What Could Work Against You

- At 41+ years of age, upkeep costs trend upward and renovation budgets matter; some owners here are effectively holding an en-bloc option.

It is a weaker fit for yield-focused investors and first-time hdb upgraders — other options likely serve them better. CCR (Core Central Region) location with rental demand profile worth running through our Rental Yield Calculator.
