Good afternoon Ella! It will depends on which location are you looking at. Pricing will differs according to floor level, unit condition, facing etc. Why not I ask my bankers to advise you on your in principle approval to gauge how much loan (up to 80%) can you obtain from banks? If you are able to obtain a 80% loan, 20& downpayment (5% cash and 15% CPF or cash) will be required. Btw how much CPF and cash do you both have on hand? Hope to hear from you guys soon! Cheers!

Afternoon Ella, To answer that question, I would require more details. Which estate are you looking at and what model unit would you prefer? How much loan can both of you get, based on your TDSR? How much CPF OA does both of you have at hand? Do feel free to contact me for non-obligatory discussion. Regards Mike Lim 96929209  m52i@yahoo.com ERA Read More

Hello Ella, Price for 3 bedroom resale HDB varies according to size, floor and location. As a guide for simpler calculation, let's take for example $400,000 as the valuation price, 25 year loan and assuming you have no other loan commitment (note the MSR and TDSR criteria would need to be fulfilled before bank could grant you the loan). 1) 80% max loan at 320K 2) 20% downpayment (min 5% cash, 15% CPF/cash) 3) A monthly mortgage payment of $1602 (your combined income assuming fixed income is more than sufficient to service this monthly loan) 4) Other cash requirement would be the a) cash over valuation if any b) stamp fees (ABSD+BSD = $26,600 if 4a=0) c) legal fees (~$3,000) c) mortgage insurance (can be from CPF) d) agent commission e) misc fees Do engage a professional realtor to guide you through the whole process of buying a resale HDB and guide you on your mortgage plan to ensure a smooth completion.
