Dear sir/madam,

There is no outright answer to your question because there is still some factors that may swing the decision either way.

1) Age of 3 room flat you are targeting to purchase and price
2) Your intended holding period for this 3 room flat

Above 2 factors are the main factors that can make a difference to which options you should choose. While it is difficult to project how prices of resale market will hold in the near future, the key thing to understand here is that if you go for room rental for another year or so, assuming that the room rental is at $550 per month, your outlay that cannot be recovered will be $6,600, while assuming you are purchasing a 3 room resale HDB at $300,000, where your initial outlay is $75,000 assuming you are undertaking maximum loan, your monthly instalment works out to be about $745 per month (assume interest rate at 1.2%). If you were to rent out 1 of the common room at $550, your monthly outlay will be $195 and this amount can still be recovered in the event that you sell this 3 room flat in the near future, which essentially may turn into a profit for you too.

Take note that above are just assumed scenarios and that it is still important to run through your exact requirements and finances before determining your best option.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 10years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!

Hi,

1) If you are buying for your own stay, there is no point to wait out.
2) Although I cannot say I can forecast when the HDB price is going to settle down. But one thing I'm sure of is once it's settled down it will still be higher than the current price.
3) According to the latest information from the HDB is the building speed remains slow, and this cannot be corrected within the next 3 years, due to the nature of the industry.
4) Unless suddenly a new technology surfaces in that could speed up the building process.
5) Current the lego building method (PPVC - Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction) is already a great improvement compared to the past.
6) Therefore my suggestion is to go ahead with your buying plan, but negotiate carefully so as not to over-commit in your purchase.

7) Prepare yourself by doing the below before setting out to buy:
(a) Register "Intent to Buy", valid for 1 yr: https://services2.hdb.gov.sg/webapp/BB31AWDashboardWeb/BB31PLogin.jsp
(b) Apply for HLE, valid for 6 months: https://www.hdb.gov.sg/cs/infoweb/-/media/doc/EAPG-COS/retrieve-draft-hle-application.pdf

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more query, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Hi,

If affordability is not an issue, I would strongly advise you to purchase rather than rent.

This is because there is no guarantee that the prices will drop more than what you will be paying in rent for the next one year. If prices continue to rise until next year, you will be purchasing at a higher price. Or will you tell yourself to rent for yet another year?

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi
Analysts have stated that besides the delay in BTO construction causing a surge in resale market, a time lag impact of HDB giving more grants to first timer buyers buying a resale is another reason for the hike in HDB resale prices. BTO and Sales of Balance continues to be oversubscribe and it might take few years for HDB to keep up with the demand. Till then HDB prices might continue to rise though at a slower rate. I am well specialised in HDB transactions and the vast majority of my buyers managed to secure a house without COV despite the current market situation. I have also served a couple of single buyers like yourself. Do contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory discussion on this,
