Hi guys. First time home buyer here, been seriously shopping around last few weeks and making some decisions on if I am to book one soon while all the MCO rebates are still valid...or promos would even be fiercer next year once the effects of last few weeks really kicks in? Who knows. So many properties, so little time/money.


I would like to know in terms of the packages offered, normally how much of it is negotiable? If any. Do you guys usually push for anything extra eg additional rebates/warranty/ furnishing/free gifts (haha)/etc? Or is it a take it or leave it, then wait for a promo or scheme if you want kind of situation.

Additionally, just curious, any difference in walking in sales galleries and booking there directly, versus engaging an agent online? Would one of them be hungrier and help push for more? Though understand it also largely depends on individual either way. I've only done walk ins at galleries so far.


Some info if it helps- First time home buyer, looking for own stay long term property, investment is secondary, budget 700+-1m, 3 bedrooms definitely, have looked at several outskirt landed options and PJ center condos. Currently narrowing down options and finalising.

Thanks in advance.

for projects
package / rebates are usually fixed
even if package changed / rebates get more, usually are the same , mean they just higher their SPA pricing, or skip agency comm etc.

walk in or agent
depending if you want one stop service (walk in) or long term servicing (agent).
but we also unsure if the agent still in the industry after your house VPed, nowadays property "consultant" seem to be fast cash earning only.

own stay i will advise look at the accessibility, surrounding environment lo.
new landed are outskirt now.
