Thanks for the enlightenment. I have a better idea now.Originally Posted by Wild FalconThe irony is rental yields is actually the WORST in the prime districts. When you look at the rental, one must always divide the rental against the capital value you pay for the property. I think Hillview rental yields is not great now mainly because it has poor transportation and only those tenants who drive (which is not many) will rent such a place. Most of the tenants in my development actually owns cars. But with the completion of the MRT, rental demand will definitely go up. The agent is only speaking from his perspective NOW, but remember, investing is always about the FUTURE. Whether a place has potential compared to another place which is fully developed. If you notice, a lot of popular condo launches are near EXISTING MRT stations, e.g. Jurong and Tanah Merah because people only see the situation now. As to whether it's better to buy a private property amongst HDB flats like Jurong so that it is more rare, it is up to the individual. The beauty with staying in an exclusive private estate is it feels safer and there are less trespassers who come and use your facilities because all your neighbouring condos all have their swimming pools and tennis courts and no one will bother to use your facilities. I know condos surrounded by HDB always have problems.
