All i can say is be very patient..i have been searching for a unit for nearly 2 years...from being engaged to now wife going to give birth. Now owners are willing to lower their cash portion.
Only recently found a unit which met our criteria. A rare corner EM on the top floor,unblock,renovated,huge sqm ard 160,near amenities & near simei & tamp mrt...cov ard 25k,val 450..val bit exceed our budget but tinkin of the free nanny care (since inlaw stay 5mins walk away),free meals etc we agreed. Owner wanted 95k when we 1st enquired...really wonder how i managed to slash it to 25k & agent commision 0.5%.Think can slash lower la but seller was very nice.
Now i feel property market swaying towards the buyers as no more en blocs to disturb us.covs are dropping, but valuation increase quite a bit. a few units agents which we viewed before..called or sms me to tell me so & so dropping their cov, so ask me to make an offer.
These agents are those which snubbed me wen i offered them higher few months back..surprised the unit still on market..now my turn to snub them back..
Oh that good for the agent commission is 0.5%.
