Reading the Bukit Merah Market
Let's be honest about Bukit Merah: you are paying a premium, and you know it. The question is what you get for it. Here it's location and everything that's already built, not lease. A lot of the stock dates to the 1970s to 90s, so check remaining lease like a hawk. Below 60 years, CPF usage and bank loan quantum both start getting clipped, and the discount for a short lease never fully compensates you. Our take: the same money buys a bigger flat in a non-mature town, so only pay this premium if the location genuinely changes your daily life.
Right now the market here is telling two stories at once. 5 room flats are up 3.4% year-on-year while 2 room flats are down 6.5%. When sizes diverge like this it's usually local supply, not sentiment: one size is scarce, the other isn't. Don't read a town-wide trend into it.
