Why are you so afraid lar........no one is pointing a gun at your A$$ right?:bsmilie:
Thanks guys. I think I'd go w/ a resale 5rm flat. Those new flats from HDB are either too expensive or too far from an MRT station
As you guys said, the recession just started, we probably should wait until the price is more affordable. Currently price for private properties has gone down a bit, but prices for those resale flats still keep going up :dunno:
If new flats price go up, the resales flats will go up also one.
If you have not loan from HDB more than 2 times, then i would strongly suggest you to purchase a new HDB flats instead of resales. No matter how u calculate, resales flats will be more expensive than the new flats (but they will be slightly bigger)
some time HDB are sell ready flats and older flats (who sold back to HDB) you can check the link below.

Too bad the closing date was 16th Oct.
Prices of resale may not fall to the previous lows as mentioned by some post.
PRs are also keen on resale, since most PRs rent a flat, it makes sense for them to consider buying, since the rental rate is high and may be more that the monthly installment.
Here's a PR's view:

So for something more affordable, I guess it will be BTOs or buy direct from HDB. BTW, if you are considering a resale, don't waste time, just engage an agent and start looking for suitable place... this process can take anything from a month to a year in some cases I heard.

Now not so much liao la... on average between $30-$50k. Of cos depending on location!
Have encounter that price (>80k) few weeks back while I am searching for a flat, of course , those areas I was looking at are centralize and mature estates.
So , if it is still within that range of > 50k , I will not be surprised. However cov may have dipped slightly.
I am also planning to buy one now as I don't expect the price of HDB is coming down drametically in the future. I am applying the HDB half year sale and now waiting for the ballot result which will come out at 5 Nov. If not, I will try to buy resale flats.
Aiyo Bro...COV confirm have dip and varies according to location n other factors... >$80k sure have, even have encounter >$100k both i tell owner wait long long then have lor:bsmilie:... but here i talking abt on the average and i menton also depending on location lei...
No lar......if I serious.......I would be pointing the gun where no man has gone before.....:bsmilie:
Thanks guys. And sorry for not replying earlier.
Tried the half year HDB ballot (and previous quaterly ones too), but I just don't have the luck
After searching here and there, finally I persuaded my landlord to sell his flat to me Good time for him to sell (but bad time for me to buy) I guess. But considering the high rental and increasing price of HDB resale flats, I think it's better to buy now instead of later. I'd rather put the money into my own house instead of rental ..
Cheers to all!
