How about your cash component? You will need at least 28% of the purchase price in order to purchase a small condo with existing funds and balance to cover under loan. Meaning if you are purchasing a $1m property, you will need at least $130k in cash on top of your CPF minimally, on top of your loan that you should be able to undertake at estimated amount of $800,000 if you do not have any existing loans or credit facilities.

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out with your question. Here's a simple breakdown to help you assess your affordability:
- With $150K in CPF and a monthly income of $7K, you're in a good position to start looking at a condo.
- For a rough estimate, you could afford a property around 5 to 6 times your annual income, which puts your range between $700K and $900K.
- With your CPF and some savings, you can cover the 25% down payment required for a private property. This will be around $175K to $225K, depending on the price of the condo.
- Also, remember that there are other costs like stamp duty, legal fees, and renovations to consider.
- A key point is ensuring your monthly mortgage repayments don't exceed 30-35% of your income. With $7K per month, that means roughly $2.1K to $2.5K per month in repayments.
I can help you narrow down suitable condo options within this range and guide you through the purchase process. Feel free to connect!
Thank you!

Hi
Your cash funds on hand also play a part. For a $1mil property, the downpayment plus stamp duties works out to $277100, of which 5% of purchase price ($50000) needs to be in cash.
Based on info shared, your max loan will be up to $755k, based on 30 year loan, no other loan installments and good credit score.
So a $1mil property looks possible if you have about $128k cash on hand.
Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 homeowners transit smoothly with their housing plans. Please reach out to me at
