I don't think they will care about the consequence of traffic by building huge residential units there. You see they always like to build huge cluster of HDB without improving the existing roads first.

I see one of the BTO site in the Oct BTO exercise, there are going to build over 1800 units in Yuan Ching area. Good luck to the people staying there next time, i don't think the roads there can handle since the existing traffic there already super high esp during the peak.

 All it needs is proper road planning. Pinnacle@duxton has also 1800+ units right in the city centre. The jam there, if any, is pretty normal jam.

No wonder TFR so low 

Single scheme for the 2 rm BTO since implemented 10 years ago, the demand has always been strong and don’t think got come down.

Think esp from this BTo onward, single can apply for any BTO site, this pushes more single to apply and maybe want to profit when they sell later due to better location?!

All the so-called grants given from past to current have always been paid by the seller through higher priced-in asking price by buyer. Just lead to price going higher and higher. Oh man, still lost touch what is happening on ground. 

They will tell you, willing seller willing buyer la. No one is forcing anyone to buy. 😂

there are many "ways" la ... not i say one ...

sell 1 and buy private property with 1 name (no absd) ...

if 2rm hdb mop liao ... keep 1 unit for rental income to fund the private property ...

another way is buy resale with 1 owner  + 1 occupier scheme ...

not sure occupier can still hold on to the existing hdb

If buy house with 1 name, surely no need to sell the HDB. But the married couple must agreed lo, cos if the house no name, like no security? Lol.

Think rental gain from 2 room flat don’t think much. Don’t know what is the demand of people renting a 2 room hdb?! People might prefer to rent a 1 bedder condo.

Wrong, he says hdb is the best deal you can get as a citizen of singapore.  I am born and bred citizen of Singapore, who is disallowed to get hdb. 
 

regarding the sup sup water part, even without any grant or without using cpf, it is sup sup water for T2.  
anyway Who the f**k is this T2 by the way?  I keep seeing this bugger pop up in MCF posts….

We Make $400k Per Year And Own A Bidadari HDB: Should We Look At 2 Properties Instead Of 1 Freehold Landed?

I’m writing to seek some advice on our next home purchase. My family of three (with another one on the horizon) is currently living in a 4 bedroom hdb in bidadari. Its been great, and we are aware that our area is generating alot of interest in the news. We have enjoyed our stay so far, great facilities for children, proximity to MRT stations and other great amenities. For legacy planning for our kids, my wife and I have been contemplating buying a freehold property for our next home, or buying two properties (one for investment potentially), where one could be freehold. 

We are around 35 years old. Our family’s yearly household income is currently about $400k, and we do still have an outstanding loan of around $400k on the current hdb left, with the MOP ending in ~3 years. We do not have any major loans on hand. 

We do have around $700k in cash and stocks, and have also around $500k in CPF. We have been looking out for new launch condos with 4 or more bedrooms (just for experience), but we considered the feasibility of landed properties as well, just that we are concerned with the high prices, as well as the uncertain maintenance costs. 

Can we seek your quick thoughts and advice on this? And whether it makes sense to get two properties instead of 1 freehold? 

Of course, any decision we make is on our own volition and Stackedhomes will not be liable for our choices. 

We thought that there might be a large number of readers interested in the Bidadari estate because its been in the news recently, and many readers who share a similar earning portfolio as us, who might be exploring options in the future. 

Alternatively, if there is another article that you have written that is similar, we would appreciate it if you could share that with us, as i wasn’t able to find a similar write up.
