Sure win if you buy mature small HDB resale. Enjoy same amenities as neighbouring leasehold condo yet at much lower cost. Meanwhile work hard and live happily, not tied down by heavy instalments. You probably gain much more compared to those who transfer their property investment profit to medical expenses.
To hold on to a resale flat or a 99-year condo. It is ultimately a personal decision like putting $$$ into a normal bank account vs S&P 500. The latter has rebounded strongly.
@@alanweeproperty In the case of leasehold condo, at least the owners have destiny very much in their own hands since they can vote for enbloc sale. For old HDB flats with short lease remaining, there is no 100% guarantee the gov will offer your precinct the chance to vote for the future VER scheme. Even those lucky small percentage getting offer of VERS, don't even dream of windfall. The most recent AMK SERS saga already tells Singaporeans clearly can stop dreaming about windfall from SERS or the future VER scheme. Most of the ageing precincts are likely to be offered H.I.P 2.0 at around the 70-year-old mark and the lease will still run down to zero eventually
The whole 99 yrs concept is to create a cycle of price going up then depreciating so our future generation can have a chance to buy, the word they use is sustainable.
Agree. Better don't buy old HDB flats with short lease remaining For those who do not heed your advice, they are most likely banking on the government to bail them out eventually. With a mindset like this, it is a gambler mindset, not an investor mindset
Business as usual for most. But for those reaching it's tail end...alot of uncertainty and restrictions to use cpf n loan. I recall it was a real challenge to sell during 2015-2018 before cpf policy change.
In 2020 after the last GE, there was an article online showing stats that supports the notion there is no difference in selleability between PAP and oppo estates
If I am old, say 70, I will buy a 3rm old HDB flat, and rent it out when MOP is met.
HDB rental yield is damn high.
Yes. 6-7%. Better than GIC return.

@@atlantis98765 HIP 2.0 already announced. For those build from late 1970s onwards. They should be around 40-50 years old now...

You can vote but not many have enbloc potential

Most impt. Must know how to play the 99 yrs game. Never own forever. Also ok. Must know when to enter n exit. That is essential.
@This.Is.AngelaBloom
99 years are for two reasons:
Future development purposes
Old flats will have problems (e.g. pipes leak)

If you are 75 years old, is ok to buy lah
Is there any difference or advantage for estate that support PAP or Opposition?
Should we avoid Opposition party estate? 😅
In 2020 after the last GE, there was an article online showing stats that supports the notion there is no difference in selleability between PAP and oppo estates
I think it's boil down to estate maintenance n upgrading too. I know some that avoid. But not significant numbers.
If location good sure tio SERs replacement flat.
True....but still lots of uncertainty...some I heard waited for years...until bye bye..still haven't. 😂
That's what people tell themselves to feel better.
Ser only 6% will kena jackpot.

Is not location. Is whether there is development potential. E g. If there is a big open car park.
At comanwel and queenstown also old flat
Yes. Basically 50% of SG in the next decade.
