Top 10 ‘cheapest’ homes in Singapore
By Mr. Propwise (courtesy of PropertyGuru)
Based on the comments from my last article on the Top 10 Most Expensive Houses in Singapore, it seems many readers feel it would be useful to look at the most affordable choices instead. I have thus compiled this list of the 10 most affordable homes currently on the market in Singapore. Just like the previous article, I used PropertyGuru to filter these out (the prices below are the asking prices).
My findings? Amongst the top 10, all but one are HDB flats, which no surprise, but they tend to be in the faraway corners of Singapore such as Yishun, Marsiling and Boon Lay, although there are also flats in prime neighbourhoods such as Ang Mo Kio. The cheapest home on the market in Singapore is, surprise surprise, a landed property — but with a fatal flaw (read on to find out more).
Here are the 10 cheapest homes in Singapore in descending order:
10. For $252,000, you get a 721 sqft ($350 psf) 3NG (New Generation) HDB flat at Blk 118, Potong Pasir Avenue 1. It comes with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms and is a windy, bright and unblocked unit that is near to amenities and Saint Andrew’s, an SAP school. The asking price implies a Cash Over Valuation (COV) of around $22,000.
9. For $250,000, you get a 740 sqft ($338 psf) 3I HDB flat at Block 25 Tanglin Halt Road. It comes with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, is a corridor unit in “simple move in condition”, and is near to amenities and a school.
8. Also for $250,000, you can get a 721 sqft ($347 psf) 3NG (Modified) HDB flat at Blk 111, Yishun Ring Road. It has 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, is a corner unit on a high floor, and has designer décor. There is no COV payable.
7. In seventh place is a 3NG (Modified) HDB flat at Block 202 Marsiling Drive, also going for $250,000. At 731 sqft ($342 psf), it has 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, has a great unblocked view, and is in move-in condition. You will be minutes away from amenities and within walking distance of the Woodlands checkpoint.
6. In sixth place is a 3NG (New Generation) HDB flat at Blk 565, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, going for $247,000. For that price, you get 2 bedrooms and bathrooms and 743 sqft ($332 psf) of space. The $235,000 valuation implies a COV of $12,000.
5. For just $238,000, you can buy a 3NG (Modified) HDB flat at Block 103 Yishun Ring Road. At 721 sqft ($330 psf), you get a flat which has 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, and is near to the MRT, shops and schools. The apartment is in move-in condition, and is near to amenities and schools.
4. In fourth place is a $238,000 721 sqft ($330 psf) 3NG (Modified) HDB flat at Block 24 Marsiling Drive. It has 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, is on a high floor, and is near to Admiralty MRT station and the Woodlands checkpoint.
3. On another end of the island, you can pick up a 3I (Improved) HDB flat in Blk 185, Boon Lay Drive for $235,000. Space will be a bit tighter as it is only 624 sqft ($377 psf), but still has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The asking price implies a COV of $20,000. It is near to the market, schools and Boon Lay MRT.
2. For $215,000, you can buy a 3I (Improved) HDB flat at Block 187 Boon Lay Avenue. The ad claims that you get 2 bedrooms and bathrooms in 635 sqft ($339 psf) of space. The apartment is next to Boon Lay MRT and Boon Lay Shopping Centre, and can achieve a potential rental yield of 5 percent.
1. And the cheapest property currently being marketed on PropertyGuru is, unexpectedly, a landed property. How much would you pay for a 3+1 double-storied terrace house at Geylang Lorong 3 with 1,100 sqft of built-in area and sitting on 725 sqft of land? At an asking price of $188,000 you are paying just $171 psf (built-in) and $259 psf (land). You are located just minutes away from Kallang MRT and town, and have amenities and a community centre nearby. Sounds too good to be true? Well, this property does have a fatal flaw – it has only 9+ years of lease left. So if you buy it, you’ll be house hunting again before the decade is up…

