What Could Work Against You
- With just 0 sales in the trailing year, pricing signals are indicative rather than definitive; expect wider bid-ask spreads when you negotiate.
- The 12-unit size cuts both ways: exclusivity, but thinner resale liquidity and higher per-unit maintenance contributions than larger estates.
Best suited for
Who This Actually Suits
The profile fits mrt-walkable commuters, car-owning households, international school families and freehold / generational hold best. MRT proximity is the standout commute feature for daily transit users.
For long-term hold (10+ yr), it can work — but weigh the trade-offs before committing.
It is a weaker fit for short-term flippers (<5 yr) — other options likely serve them better. TOP 2005 keeps the SSD window in mind for buyers exploring the 3-5 year resale-arbitrage strategy.
