No longer are buyers limiting their sights to properties in familiar districts or estates. They are now willing to move from one end of the island to another if the draw of a property and its potential value in appreciation is strong enough.
This could be certainly be seen from the weekend turnout at the High Park Residences launch. Situated in Sengkang, a district only a few were willing to move to a decade ago, the Fernvale Road show suite of this latest mixed-use development in Sengkang was swarmed with interested buyers from all over Singapore; a sign that buyers are now more savvy about property investment and keen on purchasing properties with long-term goals in mind.
Previously monopolised by public housing, Sengkang is slowly rising up as a popular new town with young couples and families. Private condominiums have also entered the district with gusto and buyers are snapping up units at resale and new private apartments in the area. Some of the properties in the area include Riverbank, La Fiesta and Rivertrees Residences.
High Park Residences will boast a mix of commercial, recreational and residential units. Out of their 1,390 units, 1,100 have been sold, with all the one-plus-study, bungalow and commercial units snapped up. With the Thanggam LRT station and Seletar Mall nearby, it’s no wonder this new kid on the block was popular with buyers.
