Opinion on 2-room resale value

If your key concern is on the resale, then you can consider looking for those units close to MRT, and the blocks that may not be the whole block formed by 2-room flexi, sone block is a mixture with 3 rooms and 4 rooms. i personally think these are good advantages for resale in future. As for profit, i think no one will know if the price is going up or down after your MOP. Leave that to the Fate. Personally i think it is not a bad choice to buy a resale 2-room , as you keep your BTO chances for the future when you get married and use the first timer chances to apply for a bigger new flat.

Dear Anon,

​

It largely depends on whether you are looking to buy for own-stay or for capital gains in the future. If you don't plan to sell in the future, consider not stretching out your loan just to buy a 3-room or bigger and consider your finances.

​

If you are looking to sell in the future, and have considered your finances, look at the market and identify your exit strategy. Will there be a bigger demand for 3-room and above or 2-room? If there are more offers for your flat when you sell, you/your property agent will have the negotiating power to increase the price.

​

All the best!
