Icedbs Turbocharged July 30, 2019 Share July 30, 2019 True la, but ultimately both also make money lo. Depending you bought when. I show a chart below on Avg $PSF gain for ALL HDB vs AL EC Since 2013, HDB resale till now is -11% in prices. EC is +10% from 2013 till now. If we look at the last 10 years, EC gain is double the appreciation rate compare to HDB. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without adjusting for that, the 10% is meaningless. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showster Twincharged July 30, 2019 Share July 30, 2019 There comes a time when all CMs are no longer effective and yet new CMs can no longer be added. Too cheap will cause all private to be sold out to foreigners at low price. Who benefits in the end? In any case, a HDB stake grants the owner a bigger piece of stake in our country as compared to private (for the same amount of funds committed). As long as Govt gets this part correct, we will not encounter what we see in HK. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't quite matter where the new ECs are today, they will always remain popular as a form of subsidize housing. A decade or two ago, who would think that places like Punggol or SengKang would ever make money? The first round of BTO owners there already made their pot of gold. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic July 30, 2019 Share July 30, 2019 (edited) well said. there is a price “gap” between EC vs PC at least smelly smelly 20-25% can always capitalise that gap the one thing i dislike EC is the big size nothing less than a BTO blocks .. lol Edited July 30, 2019 by Wt_know 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

therock Supersonic July 30, 2019 Share July 30, 2019 We will have a lot of 想当年。。 When my place used to cost half what it is now .. We will still be asset rich but how many average joe can benefit from this price increase Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wind30 Turbocharged July 31, 2019 Share July 31, 2019 We will have a lot of 想当年。。 When my place used to cost half what it is now .. We will still be asset rich but how many average joe can benefit from this price increase I think the government needs to reign in the prices. U think the unrest in Hong Kong is about the extradition bill? I think it’s just the younger generation getting fed up with their standard of living caused by high property prices.... Singapore must not go down that route. I mean years ago people here is always quoting Hong Kong as example of how high the prices can go.... In Singapore we are really alone. If people gets fed up enough to protest, say bye bye to Singapore prosperity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showster Twincharged July 31, 2019 Share July 31, 2019 (edited) Why should Govt rein in prices further just for foreigners to buy?What has been done and continues to be done is that HDB bedrock must remain accessible to 95% of population. There is a home for everyone, 30 sqm or 40 sqm notwithstanding. Remaining 5-10%, rental flats will ensure they have a place to stay.Why lower prices further for big conglomerate bosses to come here and sweep up everything?

Showster Twincharged July 31, 2019 Share July 31, 2019 That's why I was puzzled when you wrote "big size"... Anyway, the only time I ever slept in king size bed was in hotel stays.

Or why should lower prices more for the super rich to pay in full cash? A run up is healthy and really way overdue to even the game a little. https://www.straitstimes.com/business/property/singapore-rich-kids-are-ending-up-with-penthouses-as-parents-skirt-taxes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showster Twincharged July 31, 2019 Share July 31, 2019 Can still put lah, but why put if one does not feel the need? Space optimisation is preferred for modern living. ok, cant even fit a KING size bed is simply a figurative speech yes ... i like king size and i want to put king size bed but those no need ... it means the room is sibei small put in a queen bed cant even fit a study table + cabinet that's why now all stylo mylo kopi-o ... with storage under bed ... pull out storage ... raised floor ...
