Good morning,

It depends on your age.

If you are not 55 years old and above, you have to dispose off your EC and observe 15 months waiting period first before you are eligible to purchase a resale HDB.

If you are 55 years old and above, you are eligible to purchase a resale flat up to 4rm after selling off your resale EC without observing 15 months waiting period.

Care to share more about your situation so I will be in a better position to advise and assist you in your property journey.

Best regards,

Hi,

If you are 55 years old and above, you can buy resale HDB 4-room immediately after selling your EC. If not, you will have to wait out 15 months first. I have helped various homeowners to successfully transit to their next HDB smoothly. Look forward to do the same for you. I am contactable at 97432395  for further discussion.

Hope the above clarifies. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Condo Seller

Mr & Mrs Wee : We would like to share our appreciation and commendation to Ivan for their professionalism and dedication in handling our property transaction. It was a great pleasure to work with him as he was patient throughout the entire process and explained to us and clarified any doubts we had without fail. He was also very prompt in responding to all the queries we had. While we were unsure if we were able to sell off the property in time, Ivan constantly reassured us that it was possible and offered his professional advice. In fact, he managed to secure an offer to sell the property above our expected price while concurrently negotiated the buying price for our next property. Having Ivan as our agent significantly made the entire process seamless and fuss-free. We will definitely recommend Ivan to our family and friends.

EC Seller
Mr. & Mrs. Siah : We have had a positive experience with Ivan throughout the sale of our EC. He is a very responsible and helpful agent. He managed to sell our EC within a month, which exceeded our expectations. He has gone the extra mile to ensure there are interested buyers viewing our flat every weekend, and has provided frequent updates on the progress. On top, he has provided valuable advice in our property planning journey. He is someone who listens to the needs of his clients, but at the same time value add by adding his own perspective and insights to what works the best. We are very grateful to have him through this sale, especially since this was our first time selling our EC Read More

You will have to be 55 years old or above in order to purchase a 4room or smaller resale HDB immediately after your sale. Otherwise you will need to wait out for a period of 15 months after the sale of your EC. For the above, it is provided also that you meet other requisites of HDB purchase.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

My Answer with regards to your Question:

Buying your next home

You must meet the requisite wait-out period after disposing of your EC unit on the open market before you may apply to buy an HDB flat. There is no wait-out period if you are buying a private residential property.

Type of Property

Wait-out Period

A subsidised housing unit, such as:

A flat from HDB

A resale flat with CPF Housing Grant (excluding the Proximity Housing Grant)

An EC unit from a property developer

30 months

A resale flat without CPF Housing Grant (excluding Proximity Housing Grant)

15 months^

Private residential property
N/A

Once you reach the age of 55 or above, you're eligible to purchase a resale HDB 4-room flat immediately after selling your Executive Condominium (
