Is it a good time to buy a landed property to stay now?

[Milgram]

My folks thinking about purchasing a landed (F/H) property now (to stay). It's about 980K. Land size 1300 sqft, built up about 1500 sqft. Is it wise for them to get it now? Is the price okay?

 

Thanks.

Then make sure it is a corner unit!

You know I'm a location-whore so Lorong Ah Soo landed selling 980 damn expensive to me deh

eh.. land size of 1300sq ft is extremely small...even a condo is bigger than that.

 

and for that price.. per sq ft doesn't really work out. what's the condition? new or old? renovation needed?

 

if you ask me, just the location and price already don't work out. and given the small size, I assume if you can squeeze a car in, you would have problem opening the door.

 

at a built up of 1500, I guess it's double storey with at most 3 rooms. if you have 4 room, then the room shd be very small.

 

 

P.S. a lot of guess work in my post coz you didn't supply much information.

Then price is around there but not many units there. Anyway, I would not pay more than 900K depending on condition and the size is small. Got SCV cable? The roof condition ok? Manhole inside house or outside house? how many stories? near Paya Lebar Methodist Gal school? Try not to get those facing main road. Corner Terrace is the best option.
