A while back, we visited Third and Fourth Streets in the East: if you liked what you saw, but preferred a slightly less built-up area, Jalan Jamal is a street you could consider. It’s just off Fourth Street, so enjoys the same access to nearby amenities, but the street feels remarkably less built-up, thanks to […] The post I Toured A Rare Freehold Landed Street In The East Where The Last Home Sold For $4.6M first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

$2,900 as the average home price by 2030? Pffft. Ridiculous. That was what everyone was certainly thinking back in 2018, when this report by DBS was in the news. At the time, a typical price point for an “average home” (a mass-market condo in the OCR) would have been around $1,500 – $1,600 psf. This report was […] The post Can Singapore Property Prices Really Hit $2,900 PSF By 2030? first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

This week, we curated our top picks for the cheapest HDB flat listings above 1,300 sq ft.

When you mention Margaret Drive, most people will think of million-dollar HDBs. But while Dawson has become a household name for record-breaking resale flat prices, it’s on the radar for a whole different reason this week. At the time we’re writing this (evening of 18th October), a new launch condo here – Penrith – looks likely to […] The post Why This Rare New Queenstown Condo Nearly Sold Out Even At $2,800 Psf first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

This week, we are focusing on 4-room HDB flats near central Singapore, which are popular among many buyers. These units generally offer enough space to meet the needs of families looking to live closer to the city center. While staying near the central often comes with price premiums, many homeowners find the convenience of being […] The post The Cheapest 4-Room HDB Flats in Central Singapore You Can Still Buy Under $520K first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

I get a lot of weird looks when I say I LIKE old, slightly run-down strata-titled malls. The presence of these old malls explains some of my favourite places. Take the Katong/Joo Chiat stretch for instance: having i12 Katong and Parkway Parade there are nice. But what do I especially like in the area?

4-bedroom condos aren’t typically the most affordable properties on the market, given their size, facilities, and the premium often associated with them compared to HDB flats. That said, if space is a priority for your family and you have at least one car for easier commuting, some options strike a balance between comfort and cost.
