Sea View vs City View
District 14 (Geylang, Eunos) is not among the primary sea-facing (Districts 1-5, 15) or city skyline (Districts 9-11) corridors. However, high-floor premiums still apply, driven by factors such as greenery views, reservoir or park vistas, and reduced noise from road traffic at elevation.
In suburban and heartland districts, view premiums tend to be more moderate (typically 10-20%) but can spike for units facing nature reserves, reservoirs, or golf courses.
View Premium as Investment
High-floor units with premium views can be a sound investment strategy. In District 14, the average view premium of 0.6% suggests that buyers consistently value elevated positions.
Key considerations for view-premium investing:
- Resale value: High-floor units typically hold value better during market downturns, as view premiums tend to be sticky.
- Rental yield: Tenants pay a premium for views, improving gross yield on higher-floor units.
- Future obstruction risk: Check the URA Master Plan for nearby plot ratios that could affect views.
- Stack selection: Not all high floors are equal. Corner stacks and unblocked facings command additional premiums.
