Asked by
Hi, I am 34 single this year turning 35 next may. I am trying to do research so that i can immediately buy my own home and move out of my parent's 5rm HDB.

I am currently earning 7.2k monthly (excluding annual variable bonus), with about 65K cash, 200k CPF (150K OA/50K SA)..and also have other investments like shares/bonds totaling 80K. Have almost zero debts and loans as i do not own a car.

I know i am not eligible for most (if not all) grants so i have not put it in my consideration in terms of budget planning.

MY intention is to get a home of my own next year, taking the shortest loan tenure possible (10years?). What are my eligibility in terms of the current market for resale 3/4rm HDB or exec condo? What about smaller private condo?

The reason for the short loan requirement is because i do not want to be tied down with a loan for 20-25+ years as i am thinking of retirement by age 55 and leaving singapore then.

Thanks and please advise.

Good morning Thomas,

Yes you are right that you have to wait till 35 years old in order to be eligible under single singapore citizen scheme. You are not eligible for housing grant and HDB loan as your income exceeds income ceiling.

Since you are taking bank loan, there is no restriction on which type of HDB you can purchase.

You will be eligible to purchase a private property inclusive of resale EC now (not eligible to purchase new EC as a single).

Based on your income, you should be able to loan up to $436k based on 10 years loan tenure. Along with your finances on hand (cant use SA to buy property), $600k property should not be a problem.

Your intention is to retire by 55 years old. In order to do so, you must be financially capable to do so.

Between a resale HDB or private property, which property do you think will have a better potential upside and will make money work harder for you in years to come?

Perhaps you can share more with me so I will be in a better position to advise and assist you further.
