there is definitely a super under-supply of new HDB flats in sg.
for those who said "there's lots of available flats in jurong
west", would u wanna live there yourself (if ur parents do not stay
there)?? i would rather pay more and live in a more centralised
area.
anw my bf and i will be balloting for flat in the third quarter
of this yr, where there'll be new projects in the more centralised
areas of sg. n i'm only in my early 20s. heard so many "horror"
stories like this that i decided i'd better start balloting early.
of course, ppl will ask "huh, still so young, what if breakup with
bf??". obviously my bf and i are both very committed in our r/s,
that's y we r planning for our future. but even if the worse
happens, then we'd just lose the $3k (i think). $ can be earned
back. otherwise, we'd have a nice place to stay 5 yrs later when
we're married=)
n of course, the HDB balloting system is not fool-proof.
there'll always be some who r more "suay" than others. my frens
actually got the toa payoh flats (40th storey one) in their first
balloting! good location! so they r the lucky ones. but in case
lady luck is not on ur side, plan earlY!
so, in a nutshell, plan early! esp if u're not rich! not
rich enough to buy a condo that is.
20++ still young meh? good life now mother liao. With the fast
and furious changing landscape of Singapore, sometime you planned
and find yourself on the losing side ya...the question is not plan,
is be objectives and be up to date with the info so as to take
advantages of the loops and niche when the time come.
