Your right ksl, I know a colleague who is paying 3000 sgd pm for a 3 bedroom bhk hdb (new style upgraded hdb with only 2 units per floor).ksl wrote:You would be surprised how fast rents are rising in HDB tooFaeLLe wrote:Welcome to Singapore I suggest you consider a hdb far away from the city?
There's the thing though, landlords in Singapore who are renting condos know that their main market is foreign expats who have a limited time to find somewhere to live when they arrive (typically between 2-4 weeks) and jack up the prices accordingly knowing that there are enough people who will pay it not because they think it's good value but because they don't have much other choiceJR8 wrote:JayCee wrote:2 moreMad Scientist wrote:Two words

Greedy landlords!
I not sure why some people think a vendor should take less than the market is willing to pay
Interesting. I wasn't aware of the acceptance of voids in SG. One of the key mantras for the more experienced UK landlord is 'Voids kill', i.e. it is better to have a place let at a price lower than you had hoped for, than to have it sitting empty.JayCee wrote:There's the thing though, landlords in Singapore who are renting condos know that their main market is foreign expats who have a limited time to find somewhere to live when they arrive (typically between 2-4 weeks) and jack up the prices accordingly knowing that there are enough people who will pay it not because they think it's good value but because they don't have much other choiceJR8 wrote:JayCee wrote: 2 more

The funniest thing is that some are actually prepared to let their places sit empty for months until they find someone who will pay the inflated prices.
I can't speak for HDBs, but I wouldn't be surprised if similar happens there.
