Navigating the property market alone might seem like a savvy way to save on agent fees—funds that could be redirected toward furnishing your new home. But is bypassing a real estate consultant truly in your best interest? Let’s delve into why partnering with professionals like David & Audrie can be a game-changer in your property journey.
You’ve lived here for years. You know how the evening sun pours into your living room. You know which window catches the morning breeze. You’ve chosen every light fixture, every piece of furniture, every detail. So when it comes time to sell your home, it’s only natural to think: “I can present my house better than any agent can. I’ve lived here — they’ve only visited twice.”
And truthfully? You’re not wrong.
There’s no denying the buzz around One Marina Gardens. Located in the heart of the Marina South transformation, it’s positioned as the crown jewel of a brand-new waterfront district — the first mover in an area that’s expected to become the next Bayfront lifestyle node. But as excitement brews and prices start at around $2,800 psf, we’ve been asked a lot lately:
“ Is this a good short-term investment? Can I profit in 3–8 years?” Our honest answer?
It’s one of the most common — and stressful — questions homeowners ask when they’re ready to upgrade or rightsize:
“Should I sell my current home first, or buy my next property first?”
The fear is real on both sides.
• What if I sell first and can’t find a place I love in time?
• What if I buy first and end up stuck with two mortgages?
You’re not alone — many Singaporeans face this exact pressure. And the truth is, there’s no fixed right or wrong. But if you ask David & Audrie, after years of walking with countless families through this journey…
Shermain and Kenneth are no strangers to strategic property moves.
Like many Singaporean couples, they started with a BTO. Years later, they upgraded to an Executive Condominium (EC) in the North — a decision that rewarded them handsomely when their property appreciated in value.
When their EC reached MOP, and their income had taken a significant leap, they came to us with what seemed like the natural next step:
They had their eyes on a cluster house — more space, privacy, and landed living, without the hassle of maintaining a garden. It felt like the perfect solution.
But during our conversation, something unexpected came up.
You might be wondering…
What kind of property agents meet with sellers, do a full presentation — and then tell them not to sell?
That’s exactly what we did just two days ago.
It’s comforting to own a fully paid HDB—but is staying in it for the next 30 years truly the best use of your asset? In this post, David & Audrie dive into the real cost of staying put, the opportunity you might be missing, and how a fully paid flat could unlock greater financial freedom with the right strategy.
At 35 years old, with two toddlers and a fully-paid-up EC that met its MOP two years ago, this young couple seemed to be in a great place — stable home, stable income, and a combined monthly salary of $25,000.
But like many couples, they were at a crossroads..
Everyone is upgrading to a condo — we should do it too.
It is a common thought, especially when social media is filled with posts of beautiful showflat, sky pools, and brand new keys in hand. the dream of private property living is strong — and understandably so. Who wouldn’t want lifestyle facilities, greater prestige. and the promise of capital appreciation?
