Well, we bot 5rm initally @ west area, now regretted cos of the distance. Now we are considering downgrade to a smaller flat in central area, we can only buy resale & bank loan ...

Halo cutepink~ Thanks for sharing, maybe you are right, i am so depressed about this house thing, i think i suffer from stress at one stage bcos of this. At least you found yr ideal flat, i start looking 2mths ago, price dosent seem right, timing also not right. I also have my set of story for wanting to move lah

why do u say so ? i think in future there are fewer HDB built flats..all going to DBSS, do you think resale flat prices will drop ?

i am still looking for ideal home..currently staying in the west, want to move back to east/central area, but cant seem to find a good agent, good unit..

What is yr view on Park Central @AMK ? Is it better then city view ? Price is slightly lower then city view..ard $400K - $700K Do you think it is a good deal ?

Found this clause under General Conditions for Purchase of 2rm, 3rm Flat :- Then where can the owner stay for the past 30mth ? This rule abit illogical, what if cannot get the flat ? Ownership / Interest in Property No person shall be entitled to buy an HDB flat if he, his spouse, any occupiers listed in the Application Form or their spouses: is the owner of any other flat, house, building or land* or has an estate or interest therein; or has at any time within 30 months before the date of applying to buy an HDB flat, or between the date of the application and the date of completion of the purchase, acquired or disposed of any flat, house, building or land, or any interest therein.

How come i call the same agent asking for the same flat, but they quote me diff price ? A difference of $5k from the weekday price Dont the agent have an agreed price with the seller ?

Nevermind, let me check with CPF..found the cheapest 2rm, valuation is $155K, still quite exp hor Wish me good luck !

Where can we find cheap and good painting work ? nowadays seem getting more and more difficult to find painters

Then what is the difference between Special Acct & Retirement Acct ?

oh is it.. too bad What is the use of Special Acct funds ?

I think not so easy to top up MIL CPF too ..Found this in CPF website Q:What are the conditions to top up my siblings'/ spouse's/ parents'/ grandparents' CPF Minimum Sum using my CPF? A: To top up your siblings’/spouse’s/parents’/grandparents’ CPF Minimum Sum using your CPF, your net balances in your Ordinary and Special Accounts, including amount withdrawn for investments, must be more than 1.5 times the prevailing Minimum Sum. The balance in your Ordinary Account will be used for the top-up. Q: If I top up monies into my sibling's or spouse's Special Account, what will happen to the topped-up monies when the recipient passes away? A: The amount topped-up will be returned proportionately to the contributors’ Ordinary Accounts This sounds better, but never say for parents can or not..only mention sibling /spouse

Just some updates..the 2 rm flat now cost $160-$170K , definately we cannot afford.. Any idea can we get $30K bank loan ? If we were to transfer our CPF OA funds to MIL CPF Acct, will we get back the CPF when she sells the unit ? Because she has already willed the CPF

Hi applefreak, I will be taking bank loan, so how much deposit do i need to pay ? 10% Cash + 10% CPF ? Shd i wait after lunar 7th mth ?

How much is the downpayment ? 10% or 20% CPF ? Appeal for longer grace period ? What if i cant sell after 6mth ? Will HDB confiscate the flat ?

how much is the downpayment for new flat ? CASH or CPF ? i m not worry abt selling, more worry abt buying..

For purchase of resale flat, will you buy or sell first? Reason pls ? We need to sell our flat after 6mth if we purchase new flat (after 1st apptmnt) am i correct?

HDB Refines Its Flat Application Process To Address Repeated Non-Selection Of New HDB Flats HDB has refined the application process for its Build-to-Order (BTO) and Balloting Exercise (BE) modes of sale to address recent increases in non-selection of new HDB flats. The changes will take effect from the May 2008 BTO exercise. First-timer applicants who reject 2 chances to select a flat will have their First-timer priorities removed for a 1-year period in HDB's sales exercises. click here for details ! http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10296p.nsf/Pr...F7?OpenDocument paiseh, post under wrong header, will moderater help to move, thanks
