How did you determine the $1,930,000 valuation for Normanton Park, Block 49, Unit #xx-xx?

To determine the valuation of a property like the one at Normanton Park, several methods can be employed, each considering different aspects of the property.

Direct Comparison Method

This method involves comparing the subject property with recently sold similar properties in the same area. Factors such as the size of the property, floor level, view, condition, and other value-sensitive attributes are considered and adjusted to arrive at a fair market value. For example, if similar 3-bedroom units in Normanton Park have recently sold for around $1,900 to $2,000 per square foot, and considering the specific attributes of the unit in question (e.g., floor level, view, condition), the valuation can be estimated accordingly.

Income Approach

Although less commonly used for residential properties, this method can still be relevant if the property generates rental income. It involves calculating the Net Operating Income (NOI) and then dividing it by a capitalization rate to determine the property's value. However, for residential properties like those in Normanton Park, this method is not typically the primary approach.

Cost Approach

This method considers the land value plus the cost of replacing or reproducing the property, minus any depreciation. While this method is more commonly used for unique or special-purpose properties, it can provide a baseline for residential properties as well.

Indicative Valuation

Using online tools and recent transaction data from EdgeProp Singapore, an indicative valuation can be derived. This involves averaging the prices of similar properties sold in the vicinity and adjusting for specific factors related to the subject property.
