I m sick n tired of HDB!!!

"Your queue position for a 5-Room flat in Bedok is 01091. As your queue position has exceeded 2 times the flat supply, we will invite you to select a flat if there are flats available after the applicants ahead of you have made their selection."

 

and total applied for this was 1200++..

 

I have been paying many $10 balloting, for BTO, for watever new flats HDB is offering.. and the queue number i get is always so huge so near to the number of total applicants!

[Ronnchee]

Cos my ah girl got a confirm place in a good primary school there.

 

i'll keep on trying and trying and trying........... U should do that too. Our day will come.

Why not look for re-sale? This is what i did for the first time, and have been here since. No hassle, no waits. You get to actually view the actual condition of the flat, environmental conditions, neighbours, sun-facing which direction, etc. beforehand before making a decision.

 

Or as some here suggested, no choice, need to go for the less popular 'ulu' locations... But Jurong West is not too bad. Even Pasir Ris started out as a very 'ulu' location in the early 90s, but look at it now.

 

Sometimes, just can't get your favourite area the first time, and this happens even for re-sale. The seller may be asking for more than you can afford. It's the same, then need to settle for second best.

No way im getting a resale flat. The Cash Above valuation is usually the costs of a 1.6 sedan car.
