Hi,

If you have a condo, you can purchase resale hdb, just that you need to sell off the condo within 6 months after key collection to hdb.

Sure, many have done so to cash out and secure their retirement, it makes perfect sense to do so. The kind of hdb that suits is subjective, as some prefer mature estates with more amenities while some prefer newer condition flats.

May I understand your plans further so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Hi,

That's a good idea - you'd just have to calculate your sales proceeds to have a clearer picture of the outcome.

Feel free to contact me at your convenience, and I can assist you with that.

Thanks and regards,

Good afternoon,

We should understand if you are using the funds from your current unit to facilitate the purchase or are you getting loan first and repaying it later. Based on your budget and required sizing, you are likely looking at bigger sized 3 room flat or smaller model 4 room unit.
For retirement aspect, you will have additional liquid cash at hand for other type of investments.

Do feel free to contact me for detail discussion.

Hi

It will be pre-mature to advise from base on the above information.

You may call 9620 0827  for a non-obligatory discuss to understand your requirements and then explore the options.

Dear sir/madam,

Theoretically, it is a sensible plan to move ahead, however, since we are unsure of the financial standings for both your spouse and you, it is premature to say whether it is logical or not. It is unfair to be assuming the scenario and give out the inaccurate advises which may mislead you to make a wrong decision.

Options after selling :

1. Rent a hdb studio for senior , basically paying 30 years rent upfront at 80k-170k .

Good evening,

Care to share more information so I am in a better position to evaluate and offer a few suggestion for you to choose from?

Do take note that HDB is 99 leasehold and price will tend to depreciate as it gets older.

Perhaps let me know more about your current property, your retirement plans, your future plans (kids' education, annual holidays) so my suggestions will be tailored constructively to your needs.

Just to share!

Only a one time sign up, you will be able to receive a free SMS update on the value of your home and neighborhood from me on a monthly basis.

Hi Sir/Mdm,

This is a logical option if you are nearing your retirement age or has already retired. By cashing out on your condo, you will be able to fully pay off your HDB, have a shelter above your head and not worry about monthly repayment and also have some spare cash for retirement needs.

Under current regulations, you just have to sell off your condo within 6 months from the completion of the purchase of a resale HDB.

As for the age of the HDB, I would consider location as more important as compared to the age of the HDB. As long as the remaining lease is more than 60 years, you should be fine. The location is important as a HDB in a good location will be able to attract strong demand in the future. In the long run, if you have any change of housing plans, you can be assured that your HDB will be able to retain its value and also appreciate.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and assist you further!!
