        Interesting, didn’t know angmo like to drink tea at balconies. Mine have large balconies.
        The one I bought used to face lush greenery and the previous owner paid a premium for the view. But it has now become “hospital view”. :rotflmao:

        I am not greedy, just aiming for those medical/research/health care staff/graduate students working nearby who find its location convenient to rent it. Health care is recession proof. :evil:

        No, mine is not on ground floor. Is ground floor unit good? An agent told me ground floor units are hard to sell because not many like ground floor units.

          Many don't like ground floor units because if people upstairs throw things like cigarette buds, soiled diapers and flower pots down, guess where they land. :scared: And then, there are the insect and garbage chute smell problems. :sick: Not to mention passers-by can just peek or even climb in etc etc. :faint:

            I think there won't be anymore \"greenery view\" in sg....\"Green buildings\" view perhaps 😓 Quite sad..but it is a fact of life that we hv to accept.

            I am not sure for others. My previous tenants (australian, american, Eurasians) love greenery. They love the large balcony & use balcony for alfresco dining. One of them used balcony planter as a recessed seating, they leaned on balcony ledge after a long day’s work with a glass of wine and gaze out into the night sky.

            One of my tenants love plants, so i worked with local plant nurseries to get them to recommend appropriate plants that would suit their needs and preferences.

            Yes, ground floor units r hard to sell due to various reasons (for e.g. lack of privacy if near to pool or walkway, exposure to vermin, etc..) On the other hand, penthouse units oso hard to sell. Hv to pay higher maintenance fees as well.

              Is yours a ground floor unit?

              Actually I do have two relatives who purposely bought ground floor units (with huge patios) and lovin’ their units.

              You are such a nice landlord, even ordered plants that your tenants favour.

                The agent told me as long as her listings are not ground floor or top floor units, she feels more relieved because these are harder to sell.

                If the ground floor patio is uncovered, for me to sit there and slip coffee, I would be very worried that a flower could drop on to me.

                Recently, I saw 1-2 developments where the pool are uncovered and directly exposed to the units’ windows. Very vulnerable to high-level littering

                  Used to think the same of ground floor units, but agent friend told me as long as the unit is in a development not more than 5 storeys high, and has a roof trellis over the patio, he has no problem selling it. The chute is not smelly if only 5 units are throwing stuff into it.


                  He has more trouble selling duplex penthouses with only 2 bedrooms… those are not popular.

                      It is true that owners are raising their asking prices. After I sold my unit in a development, the asking prices increased from mid to high $800k. A recent caveat lodged indicated increase in psf.


                      Now, I hope to recover my “losses” from another unit that is likely to TOP third quarter this year.

                        Could it be the increased in price was due to different floor i.e. higher floor.
