Maybe buy those along Farrer Rd/Holland Rd/Ulu Pandan/Sunset Way? Parents must recce the routes and work out which kid to alight first I guess, and don't forget they must report to office on time too...unless make hubby take the MRT.

When's the Scotts one relocating?

What a friend did was buy another car, instead of relocating house or buy another house. So every morning, one parent send one child to school (they have 2 kids), then drive to work. Their reasoning: buy car is still cheaper than buy house.

With all the additional stamp duties etc

Is it still worth buying?
What is considered a reasonable price for a 2 roomer in newton/novena area?

I'm looking at D9, 10, 11. Prices still super high

I am familiar with District 11 as I have been following the prices for years. Won't be selling my matrimonial home, so my plan is to buy 1-2 properties in District 11 hoping my children can stay near me when they grow up. Even if they are not keen, to stay near me, I will continue to rent these units out to provide income streams during my retirement.

There are still some decent buys depending on your budget and the floor size you are looking at.

Across the road is District 12. Used to own one investment unit there. Last time dirt cheap but now, prices there have gone up a lot, and I don't think it's worth buying considering the neighbourhood. I rather top up more for a unit in District 11.

Yes and I was one like that. 5 yrs ago I moved closer to parents when my kid is K2 and we are enrolling her at SCGS so I moved to Regal Court along Kim Keat Rd/Balestier. The school bus picks her from Regal Court every morn so I don't hafta drive her. And it's near Whampoa mkt and food ctr incl 24hrs NTUC so that access to food & groceries is easy. She just finished PSLE and I am selling my place at Regal Court now. If anyone keen (2BR 904sqft) below valuation at $998k, contact my agent for viewing k.

[/quote]Decoupling as a way to avoid the ABSD?

As long as the cooling measures are still in place, it is not the best time to buy. However if you go house hunting regularly, unless you chance upon a distress sale then you may want to seriously consider buying.

When new 99yr condos in suburbs are selling at around $1400 psf, while a resale freehold apartment, albeit with limited facilities, in D11 going for around $1500-1600 psf, why not top up a bit more to get a freehold one? In a downturn, Dist 11 prices still hold up well and easy to find tenants. My thinking only, not everyone thinks like me.
