There was a time when a million dollars would have been record-breaking for an HDB flat. But we’ve reached the point where million-dollar flats no longer have the same shock value. In some projects, like Pinnacle @ Duxton, a million dollars is even an expected price. Now instead, the focus is shifting to $1.5 million as the definition of a truly expensive […] The post 23 HDB Resale Flats That Broke The $1.5 Million Barrier In 2024 first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

Latest transaction in Dec showed a same size low floor unit transacting at S$1790 psf. Another all time high. Compared with my purchase of $1,147 psf in 2019 that’s S$664,219 of total capital gain excluding rental gains. This in percentage term equates to 56.05% capital gain since 2019. This unit of mine has been rented out since 10th May 2019 till […] The post Glendale Park Dec 2024 Update first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

Thanks to a recent newspaper article, many people are asking if new cooling measures have already kicked in.  Which is disappointing for so many reasons, not least being that so few read beyond the headline these days. Some of you may know what I’m referring to: a recent newspaper article which raised the possibility of […] The post Are More Property Cooling Measures Coming to Singapore In 2025? first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

As Jean Paul Sartre famously wrote (and is famously misquoted), hell is other people. Some of us are naturally communal and like to hear the neighbour’s pets, children, relatives, etc. wandering by. But just as many of us have had bad experiences with neighbours, or have the kind of job where you just need quiet once […] The post 6 Ultra-Private Condos In Singapore With No Next-Door Neighbours  first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

We last did this a year ago – when we looked at some of the most expensive HDBs on the market. At that time, the most expensive HDB in Singapore was a 5-room flat in Bukit Merah for $1.45m, which has now been completely surpassed by a $1.73m resale HDB at Sky Oasis @ Dawson.

Does anyone sell their home on Christmas? The answer appears to be yes! Some surprisingly profitable transactions occur on Christmas day, so maybe someone got a gift-wrapped new condo. Not literally, because that would take a lot of wrapping paper. At the risk of confusing Santa with a change of address – because that’s what […] The post The Surprising Property Deals That Closed On Christmas Day In Singapore first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

Given the rise of Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ) and the prominence of District 15 (RCR), any properties in the area should be doing well. And if there is anything that Singaporeans love in their condo developments: it is the trifecta of being freehold, close to the MRT, as well as being located on top of […] The post Why This Freehold Condo On Top Of A Mall Isn’t As Profitable As You Might Think first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

It has been close to 4 years since we purchased our second property. You can read more about that here. We paid the 12% ABSD back then to keep our HDB when we purchased our second property. Close to 4 years later, we are glad to say that we have “broke even” on the ABSD paid. […] The post Broke even on our Additional Buyer Stamp Duty (ABSD) first appeared on TheFinance.sg.
