Harry and Jane approached house hunting armed with spreadsheets and a data-drive approach. After viewing close to 40 units, they chose a 5-room HDB resale flat in Toa Payoh and designed a flexible yet cosy space they now call home.
In relatively decent condition, not requiring extensive renovationWith the help of PropertyGuru, the couple was able to systematically scour the available listings and easily sort out their picks via the search and filter function. They also looked at each listing’s pictures to see if it would make the shortlist.
At each viewing, Harry would note how much a unit’s actual appearance differed from its pictures and add his observations to the spreadsheet. And when they returned home, Jane would browse every listing in the area on the PropertyGuru website to see if the unit they viewed was fairly priced. “Every unit you find is going to refine your search because you collect more data points. After seeing so many houses, it gives you a bit of assurance that what you missed out on is not the only one out there,” Jane explained.
For their first home, the couple decided to go easy on their pockets and spend less on renovation costs.
