Brilliant.......
Thanks for the advice.
So far the potential tenants that view the unit were local. Try to arrange viewing in the morning but most cannot make it. The sun will shine directly into the unit when around 3 pm.
Seems like the rental market has slowed down. The offer was low too.
By the way, which month has north west wind?

u can save yr efforts in coaxing ppl to view in morning/nite time cos Im sure many ppl r like me, who specifically arrange to view ard 3-5pm :D
since u cannot prevent west sun busters from exposing yr weakness, wat u can do is try to arrange it at say 2-3pm. the intensity of the heat is not so bad as compared to say 4-5pm.

its more windy around nov-feb lor ...

if not near mrt, quite hard to fetch a gd price. I wun be surprised if a near mrt unit in ocr fetched a better price than yrs.
yield low if price bought too high? TA can be renewed is equivalent to not constant rental u are getting...restriction inflow of foreigners and so many release of new condo and TOP...rental not very good for those location not so convenient as would be expected..if interest rate goes up, bought at high price would have problem getting enough rental to serve outgoing loan....or in the first place can it be rented if demand remains constant or down while supply up? Deep pockets can hold while leave units empty...those cannot tahan will sell...expect to sell higher and earn a good profit at that time? anyone guess....:rolleyes:

Along Upper Paya Lebar Road? Is it The Vue?

I heard from the agent that 1 unit accepted $2,200 partial furnished.
Mine no offer yet. :mad:

Yes, you are right. Do you own any unit there?

the 1 unit accepted got west sun?
rental rates in this serangoon area not high, I noticed.
2.2k seems quite low for a 1 bedder condo. Mostly I heard is at least a $2.5k.

Yes, agreed. I expected at least $2.4K for partial furnished. That unit spoil market liao.
Not sure which facing, agent didn't reveal.

No. I went to view it at the VVIP launch about 2 years back ;)
$2.2k is quite decent for that area. Try engaging more agents to market your unit.

mayb the owner urgently nid to rent it out tats y willing to accept a lower than market rate.
juz now I checked other agents advertising for $2.7k. as long as the remaining owners dun spoil the market, I believe u shd not hv a prob getting 2.4k-2.5k.
juz be patient ;)
New Virgin unit for $2.2k is very low. When someone offer low u no need to follow them.

precisely.
my fwen rented out his 1 bedder at west coast. very far fm mrt (at least 15mins) but is getting $3.5k under corporate lease.
regardless how bad facing/location a unit is, a condo is still a condo; there is a minimum amt as long as owners r not desperate :D
To TS, try not to wait too long. 见好就收。
Why? Your competitor Suites @ Paya Lebar topping soon.

If u had paid $600k or below, u hv made a safe buy. Gross yield for purchase px of $600k n rental of $2500 (assuming) is 5%. Nett yield minus outgoings is 4+%.
420 Sqft. 1 proper bedroom.

Maybe you can share some pics on your rental properties?
I am sure some tenants are ok with west facing ;)
Not too long ago I was showing this angmoh lady my unit, telling her I have a NS facing with no west sun. She told me she loves sun tanning and prefers west facing unit :doh:
Having west sun also means you have sunset view .... 夕阳无限好，只是近黄昏

Don't worry too much. Just draw the curtains and turn on the air-con when viewing. I've seen your condo floorplan. It's quite nice and livable.
Not sure whether the news from your agent about the 2.2K rent reliable or not.

Yes, already doing that. Intend to install sunshade to assure the tenant that the sun issue can be solved.

Ts,
Can spend on double layer curtains and also cushion bright sunlights by painting darker shades in bedroom. Of cos switcing aircon & putting up so fresh scent of air purifier helps soothes the viewing too :D

I personally think that most singaporeans prefer a east facing unit. Say u give a potential singaporean tenant a choice of 2 units... one is east facing the other is west facing. same floor, same price, same layout, same everything. He will pick the east facing one, for sure.
in singapore, when its hot, its HOT. unless u turn on the aircon 100% of the time, its gonna be hot living at home. and its not 1 hour/day of heat. it's an ENTIRE afternoon of west sun, day in day out, for as long as u live in that house. u can have a million fans in ur home but its not gonna work. the heat stays trapped in the concrete walls and doesnt stop radiating heat even after the sun goes down.

Thank you guys for your sharing. I managed to rent out at more than $2.3k to a foreigner.
This prove that western facing is not really a big issue after all.
