And.. It is a map!<\/span><\/p>\n

[Interactive map]<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A Map?<\/b><\/h3>\n

We know, we know, we know\u2026 much like Harry Potter, when he was gifted the Marauder\u2019s map, your first thought is: \u201c<\/span>a map? what\u2019s this rubbish<\/span><\/i>\u201d. But really, much like the Marauder’s map, our MRT rental map holds many a hidden treasure \ud83d\ude42 <\/span><\/p>\n

While it may simply look like just another MRT rental map on first sight, upon second glance you will see that all MRT\/LRT stations are substituted with rental prices. (hover over the map with your mouse to switch between station name and average surrounding rental prices). <\/span><\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s this good for?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Everyone intuitively already knows the first law of real estate; that is, the closer you are to the the centre the higher your property value, and by that the higher your rent will be. What the map does is clarify this general trend by placing specific numbers to each and every MRT station. This way you can know precisely which locations are and which are not within your monthly rental budget. <\/span><\/p>\n

Property Price Hack<\/b><\/h3>\n

So with all this information how can we get the best value for our money? The thing is that prices between one station and the next may differ considerably. The price for a 3 bedroom condo around the MRT station of Hougang is $3000, while the prices around Kovan, just one stop away, average out to $3700. If you were in the market for an apartment in these surroundings you can save $700 by moving just one station away from the centre. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, when you glance over at the stations of Buangkok, Senggol, Punggol, and also the LRT fringe stations of Oasis and Coral Edge, the average prices around are $2800 for a 3 room condo. If one of your main objectives in the search for a new home is to live closer to the centre of town, then it makes little sense to go for the latter stations when Buangkok is both closer and equally expensive. <\/span><\/p>\n

Best. Present. Ever <\/b><\/h3>\n

So, if location matters to you, then the map allows you to see which distances have vast price discrepancies and which do not. Time to <\/span>explore!<\/span><\/p>\n
