Hi All, Just curious...for those that have upgraded from HDB to condo, what went into the decision making process beside the perceived or real incentive/comfort that comes with staying in a condo? 1. Is staying near to family a big part of the decision? i.e. you bought a condo near your parents' or sibblings' place? 2. Is school a big factor? You bought a condo that is near top notched primary school for instance. 3. Is locality/convenience a big factor? You bought a condo near major expressway, supermarkets, neighbourhood shopping hub etc. 4. Is distance to workplace a contributing factor? Or proximity to Orchard/CBD a key factor? 5. Or is it also due to the fact that you like the neighbourhood estate that you grew up at, and you wanna get a condo in the same estate. Besides the above, what are your main considerations when choosing and deciding on the condo that you purchased?

Some interesting FACT. What does it mean? PR own HDB equivalent to 2 Bukit Panjang or Pasir Ris town... That WHY so crowded!!!!!! As at 30 Jun 2009, there were about 533,000 PRs in Singapore, making up 14.3% of Singapore's total resident population. PR households own a total of 42,800 HDB flats as at 30 Jun 2009. This constitutes slightly under 5% (4.9%) of all HDB households. PR households are found in all HDB towns/estates. HDB has increased the BTO supply to 5,000 flats in the last quarter of this year. If we include the recent Sale of Balance Flats (Oct 09), HDB will offer over 7,000 flats in 3 months, and a total of 13,500 flats in 2009. This is about half the number of flats in Bukit Panjang or Pasir Ris town. At this rate, HDB would have offered enough flats to fill another Bukit Panjang or Pasir Ris in just two years. -

http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_453762.html A FOUR-ROOM Queenstown HDB flat has sold for $653,000, setting a new record for price per sq ft (psf), amid continuing red-hot demand for resale flats. The buyers, a male Indonesian permanent resident and a Singaporean woman, could have bought a condominium unit in an outlying area for the price. But they were won over by the location, just five minutes walk from Queenstown MRT station, and on the top, 40th floor of the block, with unblocked views of greenery from all windows. The four-year-old 969sqft unit at Forfar Heights, Strathmore Avenue, sold for $68,000 above valuation - a level determined by an independent valuer. This works out to $674 psf, smashing the previous record of $609 psf, achieved in January last year, by about 10per cent. This may be an unusually high price but resale prices have been moving up.
