Before the listing
Plan your home sale in Singapore
Start with the outcome you want from selling. A clear brief helps you decide what to investigate before setting a price or committing to a timetable.
Write your sale brief
Describe your home in everyday terms: how the rooms work, what you value about the location and what a buyer should understand. Keep source documents for a secure, appropriate channel later.
- Property type and general location
- Preferred moving period and household constraints
- Whether another purchase depends on the sale
Compare evidence carefully
When reviewing comparable properties, note the transaction date, location, tenure, size and condition. Asking prices describe what sellers request; completed transactions describe past deals. Neither guarantees the price your home will achieve.
Prepare for the conversation
Bring your goals and unanswered questions. For an HDB flat, use HDB’s current resale guidance to check the process relevant to your situation. Do not rely on an old checklist as confirmation of eligibility.
