Altivo 3rd Gear August 28, 2013 Share August 28, 2013 now ponggol super huat!!! govt take away paya lebar airbase ponggol babies can sleep better liao huat ah huat ah!!! But i find the access roads/exit to Punggol to be very lacking leh. Currently, only Sengkang East Road and Punggol Road is connected to the TPE while Punggol East Road connects to Sengkang and traffic is already so congested. I can't imagine when Punggol is fully developed. It will be super congested siah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoob Supercharged August 28, 2013 Share August 28, 2013 (edited) So, lessees of existing HDB flats, are you happy now your comprains hv been heard and that your hdb flat price will drop? No point getting sad, I applauded to the change. We are blinded by greed in the beginning, if we think HDB flats are for investments. We know that HDB was founded to make sure everyone has a roof over their heads. We had been misguided with promised that HDB is an asset to us. It is NOT, it is a house for us to stay in. I had never believed in EC and I'm glad I never did. I never believed in buying flats just to sell them after 5 years. It is good that they have done this else it would become a property bubble waiting to burst. Nothing can be sustainable if the price keeps rising, if someone did this just to look good in their KPI then we are paying the price. We have to keep price down for HDB flat to be readily available for the next generation, and generation to come. We cannot be buillding new BTO when some of the flats remains empty because it was used for property speculations to get profits. I'm all hands up for this restrictions. We must set the record right. No complaint Edited August 28, 2013 by Carnoob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No complaint IMO, d correct way is to let mkt run up n explode then crash back to earth, then find equilibrium. thats d best way to know wat is really d correct pricing, but coz now we have politics in d way, we have instead CMs etc... woohoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoob Supercharged August 28, 2013 Share August 28, 2013 Blinking game. If more people can't afford to take a higher loan, it means less people can afford the asking price. So the seller can either wait and hope for someone to bite, or lower the asking price. And with more condos reaching TOP at the end of this year and next year, more HDB flats will be put up for sale. This increased supply + the 25 yr HDB loan / 30 yr bank loan requirement will put more downward pressure on the selling price. Agree! that is the purpose, push down resale price.

But this will have an impact on those serious buyer (newly wed couple) How they expect young couples age 28-32 to afford? Or are they expecting them to buy 2-3 rooms only. If yes, then how can they expect to boost the population? If you know you have a small house, how many kids do you wanna have? Like last time in 70s where a family of 5-6 squeeze into 1 3 room flat, every night sleep in the living with mattress (ti Lum)? End of the day, solving 1 problem yet created another one.
