Lease Analysis

With 73 years remaining on its 99-year lease, FOREST HILLS CONDOMINIUM still qualifies for full bank financing and CPF usage.

What Could Work Against You

  • The remaining lease of roughly 73 years is comfortable today, though long-horizon owners will sell into a progressively lease-sensitive market.
  • With just 0 sales in the trailing year, pricing signals are indicative rather than definitive; expect wider bid-ask spreads when you negotiate.

Who This Actually Suits

This is a strong match for car-owning households and first-time hdb upgraders. At ~827m from the nearest MRT, this property suits households with a car who value arterial road access over transit proximity.

For long-term hold (10+ yr) and cpf-only buyers, it can work — but weigh the trade-offs before committing.

It is a weaker fit for mrt-walkable commuters — other options likely serve them better. MRT proximity is the standout commute feature for daily transit users.

FOREST HILLS CONDOMINIUM is a 99 yrs lease commencing from 2000 development in District 26 (OCR), with 128 units, offering a gross yield of 3.9%.

At ~$1,088 psf, it represents a competitive entry point in the OCR segment.
