I’m not sure how many of you have noticed this, some property agents are advertising properties in JB city as located in Woodlands in Singapore! I understand the online property sites do their daily scrubs but you should still find them Go to any of the online property listing sites to confirm what I say.
Well , JB city centre is just a bridge away from Woodlands so it is understandable that they are treating JB City as a natural extension of Woodlands.
In my opinion, if the rejuvenation of JB City is followed through properly, I do think that JB city can offer a better quality lifestyle, better amenities and maybe better food than in Woodlands. And if that is translated to property prices, it is not hard to imagine that the prices of properties in JB City can surpass those in Woodlands. Also, JB City is a mature area, so any new property supply coming online would likely involve en-bloc redevelopment of existing properties. I think prices should appreciate and if not hold steady.
However, do note that it is always possible for the rejuvenation to be stalled. The risks are best summed up by my Uncles and Aunts from both sides of the causeway “if JB city has stayed in this state for so many years, what makes you think that it is going to change for the better any time soon.”
