I pass because the answer is $200k i think the $420K is price of the Jurong 5-rm flat, whereas $520K is price of Queenstown 4-rm flat, based on wat the originator said.

Tigerwoods Turbocharged November 1, 2011 Share November 1, 2011 (edited) lets be fair on this. the first few DBSS launch are at reasonable price. well below 500K. but when property start booming, HDB price increase. hence DBSS increase. the problem is when Gahmen relaunch Executive condo together with DBSS. this spike the price of private property even higher. and hence the rest of the price. what gahment should be doing is not to even have DBSS in the first place. just build a bloody EC. The price of resale HDB flats should be left to market forces. BUT the price of new flats should not peg to market forces. This is the one thing wrong the Garment did. They should just increase prices if needed, base on construction costs and not in tandem with market forces. Once the baseline prices of flats are set and affordable, market will adjust accordingly for the resale. It is when the baseline goes UP and UP the market will also UP and UP.

Shor 1st Gear November 1, 2011 Share November 1, 2011 Singapore will be for the RICH to stay soon. The average or the poor one will suffer. This is why, work hard, SAVE hard. Retire elsewhere, I think it's really hard to survive in Singapore soon! 700k for a DBSS and everyone is "snatching".....ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
