Mockngbrd Supersonic March 28, 2012 Share March 28, 2012 http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_782594.html By Jessica Cheam The Housing Board is relaxing the rules on two-room flats in mature estates and raising the monthly household income ceiling for applicants to $5,000 from $2,000. 'This provides an additional housing option for households who prefer to live in mature estates, but whose monthly income exceeds $2,000,' said the Housing Board in a statement on Wednesday. The income ceiling for 2-room flats in non-mature estates will remain at $2,000 to safeguard these flats for low-income families, added the Board. The Housing Board's string of initiatives aimed at easing demand among certain buyers and forging closer family ties will apply to the bumper crop of 8,000 flats that it launched on Wednesday. forging closer family ties ar.... zhun bo? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosaria Twincharged March 28, 2012 Share March 28, 2012 (edited) There are people who will actually welcome this, you know. It's aimed at those young or not-so-young couples without children. They don't need such large living space, but they want to stay somewhere "trendy" or close to the city. These areas are usually mature estates like tiong bahru, queenstown, toa payoh, etc. The prices of standard 4-room or larger flats there are sky-high, so of course there is a demand for smaller flats which can be offered at cheaper prices. Of course, somebody is making a huge profit and laughing all the way to the bank, offering these little coops/pigeon-holes for sale - but believe me, there's actually quite a demand for this.

It is not about the size, it is about the location and neighborhood environment. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
