Roh96 6th Gear March 28, 2012 Share March 28, 2012 What they are saying is... "We want to continue raising the flat price.. so we allow richer family to buy smaller flat." Yeah, raising income ceiling is not equal to making house more affordable. But somehow we like to get mixed up with this. How silly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at it this way. If now $5000 per month household income earners can buy 2 room flats, the HARD TRUTH states: $5000 per month household income = POOR.

SimonTan 2nd Gear March 28, 2012 Share March 28, 2012 I think they realized that the mature area housing are too expensive and those $2000 income cannot support the housing price. Seems like all the rule change are going to PUSH up the HDB prices higher and higher. Well done! I am looking forward to my $1mil HDB very soon!

Neutralsg 5th Gear March 28, 2012 Share March 28, 2012 (edited) 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? Isn't this one way to create demand for highly priced mini flats? Otherwise, how to have demand from $2K income earners who may find the pricing in such estates even for a mini flat unaffordable. In doing so, KBW & Co., can always tell those who cannot afford a smaller flat in such estate to go to ulu places although such low income earners may have the need to stay nearer to their parents in those mature estates for a variety of reasons. Are they really pro families or pro profits??? Such a policy is questionable. If gahmen is sincerely pro family, they should price the flats decently within the reach of all including the lower income for such mini flats in mature estates too while at the same time allow those earning up to $5K in non mature estates too! Afterall, those earning up to $5K could well have parents living in non mature estates too but may not want to spend $$$ for bigger flats. Also, have the shouts to deny PRs from purchasing public housing and/or restricting the use of public housing owned by PR strictly for owner occupants rather than rentals fallen on deaf ears??? It seemed pro family policy for Singapore citizens remains to be lip service only. Sheesh! Therefore, IMO, they can fool some people all the time. They can fool some people sometimes but they cannot fool some people at all times. Edited March 28, 2012 by Neutralsg ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
