Homes handed over

Five out of two hundred and twenty-four.

Each of these was photographed on the last evening before the keys changed hands, with the lamps the family actually used. Nothing here is for sale. What I have on right now changes most weeks — message me and I will tell you.

A long public housing block at dusk seen across the estate grass, deep recessed balconies and hundreds of windows, about half of them lit warm amber.

Twelfth floor, Hougang Avenue 8

The owners had raised two children in it and were moving to be near a grandchild in Punggol. We listed thirty thousand below what the previous agent had promised them, with the four transactions that number came from printed out on the table. Nineteen days.

A high-floor living room at dusk: pale oak floor, a low linen sofa, one standing lamp, and a glazed wall onto a balcony above distant lit towers.

Eleventh floor, Serangoon North Avenue 1

Sold to a couple who had already viewed it once in daylight and walked away unconvinced. They came back at half past seven on a Wednesday, stood at the balcony door for a long time without saying anything, and offered the next morning.

The kitchen and dining end of a flat at dusk: white cabinetry, a worn timber table with mismatched chairs under one warm pendant lamp, and a window of deep blue evening above the sink.

Corner unit, Kovan

Eleven viewings before this one, and I talked the buyers out of four of them. They wanted the corner for the second window in the kitchen; I made them come back on a Tuesday night to hear how quiet the corridor was before anything went in writing.

A quiet bedroom at dusk: a low bed under plain linen, one warm bedside lamp, and sliding doors open onto a balcony filled with evening sky and the dark green of a rain tree.

Third floor, Upper Serangoon Road

The seller was eighty-one and did not want to move. I sat with her twice before anything was listed and once more before she signed, and the buyer agreed to let her stay eight weeks past completion. She left the rain tree in the photograph on purpose.

The frontage of a two-storey terrace house at dusk: a low wall and gate, a frangipani in the yard, and a warm porch light beside the door with upstairs windows glowing behind curtains.

Off Yio Chu Kang Road, an inter-terrace

Three generations had lived in it since 1974, and the family wanted it to go to someone who would not knock it down. That took seven months and two buyers I sent away. The people in it now have kept the frangipani and repainted the gate the same green.

What I have on now

There is no listings page here on purpose.

Anything I could put on this page would be out of date within a fortnight, and you would be reading a stale advertisement instead of talking to me. Tell me the estate, the size and roughly when you need to move, and I will send you what is actually available — including the ones I am not the agent for.
