My take... base on what I understand from my parents about cost then.

 

Last time 60s - 70s

HDB: $45,000 from HDB

Mercedes: $8,000

Cigarette: $2

Char Kway Teow: $0.30

Dad's Salary: $1,500

 

Today

HDB: $280,000 from HDB - 6X increase

Mercedes: $180,000 - 23X increase

Cigarette: $12 - 6X increase

Char Kway Teow: $3 - 10X increase

Salary to match Dad and have 2 kids should be $9,000 - $15,000 base on 6X - 10X increase

 

Well, still far from that.....

 

60-70s HDB confirm not so expensive. 10K max more likely

my in law bought their 5rm HDB in late 70s early 80s only 30K, recent transacted price 550K

Yup, 3rm cost only around $8k and that was the largest flat available.

frankly speaking, the price of the HDB in resales maret is induce by the citizen ourself. who ask everyone die die must stay in central??? hence jack up the price. the outskirt price just follow suit nia.

Cursing myself for missing the chance to buy landed property at Springleaf Garden semi-detach houses in late 70's. Just started work and pay was low ($600/- a month) so dare not buy as the developer was letting it go at as low as $65,000/- per unit.

 

The place was deserted way along Upper Thomson Rd and so much housebreaking at that time until no one wants to buy that property.

 

But now, the same semi-d can sell around $4.5million.........

yap mine is top floor.

 

bro, that place initially ppl dont want because central area cheap cheap. a 5 room above 20 floor beside Queenstown MRT is selling at 350K then. will you want to go and buy a flat in Jalan Bahar (far from MRT) 5 room at 150??during that time. they dont.

 

but when price increase. everyone realise that market going on bull run. everyone rush in. What happen?? central area become around 450K for a 4 room flat. then suddenly they can only afford flat in Jalan Bahar liao. they dont like but they dont want to lost out in a bull run. so jump in and buy.

 

but are you aware that while Resales price in other region had raisen 200K. Jurong resales price only rise by at most 50~70K?
