To sell your house, be a buyer first

Okay, it’s been awhile since we came up with a read-worthy article.

So, since the recent market reports have been showing so much steam in the property market, we thought of doing this article to provide some advice on how a home-seller can price his property competitively (not too high, not too low – just nice for the current market).

As the title has already indicated, the core strategy is simply to put yourself in the shoes of the buyers, and shop around … think like a buyer would think, view like a buyer would view.

Now, what will a buyer do when buying a property?

A buyer will –

1 – look through internet listings, classifieds, ask friends for some advice

2 – arrange to view a whole bunch of properties which they may find suitable (location, price, size, etc)

3 – think about financing issues, inspect condition of house, look in depth into the unit layout and site plan of the property, think about how much to spend on renovation (if necessary), etc

4 – shortlist a number of properties for review and negotiation

When you look at other properties which are “comparable” to yours, you may discover strengths and weaknesses about other properties as compared to yours.

Ask yourself then, whether their pricing has already taken into account the strengths and weaknesses, then relook at your own property and see whether it is necessary to adjust your price upwards or downwards accordingly to what else is available in the market.

Whilst you view properties, you will also be interacting with many property salespersons (agents), and there is a good chance one of them might be a suitable person to help market your property (if you liked the way he presented himself to you).

If you know both yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.

HDB Mobile – data on your handphone

HDB has recently launched a mobile version of the HDB website, allowing users to check information on the move. This provides a convenient solution to users who need information on the move but do not carry a laptop / iphone =)

Some of the latest applications on Mobile@HDB include the following:

• Buying a New Flat. Home buyers can now check for the results of their sales application, the flats that are available for selection, and also check on the probable completion dates of their new flats.

• Buying a Resale Flat. Home buyers can now check on resale transaction prices on the go. This will be a useful feature especially when they are out viewing resale flats at various locations. They could also check on the ethnic quota, work out a financial plan, and the distance between HDB blocks to qualify for CPF housing grants for living close to parents/children.

• Others. The public can also use our Where2Shop application to find out where to shop and eat in the heartland. They could also check on the status of HDB’s upgrading programmes, and follow us with our latest news and events.

2. For property buyers who already have one or more outstanding housing loans at the time of the new housing purchase:
   1. Increase the minimum cash payment from 5% to 10% of the valuation limit; and
   2. Decrease the Loan-to-Value (LTV) limit for housing loans granted by financial institutions regulated by MAS to these buyers from the current 80% to 70%.

The measures will take immediate effect on 30 August 2010.

Hungry Ghost Month 2010 (10th Aug to 7th Sep)

Some say … it’s inauspicious to buy property during Lunar 7th Month (aka Hungry Ghost Month). This year, it will start on 10th Aug and end on 7th Sep. Others say … can buy, but just don’t start renovation within the month. There are also many who believe it’s best not to move into a new home during the 7th Month.

A couple years back, 7th month or no 7th month, buyers were still flocking to showflats and making new purchases.

Anyway, if you are seriously particular about the timing, here’s how to time everything perfectly (for good luck and good sense)

You can make a purchase in early August, let the paperwork go through until October, proceed to do your renovation until late November, move into your new home early December … just in time to celebrate Christmas and New Year in your new home.

Buying a property? Let us help you.

Private home sales falls to lowest level in 2010

First time this year, private home sales has fallen below the 1,000 units mark (… and we are thankful for the breather)

URA said 143 new homes in the city and prime districts were sold during the month, while the city fringe saw 275 units changing hands. Homes in the suburban areas were most popular with 429 units sold.

Figures from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) showed that just 847 new homes were sold, down from 1,083 transactions done in May.

Experts said high-end homes will stage a comeback and could see a price increase, due to continued interest from foreign investors.
