1.19 million for a flat with such crap condition? In your dreams dude! The cost to renovate the whole damn flat would be almost a third of that.
Yes the freelance photographer Philip. He's clearly deluded.
The guy wanted to sell for over a million but I love when she asked how much did he bought it and her eyes lit up when he said 350k
See Patrick's house and I want to faint... Agent don't even bother to do staging... For a deal that requires luck...
Owner does not even bother to clean or tidy up the place for filming!
Cos all requires is luck lah! 😂😉
He still lives there and look at the amount of things he has how to do staging.
All I can say to those who spend so much is, thank you for supporting our economy.
Q:What is your professional opinion? Ans:"need luck".How professional!
Ahahahaha
I think u are missing the point. From his professional opinion, he thinks there is no guarantee or in other words, the chances are Low hence "luck". Professional does not equal fortune teller.
His answer is based on his professiona experience
Phillip is a hoarder
jrukawa11 I’m more surprised by his absolute lack of any taste.
Let’s be real... a property that cost $1million is suppose to be a dream house.. might as well buy a villa in some other country.
So long there are such buyers, there will always b such demand. Like HK.
Remember, million dollar HDB flats are not the norm. Not everyone has to stay in the city/city fringe, a HDB flat far from the city wouldn't cost a million dollars. So these outliers wouldn't affect your average home buyers.
Did u watch the show about the president Harold Holt disappearing?
Thing is 10+ years ago city fringe units only cost 300k, and far away areas less than 100k. It is still shitty for people looking to buy house as their buying power is much lesser now.
@@Sturmbannfuhrer2 still can find good deals. Just need to be patient and keep searching. I did
It’s all about the location! A 3 room hdb flat in Holland Village can buy you a 5 room flat in Sembawang!!
I’d rather live in a jumbo flat than living in a smaller space in the city center 😭😭
big question: did philip ever manage to sell his flat at 1.19mil? lol
I hope not
@@matachendra5490 yes, same here. silly guy.
Due to 2 reasons: HSBC flats are built better or even then pre one ; pre property getting more expensive. So alternative is go for better built hub !
I know that lady Leng from Temasek Sec 😂😂😂. Great job!
Someone lied to Phillip several times
Guess who is the more intelligent lady? The one who bought the million dollar flat so she can build an island kitchen or the lady who did a careful calculation of the financial expenses involved?
Thank you for not driving because plenty out there still can't drive. Really can't drive.
He very confident eh. I wonder if this Philip have sold his unit. Jln Membina is crap unit. Super small. 8 years ago I stay at Kim Tian Rd 4 room.flat. Low floor I sold the unit at 680k. My home not like Philip very nicely renovated. Bought over by the SPR. Though Kim Tian alot of convenience, it is really crap for young family. Difficult to get childcare, primary school competitive at that time. Real glad I moved.
Old flats, apartments or even condominiums are larger in size. The demand is also high for such housings. Thus the price rise as well.
lease hold 99 yrs hdb 5 room flat, spacious and good location in holland v
vs
sengkang condo, shoebox size, also leasehold.
I take the hdb any day, thank you very much
Tts why u are in the category of "buy with emotion".both will depreciate but the condo will go slower. Condos can sell to foreigners. They got money and wants the facilities n private/atas-ness.
If u buy big hdb but less than 50yr left u confirm loogi. Unless u v sure u will die b4 lease run out or gov force acquisition for redevelopment.not taking into acct of things like kids etc...
@@RonLarhz buying a property would be just for staying in, and comfort is the most impt factor. I wouldn't buy a residential property for investment in singapore anymore. If you can get a yield of 2-3% (assuming a 100% tenancy turnover rate), you're considered fortunate already. And really no point buying property for estate purposes (unless its freehold).
These days, i can put 200k into a insurance policy, when im gone my beneficiaries get a guaranteed 2mil. No property/investment can beat that for estate planning
@@RonLarhz you in the category of 'forever poor'
@@TToTToTT
Sure bo? Gt such gd lobang? Which insurance?what plan?fine prints?
@@RonLarhz its called a universal life policy. A few banks distribute them or u can get them straight from the insurer via your agent
Wasn't HDB set up for the not so rich? Funny how it costs 1 million now
probably means 1mil is no kick to the average singaporean now.
If u bought from govt it's what 500,000. You as a citizen earn the bto, sell to the a PR, so?
@@MrBoliao98 those new BTOs with a potential for a future 1 mil sale price is already 15x-20x oversubscribed as seen in August. Might as well call it a lottery. So your example is not applicable to the majority of SGreans here.
It is set up for the rich and for those who can afford once it is in the resale market.
Did he calculate correctly for HDB property tax ?
That Jalan membina flat interior 😱😱😱😱😱😱...... Thought being photographer has better taste..😕. Seriously, the seller and agent are craps. The million dollar opposite at Boon Tiong Rd is only 5 years old
Definitely alot better than condominium. I can see a competition between the two.
