The latest issue of Kim Eng Research’s “The Real Deals” focused on the Hillview Avenue area.

Looks like owners of older developments in the neighbourhood should really thank Far East and Kingsford development for helping to propel the values of their homes upward…

The Real Deals: So where are the good yields found?

No too big a surprise here, but it just reinforced the notion that it pays to go “mass market”…

The wife and I have to double-check on this, but at first glance, the top 10 projects with the best rental yields (i.e. more then 10 rental contracts signed and over 10 resale transactions) are all more than 10 years old.

SSD: So who had taken the hit and bailed?

The latest issue of The Real Deals has provided some interesting insights on how the imposition of Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD) and its subsequent revisions have affected sellers who sold within a year of purchase.

And going by Kim Eng’s figures, the total number of developers’ unsold units has risen by over 1,100 in just one week!

The latest issue of  “The Real Deals” featured the up and coming estate of Punggol.

According to an entry in Wikipedia, Punggol, also spelt as Ponggol, means “hurling sticks at the branches of fruit trees to bring them down to the ground” in Malay. It could also refer to a place where fruits and forest produce are offered wholesale and carried away. These possible names indicate that Punggol was a fruit growing district. The place is said to take its name from the river Sungei Ponggol.


Punggol used to be called a “ghost town” due to the large number of built but unoccupied HDB flats. It was unpopular with potential home buyers then, given its distance from the city and lack of malls and recreational facilities. But what a difference a couple of years make!

The wife and I have tried posting the document in its embedded form but found that it slows the loading of our blog page to a crawl. We believe this is an incompatibility issue between Blogger and Scribd. If anyone of you from Blogger is reading this, please look into it. Thank you!
