I dun give a damn about any of these until I see real property prices tanking, otherwise all really just BS. Climate change worldwide and unrest will drive the affluent to cities with solutions that work. These solutions are extremely costly and these places will be very few and far in between. Expect to pay THAT MUCH more for even public housing in such cities in the future. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeshe Turbocharged January 11, 2020 Share January 11, 2020 Dear gurus, need help with 1 question. If one owns a Hdb and subsequently a private pty. What will happen when the HDB goes under enbloc? Does the owner get another HDB unit thru enbloc exercise or he will be force to return to HDB without the new unit as he already has a private pty?

Rskc 4th Gear January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 On 1/5/2020 at 12:46 PM, therock said: It's relative.. Eg a friend has a place at Dawson, he is surrounded by condos which cost 1-2 times more.. so he feels that his HDB is super VFM. He can swim at Delta, go to his work gym, and he is happy. And those en bloc chaps want it Now... so after getting 4mil, there's plenty of change left over from such a 'cheap' place.. Agree...it is the quality of life and the amenities around it. I may choose a "cheap" flat in a good city area with minimal transportation times when I retire. Best if I can reach malls, airport, parks within 15min by Grab or MRT. Saves time (when one is old, the shorter the traveling time the better due to stamina), saves transportation costs (forever increasing) and high probability I will not drive if stay at fringes of city. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 When one is young, 10min from a train station is already great news.. As I age, I aim to keep things within 500m... especially if there's no shelter.. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hdb loan is ok cause can go get bank loan. So those who have a private and hdb, after SERS, still can get a replacement new flat, sell back to hdb and get compensated money or sell in resale market. Not bad ah, meaning the owner can hold two properties forever. But such SERS good lobang seldom can happen now, esp they announced that not all old flats will be SERS and with the implementing of VERS, you want your old flat to get SERS even harder than striking Toto. 😂 ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
