MrsKiasu:

Just to share my personal experience. When I first came out to work, I have been seeing quite a number of colleagues around me getting excited either for successfully balloted for a new flat or for pocketed more than $100k (at least) by selling the flat. I understand then that once you have got your new flat you have to get married in the next few months. So I have this feeling ... Whoa your 'ah gong' is so generous..giving you such a big angpow


imho, they want to sell it now or keep it and sell it in future, I think that is entirely their personal choice and also their own financial planning..If I m not wrong, every Singaporean is given a chance to buy a subsidized flat..that is, to me, fair la as all of us in a way pay tax and contribute to the country's economy. Even if we don't use the chance now, we can use it when we are older, hopefully.

This reminds me of my ex colleagues - quite a number of them bought HDB flats first hand (married early, I guess). Over the years, they became financially rich n went on to buy condos.

Some choose to stay in condo n rent out HDB, others chose to stay in HDB n rent out condo.

No one chose to sell off HDB - it will be silly to do so.

Is a 99 year leasehold, worth the price?

The other day, I simply went into one development to check for the recent transacted prices...wow..a loss of $700k :yikes:

They are probably super in need of money to sell at a loss…

Wah liao! The loss costs more than what we paid for current place!