The HDB gives you good location, view and spaciousness,
Condominium on the other hand give you more security and amenities but the living area is small
Could listen to Diana Ser talk all day
I'm renting a place right now, in England but I'm still struggling to afford that, prices are getting higher. It's sad because if you see more people are living on the streets because of it. I'm working stupid hours just to afford it, & I don't get a social life at all. And yes I'm on minimal wage, only getting £6.15 on hour.
Ki Suh-Hyung isn’t it £7.70?
@@ammelinecool no I get £6.15 an hour
Oh I see I just checked the rates. Completely forgot it’s also based on age. I was fine with my job at £7.70 per hour. Are you living in London by any chance?
@@ammelinecool yeah, it's really not a good amount. And no more near Yorkshire
1:14 is that Batam Island?
Are you sure the property valuation can fetch such price?
It's funny how the electricity in this country is almost as picking a cell phone provider.
Diana Ser has this intense look whenever she's interviewing someone. Chill lady!
Take your own advice and chill you!
Ibrahim Bin Mahfuz agree haha
Many don't know how much in interest they will be paying. Very well educated
Continue this GREED and surely the future generations will SUFFER. carry on
I think mostly all the "new" citizens buying up these units.
Yup all come here dump cash, that's how prices shot up many folds
It’s happening all over the world. My country, England. Also Canada, USA, Australia and NZ; and that’s just a few examples. I can’t afford to live in my own country, because I don’t earn enough money to live there on my pension. The rich and ultra-rich emigrate and price the locals out of their own homes, towns, cities and like in my case, even their own countries.
@@OzzieOzzieOzzieOyOyOy I know, I'm renting a place right now, but I'm still struggling to afford that, prices are getting higher. It's sad because if you see more people are living on the streets because of it. I'm working stupid hours just to afford it, and I don't get a social life at all. And yes I'm on minimal wage, only getting £6.15 on hour.
@@atlanta9286 Damn, I didn’t realize the minimum wage was that bad. I’m so sorry. Best of luck to you.
It’s ridiculous, isn’t it? There are so many people like you, barely scraping by. People like me, forced to live abroad. A ton of homeless people. The charities focus on international interests instead of at home. The rich only get richer, and the rest of us are fucked.
@@OzzieOzzieOzzieOyOyOy yep pretty much, once people become rich, some just don't seem to care about the people that have to so damn hard just to make a living. From paying my bills & rent I'm only left with about £20-30 to pay for food and stuff, it's become that tough I'm now saving money which is good, but it means I can't really buy anything for the house. I hate this world that we're living in. I bet prices will increase through years time as well. Living in today's society is a really struggle unless you have money or a good qualification then your fucked........
just so you know, breakeven is about 20% above purchase price after u consider interest paid and all the misc fees. so if u buy a 1mil HDB flat, your breakeven is 1.2m. Think about that! will you be able to sell your HDB at 1.3-1.5? and even if you do 10 years later, 200k over 10 years = 20k a year = 2% annualised returns. Congrats! you have just barely beat inflation!
i think the price of convenience is real. Amenities and lesser commune times are prices that people willing to fork out for.
The walls are thin thus promoting fights between neighbors
I'm not sure if they're talking of US or Singapore dollar?
1 year later, it's time to forget about new highs as the terrible economic conditions are set to bring housing prices back down to 2008-2009 lows.
Live is city centre bcos traveling from outskirts to town is a killer.
Why not just give each person (including children) 1.5 ares (15m × 15m) of land? This can be sections of floors in buildings too. The landowner could then build a house on their own dime (including interior non-bearing walls and ceiling of towers), or move in existing one.
Towers can have large windows (curtain-glass) grass and streets (hallway), so building can be just like building on open land.
what is firerets?
Doesnt the news spell out acronyms, even if a guest says it? Would be nice for a refresher on how the housing market works.
the bigger clown is the person who is willing to pay 1.19 mil for Phillip's flat lol
LOLOL 😂😂😂 SO TRUE
When a professional agent mentions *Luck* , one should already know how it all is going to end 😉
agent know nothing about price. their main job is to get sellers to sell and buyers to buy. never trust what they say. nothing more than powerful sales techniques just trying to close deals.
@@YokNg It's all abt negotiation skills...if agent is able to convince buyer or seller that's gd enough
Kimak~ the guy still got the cheek to sell his birds' nest at 1mil. Sialahhh.. He think he's king philip the second or what?!
What's driving up the prices of HDB resale flats? Greed.
Property price go up , salary still same :(
If its public housing, shouldn't the rent/mortgage be based on income? In other words, if I earn $2000 per month, shouldn't I pay $600 per month (30% of income)? How can a person making $500 per month afford $700 rent (or healthcare premium in the US)?
@@user-nf9xc7ww7m with ideas like that, I think you would be happy in a socialist country like venezuela, cuba or north korea
@@bsolutions525
Do you support social security? You communist! Go back to moscow 😋
Seriously, though. In many developed democracies, the ability to pay is taken into consideration for many things where people don't really have a choice - they need them. Are you really gonna shop around for a cardiologist with the cheapest price tag while you are dying? And I'd hardly call canada, UK, Sweden, etc north Korea or Venezuela.
