so I will be relocating to Singapore very soon. The key question in my mind is that of accomodation.
Once my wife joins, I will need to rent a larger space or buy. Hypothetically, if one has saved c$200kSGD for a deposit on a $1m apt, may I ask the following questions:
1) What is your view of the Singapore property market? is it a good time to buy? (i dont want the views of property agents please

2) What are your suggestions for property purchases in the city fringe areas?(lavender, bugis etc) I am not planning to buy a car so it has to be close to an MRT and walking distance to at least an NTUC. I also dont mind established / older properties and am seeking at least a 2 bedder >750sqft, ideally freehold if possible. Before the forum tells me to look at ..sg, I have already done that but would like some idependent thoughts from senior guys in this forum.
3) As a corrollary, what developments are good rental prospects for say $3k Singapore a month and can do short term, say 6mth leases.
Many thanks
