if it's easy to get.. then the value won't be there any more?i still dun understand why flats are like so hard to get.
Good for those who have the "privileged information" and queue up one day early.
http://www.hdb.gov.sg/pc14/isos0174p.nsf/BE05CFeedback?OpenFormWhat's the URL to apply for this privileged information?
so far, hdb has not responded to numerous letters about WIS to Today.

HDB always keep quiet on any questions posed to them or answering them in an out-of-point manner. E.g. when quizzed on why is the costs of a 4 room selling at $200k when the costs is only lesser than $50k, they give all sorts of replies but never straight to the point.
But most of the times, keeping quiet is better than shooting their mouths off (a good example is the most recent case of TT). :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:
Yes, they seem to be quiet about it and that is a good strategy.
I make a few enquiries back to them and they have not gotten back to me, just note a "thank you for your feedback". I wonder if ever they do "listen" and "read" feedbacks from the public.
Flats are no longer so cheap (price closer towards condo), comparatively to 15 years back. I am very curious what is the cost of a flat (to build) and how long the average Singaporeans take to service the HDB loan compare to 20 years back.
I'm not too sure what the backlog of the number of emails are...
Perhaps they will need to employ 5 full time staffs, just for replying email. The costs of a 4 room flat should not exceed $60k based on a tender price awarded. This has been reflected in the Straits Times forum by a reader before.
IIRC, most HDB dwellers are on the maximum 30 years loan. It is especially more worthwhile if you are on HDB loan.
However, this is the statistic that that is probably more worthwhile to look at to see if the HDB value has inflated much more than the average disposable income and how much is "subsidized" compare to 1975.
I almost forgot that HDB flats are "subsidized". :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:
