Hi,
The best way to find out is to apply for the HFE. HDB will let you know what grants and loans you will qualify for. You can then, decide what next to do.

Please contact me so that I can be of further assistance.
Cheers!

Good morning,

do you have the cash on hand to top up for the difference in your ideal 5rm?

If based on an income of $3k, your eligible HDB loan amount might be up to $190k. Along with any eligible housing grants and your OA on hand, you will need to top up in cash.

Hope my sharing aids in your property needs. Do contact me if you need any assistance.

Best regards,

YT Tan

Hi, appreciate your sharing. Best to check with banker base on your current income and age how much you are able to loan, before determine your maximum purchase price.

Loan for 1M resale flat with income below 3k and OA below 55k is unlikely. Consider HDB loan eligibility requirements and explore other options like building CPF savings or waiting for income to rise.

Hi,

$1m will be too heavy for you at this moment.

My suggestion is to apply for HFE first to know exactly how much loan you can take, what grants you can get etc so that you will have a better understand of your financial situation before your purchase:)

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
-- My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--
Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller)

--Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--
Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)

--Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very thankful for--
Aaron ( HDB seller)

--Jenny was very passionate and went the extra miles to help. Thanks to her professional advice and recommendations, I had finally found my dream home--
Yvonne (New launch buyer)

--Appreciate Jenny's clear and prompt communication style with us and other stakeholders. She was also patient and client-centered throughout the process of finding a home that met our criteria. As a first-time home buyer, we appreciate how she went out of her way to explain the process and answer questions we had--

Hi,

1) With monthly income of $3k, your maximum loan is estimated to be around $170k.
2) From the current listing on a 5-rm HDB flat, the cheapest is $468,888.
3) So it means that your downpayment is $93,777.60. Buyer stamp duty is $8,666.64. Legal fees ~$1,000
4) Your initial downpayment will be $468,888 - 170,000 = $298,888.
5) Your cash + CPF must have $298,888 + $93,777.60 + $8,666.64 + $1,000 = $402,332.24.
6) The above did not take into consideration the caveat fees, survey fees, valuation, resale application, agent fees, etc.
7) If your target budget is buying a $1M flat, then you have to add in the difference. Note that buyer stamp duty would be $24,600 instead of $8,666.64
8) Since your loan is estimated to be $170k, your monthly installment would be $771 only.
9) It is the initial payment that is worrying and not the monthly mortgage payment.

Please give me a thumbs-up if the answer provided is relevant to your main concern. Thanks!!!

I hope the above answers your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Don't think you will get sufficient loan of for the purchase if your existing funds is restricted to your CPF OA, unless you have significant amount of cash on hand to top up the shortfall.

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.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!

Hi, the loan amount is very dependent on your income and your current income will not be able to fetch such a high loan amount, if you are interested to purchase a flat, you can firstly go apply for a HFE, and from there see what options are available for you.

If you require any assistance and wish for me to be part of your home purchase journey, you may contact me to know more.
