Xiang Yun and Edmund Chen invested over $1 million into their new flat during the pandemic, when housing prices were low.When buying a home, location is key. While easy access to town is essential for many, you can’t fault some homeowners for picking a place with spectacular views over convenience instead.

Celebrity couple Xiang Yun and Edmund Chen took the view of the sea into consideration when buying their new condo in Changi.: “Although Changi may be far from the city, it’s very close to the airport. The location reminds me of my time serving in the army too.To that end, their son Chen Xi gifted them a long elm table and “placed it on the balcony, where the family can eat, drink and chat.”The couple invested over $1 million into their new flat during the pandemic, when housing prices were low.

Actress Xiang Yun, also 61, said: “It's been 17 to 18 years [in the old flat]. The sink is corroding and the air conditioning pipes are also leaking. It looks like the old home needs to be renovated.”Renovations in their new Changi home were only recently completed, with Chen Xi giving his parents a challenge to keep decorating costs below $10,000.

Though they received the keys a month ago, Edmund has been living in the flat for a week as the “pest control ambassador”, he revealed in the interview. “The apartment is very new, and when it was still a construction site, there were inevitably mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches and mice so I'm in charge of exterminating,” he said.to prepare for future mobility problems he may experience. Unlike Xiang Yun and Edmund, he revealed that he “couldn’t bear to move as we've lived here since 2006”.