Is a good thing a bad things coz your condo or flats could earn a huge amount and u could buy a house which is not that ex but could fetch you higher prices than what u bought.
Greed simply takes over when theres no control.
Diana Ser is ah beng racer? her Honda got so many gauges. I think got Nitros connected
this is HDB flat? for a public housing, this is so nice!
location mah...its nearer to CBD...
All stakeholders in this industry continue to do this thing and later see what happens. Better then gambling
Diana Ser is beautiful on the inside and outside.
Wow , 1 million dollars flat . That's really expensive . For me i love mini homes . Limited my own stuff keeping so that i don't over keep things .
You get more house there for a million then you get in California
Well not really. With $1M in California, even in Los Angeles, you can get a landed property with a big land (3500-5000ft2). The problem with California is not really the psf price. But that zoning laws are too restrictive that the average size for a 1BR condo is 750ft2, which is too big compared to Singapore’s average 500ft2. So the problem in California is more towards zoning laws compared to Singapore’s expensive land price. You get much better value in California, but you can’t really find a small property to make it affordable. Just my opinion.
The flat is disgusting .. what is with the ceiling of the house omg ... how much money u need to spend to get rid of the old creepy interior. And he is asking for how much?? this guy needs to wake up from his greedy dream.
Iirc Dont actually buy, you lease for 99 years. In other words, the value is lost as you cant pass to children (with them selling as need be).
When they say a 1 million dollars are referring to u.s. or what currency are they foreign too?.
I was gonna say, if S$1 million = $100,000 then not so bad 😉😁
After 99years lease...😅$1M become $0cents...🤣
Must buy as long as you like it. Do not think
Not worth it, with Million dollar price tag, i will buy a new one or just go across the causeway for much better deal. You are more than welcome to purchase them if you like.
So, have you bought your MY property yet? I’m guessing - no?
Then coronavirus says hi and now you stuck
This is just madness.
A house is an extension of oneself, that I can understand. But a 99yrs lease HDB flat for a million....unless u really love that tiny expiring space and happily to waste a million.
Edna from The Incredibles!
Hope the buyers get 30 years loans. That's the smart way to get trapped financially
Ahhh, in the end is an advertising for SWITCH. No free view indeed. #clickbait
Too many people with access to easy credit and are willing to overpay....
Its location
Aye u again
Do not think just please buy
No wonder 4D and TOTO queue getting longer.
In exchange for extremely mental financial stress, I think it's worth it.
Yes let emotions do the work
These buyers will hope for population 10million in order to be able to sell higher
The real cash after deduction ????????
Mostly due to cash rich en bloc sellers.
Phillip needs to see a doctor
I thought its the FTs that are driving up the property prices? Some Singaporeans are really well off.
Foreigners cannot buy HDB! Unless one of the couple is citizen
@@lcy3877 two PR also can buy resale HDB.....
@@vnc81 really? I asked my parents before they say need to have at least one citizen (they're both Singaporean) :0!! What about new flats? But anyways most of my friends whose both parents are non citizens live in condo
@@lcy3877 Only resale. Two PR can't purchase new HDB. Anyway the video is about resale flats crossing 1 million dollars.
Willing buyer willing seller....why not?!
They can say it's worth 5million, doesn't mean people pay for it
Still managed by taiko SPgroup, stupiak isn’t it
The issue here is who are these BUYERS
Money makes the world go round and round and round
I ve seen thing happen n its not good🙄😒
Demand and supply and thinking of people's mind is in the end can make CASH MONEY A LOT A NOT
million dollar apt? I wonder how the working classes live there
Eventually $0
my bloody HDB flat only worth less than 1/3 of million...
$1 million we all dun hv that kind of cash.
Hdb is getting out of reach for the young. Soon there will be accumulation of frustration
renter generation~
Ask the next door neighbours left,right,one level up n down..can fetch $1million?
Only 5 years old, high floor, good view hdb flat is able to sell over a million !
Haha. Agent sell agent mark up price ah? Defeat the purpose of a HDB flats alrdy,affordable housing. Seller better hold till they die 😂
the million dollar bubble gona pop soon
I never understand why single SPR are not allowed to purchase resale HDB, that’s a discrimination for minority group population are single, divorced, widowed. Government using housing policy to boost population growth 🤦
Yes, govt is very unfair to singles, divorced, widowed, and also senior citizens by imposing so many restrictions on them to buy BTO.
So live within one's means is the cure
Why most of the wife want an island kitchen? Even if they can’t afford it
I stayed in Toh Guan Road at 21 storey. 5 rooms HDB flats ,if someone can pay over 1.2 million , sell it !
9:04 mins. Typical
I but my present house without thinking selling it next time. I will pass it to my children. I think many home buyers do think it that way.
Sooner or later Singapore will be like Hong Kong.
Developed hong kong
Cruelty to citizens.
Time to wait for the property to crash, then when bottom low then buy
