Buy first or sell first? I own a HDB and intend to get a resale flat. Question is to buy or sell first. If sell first, afraid that I may not be able to buy a resale in time to move in, considering renovations take time too. If buy first, I may not have enough cpf and cash for the 40% and COV. What options do I have?

Morning 2ndtimer,

Usually I will suggest my clients to sell first and find a temporary accommodation either with their family or rental. If you sell and buy at the same time, you might make some impulsive decisions such as selling at a undesirable price because you have seal the deal as you you place option money for another property or you have to offer a high price than other buyers because you have accepted option money for your current unit.

By selling first, you will not have any problems getting up to 80% bank loan.

The question are you willing to shift house twice? (first to rental unit then wait for the new resale flat to be renovated and move again)

If you still more keen in buying and selling at the same time, I will love to assist you to make sure you meet the right timing but do take note, ongoing renovations will be a concern.

Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance. Hope I can assist you with your property needs.

Warmest Regards,

Afternoon,

Most of the people who are sharing the same pair of shoes would sell first and getting a temporary lodging while hunting for a unit at the same time.

Since moving on is an essential for your family and you, but the cash component is your major hurdle, clear that to move on. Other arrangements can be made to make your resale, purchase and move easier.
