In this week’s episode, Jewel shares her journey of moving into a shophouse in Singapore, a dream she’s held since first encountering these vibrant, historic buildings seven years ago.
The moment she discovered her current unfurnished unit, she was captivated by its distinct turquoise windows, tall ceilings, and the view from her kitchen window.
Landed markets are thinner and less transparent than condo markets. Good comparables can be difficult to find, and an enclave often behaves very differently from another just a few streets away.
That’s where a second opinion can be valuable: benchmarking a specific property against comparable transactions, understanding what you’re really paying for, and weighing whether it makes sense for your own plans.
Over time, that’s also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.
Jewel expresses her joy in creating a dynamic entryway wall filled with artworks collected over the years, highlighting pieces from various artists around the world. She values the wall as a source of joy and inspiration, appreciating its evolving nature as she changes and rearranges the artworks.
In the main living area, Jewel’s Togo couch becomes a focal point, selected for its colour and comfort, which encourages intimacy during gatherings. She opts for a low coffee table that allows for easy movement and display of her cherished objects.
Jewel emphasises her belief in owning functional yet beautiful items that bring delight, making her living space both practical and visually engaging.
She also discusses her love for hosting, explaining her choice of a smaller, circular dining table that fosters connection among guests. Jewel often works from her kitchen table, where she enjoys the view and the company of her cat.
Her adjustable kitchen shelf, adorned with special items like a cherished Hario pot from her father, showcases her love for both design and meaningful objects.
Jewel’s home is a reflection of her personality, combining functionality, beauty, and a deep appreciation for art and memories, making it a vibrant space filled with warmth and creativity.
Special thanks to the homeowner for showing us their home!
Unlike condos, there are very few true like-for-like comparisons in the landed market. Every purchase is effectively a judgement call based on imperfect comparables.
