Almost everyone knows the old property rule of “location, location, location,” but that’s an oversimplification. It’s possible to have a property that’s in a great spot, but of the wrong layout or block to draw the best resale value.

Almost everyone knows the old property rule of “location, location, location,” but that’s an oversimplification. It’s possible to have a property that’s in a great spot, but of the wrong layout or block to draw the best resale value. This week, we spoke to someone who regrets getting a two-bedder condo unit, in an otherwise supposedly “safe” location. There’s a good amount to be learned from all this:S purchased a condo a few years ago, in the seemingly infallible location of Stevens Road.

Rentability, which refers to the ease of finding a tenant, is typically high. A lot of people would love to live near Orchard, and near an MRT station in a low-density neighbourhood. However, rental yield can be much lower than a more humble, mass-market condo or flat. As of 2023, a mid-sized , mass-market development will have maintenance fees of around $75 to $85 per share value per month; that’s about $375 to $425 per month for larger units. .

“When we first bought it, we really didn’t think about the practical aspects as a home,” S says, “For example, it has an open kitchen and no real yard area. As a two-bedder there was space for one kid, but not a second one. Also, there’s no helper’s room. So it’s good for a couple with one kid, but beyond that, it’s very limited.”