’1,000 foreigners invested S$1.5 billion to be S’pore PRs’
I am really surpised to hear this.
Call it the price to pay for wanting to live in Singapore.
Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang has revealed that some 1,000 foreign investors have invested over $1.5 billion under the Global Investor Programme (GIP) to become permanent residents of the city-state.
These investors come mostly from North-East Asia and South-East Asia and they have either poured money into an approved investment fund or directly in a business in Singapore.
Close to 100 have invested directly in businesses ranging from engineering, R&D, shipping, asset management and services and trading, thereby creating some 1,500 jobs.
Minister Lim was replying to a question from West Coast GRC MP Ho Geok Choo in Parliament on Monday.
The GIP is aimed at attracting wealthy businessmen to set up business or invest in Singapore and to settle on the island. Mr Lim said from Jan 1, a minimum investment of $2.5 million is required to qualify for the GIP.

Jurong Bird (awesome place)
Kazu's favourite kid spaghetti with sausages.Yummy...
Karen's fish burger...Nice! potatoes are also nice.
Kenichi's beef burger-not bad...Overally,the food at Bongo restaurant is nice despite of expensive prices.We spent food about $36 only exclude drinks!After lunch,we went home happily though tired esp.Kazu.
We were tired and took a rest for a while before going back for lunch.
Kazu is born in year of Rooster...
Excuse me,I did not know what kind of bird but it suddenly appear in front of us.It was quite beautiful and harmless but I think it's quite vain and smart.It walked and stopped,it knows how to pose nicely in front of us when I took photo :)
Thank God for the good weather that we could be able to bring Kazu out the next morning (6 June,Sunday).Thankfully,Kenichi had 2 off days-sat and sun.Kazu had a good time at Jurong Bird Park.Thank God again that we don't have to pay admission fees except Kazu who is hearing.We can pay child admission fee-$12.90 only :) I use my handphone to take photo because Kenichi was too tired/lazy to bring his SLR camera.Reaching there,he realised that there are many nice places/birds to take photo so he will bring us there again this month so that he can bring his camera and take many photos later.
last June for father day
We had pizza and bee hoon at my parents's house for father's celebration.I am grateful to my father who always helped us alot whenever we need his help.We appreciate his love for us despite being too strict with us :) He's great father and grandpa!
By the way,my brother in law,Patrick "complained" that all the fathers never receive nice handmade gifts by their children and not fair to them but mothers always receive nice handmade crafts by their kids.Well,Father's day falls on wrong date/month which starts on school holiday concidentally.That's why all the children did not have any chance to make father's day cards for their fathers when their teachers usually ask them to.
helped Kazu to make small gift for his daddy to cut colour papers only while he pasted them and then drew it himself.
Wow,I did not know my elder niece,Jiselle quickly grabbed her favourite strawberry and ate it once cut the cake.ha...
Finally,my brother became a father already for 4 months now-Welcome to father's club.His baby son was sleeping at wrong time :)

ERP rates increase from next month
Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) charges at four areas will increase by S$1 from November 1.
The increase is part of the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) quarterly review of ERP-priced roads and expressways.
Motorists will have to pay S$4 from 8.30am to 9am at the gantries at the East Coast Parkway (ECP) at Fort Road and the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway slip road.
Those travelling westbound on the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) near Kallang Bahru from 7.30am to 8am will have to pay S$1.
Charges at the Central Business District and Bugis-Marina Centre cordon on weekdays from 6.30pm to 7pm will be S$3.
At the Orchard cordon, charges for weekdays from 6.30pm to 7pm and Saturdays from 6.30pm to 8pm will increase by S$1 to S$2.
Motorists Yahoo! Singapore spoke to were shocked by the sudden increase.
“I don’t think increasing the ERP charges will help ease congestion on the road. LTA should get feedback from motorists before deciding to raise the rates,” said HR executive Karen Ng, 28.
Added delivery driver Mohd Ismail, 57, “The traffic isn’t very heavy in the morning at the KPE slip road so I am puzzled as to why they increase it to S$4 there.”
According to LTA, the next ERP review will take place next month for the December school holidays.
