oh yes.. of cus! the house is owned by the bank! At current price... abt 50% loan

But.. if we didnt make the move to buy the place back in 2006.. we could never afford this place on downpayment alone!

 

From the condo you move to what?

another condo lor.. still rd area... 15mins away from office was the main reason for the shift... we both work raffles place area... CCK was min 40mins drive down is really scary...

 

sry.. shld be apartment.. those boutique small ones... location and quiet environment was the top draw..

In hindsight.. there is really a fine line between trying to wear bigger hat... and being ambitious... No one knows for sure how property prices will move in 3yrs.. let alone 5~10years.. But one thing for sure.. if you dont take risks.. 按部就班... its much much more difficult to survive...

 

Bro, do you have kids ?

Aiyoh, in those tight small lanes where parking is a problem for landed homes and cluster apartments?

Density very high and environment quite "chup" type.

But good thing more convenient than CCK for sure.

 

I now staying CCK HDB, envy you.

Dual income, raffles place, big bucks, high society, travel round the world...... Wow....really steady....really. You have made it! The Singapore Dream!

 

Not suaning you hor.

[nazerath]

east places cost more generally than cck so that by itself is already a bit if a stretch.

Lesser reason for people to upgrade Liao

No point "upgrading" to a smaller home unless really hard up for facility

For me, the reason is more of facilities, and the not very useful security . Not good also better than none.

Hardly ever used any facilities last time when living in a condo, felt like a waste of money paying the conservancy.

one question ....so now do you have a much bigger debt on your current place than when you bought your first place?

 

not judging you of course...no offence

 

I believe not all debt is bad... it is not possible for most people to pay for their property in cash, especially the younger couples.

 

As long as they are not over leveraging, can keep up a good quality of life, have enough for savings and investments, Why not? Especially when you see a good buy coming along.
