Greyminswift 1st Gear October 2, 2012 Share October 2, 2012 (edited) Its a repurchased flat at Blk 44 Jalan Bahagia - see Flat This isnt a unsold BTO unit - lease commencement was in the 1970s! Its a 1st floor unit somemore. Only positive thing is that it is near the Kallang River. Edit - If you look on Google maps - the unit is part of a row of semi-detached. My parents say HDB used to build a small no of such units in the Kallang and Queenstown area. Technically its a 3-room - coz living room at 1st floor and 2 rooms on 2nd floor, but HDB is wrong to put it as a 3 room flat lah.

HP_Lee 5th Gear October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 The root cause comes from new flats pricing model. The flats should have based on the base price with HDB selling with little profit. Example : I believe HDB can be priced at 180k of first time buyer of a 4 room flat and 280k of a 5 room flat. The cost of building these flats are lower than these pricing, I believe so. If these pricing model, it will naturally bring down the pricing expectation of the open market HDB. Coz it does not make many senses to buy from open market at these rocket prices, while first timer can buy direct from HDB at 180k-4room or 280k-5room and willing to wait from 2 years. I still dun understand, why the gov pak the new flats in tandem with the open market price. This shouldn't be happen in the first place. As was mentioned by many, HDB supposed to be a basic housing for the citizens. If the gov wants to, it can change the policy to make it happen.

If they don't peg to open market, it is as good as passing $$$ to the buyers when they sell at open market price. While one can say that they do not control market prices but they can influence by their policies. Stop building flats and more FTs influx = Higher property prices. Get it?
