In 1989, there was a massive oversupply of flats in Woodlands and Yishun.

That said, many jumbo flat owners decide to partition the additional living area into an extra bedroom.

This arrangement enables you to net a stable rental income without having to move out or sacrificing privacy . And just last May, Woodlands became the third non-mature estate to join the club when two jumbo flats were sold for at least a million dollars.
