Buy resale HDB when good time arrives if you can't enjoy the 1st HDB home.
After that think of buying overseas home.
hey bro, SORRY maybe my post is too serious, you have posted your most serious post ever. I remember you saying your job is stressful. chill man!
DREAMorACTION,
10k is very little for 500k home. Dont' save 10k and regretting 490k.
Don't be pressued by discount. Forget the discount and think.
I never buy home because attracted to free this and that. To me it is minimal.
My consideration always whether I buy still within value and appreciation potential. And in fact this is the hardest part.
Yes. bro. i do agree with many of the points you raised. human beings are never contented. I have many friends who stayed in landed and told me the same thing..."Landed is no big deal"...Similarly, many people in SG yearn to upgrade to a condo when they have a HDB, and as it turns out, having stayed at a condo before, i can categorically say that "staying in condo is also no big deal"..in fact i prefer my present HDB to my previous condo. Its like buying toys for my toddler kids, after playing for a while, they will chuck it one side and ask "whats next?"....
Ironically, people tend to treasure what they dont have and take for granted what they have. I always like the story of asking a Beijing resident whether have they climbed the great wall, and you will be surprised how many of them have not done it cos its in their own back yard and they feel they can go anytime while tourist from faraway places pay thousands just to visit the great wall. So to M'sians, landed can mean nothing cos it is so common and cheap there,..but in land scarce SG, it represents a breath of fresh air from the bird cages we have been born into.
cheers.
Yah bro agree. That's why I haven't rushed into it yet. Its all sales tactic to rush me but im not letting it to be my major concerns. Just pointing out that since i have identified the area and developement, i might as well take up the discount while its still ongoing, just that im having some obstacles from the closed ones, so still dangling at the moment. Mine is not for rental so I have lesser concerns than u.
Btw, from ur other post, there are indeed a lot of high rise development coming up in medini. Stay tune
I missed an opportunity buying private when my HDB was less than 3 years. Otherwise I could have pocketed at least SGD200k-300k profit in shorter time.hey thanks bro, it makes sense. however, my brother didnt go for gov subsidy and is now looking to purchase his 3rd private in SG within a year. I guess it depends on mileage and income level too.
Bro investor, u have my bets too :-) btw, do u know if this plan of 3rd link will be announced in jan too?
I see a new trend here. maybe 10 years ago, it would have been crazy for people to think of buying their first home in JB, but now single youths are seeing the possibility.
In doing so, I also have more money to spend on Coe, despite the high price. One step at a time, house first. Car is luxury. I can take busses easily to get into Sg. No big issue for now. It's really feasible and I know it will work

I've seen the floorplans for 2-bedder, that bad? It's 106 to 112sqm right? Bigger than the new 4-room HDB flats lol. Maybe the layout sucks? I don't know, quite subjective.
At 600k, it's kinda high compared to others in JB, but not really high compared to KL and Penang. If the whole project in west iskandar takes shape, it has more room to appreciate. (whereas for KL and penang, if global economy crisis hits, it has more room to crash. Prop don't crash same % in same country, depends on regions, types of housing)
Rental rates in JB is also very low compared to KL, Penang, so if Nusajaya continues to appreciate, so will rental.
Your 3.8% refers to rental yield, it's a different terminology to be used for property only, i.e. it does not get you the same % of returns when you compare to FD, you should compare to other prop rentals, but cannot compare to FD or other lump sum investments. The leveraging of money is totally different. (e.g. the first 1-2yrs before breakeven, no matter how high your rental, you're still losing money, after breakeven, your earnings scales up year by year, until property depreciate of coz)
Nope, no own home in Sg. Don't intent to have one either. Lifestyle is much better with more flexibility for having it in JB. I have no issue whatsoever for not having a home in Sg
Bro Investor, you could be right, BUT the supporting infrastructure would be additional cost as would have to upgrade access roads to there.
In fact they've already opened new roads leading into Pulau Punggol Barat.
One is an exit named 'Seletar West Link' along SLE, take this exit and you'll go all the way into Pulau Punggol Barat(this is not Punggol residential estate).
The other entrance is via Punggol Way(Punggol residential estate) which will also lead you into Pulau Punggol Barat.
A certain part of the road inside Pulau Punggol Barat(Seletar North Link) has 3 lanes on each directions.
See Goggle map
SG property is at dangerous levels now, any global crisis will start the spark of downward momentum, and we've yet to see the effects of recent cooling measure.hey thanks bro, it makes sense. however, my brother didnt go for gov subsidy and is now looking to purchase his 3rd private in SG within a year. I guess it depends on mileage and income level too.
many of us were once like him. Sometimes it's not about the place, it's about the people. JB hasn't changed much, but the community has perhaps changed the most in the last decade. His second post was a little more polite, maybe he has started reading from page 1.
Hello bro, u r finally back here? So busy over renotalk ah.
Erm u haven try u won't know u can endure e daily commuting leh. Not tat easy. We sinkies has been pampered so long in sg with world class transport (pooi) , jb one is not tat convenient leh. Unless u buy setia Eco which is near to the causeway bus area else other developements are not so convenient. Do like wat wuqi done before , stay in hotel nearby n try to see u can tahan e traveling before u commit lor.
