    Narrowing price gap between resale units and new launches draws investors


    By Michael Lim / The Edge Property | October 23, 2015 10:00 AM MYT
    Property prices in the Core Central Region (CCR), namely prime Districts 9,10 and 11, as well as the CBD core (Districts 1 and 2) and Sentosa Cove (District 4) have corrected more significantly than the city fringe and suburban areas. This has resulted in a situation where the resale of a 99-year leasehold condominium along Newton Road in prime District 11 is cheaper in price psf compared with a new launch of a 99-year leasehold condo in the suburbs, says Donald Han, managing director of Chesterton Singapore.

    For instance, a 1,259 sq ft three-bedroom unit on the 25th floor of Amaryllis Ville changed hands for $1.88 million ($1,493 psf). The 311-unit, 99-year leasehold condo was developed by Wing Tai Holdings and completed in 2004.

    On the other hand, a 969 sq ft unit on the fourth floor of The Creek @ Bukit along Toh Tuck Road off Jalan Jurong Kechil was sold for $1.59 million ($1,641 psf). The 260-unit freehold development was launched two years ago by Chui Teng Group. As at end-August, 110 units (42%) had been sold. The price psf of the unit sold is higher than the price for the unit at Amaryllis Ville. The Creek @ Bukit is a low-rise project that comprises eight five-storey blocks.

    “For astute investors, buying a unit in a development located in the CCR is a better proposition and will give them better returns in the long run,” says Ku Swee Yong, CEO of Century 21 Singapore. “Capital appreciation and rental reversion of projects in the CBD and prime districts are better and recover at a faster pace compared with those in the suburbs.” In times of an economic slump, the vacant period between tenants is also likely to be shorter as foreigners prefer to stay nearer to their workplace in the CBD, he adds.

    The price gap will probably narrow as the slate of new launches runs out, and resale condo owners gradually raise their prices as well as octordle

    The selling price depends on the time. When the economy is up, prices usually go up and when the economy is down prices will fall.
