Heed the 6th Year Mark
Executive Condominiums (ECs) are treated as government housing at the start, whereby buyers are subject to similar conditions as HDB estates such as family nucleus. Income ceiling is adjusted slightly higher at SGD12,000 compared to SGD10,000. Once purchased, the unit must be held and stayed in within a 5-year MOP period. At the start of the 6th year, eligibility conditions become more relaxed: buyers need not form a family nucleus to buy an EC from the resale market and purchasing power falls exclusively to Singaporeans and PRs. However, buyers will not be eligible for CPF Housing Grants as it will be treated as private housing. Based on the past analysis of trends on ECs, selling prices were found to rise in tandem with private condominium resale prices after the 10th-year mark is crossed. So, are there any discrepancies between EC resale prices verses private condos after the 5th year? Currently, there are eight projects on the market, which are still within the 6th10th year mark. We find that in certain ECs, prices appear to have already caught up to private resale prices in their vicinity; yet, there are still some opportunities for eligible buyers. For example, units above 1,500sq ft appear to be sold at a steeper discount than smaller units. We highlight three fairly new projects in the resale market.

Loyang Valley that TOP in 1985 is selling at a discount of only 8% discount compared to Esparis. The newly-launched EC, Watercolours, is selling at a premium of only 4% to the older EC.

& QUINTET
Bright side of ECs for buyers. The Quintet has fared well against private condos located right next to its plot. In fact, all three plots, Regent Grove, Windermere and Quintet, are trading within a similar price range with a 510% difference among one another. We also find that there are still hidden gems in ECs larger units (>1,800 sq ft) that are found to command prices below SGD600 psf.
