Landed property in Singapore is very undervalued, esp the ones in the west of Singapore.

There are still cheap landed properties in the Jurong area (CORPORATION and WESTWOOD landed estates) which are still selling at less than S$2mil. These will definitely rise to above S$2mil when the Jurong Lake District is developed in the next 5-8 years. Currently, not many are in the market and these get quickly snapped up and prices are moving higher and higher.
Don't buy beyond your means no matter what...

Makes sense, thx for the tip.... But I still don't want to swat mosquitoes at night. I was thinking of investing in condos in the Jurong Lake District. I have never seen a lizard or cockroach since I moved out of parent's landed to my condo. No gardening. No security alarms going off at night. No worries about break-ins. Don't even need a maid because condo living is easy maintenance.... Its the ideal home for the lazy.

But, indeed agree that landed may make a better investment for the very long term, and this is only for Singaporeans. I like the sound of that. If I had 0.4M cash downpayment for the 2M landed I would take the plunge.... Asia is the new growth area, and we are in a good position for the future. Buy land... they aren't making any more of it. (ok, in SG we do buy other countries' sand to make land around the shoreline, haha)

The trainer was good though. Heard SAP pays well, so its true.

Hi, thanks for the tips. I'm working in a bank earning $200k pa. I'm inspired by your post and now thinking of buying a landed property in the Jurong area. Saw a property selling at $1.5mil, looks affordable to me. Am thinking of buying if my fiancé agrees.

Good for you. But remember that you have to wait for a few years before prices move to $2mil and above. The area is still transforming. JCube is ready and Jem and Westgate will be ready over the next 2 years or so. If you and your future wife earns $200k each, it should not be a problem financing a $1.5m landed house. In fact you can pay off in just a few years.

What is your opinion of 99 yr landed properties?

Is landed only worthwhile investing in, if its 999 or freehold?

In property investing, it is all about location, location, location.

It doesn't matter whether it is 99 yrs or FH as long as the location is good.

If location is good, there is high chance of en bloc even though it is 99 yrs leasehold.
