      Agree. During SARS period and year 2009. Friend told me she went to see this unit in Yr2009, the owner wanted to let go soooo cheaply until she scared (less 50%). Now she regretted she didn’t buy. 😆
      During downturn, there's also fear of losing your job, especially for the middle aged...so even if very cheap but without rental or job...damn terok!

          Yes... I have advised a friend not to commit to an ec. Why take the risk when he has a fully paid hdb?

            The general sentiment is prices have bottomed out.

            But rental prices also at rock bottom.

            People really don’t mind paying ABSD because they think property prices have bottomed out? 7% is a lot.

            More like give up hope government will remove the cooling measures...or thinking long term 🤷[/quote]Yup..think the cooling measure will remain.

                  My condo will top by end 2018. I intend to sell but ssd only end around Sep 2019. Should I rent out in the meantime? Pay the 4 percent ssd if the buyer can match my asking? Leave vacant until Sep 2019? Any views?

                    Unless you are desperate, may as well stay in it and wait.

                      I just shifted into my rented hdb flat which is very spacious. Don’t think I want to squeeze in my small 2 bedder condo. Maybe rent it out. No pressure on rental for mortgage payment as fully paid. Also cannot stay in my own hdb as it is too far from dd school.

                        It seems you hv a fully paid hdb and a fully paid private
                        Can still rent a hdb?
