Hi, everyone have their own preferences, and while this kind of condo doesn't appeal to some, it has a appeal to others. Some of the buyers do not have a preference for the view of the unit, but chose a condo for the privacy it gives, the facilities it offers, and other reasons they find it worthy.

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

Hi,

I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, it’s not the facilities that differentiate the 2 but rather a HDB flat is not deemed as an investment.

Good day to you,

Some buyers have specific requirements for Fenghsui and cladding. Others foresee the growth and potential of the unit. In any market, willing sellers meet willing buyers. One man's trash can be another man's treasure.

There are a lot of different buyers in the market, and HDB might not be an option for some of these buyers; even for resale units. It doesn't make sense to compare them given the restrictions. Some of these include:

1. High earners below 35 YO
2. Single PRs
3. Foreigners looking to settle in Singapore (although ABSD of 60% have hit them hard)
4. Current private property owners who cannot own even resale without 15months wait out.

Moreover, there is typically more HDB supply than condo over the years. Over 2021-2024, HDB has built more than 63,000 units compared to the 21,000 in private units over the same period.

They aren't the only reason, but it's basically fair to view some condos as a luxury product with different supply and demand economics than HDB, contributing to its different price and later on, growth potential even if they are in the same area. Like how people buy Iphones over $200 redmis i guess.

1. Buyers prioritize different factors beyond just the view or price. For some, privacy, luxury, and amenities justify the higher cost.

2. Condos offer features like better security, exclusive facilities, and a sense of community that many find valuable, even if the view isn't ideal.

3. Some buyers see it as an investment, believing that property in certain areas will appreciate over time, despite the initial price difference.

There is no right or wrong when it comes to the decision of buyers. What you can buy now with $1.6m with current market, i think is limited too if you are looking at 3 bedroom units. If you don't buy, then what should you do? Do you have alternatives investment to look into? Perhaps you have but not others, or they may not be comfortable with alternative investments.

Hi,

1) The time has changed. It was true that a condo which facing HDB flat has a lower value in the past.
2) The land in Singapore for residential will be reduced as time goes by.
3) The population for Singapore has to keep growing in order to be competitive in today's context.
4) It is not the facility that cost much. It is the status and the difference in capital growth that brings HDB flat and a condo apart.
5) To compare the growth rate of HDB flat and condo, we used the psf in 2004 to begin till today:
(a) HDB flat: $235 psf grew 174%
(b) Condo: $584psf grew 259%
Using a 1,000sqf to understand the difference:
HDB flat cost $235,000 in 2004 now can sell for $408,900 (x1.74) in 2025
Condo cost $584,000 in 2004 now can sell for $1,512,560 (x2.59) in 2025

6) It was difficult to find data unlike today, most of the data are readily available.
7) Thus, the people are buying for their future other than the facilities and status.

All The Best!!!
