These transactions prove irresistible property buys are still on the market.
SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - From Aug 6 to Aug 30, we looked for property transactions that were deemed as value buys for each asset class – condominiums, HDB flats and landed houses. (See also: Value buys among Singapore properties: Aug 1 to 13)
For the purposes of this article, we limited our search to condominiums in Districts 9, 10, 11 as well as District 15, that sold for less than $1,500 psf.
Likewise, five-room, executive, jumbo HDB flats or maisonettes that transacted below $800,000 within the areas of Bishan, Toa Payoh and Queenstown, were considered an irresistible deal. (See: Find HDB flats for rent or sale with our Singapore HDB directory)
With landed property, any terrace, semi-detached house or bungalow that sold for $2.5 million and below, was considered a steal.
