Buy

Find the right unit,
not the most units.

A shortlist of two to four units, matched to your budget, your MRT line, your school catchment, and the rental yield you actually need. Negotiation grounded in URA transaction data, not brochures. No quota to fill; no pressure to commit before the maths is ready.

How I shortlist

Three filters,
applied in order.

Most buyers shortlist on the photo. We shortlist on the maths. The photo is the last filter, not the first.

01

Filter one

Affordability ceiling.

Loan ceiling at the bank rate, CPF position, stamp duty, cash buffer for the first six months. We cut everything above that line before we look at neighbourhoods.

02

Filter two

Fit constraints.

MRT line, school catchment, expected rental yield, layout for your household, exit options in five and ten years. We narrow to a list of ~12 units.

03

Filter three

Transaction reality.

URA caveats from the last 12 months, days on market, owner-versus-investor stack, asking-to-transacted ratio. We narrow to two to four units worth viewing.

Tools that help

on demand.

Selling at the same time?

Read the
Upgraders page first.

Buying a private property while still holding an HDB is a different conversation. The order of operations matters. ABSD-avoidance sequencing matters. The cash gap matters. The whole move belongs on one page.
