Inside The Most Expensive Neighborhoods of Singapore | Insider Business

Рік томуGood Class Bungalows are the most prestigious and expensive homes in Singapore. GCBs even inspired homes in the movie "Crazy Rich Asians." Today, their prices are soaring as the island's ultrarich are fighting to get one. And there are all kinds of building rules owners have to follow once they get a GCB.
We tour two Good Class Bungalows with Julian Yip, managing director of Realstar Premier Group, and Billionaire's Row with UKpostsr Si Ling to see how these rising prices could affect the rest of the island's residents.
Check out more from Si Ling on her UKposts channel Red Potato Singapore: / redpotatosingapore

the problem with GCB's is that for the price, you get "very little". look at what places like Malibu, BH and Hollywood offer. GCB's are more of a status symbol and accolade than an actual luxury home. no GCB in Singapore has an actual "view" and the only reason why amenities are plentiful and convenient is because the country is small so everything in within reach very easily even for big homes in Sentosa, the "scenery" if any at all is really not in the same class as what one may find in Newport Beach, Pacific Palisades, Hamptons, Sydney or Cote De Azure etc. let's be real, GCB's are a store of wealth to pass on to the next generation, not an actual home for "luxury living". visit them, compare and you'll unfortunately see the stark difference and lack of standards in comparison

Pretty sure that's not a concern for the owners. They are not there for nice views or comfort, they are there for a luxury symbol. In fact, there are quite a few cases of rich people buying these private properties purely because they know its value will increase in the future... while they themselves live in public housing. Also, there has been an increase in foreign buyers in recent years---people who don't even live in Singapore.

Rising prices in Singapore seems to defy the global trend however it is for very good reasons. Small island with high ownership % and most people stay in the houses they own.

thankfully it doesn't impact the ordinary citizens as the government owns 90% of the land and have a awesome public housing scheme (not like HK, where the government owns the land but relies on it as its main cash cow, leasing it for impossible prices), it's probably the only wealthy city in the world where ordinary people can easily afford housing. It's the way to go really, give the insanely rich their little playground so that they don't throw a tantrum, give them tax incentives so that they do business on the island but heavily tax the luxuries they enjoy (like cars), meanwhile limit the impact on the general population. Singapore HDB is literal genius, there are other things I'm not a big fan of when it comes to SG governement but this is undeniable
@e8943 Рік тому
HDB is a good concept and has shown to be one of the best things the gov has done but they really need to get a hold of rising costs. Soon, we will enter territory where all HDBs will cost at least 1 mil and clearly, demolishing loved malls and soon, Turf City, is not the solution as costs keep rising
@louisazraels7072 Рік тому
The only way to alleviate that would be to build more. Either land reclamation or more high rises. Honestly, 1M SGD woukd still be very reasonable for a 5 rooms appartment in a major world city, it would still be under 10X median household income!!! Compare that to Paris where a similar appartment would cost litteraly 50X median household income (meaning only the wealthy and high income households can buy appartmentd in Paris)
@e8943 Рік тому
@@louisazraels7072 Not saying that we need to be a cheap city to live in or anything. I agree that naturally, due to population and land size, housing costs will be high, but 1 mil is actually not a manageable sum for quite a decent chunk of our population, especially since the purpose of HDB was to provide affordable housing for all! Building more has not proven to lower housing costs, they are building more and more HDB blocks everywhere but the cost is still going up
@louisazraels7072 Рік тому
@@e8943 well 1M would only be for 5 rooms flat, and we're still a long way away from that anyways. Building more HDB and faster is the main way to keep prices low, the faster and the more are delivered at discounted prices the better itll keep the resale prices from rising.
@e8943 Рік тому
@@louisazraels7072 Building more HDBs is not the solution. The new HDB flats are being made for “new” residents, not for the benefit of existing Singaporeans. If they really wanted to help Singaporeans, the solution is reducing the ceiling, back to the original, for buying flats and preventing people from owning more property than 1 HDB if they buy one. The rich who have enough money to buy more than 1 apartment/landed and own a Mercedes, should not be allowed to buy a HDB flat. That is how we make HDBs affordable for ALL. Property prices are rising faster than you believe and really needs to be acted on quicker with a different approach from building and building. Singapore cannot be compared to other cities like NY as NY is a city in a big country with many states. It is much easier for people who cannot afford to live in NY, to leave the city and move to other states and cities that are more affordable. On the other hand, in Singapore, if one cannot afford to buy housing here, it is much harder to move from one country to another just to get housing. Whilst I’m not saying that Singapore needs to be a cheap city (as I understand the reasons for a much higher than average cost of living), just across the border, just looking at rent, let alone property for sale, for S$3500, one can rent a 4200sqft semi-d whilst in SG, there are the biggest property you can rent is a 1500sqft HDB (which is already hard to find).

@Asher89leo 11 місяців тому
This is so true. The younger Singaporean should be afraid of higher price of these houses. Because it is the reflection of housing or houses property market right now. The younger Singaporean might not be able to rent a home in the future.

Considering how expensive they are, a lot of the houses in the video look kind of gaudy and tacky. 土豪, as they say in China.

@JLDREAMS 11 місяців тому
the prices of these homes dont matter as much to the average singaporean as compared to when government housing costs more than a million dollars (which is happening)...
@kenyoung6666 11 місяців тому
That’s why I don’t mind the government letting really rich foreigners who buy GCB’s becoming PR and/or citizens. I’m opposed to the government letting in foreigners who are only able to afford small condos or hdb’s when they become PR and/or citizens because these are the people who snatch jobs that Singaporeans can and are willing to do AND drive up prices of property prices meant to be affordable housing. Singaporeans need to differentiate the foreigners that will benefit the country vs foreigners who are thieves to true blue Singaporeans.

If you are from HR or an employer, please see this. It is ridiculous of companies and employers to think that they are doing employees a favour by employing them. The workers are not getting the salary for free, they uses their time and effort to earn that money, and companies cannot survive with just talking CEOs, so please know that nobody owes the company anything. And by the way, please Raise salary for employees especially those at the bottom levels, things are very expensive nowadays. Always ask yourself are you willing to take that pay yourself, before you have the heart to offer it to others. Employers, better do a lot of good Karma. Make workers suffer and you will also suffer in your own life one way or another.

land scarce... I'm sure people wish they wouldn't even have to pay this much for that. if you compare it to the mansions in US, for the price you're paying this is pathetic. and the fact that it can only go up to two stories (less basement and carpark) means you won't see any atop a beautiful hill or some shit like that

Not everyone wants to move to that parts of the world. Asians want to stay close to home where their favourite food and culture is, especially when they get older. Whenever I visit my relatives, they will always ask when are you moving back here? I m like, well..I am settling in the west. They're like, yeah but it is not home! 😂
@capella-chan6425 Рік тому
@@BM-zd3vs I get you, I'm leaving the West this year to get a little closer to home (Arab World). But really, they could get a skyscraper in Bangkok for 170M $ or a massive penthouse in Hong-Kong.
