Hi,
Based on your age and income (without taking into account the variable), you should be able to get at loan in excess of $1.3m. Which means you can purchase a property of more than $1.6m.
So, I would say it's not your loan that is stopping you into purchasing a higher quantum property. Rather, it is your CASH + CPF on hand that is restricting you on the purchase.
For every purchase, you will have to set aside downpayment of at least 20% of the purchase price. And because this is your second property, you will also need to set aside some money for Additional Buyer Stamp Duty (ABSD) if you're purchasing a residential property.
Also, do take note that should you have used your CPF monies for your current HDB, you will also be required to set aside Half-Minimum Sum before you can utilise further CPF monies for your second property.
Assuming a $600k condo purchase, you will need to set aside:-
1) 20% downpayment = $120,000
2) BSD = $$12,600
3) ABSD (Singaporean) = $42,000
4) Legal Fee = $2,500
Total = around $177k.
Based on you CPF + Cash, you have $190k. But I'm not sure if you have set aside you Half-Minimum Sum for your CPF. If you have not, you may not be able to purchase a $600k property even though you can loan up to $1.3m.
May I know what's your objectives of the purchase? Is it going to be you new home? Or are you looking at an investment angle?
