Asked by
I'm searching for a resale HDB with my Wife. Both SPR. Having some problems deciding which location to get. Among the locations below, which do u think is the best? Yishun, Khatib, Punggol, Buangkok, Sengkang, Hougang? Or should I consider other places? Main intention is to stay, not so much for investment. I work in the east while my Wife works in central. Not considering Tampines and Pasir Ris Cus we don't like it there.

We want to get a unit which is not older than 20 year old (younger the better so that it's easier to sell 10-20 years down the road?), at least 1200sq ft (bigger the better), right next to MRT, near amenities, nicely renovated would be great. Budget wise we can afford up to 800k (if possible we don't want to spend so much) . Anyone has such unit? u May post the link here. Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

Buying a home is unlike buying anything else, especially this is for own stay.
Your work place can shift but usually not so easy for home/

From all the town listed, you have better chance of finding <20yrs old, bigger unit in Punggol, Buangkok & SengKang.
As this town were built in late 90's and yr 2000 and beyond.

The others are in the North-West and West region.

With your budget, you may also consider Paya Lebar.

It is true that it is easier to sell after 10 yrs when you purchase a newer flat, as those flats remaining lease below 60 yrs old has certain restrictions to young buyers.

Hope the above answer to 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.

HI Sir,

Thanks for your question.

Basically all the locations that you have mentioned have their own unique characteristics. It is also not just about where is your working locations but also very much of whether the characteristics of the particular town suits the both of you.

Most people who purchases a HDB usually will be looking to stay in the house and not looking at investment. But of course even if we don't talk about investment, we will also need to look at whether is the property sellable or not. As time passes by, you might be looking to sell your HDB and upgrade to another property, So we also need to make sure that the property you buy today, is a sellable property.

We have helped many buyers to own their first home or matrimonial homes. Many of them are actually first time buyers who also do not know what they really want. So what we do is that we meet up and we have a chat with them so as to understand them more and subsequently it will be more efficient when it comes to the searching of the houses. In fact when I am typing this, we have just helped a young couple in there 20s to secure their love nest. They have been looking at houses but ultimately they mentioned that every viewing session was disappointing. After we met up and got to know them better, we arrange for the right houses for them to view and they managed to find their home in just one viewing!

What I would suggest will also for us to probably meet up for a chat and coffee. No worries there are no obligations at all. We can really just take it as a chat. We will take this opportunity to know you better so that we can advise you accordingly and also do a calculation for your purchase.

My partner and I have pride ourselves as realtors who always puts our client's interests as top priority and we have been featured in CEA newsletter for good client service. We believe we definitely will be able to provide some good advice to you.

Looking forward to hear from you soon! Cheers!

Hi Sir,

In my opinion, if your budget is up to $800k, there is no need for you to look for a unit in the listed location.

I would advise you to get a unit in a more "prime" location, for example Queenstown. Units is such districts have proven over time that its value hold best during downturns, as the supply there is limited.

I do have a unit which I can recommend you. If you plan to have children in future, it is also great as it's within 1km of two Top Primary Schools in Singapore.

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you and your partner in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Good evening,

Based on your preferred living area sizing, it is not possible to match it with newer flats. You will have to look at EM, EA, 5A model HDB or Jumbo sized unit.
However, such supply are low and it might take some time to find a suitable one.

Do feel free to contact me should you require my assistance.
