Sun, 28 Dec 2008 14:21:44 +0000 http://www.salary.sg/2007/hdb-condo-ratio/#comment-3719 Can someone please explain to me the Singaporean hype around "landed property." I personally prefer to stay in a nice posh District 9/10/11 condo rather than a "landed property". Singapore's "landed" property isn't like overseas landed where you have acres and acres of land, and cannot see into your neighbour's backyard or your neighbour's opposite facing window. So I really don't get the hype surrounding landed property, especially when there are many condos in D9/10/11 going for more than 10 million, while some landed (semi-Ds, smaller bunaglows are going for 2.5 - 5 million or less) Someone please explain this concept to me?? Can someone please explain to me the Singaporean hype around “landed property.”

Thanks. (By the way, there are also many good class bungalows that fetch astronomical transacted prices. It's just that the media recently covered more on the condo frenzy, maybe because people can relate better to sky-high apartments than to sprawling bungalows.) tristan, perhaps I should also include the word “controversially” in my post. :)

In fact, the record price paid for a condo is about 31 million. It would be wrong for some 1 living in a small landed property in a non-prime district to immediately assume that he's in the top 6.2% as condo units in the prime districts probably cost 2 to 3 times his landed property. A fairly large (3000 square feet) condo unit in district 9 at the current price of 2500 per square foot will be currently worth about 7.5 million. I think that you should consider the district and the sizes of individual condo units before making such generalizations.
