Checking out Sky Eden site for one of my clients who is interested to get a unit in District 16.

After an overwhelming response to AMO Residences in Ang Mo Kio, it is interesting to see how the response will be for Sky Eden.

Another exciting project in yet another mature estate, Bedok.

One of the best attributes of Sky Eden is the location, as it is only within 3 minutes walk to Bedok MRT. Not to mention there is tight supply of units within the close vicinity.

I have written an article on Sky Eden, touching on the main features of this project as well as the average prices of the condo nearby.

Do note that this is a developing article as we do not have all the information from developer yet.

PM me if you are keen to receive updates on this project.

With the upcoming launches and supply in District 15, should buyers looking to invest here buy now or wait?

Liv@MB will be launching soon. Sites at Thiam Siew Avenue and Jalan Tembusu have been sold. Dunman Road site has been put up for public tender.

What is the inventory level for existing launches in District 15 like Amber Park, Meyer Mansion etc? How about their transacted prices?

And how about the land price for future launches and their estimated launch price?

Let's dissect the data for District 15 and discuss whether you should invest now or wait and see.

This policy change will likely benefit both public and private homes, especially those aging ones.

For older leasehold properties, this change in the use of CPF may help to expand the buyer pool.

Essentially, in order for a buyer to be able to use his CPF to finance up to the Valuation Limit (i.e. 100% of the lower or valuation or purchase price), the age of the youngest buyer who is using CPF + the remaining lease must be >/= 95 years.

This is less restrictive compared to the previous policy and the buyer has more choice if he is indeed considering older leasehold properties.

This would be very useful for a buyer who is looking to buy an older HDB flat to live near his aging parents. Besides the expanded use of the CPF to cover up to Valuation Limit, he would also be able to enjoy the use of the Proximity Housing Grant which now has an expanded distance circumference of 4km.

Though this new policy change may take some time for buyers to get used to, we believe the expanded options that it now accords to buyers will have a positive impact for older leasehold properties over the longer term.

Older flats may see more attention from buyers, now that buyers may have the option of using more CPF monies. There may even be a slight increase in prices of these old flats. However, as transaction data is readily available for both public and private homes, we expect that transacted prices will still hover around valuation, and large price hikes are unlikely.

Taken together with VERS and HIP ll, older HDB flats are likely to still attract buyers, given their spaciousness and convenient locations.

SINGAPORE: New rules on buying homes using CPF or HDB housing loans will be introduced, that will focus on whether the remaining lease of the ...
