Key facts

• Verdict: Solid Choice!
• Region: Outside Central Region
• Tenure: 99-yr leasehold
• Avg PSF: ~$1,479 psf
• Price from: S$1.37M

What works in its favour

• Genuinely well-connected: Location scores 10/10 — MRT and daily amenities are within practical reach, which is what keeps both tenant demand and the resale pool deep.
• Rental demand supports ~3.7% gross: Rental scores 8/10 — tenants are findable in this pocket, so an investor is not underwriting long vacancy between leases.
• Precinct has a catalyst: Growth scores 8/10 — infrastructure or Master Plan work in the area gives this a reason to re-rate beyond general market drift.
• Entry price leaves room: Value scores 7/10 at ~$1,479 psf (entry from $1.37M) — you are not paying for the whole story upfront, which is where a margin of safety comes from.

What to watch out for

• Plan a patient exit: Exit scores 6/10 — a thinner resale pool means fewer comparables and a longer runway to sell. Budget five to eight years minimum.

Who The Amore EC suits

• Buyers who prioritise a central, well-connected address
• Yield investors — ~3.7% gross is workable; favour larger unit types
• Forward-looking buyers comfortable waiting for precinct transformation to deliver

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
