Cov Dropping Does Not Means Price Is Decreasing..

My "aiming" skill all this while quite accurate. Even before official ROM, we gave $10 as registeristion "to ask for a 5 rm" flat in bedok north, actually new blks were building half-way (don't know that time why so less "competitors") We kena within less than a year to choose a unit among many le (bedok south, kakit bukit, chai chee...)I was at 28, wife 23. Abt a year later (from registration) we got the key in Sept 1992! 123m sq, #13 @ $124.4K . Held customary marriage 13/3/1993 (Sat)!

Wah, your customary date swee le. No wonder, stay so long...haha

Oh yes, I remember those times, go HDB many times to cancel cos keep changing girl friend.

HDB office in Bukit Merah is like my parting ground

I traditional man, buy New Flats, bank account=$0, stay with Parents first. Even reno must loan. Money all spend on wedding and honeymoon. After loan complete, spend on maid and baby. Then...slowly can buy car... Haiz..those were the days.

Later part, chiong resale HDB, cos children school locality. Where got time everytime pickup at 3~4 pm. School bus dun service. Book taxi also dangerous. Haiz.. who ask my wife must go to branded school.

Now kena stuck with the resale, like travelling on the highway, exit for U turn so far away.

Some similarity to me. Before rom, wife stay rented flat, once reno completed she/sister/mil moved in, I haven't till customary marrige. reno $ borrow from mil's mother's coffin $. By practising biting bullets and tightening belt , within a year cleared the "unofficial"reno loan of $18K. Full redeemption of flat within 6 yrs! Tokong hor! 2 children all born there then buy car...stayed within 1km of branded school still kena need to ballot and this time not so lucky, OUT ! By demonstarting of all sorts of skills in full swing after that, finally IN , on 24th Dec - principal called & joked to me: "give you a christmas present" - told son must give back school some presents. He's done that.

16,000-12876=3124 to go. But I thought MBT says some will be in mature estates?

Guess ppl are waiting for those. Easily 10 times oversubscribe

Similar story.. but now i am moving on to property #2. Got a WIS flat. Take the 5 yrs to buy car , marry , have children. Now moving because of the kids.

Btw many landlords are increasing the rents of units after the new property measures. I read some complaints on expat forum etc.

Then, they will re-consider buying a unit even if they need to sell/transfer their home unit because of the increasing rent. Then they will realise that can appeal to government buy producing some document that proof the intention to sell their hometown property.

Aniway, COV will moderate for a while cos' there some resale-hdb seller are caught by the new measure where the buyer backout, afterall, deposit is only $5k. They on the other hand may have committed at least 1% i.e. 30-100k in their condo purchase. So there will be some fire-sale of hdb.

My hubby:

He should have bought flat first because property price appreciates faster than the rest haiz.

If I remember correctly, it is the plot of land next to Bedok West & Damai Pri Schs, very near the proposed MRT station too. Not bad a location since Sheng Siong, Fairprice & other shops are diagonally across the road.
