"Massive" downsizing occurred after that (around Y2000 onwards)... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royho1979 Clutched May 3, 2012 Share May 3, 2012 LOL... thats why I sometimes dun get why some young couples insist on getting new HDBs. So small. For the same price in the same area, you can get a resale ppty that is bigger and if you search properly, the $ you pay may get you solid Marble Flooring and Invertor Air-con. Best is, you know who your neighbours will be when u decide to buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustank Hypersonic May 3, 2012 Share May 3, 2012 The only way to get very big units are: 1) Buy resale jumbo 2 ) Buy ec penthouse 3) Buy ulu landed Check out these yishun huge penthouses! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwk 1st Gear May 3, 2012 Share May 3, 2012 Why all these " technically he's not wrong.....technically he's right " stuff. Why are you people making justifications for his effort to misrepresent?

Probably, if you talk about psf wise, it might be the same but even then, I don't think so... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
