Whether you can afford the condominium or not, buying a
condominium under construction can be a good way to gradually
put up the cash for buying a property.
Smoothing out Funding for a Private property
In the case where you have the earning capacity, but you will need
some time to recover after the initial 20% downpayment. The
Singapore home loan installment will be lesser at the earlier stages,
this enables you to save up and build up your cash reserves as there
may be many other costs associated with owning a private property.
If you are Singapore property investor, if your view is that the property
market will pick up in a few years, buying a property under construction is
similar to buying shares on “Contra”, except that this “contra” gives you
several years of holding “option”.
Many speculators like this feature which gives them the chance to finance
a property cheaply and flip the property for a profit.
Genuine Home Buyers can get burnt buying a Property Under Construction
Due to the ease of financing, holding on to a Building under construction during the early
stages can be rather cheap. This means that speculators can easily create a squeeze on the prices bidding up the prices for genuine buyers.
This means that such buyers will tend to end up paying a higher price.
How to profit from Property Under Construction?
Due to the presence of speculators, when the pressure mounts and when they cannot turn a
profit flipping the property and cannot lease the property out and starts to default. A lot of these speculations turned out to be
property agents themselves!
You can then stand on the side lines to punish these greedy speculators and pick up the properties cheaply.
