Good afternoon,

You can apply for new EC/ BTO if its TOP date is on/ after May 2020 because you didnt utilise CPF housing grant.

Housing grant for new EC will be $20k for SC/ SPR as of current regulations for combined gross income up to $10k. It will be $30k for SC/ SC.

It's too early to judge whats the best option for you as your MOP date is still 3 years down the road. But based on current market condition, it will be best to opt for EC or private. It could/ might be the same option for the next few years.

Do you know why?

Dear Sir/Mdm,

You may book an EC project as long as the TOP of the EC is later than your MOP date. You will be eligible for an additional grant of $20,000 with your income level.

EC is a good upgrading option which offers very good upside potential. Historical data has shown that majority of EC owners are able to achieve a decent profit after selling their EC. I can email you this report for you to take a read.

I have assisted many of my clients to upgrade from a HDB to an EC. There are quite a number of EC projects available on the market current, please feel free to share with me further your objectives so that I can share with you some options with upside potential.

Regards,
Nick Tan
