Pros of co-living 1. Fully furnished rooms One of the greatest benefits of co-living would be that the rooms are all already furnished for you, so you can expect to enjoy a functional television, microwave, washing machine alongside a strong wifi connection. If you’re co-living in a condominium, facilities like the pool and gym are also accessible to you. Aside from the sheer convenience of having a house that is move-in ready, you can also save a great deal of money on these purchases. Diffe...

July 06, 2021 Stackedhomes 2021 has been a tough year for buyers; especially first-time home seekers. We’ve seen prices rise in almost every property segment, from resale flats to condos to landed homes.

Here’s what’s happening right now: Prices rose again in Q2 2021, but at a much slower pace than in previous qua...

May 11, 2021 Stackedhomes From the long wait for Permanent Resident (PR) status, to the process of house hunting, finding an HDB flat can be a challenge.

TOP: 3Q 2025 One-North Eden is a much anticipated launch for investors and homeowners alike as it marks the first residential development at one-north in 14 years, with the last launch being The Rochester Residences, which TOP-ed in 2011. The one-north (yes, the small letters are deliberate) precinct spans 200-hectares and is meant to be an icon of Singapore’s knowledge economy. Let me explain – it was first conceptualised in 1991 before masterplanned in 2001 by the renowned Zaha Hadid Arch...

3. Property agent commission fees Your property agent has done the job of marketing and closing the deal on your behalf. Naturally, they’ll have to be paid for their services. Typically, the market rate for an agent would set you back one per cent to two per cent of the transaction price. 4.

It has been an intriguing first few months of 2021 so far. From the introduction of the massive Normanton Park , to the uniquely positioned The Reef at King’s Dock – you could say that home buyers have had quite a good spread to choose from so far (adding on to the already flourishing list of new launches).

Yishun Note that these may change over time. The HDB website will always specify whether an estate is considered mature or non-mature, for each sale exercise.
