Nationwide MLS (Multiple Listing Services) Searching Tips
(just scroll up to find your choice property in 1 minute from above MLS Search and Power Search)

MLS Search uses own set of abbreviation code in naming the street and project name as well as using old 2 digits district code in its property search criteria. Click > Singapore 28 Districts Directory Map to see the all the districts with examples of streets name / project names coverage. Remember MLS Search have their unique way of naming the street and project name, it do not follow the full official name at times, hence once the street name ( > Singapore Street / Road Directory ) and project name (> Condo Directory by names, by districts )are identified, check them out in the abbreviation code first before keying into the Personal Search Criteria.

Learn the MLS Searching tips, you'll be more productive and able to get more ideal property match by specifying your search criteria in a smarter way. Let's begin from after you've click 1 of the 5 property categories for sale or for rent (total 10 links), next you'll be directed to the Personal Search Criteria Page, where we are going to focus here on various steps (1 to 8) you could do to churn out your preferred properties from the mammoth listing database.

1) The Simplest & fastest Search that gives the most listings
If you do not specify any criteria & simply click submit, you'll see all available listings under that category. Try this for the first time, if you are not sure of how the project name or street name being phrased, or under which district it belong.

2) Narrow your search by choosing the Property Type, District and Project
Check the relevant box in the Property Type, and select up to 3 different choice of districts, you would see the listings are dramatically reduced as compared to 1). Some listings might appear in adjacent districts by mistake, hence it's ok to add more districts in your search. However if you already have preferred project in mind, for instance, you want to view all projects with the name start from 'balmoral', then discard the district field, just enter 'balmoral' in the project field and click submit. You would able to see all projects start with 'balmoral' would surface, whether

thery are from district 10 (right district), or other districts (wrongly placed).

3) Narrow your search by specifying the Street Name
If you decided to view all condo listings available along the River Valley Area, then left all field blank, type 'river valley' in the street name and click submit. All listings with the River Valley Road, River Valley Close address will surface. Remember to minimise the word. If you type 'river valley road', you are not going to get any listing out, because MLS only recognise 'river valley rd'. Hence to avoid missing listings, use 'river valley' instead.

4) Extend the Search Period for more listings (specially for sales)
To capture more listings under specific district, e.g to see all landed houses in district 10 for sales, simply pick 10 in the choice of district, next set the 'From Date' (by default always 2 months back) to much earlier date in order to see more listing in previous months.

5) Extend the Budget, more districts to net more choices
If you are more specific about the what you want now, e.g you prefer semi-d or corner terrace, with a budget of $2 mil in east coast to bedok area, simply pick 15, 16 in the district box (just refer to > Singapore 28 Districts Directory Map to learn more about the district coverage) for wider area coverage, check the box of semi-d & corner terrace in the property type, key in 2100 (i.e $2.1 mil) in the budget range upper limit. Once submit, all listing that match your criteria will be shown. Extend budget further, e.g key 2200 (i.e $2.2 mil)in the budget range upper limit, you'll get more listings.

6) Specific search example 1 - specific type of property on specifc Street Name
The more specific you are, the more quality listing you'll get from the system. E.g to see only bungalow in chatsworth avenue at budget up to $7 mil, then simply check the bungalow, enter the budget range upper limit to 8000 (i.e $8 mil), you need not to pick the district now, since you only want bungalows for sale from 'chatsworth' to surface. So next key in 'chatsworth ave' in the street name & click submit, Bungalow in 'chatsworth ave' will show. Should you just key 'chatsworth', then bungalows besides 'chatsworth ave', plus 'chatsworth rd' that matches the criteria will show. Remember widen the listing date range in order to get more listing.

7) Specific search example 2 - specific No. of Bedroom, Size, location & Budget
The further detail you provide in the search criteria, the finer result you'll get as abovementioned. E.g you want minimum 3 bedroom condo in orchard area (district 09) for rent with minimum size of 1600 sq.ft and your budget is $8000. Simply check condo, specify the no. of bedrooms from 3 to say 4, specify the minimum size from 1600 to say 2000, and budget upper limit to 9000 and Select choice of district 09. Once the qualified listings display, next identify those projects that meet your further requirement, such as those closer to orchard road or amenities. You would be able to filter some choice properties for viewing.

8) Specific search example 3 - minimise words entry to net more listings
The MLS uses abbreviation code for the project name & the street name. Rule of thumb is ALWAYS minimise your keyword. E.g if you're not sure 'ladyhill rd' or 'lady hill rd' is the correct one, don't dismay. Simply enter 'lady' and let the MLS flush out all street names that match 'lady'. If you're search for 'ardmore park', you'll not get any listing because the system uses 'pk' instead of 'park'. therefore in the MLS only show 'ardmore pk', not 'ardmore park'. To resolve this and displaying more listings other than just 'ardmore pk', simply key in 'ardmore' & submit, you'll get to see all 'admore' listing, such as 'ardmore pk', 'juniper at ardmore', 'ardmore pt', etc. So be smart, avoid combine keywords, use less or just single word in the project name / street name to let the system flush more matched listings for you first so that you will not miss the potential one. You can finetune your keyword for more precise listing later.


What if I still can't find my preferred property ?
First, check if your street name / project name is correctly entered under the abbreviation code. ALWAYS minimise the keyword (use single word if possible mentione in step 8). Do not attempt to filter the search right from begining, hence leave all fields blank except enter the right district no, or add more districts if possible (in case the listing was wrongly placed in other district due to human mistake). If still there is no listing, then leave all field blanks now and submit as in step 1). If still fail to get any, use the last resourt - push the search period date back to more than 6 months. The old listing may face. If still you can't get any listing under the MLS Search, don't worry, come to Power Search (just scroll up and do property search under the light pink column background) to check out, there might have some listings for you here. Alternatively try www.hotclassads.com to search from those links provided by Google Ads, or use the top right search box to extend your search by submiting relevant keywords in the homepage,
