You probably won't be surprised to hear that 1 bedroom units are usually the first to sell out. To give you examples, recent new launches like Midtown Modern (90% of 1 and 2 bedroom units sold at launch), Irwell Hill Residences sold over 50% of its units (81% of its units are 1 and 2 bedroom), and One-North Eden on the weekend - selling out its 1 and 2 bedroom units by 10am.
Do note:
We restricted our findings to units of 600 sq. ft. or below; units of this size would be considered a one-bedder today. We are looking at size because the term “one-bedder” has changed over time; for old condos there are even 900+ sq. ft. units that are labelled “one-bedders”.
We have also kept to transactions dated 14 January 2011 or later. This is when the Sellers Stamp Duty (SSD) was imposed. Transactions before this date could have been sub-sales (e.g., buying and selling the unit before it’s even completed), which would distort the view of potential returns.
Here are some of our key findings:
- Prime region 1 bedroom units fare the worst for gains
- There’s continued evidence that 1 bedroom units have superior yields
- Returns can get worse over longer holding periods
- Leasehold has generally outperformed freehold
- Smaller 1 bedroom units generally lose more
- Overall, profitable transactions significantly outnumber unprofitable ones

Nope. There are many investment vehicles out there.. properties are meant to stay, not to speculate..

@jonathanya154 2 жыл бұрын

@@MrJasonjace If properties are meant to be own stayed, then there will not be any rental units available in the market, and everybody needs to buy. Property investment is a good source of passive income if you can afford it, in the form of rental income. It need not necessarily be for speculation.

Hi Jonathan.. Ty for explaination.. I think you just explained something that I couldnt.. so ty.. =)) What I meant to say is, properties are meant to stay whether be it own, short rental or long lease.. As for the person who rent/lease out, it is to secure wealth and to gain passive income (as u mentioned) at the same time.. but truth be told, many properties owners in Singapore (and around the World) tend to over leverage w/o knowing or self checking.. Hence speculate.. i.e. owing 800,000 to millions thinking that they are able to return even over 25~30 years

@@MrJasonjace Speculation of property was quite common in the past in Singapore, where property buyers snapped up property and sell them for a good profit in the short term, pushing property prices sky high. Government has since imposed seller stamp duty whereby buyers would need to pay tax up to 12% of the selling price of the property within the first year of purchase. This has somewhat curb the speculation activities to a certain extent.

Would love to hear thoughts on the implications of purchasing this for own stay for singles under 35. Thanks!

@StackedHomes 2 жыл бұрын

Hey! If it's for own stay, then there's really nothing wrong with that. In fact, buying a 2-bedroom can be quite wasteful for a single, unless you intend to use the full space or rent out the other room for extra income? So long as it meets your own-stay criteria, not everything can be measured in financial terms. If it's for investment though, then it's different!

Another awesome episode! It sounds like after everything 1 bedroom unit remains skeptical about capital gains especially when you are not renting it out

@StackedHomes 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Kelvin! Yes actually our general outlook is that due to the supply mix, 1-bedroom tends to be more competitive due to price issues, and since they're generally investor-led, many of these investors are willing to sell for lower since they make from their rental gains, as opposed to more family-oriented units.

Just signed a contract for 1 bedroom in Sydney after thinking so much. You get what you pay. 2 beds, you have to borrow more money, pay more and you have to rent out to save money and you dont have privacy. You always live with strangers. 1 bed you pay less and keep privacy. 1 vs 2: not much difference

if i buy from resale market for a unit which 1 year old, for staying not investment, how long optimally should i keep it before considering to upgrade. what factors i should consider before selling? should i continue to keep as hedge as rental at the same time considering to purchase a 2 bedder?

@StackedHomes 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Ro Nin! Wow these are pretty loaded questions that can't be answered without more details. It depends a lot on what you've bought, why you bought it and your overall objectives. We would always find out what the best "holding period" is on average across the past 2 decades but ultimately it'd be an average and is meaningless without knowing your situation. You could drop us an email to hello@stackedhomes.com if you'd like a more in-depth discussion. Thanks!

What is the prime age to sell a 1 bedder leasehold condo before lease decay kicks in?

@StackedHomes 2 жыл бұрын

Hey! It depends on the condo itself, so it's hard to say. But a study done by NUS shows that for leasehold properties, the decay accelerates past the age of 20.
