U a obnoxious idiot.

You fired the first salvo, and tested my patience over and over again, till I could no longer stop myself from delivering what you deserve. You leave me alone, and I will reciprocate.

The resale market continues to act as a crucial outlet for unmet housing demand, especially for buyers who value immediacy or are not keen on the locations announced for the upcoming BTO exercises

Sinkie property market from I gather condo still best to play. Old hdb risk of returning back to gov and become worthless. Landed worth a lot of money but must wait, low liquidity then let's say in need of money, u need to sell at a chepo price.

The propaganda machinery keeps publishing such articles to artificially prop up property prices.

The great divide between 80% of S'poreans and the elite PAP politicians

Wonderful news! Truly Golden Era!

When a PAP Minister claims that his family lives in a remote location cut off from the high speed rail system and amenities which the majority of S'poreans enjoy, he means that he has a GCB in a leafy district like Bukit Timah, while the hoi polloi stay in HDB pigeon holes in overcrowded towns.

HDB is public housing that must not be used as a tool for speculation. There is a basic human requirement for the PAP to offer affordable public housing for S'poreans. I truly feel sorry for our children drawing stagnating wages when HDB prices are 3 times higher than 5 years ago. It seems like our fresh grads are forced to work till they drop dead to repay their student and public housing loans.

Consider it as $1.7m rent payment upfront but can sub-let at a later date to another sucker.,,,

I hear of young couples who urge their parents to use their retirement savings to fund their lavish purchase of a condo. Most of them won't be able to fully repay such loans before their parents pass on. I guess that may be part of their plan.

That is what the PAP intends for more than 80% of S'poreans who only lease a unit from the HDB, which has to be returned w/o any financial compensation one day.

One the left, HDB slums filled with sinkie sour grapes. On the right should be The Blossomvalue, haha!

 

[Sinkiesuk]

Tiongs say their hou even though is 70 yr but their gov will return them money or renew the lease, won't let them die.

 

[syed putra]

Yes, the view would be fantastic. But factor it the exposure to the relentless heat from the sun and uv rays, the full force of the rain and wind, the elevator travel time, possible lift breakdowns, etc, all make for a lousy proposition.

No dengue mosquito up there.

$1.73m HDB flat is at an acceptable absolute quantum.

Singaporeans very rich one. No scared one.

5-room unit in Henderson Road sold for S$1.73 million, new record for HDB resale flats
National record.

May 02, 2026, 11:55 AM​

A five-room Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat at 96A Henderson Road was sold for S$1.728 million in April 2026.

This sets a new record price for an HDB resale flat in Singapore, according to EdgeProp.

​

The unit spans 113 square metres (1,216 square foot), which means the sale was about S$1,421 per square foot.

In comparison, the previous record was S$1.7 million at S$1,295 per square foot, for a five-room flat at 92 Dawson Road sold in February.

About the flat​

Part of the City Vue @ Henderson estate, the unit is located at the very top of the block, between the 46th and 48th storeys.

The higher-floor units reportedly enjoy unblocked views to the Southern Waterfront, and even the Singapore Flyer and the Central Business District in the distance.

Additionally, the property still has a very long lease of 92 years and one month.

Apart from these factors, its convenient location might have also contributed to the high transaction price.

The flat is located between Redhill and Tiong Bahru stations, relatively near the city centre, both under a 10-minute walk away.

Also within the vicinity are several pre-schools and primary schools, hawker centres, and Henderson Community Club.

In 2022, another five-room resale unit on the 41st storey of the same block on Henderson Road was sold for S$1.4 million.
