Can share your thoughts?

I have a fully-paid up HDB. No outstanding loan.
Just bought a condo at D19 (Sengkang/Punggol) before announcement of ASBD (11-Jan) to avoid the hefty 7%.

Is is advisable to
1) forfeit 25% of deposits paid before exercising TOP/S&P and to wait for property to drop (if any)? This option however require more cash upfront to buy due to 7% ASBD.
2) just bite the bullet and exercise OTP?

Morning,

From your statement, am I right to say that you did not work out your financial holding ability prior purchase of the unit? If you have purchased the unit in haste and did not consider into your financial status, work on it and see if it will work out. If not, forcing through might not benefite you either.

Dear sir/madam,

I believe your concern is on the pricing of the condo, whether will the market see a correction great enough for you to warrant such a thought. May I first ask if you had bought this property as a home or purely an investment tool? I believe you should have already done a fair share of financial calculations and can easily afford the unit as long as income remains stable. The question will be how much will this property generate in terms of returns as an investment option. Right now, no one can be sure what the impact will be from the recent round of measures implemented. To forfeit your 25% deposit paid would be rather silly to do so since the future remains unclear. You'll likely be cursing and swearing should the trend continues upwards for deposit forfeiture.
