I viewed a total of 18 units before settling on my purchase. Now waiting to get valuation to so can exercise OTP. Buying HDB is like going on a rollercoaster ride. Most of the viewings, I arranged them on my own though propertyguru, except 4 of them were arranged by a very nice agent whom I went viewing together once. Didnt choose the units which I went viewing with her cos that was in Mar 14, and then, I don't have my HLE yet. Also, no feel for the units I saw, somehow, there will be something u dont really like. You kind of know if you like or don't like the house when you step in. For the flat which I finally offered, it was so spacious, high ceiling and clean that once you step in, you feel good. Viewed twice and we gave the owners an offer. I think that flat was barely marketed for over 1 or 2 months. Strangely, this flat wasnt something we thought we would like coz the location is not a familiar one, but it fitted all the rest of our criteria. So, the random viewing turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The flat is quite new, less than 20 yrs, nicely renovated, very clean and pleasant.
