The property focus is still broad. Are candidates being considered across property types, or is experience in one particular part of the market more relevant? That would help people answer the request about the work they know best.

What does “needs updating” mean here—cosmetic choices, unfinished items, or defects that an inspection might identify? That distinction affects whether to ask for a lower price or repair credits. I’d also ask what is known about the seller’s timing and motivation. Twenty-six days alone says...

I’d push back on automatically giving the completed sale the greatest weight. It is better evidence than an asking price only if it is recent and genuinely comparable. A different lane, floor, outlook, building condition or parking arrangement can overwhelm the sale-versus-listing distinction...

I’m not convinced the 170 m² deserves a straightforward size premium. With only three bedrooms, the floor plan could be generous and attractive, or inefficient with circulation and unusable corners. Compare usable rooms, floor distribution and light before treating all the area equally. A floor...

The Singapore market feels split rather than uniformly fast or slow. We’re looking at serviced apartments in two neighbourhoods, mostly between S$444,900 and S$667,300, and many seem to reach roughly 75 days on market. Listings with clear transaction-fee information appear to move differently...

I wouldn’t automatically pay more for an inclusive package. Photography is visible and easy to price, but it may not be where the meaningful difference lies. Negotiation, buyer qualification and support after an agreement are harder to assess from a service list. Ask each agent to explain a...

Is the completed sale in the same development, and how close is it in date, floor level, orientation and layout? With only one transaction, those details could matter more than whether the other units differ by a few square metres.

That is fair, but an empty unit does not automatically prove urgency. Some sellers may simply have moved before listing. Bianca, I would track four things together: recent completed sales, new-listing volume, withdrawn stock and days until the first reduction. Withdrawals are important because...

For a first rental, work backwards from net income as a second test of the price. Ask for service charges, reserve contributions, management or letting costs, furnishing needs and maintenance history, then stress-test the rent rather than relying on the headline amount. My order would be...

I agree with Joana on clarifying the roles, but I would not reject the setup solely because one agency is involved. The practical issue is whether you still receive undivided advice from your own contact. Ask for the conflict position, fee basis, response times and fall-through support in...

Condition may be part of the pattern, but I would not separate it from financing. A home near S$1,206,000 can attract viewings and still lose buyers when they calculate the full monthly commitment, producing the same slow-listing-and-price-cut pattern as a property needing work. The narrowest...

I would not weaken the valuation condition merely because other bids may exceed completed comparables. Those bids are not completed sales, and the appraisal gap is only one possible cash demand. An inspection could uncover work, and there is no assurance the seller will grant repair credits...

Vacancy alone probably does not answer it. An empty unit can be easier to view, but it can also expose every defect and make a tired interior look worse. Are you using “vacant” to mean empty during marketing, or looking at rental vacancy? Those would lead to different buyer behaviour.
