HDB flat sold at S$1.7 million! (RM5.91 million)

The Singaporean government builds majority of all the new homes in Singapore every year. This is done via the Housing Development Board (HDB). In fact most Singaporeans would stay in a HDB unit because it’s the most affordable property they could afford. Beyond that, there are private condos but those are very expensive and majority could not afford these units and definitely would prefer to buy a HDB unit instead.

RTS Link. Latest Progress and Photos and my comments

I know I will definitely be driving down to JB within this year (At the moment, should be in October) to feel the atmosphere and the vibrancy because I have not been to JB for around 1.5 years. Oh course, if some event organiser / property developer were to invite me to give a property talk, then it could be even earlier. If you have followed kopiandproperty.com for a while, you will know I am a supporter of the RTS and in fact this is one huge catalyst to the attractiveness of both JB and Singapore in attracting even more foreign investments.

Personal Finance 101: Renting can save money, right? Simple answer is Yes, but…

Today, we just focus on renting a room or renting a bed space inside a room. We will look at these two options as the more affordable options for a working adult intending to ensure he / she does not spend too much on rental and is able to save a good amount every month while working in Singapore.

What price would you sell? Same price as you bought? Lower price than what you paid for? Or higher and following market price? Or, the government tells you the price you should sell?

Personal Finance 101: In my opinion, the strongest currency in the world is SGD

I have written many times that the currency fluctuation should just be based on the trade of goods and services. Well, unfortunately there is no such thing as fairness, so the currency exchange is also a tool which countries would try and influence for their own economy’s benefit. Stronger nations benefit, weaker nations would have to just ‘let it go’ and hope for the best.

Property Investment 101: Home price cannot keep rising non-stop lah

Actually the line which attracted me in the article was the final line. It says, “A public housing unit was resold for a record S$1.5 million (US$1.1 million) in June.” Wow… S$1.5 million for a public housing unit yeah. I checked with my good friend in Singapore and she said this is applicable only to the units in great location and superb views too. Nevertheless, I am very sure her unit would become 7 figures in the future, if not yet for now.

Property Investment 101: Increasing monthly rental versus paying higher monthly rental

From an article I read where the link is provided just below, it tells me that it is not just the working professionals who may face rental increase when the demand is higher than the supply of homes. Even the wealthier ones are also affected by rental increase. Yes, the wealthier ones also rent and does not necessarily own the place. 🙂 Imagine the person these wealthy ones are renting from.
