Just to share among: I bought a resale 5rm pt-point,31 year old, 118sqm, in BN in Aug09, for $518K+$10K cov. Near to mkt/mrt etc. B4 this, have viewed abt 8 units (somewhere nearby)but not to my likes. I was the 1st viewer to this unit and deal closed within 10 minutes. Downpayment & OTP exercised on same day! Bishan case, fool himself as well as others. Genius buyers sure do their home work. Another sharing: I managed to sell my 3-year old condo, 1270sqf for $850k, after almost 15~20 different viewers. Got offers @ $870k, $860K, $850k, etc. But why sold to this particular buyer?

I learned a lesson by hard with property tax: I bought a condo, stay in & rent out 5 rm flat. 5rm was charged 4%, condo 10%! I appealled & reversed to 5 rm 10%, condo-5%. 3 years back I sold my 1st hand 5 rm and now just sold the condo (3 year old) and waiting for my 1st appointment for a 31 year-old point blk 5-rm which costs me $518K + $10K cov. Have calculated, can save me abt $107/monthly on maintenance fee(sinking + management fee) vs conservancy charges + carpark. Any comments?
