Property Investment

The article ("Good time to invest in S'pore real estate: Minister" ST Apr 11 2007) is a big boost for Singapore property market. With foreign companies investing $5.4 billion in 2006, it clearly shows our economy is structurally and fundamentally strong.

With such strong confidence in the Singapore economy, we can see more foreign investors snapping up Singapore properties by the "bulk". A Chinese investor just did that by purchasing a whole block of 10 units of a new luanch development in Balmoral / Stevens Road area, amounting to $52 million.

The ripple effect for the rise in property price is also felt in the mass market condominiums. Kovan Melody located just next to the exit of Kovan MRT, has enjoyed an appreciation of 10%-12% since its launch in 2004. With the economy staying strong, I can only imagine further appreciation in property prices for this development. For the investors in Kovan Melody, they are enjoying a return of around 5%, and forseable higher return in years to come.

Good Investment!

New Year new targets

2007 came and out went 2006. Time to reflect and make new goals for the year.

2006 was a decent year. I had improved in my deals, which translate to having more money. Hooray! But on the other hand, I had also learnt the hard way of not managing myself, my expences, my money properly. But all these are in the past, now time to plan for the year...

2007 Targets:
i) personal goal - do better in managing myself, my expences, and my money!
ii) sales goal - 5 cases a month for next 12 months
iii) team goal - groom my new members to become a highly respectable professional realtor.

99 year leasehold vs Freehold

The tenure of a property has always been a factor when purchasing a condominium. Most buyers would prefer to have a Freehold tenure condominium compare to 99 yr leasehold.

Previously, Central Provident Fund (CPF) does not allow its members to use savings to buy properties with leases less than 60 years remaining. But this has changed to 30 years remaining. And with this change, the line between leasehold and freehold is increasingly blurred.

"Long term prospect for the 99-year leasehole properties now look much better with the precedent set by Eng Cheong Tower. Successful new leasehold developments include The Sail @ Marina, The Berth @ Sentosa Cove and 8 @ Mt Sophia. So when it comes to it, property is about location. Tenure is important but still secondary." (ST June 30, 2005 - Property Watch)

You should visit Kovan Melody, a brand new soon-to-TOP development next to Kovan MRT. It has full condo facilities and vast amenities including Heartland Mall, banks, and hawker centre - just opposite the condominium.

So why wait? Come down today or call me @ 9185-0641 for viewing appointment.

Excellence

As the word goes, being second best is just not good enough.

I have modified my "slogan" from Attitute-Commitment-Execution to Attitute-Commitment-Excellence.

I strongly felt that having Positive Attitute, Service Commitment,and Smooth Execution for my clients are somewhat not "perfect" enough. They deserve my Excellent Service, Excellent Attitute, and Excellence Experience in the whole process of Purchasing / Selling their property.

And this is what I am going to do for all my clients, now and in future.

Cheers
