Posted by Jayson Ang on March 23, 2024

Buying a property in Singapore can be a daunting task, especially for first-time buyers. It is important to have a reliable and knowledgeable real estate agent to guide you through the process. However, not all agents are created equal. To ensure that you have a successful and stress-free buying experience, it is important to ask your agent the right questions.

In this post, we will discuss the five most important questions you should ask your real estate agent when buying a property in Singapore.

What is the current market value of the property?Knowing the current market value of the property is critical in determining whether the property is priced correctly and whether it’s worth the investment. Your agent can provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), which compares the property’s features and location with similar properties in the area to determine its value. The CMA can give you a clear picture of the property’s market value and help you make an informed decision.
Are there any issues or concerns with the property? It’s essential to identify any potential issues or concerns with the property upfront, such as structural issues or potential maintenance concerns. Your agent can arrange for a home inspection and review the inspection report with you, highlighting any concerns or potential problems that may impact your decision.
How long has the property been on the market, and why? Understanding how long the property has been on the market and why can give you a sense of the property’s demand and whether the seller is willing to negotiate on price or terms. Your agent can provide insights into the property’s history, including any price reductions or changes, and can also give you a sense of the current market conditions and trends.
What are the financing options available for this property? Your agent can advise you on the best financing options available for the property, including mortgage rates and loan options. They can also help you connect with lenders and mortgage brokers to secure financing for the property, ensuring you have all the information you need to make a sound financial decision.
Are there any upcoming developments in the area that may impact the property value? Knowing if there are any major developments or projects planned in the area that could potentially affect the property’s value in the future is critical. Your agent can provide insights into the local market and any upcoming changes that may impact your investment, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the property’s potential value over time.

By asking these five questions, you can work with your real estate agent to make an informed decision when buying a property in Singapore. Your agent can provide valuable insights into the local market and help you navigate the buying process with confidence.
