oic, hopfully hdb dont fluctuate alot, or else its diffcult for normal singaporeans like us to buy a roof above our head.Originally posted by eagle:Well, if you talk about HDB, hard to increase.
Talk about private property. Half a year ago, a small terrace costs 1.4~1.6mil. Now, it costs around 1.7~2 mil
Eg Semi D at Lorong 1 Realty Park. The seller told me his valuation in Nov is 2.08mil. His new valuation in mid Dec is 2.13 mil.
I know because my gf's house was on en bloc sale, and we went around looking at many properties.

fools and their money are son partedOriginally posted by Daddy!!:to those who are contemplating a purchase of the 5-rm hdb flat at 750K. bear in mind that the record 5-rm hdb resale price was set by buyers who got their money from enblocs ie they are cash rich. if you queue for the boon keng ones at $750K, ask yourself whether you are doing something clever.

Read in the papers that more than 1000 S'porean was there to get a unit. But due to the demand..... it will be up to their luck to even get a place.....
Well TS, U, me and most other 'normal' S'poreans wouldn't be able to afford one..... but that doesn't means that 'ALL' S'poreans couldn't afford it. Get yourself a 'Normal' HDB at some Ulu area if you want it cheap...... understance that [b]S'pore have more ppl than land..... cost of housing will always be expensive.[/b]

This is brand new falt,mates...
Pl click the floor plan and amend what u have posted.
The size is same as (68 sqm to 70 sqm and S$349,000 to $394,000) being offered in Boon Keng,just 3 mins drive to CBD.
Yes ,u can buy a 68 m2 flat for S$110,000(like u say) in Singapore
for 99 years lease and just 30--45 min drive to CBD
or 35 mins by trains.What a steal!![/b]
Yes I have..... If you are unhappy with the price of HDB flats here.... do move yourself overseas ASAP..... then problem solve.Originally posted by reddressman:I want to laugh at your statement that says sg has a place that is ulu.
have you been overseas?
this post begs the question.Originally posted by fishbuff:Given the fact that most public organisations are very proned to revenue generation, this new price of $750,000 will set the trend for HDB to strive for more expensive apartments.
more expensive apartments = more revenue.
so, on one hand, prices of living space will skyrocket.
on the other hand, wages must come down to reduce cost of operation, not to mention the lax rules on employment for the citizens.
Guess who will be the one that will be caught in the middle of these two?
