SMART Expo 2014 runs this weekend, March 29-30 at Sands Expo and Convention Center, Marina Bay Sands.
When it comes to staying in Singapore, every little bit helps. The Lion City was recently confirmed as the most expensive city in the world in which to live in the Economist Intelligence Unit’s latest Worldwide Cost of Living survey. Indeed, sky-high property prices, soaring utility bills and the astronomical cost of running a car all arguably played a part in Singaporeans being ranked as the globe’s least positive people in a poll conducted by Gallup last year.
Thankfully, there’s still plenty of levity to be found in the city. Indeed, the feelgood factor will be out in full force at this weekend’s SMART Property Expo at Marina Bay Sands. As well as showcasing the best in luxury overseas property to investors hoping to score a sweet real estate deal, the expo – Asia’s longest running international property and investment event – will see attendees presented with free vouchers for use at Fair Price, Singapore’s largest chain of supermarkets.
The positive vibes don’t end there. Visitors can attend interactive seminars and panel discussions on consumer investment and the local and overseas property market. There will also be free motivation seminars with best-selling property and investment experts. With the sage advice and knowledge of these superstars of the investment world being imparted over the course of the weekend, SMART looks like a wise choice for those seeking some fresh inspiration.
“Singapore is a wonderful place, but we are aware that living here has its negative aspects,” say the organisers of the SMART Expo. “The most obvious drawback is the cost of living. It is very expensive to stay in Singapore and people have to work long hours as they try to make ends meet.
“We realize that a boost is needed from time to time and that’s why we will be giving out free Fair Price vouchers at this weekend’s expo. They might not contribute much towards a property purchase, but hopefully they will make people feel a little better. In fact, with great deals aplenty on overseas property and free motivational seminars, it is gearing up to be a resoundingly positive weekend all round.”
The expo will showcase property from all over the world in a wide range of property types. These include everything from condominiums, villas and townhouses to resort property and inner city apartments.
The spread of destinations is also mouth-watering. While property markets in other Southeast Asian countries are becoming more robust, they still represent incredible value – especially in comparison to Singapore.
Investors looking to live the tropical dream can cast their eye over beachside opportunities in regional destinations such as Phuket in Thailand and Borocay in the Philippines. Urbanites, meanwhile, may be more attracted to condo units in Tokyo or an investment property in London.
Onsite deals at the expo include downtown Manila condominiums from US$150k, award-winning beach view residences in Bali for under US$800K plus residential projects from Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, UK, USA, Australia and many others.
Not only does it showcase great deals, SMART provides a valuable educational experience for anyone who wants to learn more about investing in property with its range of seminars and panel discussions.
Attending visitors will receive a welcome gift in addition to the Fair Price voucher; and also have the chance to enter the hourly lucky draw for even more great prizes. What’s more entrance to the expo is free. You can register your attendance online today at www.smartexpos.com/sg.
Singapore may be expensive, but taking the SMART choice this weekend promises to pay rich dividends.
