Paying Leasehold for a Freehold

July 1, 2024

Freehold properties have always been a crowd favourite given that owners of such properties don’t ever have to worry about lease decay. It also presents homeowners the luxury of leaving behind a legacy to future generations.

Firstly, why are freehold properties good to go into right now? It is due to the price gap between a 99-year leasehold and freehold is very narrow. It goes to show that the freehold market has yet to go through a price adjustment, hence getting one now is the perfect time.

As we can see above, the price of a 99-year leasehold in the RCR ranges between $2,500 to $2,750.

And if you had the chance to get a FREEHOLD property in the RCR that starts from $2,600, would that not be considered a safe bet? Presenting The Arcady at Boon Keng, a new launch that is just mere 5 minutes away from the Boon Keng MRT station.

Lastly, if we were to take a look at the growth in terms of prices of freehold and leasehold properties in the RCR, we can see that freehold properties actually outperformed the leasehold ones.
