CCR Singapore Property: Why Prime District Condos Are Making Money Again

Video description from @therightmovesg

Can CCR condos in Singapore actually make money?

To answer that, you have to understand why the Core Central Region earned its bad reputation in the first place.

The CCR has underperformed since roughly 2013, and it was not one single cause.
It was everything landing at once. High prices, steep maintenance, poor design trends like bay windows and planter boxes you paid for but could not use, and a wave of awkward boutique layouts, all made worse by cooling measures and ABSD that hit the high-quantum prime segment hardest.
Put together, that produced a decade of weak, sometimes negative, annualised gains, and the phrase "CCR cannot make money" became accepted wisdom.

So why bring up a CCR resurgence now? Because the inputs have changed.
That older, poorly designed stock is being replaced by a newer batch of better-quality supply with more efficient layouts,
and some recent prime projects are already posting annualised gains that beat what most people expected from the region.

It is still not OCR or mass-market territory, and for a pure investment the OCR and RCR remain the lower-capital, lower-risk play.
But for a buyer who wants something mostly own-stay that still holds its value, the CCR deserves a proper look again.

The lesson: the best entries are found before the crowd agrees they exist.
Prime property rarely stays quiet for long, and the ones who understand the shift, old supply versus new, are usually the ones already looking while everyone else is still repeating the old story.

Now is the time to start.
