Hi, the timeline for the whole process usually depends on the demand for the unit, but in general 6months is enough for a sale of flat to be successfully done. You can keep in contact with an agent first, and engage his services when you are closer to key collection date( only if you are not using contra, if you are using contra you will have to sell the unit before you can collect the key).

Hi, hopefully you managed to get your doubt or query answered. If so, then congrats! Hopefully you are doing well now.

By 2027, the market could be drastically different thus it will not be appropriate for us to give you the timeline for decision making.

As far as I am concern, if you are selling the property now, with right planning and positioning, the unit should sell in under 2 months unless location of the unit is not ideal. In fact I just sold a unit in under 1 month for a Simei HDB that I was marketing.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 years 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.

Hi,

Typically 3 to 6 months before BTO key collection will be sufficient. Do you need your sale proceeds to come in first before you have funds to complete the purchase of the BTO as well as key collection?

Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 homeowners transit smoothly with their housing plans. Please reach out to me at 97432395  for a more in-depth discussion :)

May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

Here's the breakdown for selling your current HDB flat and the timeline for your plan:

**Selling your HDB Flat:**

* **Average Time:** The average time to sell an HDB flat in Singapore can vary depending on several factors like location, flat type, market conditions, and pricing strategy. While 6 months is a possibility, it can be shorter or longer. Here's a more detailed range:
* **3-4 months:** This is a good scenario where there's strong buyer demand for your flat type and location, and your pricing is competitive.
* **6-8 months:** This is a more typical timeframe, especially for flats that might require more viewings or negotiations.
* **Above 8 months:** It could take longer to sell your flat if factors like location, condition, or pricing aren't ideal.

* **Key Factors:** Here are some things that can influence the selling time:
* **Market Conditions:** A hot property market with high demand can lead to faster sales.
* **Pricing Strategy:** Setting a realistic asking price based on market value attracts serious buyers.
* **Presentation:** A well-maintained and well-presented flat is more appealing to potential buyers.
* **Agent Experience:** A skilled property agent can help you with marketing, negotiations, and navigating the HDB resale process.

**Timeline for Your Plan (Assuming Jan 2028 BTO Completion):**

* **June 2027:** This might be a bit early to start actively looking for a property agent. However, you can start researching agents and shortlist a few with good reputations and experience in your area.
* **End of 2027 or Early 2028:** This is a more realistic timeframe to seriously engage a property agent. They can help you value your current flat, develop a sales strategy, and prepare for the market closer to your BTO completion date.
* **3-4 Months Before BTO Completion:** This allows sufficient time to list your flat, conduct viewings, and potentially secure a buyer with an Option to Purchase (OTP).
* **Jan 2028 (BTO Completion):** Ideally, your current flat should be sold by the time you collect your keys for your new BTO flat. This allows a smooth handover process.

**Here are some resources that you might find helpful:**

* **HDB Resale Flat Selling Guide:** [https://www.hdb.gov.sg/residential/selling-a-flat/overview](https://www.hdb.gov.sg/residential/selling-a-flat/overview) This guide provides a step-by-step overview of the HDB resale process.
* **Finding a Property Agent:** Most property agencies in Singapore have online directories. You can search for agents in your area and read client reviews to help you shortlist potential candidates.

Remember, the timeline can vary depending on market conditions and the specific details of your situation. However, the above information should give you a general idea and a starting point for your planning.

Hi Sir/Mdm,

It typically takes about 3 months to secure a buyer at a good price. For your case, I will usually advise my client to only list the HDB for sale close to the key collection date. This is so that my clients will be able to transit directly from their current HDB to the new flat without the need for an interim place and also have some buffer time for moving and renovation.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can explain to you the process and timeline in greater details!

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients

“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically, he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”
Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

I write to commend Nick Tan (R040814C). When my husband and I first met Nick, we were impressed by his drive, commitment, business acumen and strategical thinking, and decided to engage him. We were not disappointed. Nick sourced for prospective quality buyers in a targeted methodical fashion and was effective in connecting us with serious buyers, notwithstanding the fact that the search primarily took place over Dec – Feb (a traditional lull period). Throughout the transaction, he also gave us helpful advice in various aspects; the advice reflected his personal experience and expertise and was not simply regurgitated from public sources without any value-add. Further, Nick went beyond the call of duty of a competent professional. He had a sense of humanity in the way he interacted with myself and the other parties to the transaction such as my parents. As an example, my newborn daughter was warded into A&E on the completion date of the transaction; the care and concern that Nick showed went beyond the scope of work of an estate agent. I commend Nick for his capabilities and character, and would certainly wish to engage him for future property transactions.
Weilun & Benita (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations. We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”

Hi,

The speed at which you can sell your HDB generally hinges on factors such as demand for your unit and its pricing position. However, typically, a period of six months should be adequate to find a good buyer.

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
-- My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by
your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several
agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling
the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole
dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a
trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would
gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation
should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--
Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller)

--Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and
looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will
certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--
Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)

--Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our
neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed
potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the
process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very
thankful for--
Aaron ( HDB seller)

--Jenny was very passionate and went the extra miles to help. Thanks to her professional advice and
recommendations, I had finally found my dream home--

Yvonne (New launch buyer)

--Appreciate Jenny's clear and prompt communication style with us and other stakeholders. She was
also patient and client-centered throughout the process of finding a home that met our criteria. As a
first-time home buyer, we appreciate how she went out of her way to explain the process and
answer questions we had--
