Hi SK,

There is no definite answer to your question. It will depends on what you aim for.
If you have enough cash upfront or CPF for your private condo, I should advise go ahead with getting a private and lease out your HDB. If you want to take profit, or lessen the loan of the private property, then sell off the HDB.

Let me know if I could help you to market your HDB, and look for your private as well. Just drop me an email or call me directly to discuss further.

Thanks & Best Regards

Hi SK,

The HDB prices had actually gone up quite a lot and the private condo may has started to drop.

You may consider to buy a condo and rent out your HDB flat. When the market is good, sell off your condo and wait for opportunity to buy again.

The decision is still yours.

Please kindly give me a call should you need to rent / sell your HDB flat.
