The valuation is what the banks/HDB will base the loan amount on. The COV is basically what the market will bear. When enough people buy with the higher COV after a couple of months, they end up being revalued and the process starts over again. Unless you have a situation like we had by the end of 1998 after the '97 crash. High valuations but no buyers. In a lot of cases, people were into negative equity as they couldn't sell at valuation even. (I bought my flat at valuation 12.5 years ago following the financial meltdown - 332K) I just checked while writing my last post and the valuation today is around 420K I guessing as the last four sales in my estate for similar flats were between 420 & 475K during the last 12 months. I'm guessing my flat would value around 420/450K now. Once the LUP is finished next year I reckon it should go up another 10 or 20K as well (course a lot will depend on if we get the damned WP out of Aljunied in 5 years though).
