What’s even more exclusive about Royalgreen is that all its units are North-South facing! This factor is a strong selling point for a Singapore condo as North-South units are able to avoid the direct sunlight during the day while enjoying a strong breeze!

Is Royalgreen A Good Home-Stay or Investment Opportunity?

Often, we have clients asking us this, “Is freehold for home-stay or investment?”

While this question has ignited a huge debate among property gurus over the years, you would have to take a step back and look at it at another angle.

We often know that location carries the most weight when it comes to evaluating a property’s worth. For condo properties, the location could be the most important factor in a lucrative capital appreciation.

Adapted from 99.co, let’s take a look at the comparison between the condos in Novena and Sembawang:

From the chart, it’s clear that the average psf prices for a condo (regardless of leasehold or freehold) in a prime district like Novena, commands a much higher upside pricing than an obscure Sembawang.

After all, location is of the utmost importance to both home buyers and property investors.

Furthermore, look at the trend in the past 15 years – the average psf prices for condo properties have been rising steadily and significantly.

Coming back to the question, home stay or investment?

Since we’ve deciphered the importance value of location previously, let’s take a look at Royalgreen’s location.

Looking at the map, there are 3 things to take note of:

1. MRT Station & Integrated Transport Hub

As mentioned above, Royalgreen is located in between King Albert Park and Sixth Avenue MRT Station, with Sixth Avenue being the closest with a 3-4 minutes walk. This is a perk that most freehold condos are missing, which Royalgreen has!

Take note that under the Draft Master Plan 2019, the Beauty World’s upcoming Integrated Transport Hub will further enhance the connectivity for residents living near Beauty World MRT Station.

2. Nearby Schools

Various prominent schools such as Raffles Girls’ Primary, Methodist Girls’ School, and Hwa Chong Institution are within a 1km radius. Great news for parents who are looking to put their children in nearby schools for convenience. There is plenty of renowned primary to tertiary schools near Royalgreen, leaving parents with no lack of choices.

3. Shopping & Leisure

Beauty World Centre, Bukit Timah Plaza, and even Bukit Timah Nature Reserve are near to Royalgreen, making shopping and leisure activities a short trip away!

Now as we understand the strategic location Royalgreen has, it’s no doubt that the location will be a major contributing factor for both capital appreciation and rental potential for both home buyers and investors.

Although, there is one thing that investors should take note of. Most tenants ignore the fact that whether your property is freehold or leasehold. As long as it’s affordable and provides convenience and accessibility, they would pick that property. This is a complication that most freehold properties are facing as their counterparts often offer the same benefits with its affordability being more attractive.

Planning Your Future

With an indicative pricing of $2,600 psf, Royalgreen will be a reasonable price for the excellence in luxury living. If you possess some knowledge about the pricing of freehold properties, you would be aware that this pricing is one of the more affordable ones, factoring in the supreme location that it offers.

One thing that should help any pricing worries is the knowledge that the cost of properties will only go up. (just take a look back at the average psf chart for Novena and Sembawang properties) This indicates that the price that you pay for your condo now will be much less than what you sell it for in the future. With Singapore experiencing a green makeover, now is the time to invest. With proper Property Wealth Planning knowledge, your roadmap to property investments will prove to be a lucrative one in 5-10 years.
