Now we are happily staying there. hee hee hee did you happen to go with them for first appt bo? got see anyone with a bright aura around him bo? that would be the legendary 0001 for that ballot liao. haha got glow de. Hi Jeremy, are you parent working in govt sector (eg hdb,SP) or are they some RC member ? I alwys think this ballot is unfair,as it is not open that's something like my id's conspiracy theory lo. my theory more drama, i think they purposely make number void. so maybe 1-100 have only 80 ppl. 20numbers missing. so hor..increase demand for resale, price go up. then they will have reason to up their flat prices mah. cos they peg to current property market de mah. drama enough bo.haha. and when we start seeing 498k lv-2 flats being sold off, sp price hike of 21% dispite billons of profits. next election lagi more drama ba.

Red 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2008 Being a new PR here, I dont understand why is it is so hard for HDB to give housing to applicants. I mean, they were publishing that they are building HDBs here and there a few thousand units, then how come families are getting tough time to get even a ballot number? Guess it this reason the major contribution to higher price of resale units especially 6yrs old unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irenetsh 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Ya I guess the demand is still there, so far i know, Punggol Sapphire BTO has more than 80% take up rate. Not bad liao...ppl still willing to wait for 2-3yrs for new flats. As for location, it's really very personal perferences, there are so many factors to consider. Think of ur own requirements and choose wisely. Dun care what other ppl says, it's u staying in the flat for at least 5 yrs, so u should be comfortable abt it at the very start.
