5 Cons of Buying a New Development

Posted by Jayson Ang on March 4, 2024

Luxury properties in Districts 9 and 10 of Singapore are highly coveted, and for good reason. From stunning views and prime locations, to top-notch amenities and an affluent lifestyle, there are many reasons to consider investing in a luxury property in these districts. However, when it comes to choosing between a new development and a resale, there are pros and cons to consider. In today’s episode, we’ll delve into the five key cons of buying a new development in Districts 9 and 10, to help you make an informed decision.

  1. Higher Prices: One of the main cons of buying a new development is that these properties are often priced higher than resale properties. This can make it difficult for buyers to get a good deal, as they are paying more for a property that has yet to be built. In addition, new developments are often priced based on location and other factors that may not be known until the development is completed.
  2. Longer Wait Time: Another downside of buying a new development is that it can take several years for the development to be completed. This can be a long wait for buyers who are eager to move into their new home, and it can also be difficult for buyers to plan for the future when they are unsure of when their property will be ready.
  3. Uncertainty: One of the biggest risks of buying a new development is the uncertainty that comes with it. New developments may not live up to their promises, and buyers may find that they have made a poor investment. This can be particularly true if the development is not completed on time or if the property is not finished to the standards that were promised.
  4. Hidden Costs: When buying a new development, there may be additional costs involved that are not immediately obvious. For example, buyers may be required to pay higher maintenance fees, which can add up over time.
  5. Not Being to See Actual Unit: Choosing a unit is entirely based on the floor plans and brochures on paper. For some people, it may be difficult to imagine the feel of what they are buying. But thankfully, there are virtual tour technology that helps to bridge up the game

Hello, 大家好!

今天在五新房产我们要跟你分享在新加坡购买新开发项目的 5 个缺点。

1. 价格较高:这些新的房产的价格通常高于转售房产。 这可能使买家很难获得一笔好交易,因为他们为尚未建造的房产支付了更多费用。 此外,新开发项目通常根据位置和其他因素定价,这些因素在开发完成之前可能是未知的。

2. 等待时间更长:购买新开发项目的另一个缺点是开发项目可能需要数年时间才能完成。 对于急于搬进新家的购房者来说,这可能是一个漫长的等待,而且购房者在不确定他们的房产何时可以准备好时也很难为未来做计划。

3. 不确定性:购买新开发项目的最大风险之一是随之而来的不确定性。 新开发项目可能无法兑现承诺,买家可能会发现他们的投资很糟糕。 如果开发没有按时完成,或者如果房产没有按照承诺的标准完成,情况尤其如此。

4. 隐性成本:购买新开发项目时,可能会涉及并非立即显而易见的额外成本。 例如,买家可能需要支付更高的维护费用,这些费用会随着时间的推移而增加。

5. 看不到实际住房单位:选择单位全基于平面图和纸上的宣传册。 对于某些人来说,可能难以想象他们购买商品时的感觉。 但值得庆幸的是,有虚拟化技术来帮购买者参观单位。
