When fed increased rates my lender OCBC was quick to increase as well.

Now that rates were cut, OCBC didn't lower my rates. 🤬

Should I call them up to reprice now or wait for the next cut? Or will they even voluntarily reduce rates since I'm on floating plan?

Sorry ah Abit OT 😬

these antique used to sell close to 1mil

now? price drop probably by 30% from the peak 

No doubt location near town, but weighing price against remaining tenure , i feel too much. But thats just me, diff strokes diff folks.

For 1mil i would buy resale condo full facilities 24hr security private car parking, but many are still willing to pay even above 1mil for a hdb flat.
