Strong Rental Demand and Higher Yield Is Sweet Music to Investors Ears

Such a huge work force will impose a fair bit of strain on the rental housing market, significantly hiking up rental demand and boosting rental opportunities for properties near the Changi Area.

Additionally, the new university SUTD, Singapore University of Technology and Design to be completed in 2015, will channelled a highly skilled and professional work force to boost demand for quality housing. 

 The Emphasis Is On Quality Housing

Professionals, expatriates, managers and executives draw decent wages. Expect them to pursue quality housing to complement their lifestyles, and that means demand for newer and better homes. Condos with upmarket ambiences, good themes and better living environment will do well to tap the rental market.  

If you are investing with rental in mind, The Glades, Urban Vista and surrounding properties like Eco should be on your buy list. Investors will plonk down their cheques in a heartbeat when good opportunities present themselves, won't they?

A Commercial Hub Just Opposite

Adding a commercial centre across the road will boost investment value a notch. This apparently is what The Glades and Urban Vista will soon get to enjoy when the new commercial centre comes up just at their doorstep.

The Glades - Double up your investment

Why The Glades at Tanah Merah

How often do you get a 2nd chance? If you have missed Urban Vista, The Glades throws up another opportunity for ownership. If you have gotten a unit in Urban Vista, you can double up your investment too by taking up a second unit in The Glades. Yep, I agree that 7 or 10 per cent Additional Buyer Stamp Duty (ABSD) can be troublesome or deterring with the new property curbs. But what the heck - a great project is a great project, anyway you look at it.

A timeless Shakespearean quote:

'There is a time and tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood will lead to fortune.'

Can this be the flood that will lead to fortune? Your choice of property projects and location matters.

5 Major Reasons Why The Glades Is A Good Option

1, Reputable Developers - Keppel Land and China Vanke.

2. Tap into the potential value of a future Commercial Hub diagonally opposite The Glades Condo.

3. Any development near MRT is a big draw factor - The Glades is just 1 min. away from Tanah Merah Station, 1 MRT stop away from Changi Business Park and 2 stops away from Changi International Airport.

4. Intrinsic demand from professionals working in the 71 hectare Changi Business Park, and Changi International Airport, the 7th busiest international airport in the world, serving 100 over airlines with over 220 destinations and employing 32,000 staff.

5. Investors Choice - Current average rental for neighboring projects like the Optimah @ Tanah Merah is $4.34 psf per month, but can go to a high point of $7.78 psf. pm. Average rental yield is 3.7%. Developments like The Glades and Urban Vista in good locations with good rental yield and strong investment returns will draw investors like bees to honey.

In depth analysis for Why The Glades here 

Calculating Rental Yield 

1 Bedroom Apartment Purchase Cost - $700,000

Rental yield of 4% = $700,000 x 0.04 = $28,000

$28,000 divided by 12 months = $2,334 

4% yield of $700,000K 1 bedder will fetch a monthly rent of $2,334.

Based on per sq ft calculation, using above rental yield of 4%

$2,334 monthly rent divided by 431 sq ft floor area = $5.29 psf per month

A 1 bedder of 431 sq ft with a monthly rent of $2,334 will fetch $5.29 psf or 4% of rental yield for your property investment.

Additional perspective on Singapore Home Ownership

A Home Is An Asset by Zen Tan

Some people think a home is a liability. It is not. It is actually an asset. It really is. It is not just a place to keep you protected from the elements and for storing stuff, it is also a place of stability. Your family needs a home and a secure environment to grow, to play and to live a meaningful life.

Investing in a home is the best thing you can do for yourself in Singapore. Though it is a small country, it is politically stable and well managed. It’s infrastructure is one of the best in the world and our economy is vibrant and still growing. Land is scarce and limited in supply. And with scarcity comes value. So whatever land or property you own, it is going to have intrinsic value. Until we peak economically and it is hard to predict when, our assets can only grow from strength to strength. That speaks volumes about the worthiness of an asset or an investment.
