What works in its favour
- 3-bedder × investment — appreciation sweet spot: Sells into the deepest pool — owner-occupier families. That demand floor drives durable capital appreciation. The investor default for total return, not just headline yield.
What to watch out for
- Thin transaction volume: Only 12 resale deals in the past year. Equity trap risk — when you want to exit, very few buyers to anchor against.
- Thin future upgrader pool: Live count: 0 HDB blocks within 2km cross the 5-year MOP between 2025 and 2028 (of 248 HDB blocks total within 2km). Narrow pool to absorb your resale — demand leans more on private-market churn here.
Who Tree House suits
- Buyers who prioritise a central, well-connected address
- Yield investors — ~4.8% gross is workable; favour larger unit types
- Buyers who value a stable, established neighbourhood over speculative upside
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers hunting deep relative value — the market has already priced in most of the story
- Short-term flippers — stamp duty + agent fees demand a 5-year minimum hold
- Buyers wanting a guaranteed top-tier primary within 1km walking distance
Huat Kueh says
134% up over 5 years, now ~$1,548 psf. Track record confirm got. No MRT walk though — taxi uncle will know your face.
