Oh yes, I like to shop - see show flats.

[zac's mum]

I went to see some show flats, near to good schools. It is a main selling point. But the agents cannot answer me whether the postcode will be <1km of the good school or not. Also cannot answer me whether the TOP date will be within the accepted MOE timeframe.

no recession :rahrah:

With SG well managed w/o fears of ppl loosing bz & jobs with US targeting with tariffs, unstable/corrupt govt handling some kinda videos at large, draconian attack at drug traffickers, poor economy with hardly any good jobs for young ppl, riots, missile heading in, and moving funds into SG, property prices will be going up instead. Many 逃难者 coming in to secure a place here. We’ll be edge out of affordable pte property. JMHO

I agree with you - funds/assets/people will move in because it is a safe haven.

I do not think private property will fall too much. In so far as it is rightly priced and there is value, it will be taken up very fast.

I find the prices too steep or perhaps I don’t hv deep pockets.

I also agree with Esteema. Even if a HongKee decides to come over Singapore, he will find that Singapore properties are reasonably priced compared to those in HK.

One group of HDB dwellers will think that older HDBs flats are not good investment anymore and may also turn to look at private properties?

I also think that private properties prices are unlikely to drop much. Take my estate for example, new launches nearby in the same district, are launched/going to launch at ard $1K more for every PSF.

20+ years ago, a friend from HK migrated here. She was deciding between Condo or HDB but finally decided on an old resale 4rm point block HDB in Bishan. Now she was telling me, the gap between private and HDBs has widened too much and felt that she has missed the opportunity to own a condo.

I notice that some of my younger colleagues who are jumping straight into condos or landed.


Single, below 35, will not know if they will have considered HDB instead.

The line between being ambitious and reckless is very fine.

In year 2017, a relative (who is single) was deciding between a resale 3room next to Punggol MRT or a small condo at Waterway Point. She later chose 3rm which she paid almost $400K. I think today, Waterway Point Condo seems to have appreciated in value more than the 3rm flat.
