How to determine the market value of your next property purchase

Introduction

In the world of real estate investing, there are dozens of ways to determine what is the fair value of a property. But to keep it short, here’s a list and a brief description of the methods I use for my clients

  1. Comparable Sales Approach – The approach most Singaporeans like to use because not much calculation is involved and it’s comparison properties is tangible for everyone to see
  2. GRM (Gross Rent Multiplier) approach is commonly used for commercial properties but with a little tweak is also easily useable for residential properties
  3. Income Capitalisation Approach is used for rental properties but can also be used to determine the market value of the property you are thinking of buying

Conclusion

As you can see, giving the same formulas to 10 different owners looking for a house in the same location can give 10 different valuations. The variables vary so much because different owners will give different weight to the multiple variables that are included in these formulas. For example, how near the public transport is will not matter to the owner who has his or her own private transport, the rent amount one can expect to receive for the GRM (Gross Rent Multiplier) Approach, or the rate of return used for the Income Capitalisation Approach, all of this are determined by you the owner and can affect the valuation answer.

The important thing is that for you, these 3 formulas, based on the amount of weight you give to the various variables, should give you 3 different answers that are very close to each other to determine for you the valuation you think you should be paying for the property.
