Why I am willing to invest in "www.juronghdb.com"

This is a revolutionary idea that has only occurred to me 4 years into the real estate industry. When buyers look for houses, they will not search for "Tiffany Propnex". Instead, they will search for "Jurong HDB" or "Bukit Panjang HDB".

As this is a new concept to me, I will be consulting IT experts on the website layout, and on tips to generate website traffic and ensure that my website gets maximum exposure on search engines.

All along, I have always found that buyers nowadays are very IT-savvy and they like to conduct "Online Viewings" before they come down for viewing. I hope that eventually www.juronghdb.com will be the website to go to for prospective buyers, and I will diverting my resources towards developing this website in 2010.

About HDB Resale Transactions

As an agent, I feel very strongly that knowledge is power. I see my job as a professional who presents the facts to my buyers and sellers so that they can make an informed decision on their assets.

You can check the latest transactions of the area you are interested in, at HDB's website: http://services2.hdb.gov.sg/webapp/BB33RTIS/BB33PReslTrans.jsp"

Do take note that every unit is different in terms of
- Proximity to amenities, eg MRT and schools,
- External facing, eg greenery or pool view (Yes! I have sold before HDB with condo pool view!)
- High floor or low floor,
- Lift level, corner or corridor unit,
- Internal renovation and maintanence

Two units in the same block can fetch remarkably different prices. The above items are just some of the things the Valuer and Buyers will look out for, and which will affect the eventual sale price.

Knowing how much your neighbour sold is not enough. To get a more accurate gauge of how much your property deserves, contact me for a consultation. I will show you how I will market your HDB like private property by elevating your HDB flat to "condo showflat" status, and creating hype.

At the same time, I will also do a Financial Calculation so that you know exactly how much Cash profit you will be making, and a Timeline so that you know exactly what is going to happen, and when you will get your sale proceeds.

With this information, you will be empowered to make an informed decision on whether you are ready to sell or buy at this point in time.

I have been known to advise customers against selling at a particular point in time. If I find you are not suitable to sell right now, I may suggest alternatives like renting out a room to ease the monthly installments. My aim is for long-term business - When you are finally ready to sell, I am confident of your future business.

URA Master Plan 2008 for Jurong

Get ready for transformation

Jurong East, together with Jurong Lake, offers an exciting opportunity to be developed into the biggest lakeside destination for business and leisure in the West Region. The two areas will be known as the new Jurong Lake District.

 

Centrally located in the West Region, which houses a quarter of Singapore's population of 4.2 million, the 360 ha Jurong Lake District is well connected to the CBD (about 20 minutes), Tuas Second Link and rest of the island.

 

It also has ready access to a large talent and labour pool. The nearby Jurong and Tuas Industrial Estates support global businesses ranging from biotechnology to pharmaceutical and chemical industries. There are more than 3,000 MNCs and SMEs operating in these areas.

 

Jurong Lake District will be developed through four key strategies:

 

• Develop Jurong East into a major commercial hub

• Lakeside - Create unique new leisure destinations

• Enhance connectivity between Jurong Gateway and Lakeside and bring the lake closer to the centre

• Retain and introduce more greenery to enhance green experience

Spread over 290 ha, residents and visitors can look forward to new parks, improved promenades, more water activities and numerous attractions blended in with the scenic lakeside setting:

Lakeside - New waterfront playground with more green and thrills by the lake

• Enjoy more of the beautiful lake with a new park at the western edge of Jurong Lake, near Lakeside MRT station, and an enhanced waterfront promenade

• Treat yourself to fun water activities like kayaking and dragon boating in the lake

• Chill out by the lake - shop, wine and dine in a new charming lakeside village where Lakeside and Jurong Gateway precincts meet

• Get set for new attractions and fun around the lake - for example, explore the new world class Science Centre to be located next to Chinese Garden MRT Station

Jurong Gateway - New business location by the lake

 

Jurong Gateway will become a key commercial hub in the West Region. Identified as one of three regional centres under the Concept Plan, it is part of URA's decentralisation strategy to provide jobs closer to homes, and business hubs outside the city centre.

Centred around Jurong East MRT station, and right next to the established International Business Park, it offers an attractive business location for company headquarters, business services and science and technology sectors. Here, you will find an excellent mix of office, retail, residential, hotel, entertainment and F&B uses.

When developed in 10 to 15 years, the Jurong Gateway will provide at least:

- 500,000 sqm of office space

- 250,000 sqm of retail and entertainment space

- 2,800 hotel rooms

- 1,000 new homes

What does the Jurong Lake District really means for you?

I find that a surprisingly large number of my clients are unsure about what the Jurong Lake District really means for them.

Sellers may go, "Yes, it was featured in the news... But it doesn't really affect us right? Since we're going to sell right now?"

Buyers typically say, "Yes, but this is future development. The government hasn't even built it yet."

When I sell a unit, I stress on future investment. When you buy a house, you do not just buy the interior of the flat, you also buy the facing, the location, the proximity to amenities, and - I'm not exaggerating - the future of Singapore.

This is especially obvious for PR buyers. I have had PR buyers share with me that they believe Singapore is a safe and good place to raise their kids, that they believe Singapore flat prices will surely rise because of the limited supply.

I think it's safe to say that when buyers choose a location over so many other choices, they already believe in "future investment" - that the government will pump in money to upgrade the estate, to build hospitals and other infrastructures, to build future MRTs, etc. All of us are buying into the hope that the location we have chosen will prosper.

No one would make an investment in a location that is stagnant, or worse, will deteriorate over the years, nor does anyone wish to make a loss. We are all optimistic that the value of Singapore's flats will increase, slowly but steadily in the future.

Another point is, buyers who look for own stay generally stay for at least 8 to 10 years before they start thinking of changing their environment, be it upgrading, downgrading, or even moving to another location altogether.

All of us who have moved houses before know what a hassle it is to go for constant viewings, the agonising wait for HDB 1st and 2nd Appointments, the headache of renovations, and the "joys" of packing and then unpacking all the stuff we have accumulated over the years! I reckon it's safe to say that no person would desire to repeat the whole process on a frequent basis.

Of course, this does not apply to buyers who are looking for investment by buying a unit to rent out.

Generally, most buyers with foresight will be looking at long term investment, at least 5-10 years. As the building progress develops on the Jurong Lake District project and it is featured more frequently in local news, the prices in the surrounding area will rise. I cannot stress enough to potential buyers who are cynical about this "future investment" - Buy now or regret later, please don't miss the boat!

I also wonder, will Jurong become a mini-Marina Bay? Will buyers be priced out in the Jurong prime area in future?

The surrounding towns like Bukit Batok, Bukit Panjang, and Choa Chu Kang are also worth notice in my opinion. If one day buyers or tenants are priced out of the Jurong Lake District, they may jolly well look for more affordable alternatives nearby.

As such, even if you as a homeowner does not intend to sell at this point in time, you should be in a prime position to take advantage of the "ripple" effect in future.
