HDB Flats --- Are they becoming less affordable?

winth:

Just go with the feeling. If you really like the unit, should just take. Sometimes, gut feeling is more important that what is theory. Just make sure you don't take bec you are trying to settle into a decision about a house, I know finding a house can be real tiring and people just want to make do with an okay house and further convince themselves that it's good.

winth,
thanks for your pm.
regarding this unit, we brought along our dss and our ILs for the second viewing on the same day (evening ie) and all of them (for ds2, he has no comments one la!) like it very much, esp my ds1 (we brought the kids along cos read in the 'other' thread ma ) .

I bought the storage bed too.

my husband wants storage bed too, for space efficiency reasons, but i worry lizard may 'store' their eggs in my storage compartment. :!:

Don't worry. I've mine for about 2 years and there's no lizards and cockroaches. Well, at least, not yet. Probably has to ensure that your room is clean and don't attract them.

Try putting cloves (a kind of spice) in the storage compartment.

I put them in my kitchen cabinets and so far no problems.

Also shd clean the compartment evry 2 mths or so lah ...

Seems from the article that it's not a done deal yet.

If the unit is an EC, is $900k considered expensive? I thought EC is like private condo after 5 years? :?
