1. budget 350k looking for resale HDB, i only can get 3 room in tampines with building year +/-1986 but in Serangoon, Hougang, Sengkang, Punggol might get 4 room with building year +/-2000. Which one better for future with Gov.Planning ?

5% : cash 17.5k SGD
15% : CPF 52.5k SGD

is there any simple illustration to show sequence and timing (3-5 months) ? e.g : start when dealing with seller,give downpayment, ask IPA bank loan, lawyer bank, form withdraw OA CPF board, pay BSD, pay ABSD, until hand over seller to me.

3. As Singapore PR, i try to calculate BSD & ABSD roughly require 28k-30k SGD. IS this can be use OA CPF ?

Hi,

If its for own stay, I would recommend you to find a location which suits your lifestyle and workplace requirements, and not put too much emphasis on the potential investment value. After all, the government has come out to mention that they like to keep hdb prices affordable in the long-run and that double-digit growth for HDB resale prices is unlikely in the future.

Typical breakdown for SPR household purchasing HDB resale as follows:

Cash 5%
CPF 15%
Stamp Duties and Legal Approx 8%
Max Bank Loan 80%
Agent commission 1%+GST
Cash over valuation (if any)

Typical time taken to process the paperwork is about 4 - 5 months, excluding the house-search period. I will be glad to share more on the illustration of the timeline.

I have worked with SPR clients and will be glad to share more. 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,
