Hi,
It depends on the objective for this next purchase. Would you be planning to stay long term through your golden years and retire in it, feeling at peace that there are no longer any housing obligations? Or there could be a possibility that you may wish to move again and right size to another property when the kids are bigger.
Based on prevailing trends, it appears private property are holding up better in terms of value and capital preservation and is still resilient even amidst the headwinds created by the economic uncertainty. Older hdb prices are still on a downtrend although at a slower rate. Reason being HDB resale prices are kept in check by government policies, as well as the fact the fact that it reverts to zero value at the end of 99 year lease, and yet owners can't initiate any enbloc collective sale before that. As a result, both trends are diverging and this is why private property still has its demand.
If the finances are comfortable, and there is a possibility that you may move again next time, it might be good to have a discussion on the financial feasibility of all options.
May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.
Warm Regards,
Ivan Ng Realtor

I would like to compliment Mr Ivan Ng for his professional work and effort.I sent my first post in Jan 2019 and Ivan replied promptly, so I have decided to contact Ivan for follow up. My EC was not ready for sale due to MOP (another 3 months from Jan) at that time and Ivan was able to give me advices on how to proceed from there. Initially we have decided to try to write to HDB for early sale but since it was only 3 months left, eventually we waited for another 3 months while we looked for our next property. Ivan was able to arrange for new property showroom appointment at a timely manner while helping us to list for our EC for sale. We were a bit worried when our EC sale time was longer than expected due to trade war, but Ivan was able to reassure us that our EC would sell. By November, he managed to secure a buyer for our EC. Thank you.

I would like to express my appreciation to Ivan Ng for his excellent work. Ivan is a dedicated, client-focused, patient and sincere agent. Throughout the whole process of selling and looking for our next property, he has always acted very professionally that makes my wife and I feel at ease and assured. Ivan is not a pushy and hard sales agent. Ivan listens and understands our needs and carefully guided us through. We are fortunate to have Ivan as our agent. Thank you Ivan.
