The developments have just begun and most of them are in their initial development stages.

Developers of Margaret Ville

There were many developers competing to acquire the site where the new Margaret drive condo is being developed during the open public tender process. Towards the end of 2016, the highest winning bidder was awarded with the land site. The area is situated along Margaret Drive which lies within the vicinity of the Queenstown planning area. MCL land was the highest bidder, winning this 99-year leasehold site and having the full rights of developing the vacant land.

It is no secret why 14 huge companies antagonistically vied for this piece of land as there are several strategic reasons that make the land a rare and prime property going forward. When it is fully developed as a residential area, Margaret Ville would have a strategic position that will enable the residents to easily and conveniently access the nearby diverse hospitality vents.

MCL land has been in the real estate development industry for more than five decades which has earned them their irrefutable reputation and excellent track records.

Singapore Buyer’s Stamp Duty May Elevate the Prices of New Condo Development in 45 Amber Road

egappropertyNew Developments, Things to Know

Due to the recent outline for a rate hike of the Buyer’s Stamp Duty, this may however affect developer’s prices for new condo developments in the future. The developer pays a significant premium to develop on residential sites as the need for newer developed condo property rises but; Are these premiums in need of a hike in higher price rate? Should developers pay more for new condo projects that are underway and coming in the near future?

While it’s certain due to the condo real-estate market, the hikes are inevitably going to take place in order to keep the economy stable. However, it’s not much clarity as to why developers should pay more in premium property prices. For developers of newly developed condo buildings like the Amber 45 condo building located at 45 Amber Road, this means it will force a slight increase in site purchases for future condo building sites. As uncertain as it is, it may even elevate the buying price of new condo units.

Friction in transactions for Singapore condos

The buyer’s stamp duty will certainly cause some friction in transaction volumes throughout the Singapore real-estate market. With potential buyers proving that they are not really ready for the prospect of elevated realty prices, these price hikes are inevitable, especially, if developers have to pay more premium prices for their new developments. With friction inevitability, a clarifying glimpse of the market for Singapore condos may show why buyer are still sensitive to the initial price hike of private condo property.

With the new development condo property market in the earliest stages of recovery from its past 15 quarter decline, the optimism of potential buyers is still growing after the optimism decline for the real-estate market. Although Singapore real-estate prices are considered higher than average property prices, these prices are still within affordable range compared to other areas with luxury real-estate. As the market buyer’s stamp duty rises the sales momentum may take a few years or more before it strengthens the real estate market for new condo developments.

How to keep the friction down for Amber 45 Condo

It’s simple to give all the right methods and strategies for keeping friction down for Amber 45 condo. One method and/or strategy would be to leave the buyer’s duty stamp right where it is and not even think of a hike, until there is more clarity of why the rate hike should be made. The friction will most likely slow the market growth, even though it’s on an upturn. Potential buyers will move slower to purchase newly developed condo properties, due to the buyer’s stamp price.

Why will people be slower to purchase newly developed condo property? Simple to answer, they will have to pay higher prices for their condo units as their BSD rises and higher because developers BSD rises. To avoid this, keep the BSD at the same rate for maybe 3 more year’s time, when it will be easy to understand why it should be risen. Keeping potential buyer active now instead of slowing them down will help to get the real-estate market to grow faster before the 3 years expect market growth strength time is up.
