I bought at about S$1700 psf by land and today I checked propertyguru got similar units asking for above S$3000psf!
likely you need spend another 5-600 psf for A&A

but congrats! while A&A or rebuilt where u gonna stay?

it's a commodity that is finite and getting lesser....

has some income potential (not great yield though) and has utility

so ya, would be a good store of value...

Recently we sold our freehold condo to buy a freehold terrace at S$3.4 mil as bank valuation was as high as S$4 mil. After we bought, though haven't exercise OTP yet, a neighbouring unit smaller sold for S$3.85mil. So on paper, we make S$1 mil already!

We find freehold landed to be the safest and most lucrative asset class in land scarce Sg. Everyone agrees?
Location is in the far north?

That is what we spent on our previous landed. Prob will spend even less.
Confirm trolling... 😂😂

At that price, you need to do a lot more than just a fresh coat of paint... Don' even know how this thread lasted till 4 pages 🤣

notwithstanding your toilets reno....

given it is original condition (still squat toilets) .. there are certain things will be required

exterior waterproofing and painting (even roof repairs) would already been a big chunk of change

We usually dun spend much on renovation.

Just have to redo the squatting toilet downstairs to a toilet bowl type.

But we are aware of the hassle of maintaining a landed property as it is not our first.
this means redo most of the tiling too? then is almost entire toilet liao?

To realize the full potential of your landed, you need to hold beyond 2030, after the Paya lebar air base closure. Then height limit on its path way be lifted… enbloc potential will increase many times…

Congrats on your landed purchase…

In land scare sg, freehold landed will hold its value even in bad times… what’s more you bot way below the valuation: seller losses is your gains
seletar got kenna flight path?
