666 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 Its ok..one man's meat is another man's poison. At the time when i ballot, i was desperately looking for a unit as the resale market is overheated...however by the time the ballot results came out. resale market had cooled down bit..so wen we saw a resale unit which met all our criteria. We went ahead with it & purchased. Anyway its ok, we gave up a chance to stay there but then allows some1 else to stay there..we're fine with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yokoyoko 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Did you play a part in influencing HDB's recent decision on new housing balloting scheme? (1), (2) - size vs costs is a tough one, it is unlikely to find a big unit selling at your "right" price. (3) can't blame hdb. Their mission is to house a targeted 6.5 million people in a tiny 682.7 sq km. (4) if property investment is your priority, hdb is not a good investment vehicle. (5) is it really that bad? Try living overseas in certain cities, you will feel the difference. Nothing is perfect... With all the misfortunes and sad events happening around the world, perhaps we should feel gratitude for things like a roof over our heads... just my 2 cents. sound logical.. u r my new idol ... Lime green sound like linear green ...fishy... Its ok..one man's meat is another man's poison.

cacky 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 I guess there's really no such thing as an ideal flat. It's what you make inside that matters, be it on the 2nd floor or the 17th floor. We didn't get ourselves a flat that we considered was a dream unit but my hubby and I feel that what matters is the people living in the home. There will always be pros and cons, be it whichever unit you want. There are people who spend a long time searching for resale units for their ideal unit. But it also depends on whether time is on your side or money, for that matter. COV these days are ridiculously high. Gone are the days where it's probably 10 to 11k. Even if there is, you'd seriously doubt and wonder if there's any problems with the unit. The key is contentment and making the best use of the unit you have. It took me a long time to accept this unit and also a lot of convincing from my hubby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

effie 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 wow..bedok central community..so fast. I got queue number 88 for 5 room unit, but i gave up for the following factors. 1)Unit too small, i went thrice to see 3x 5rm unit at diff blks bit dissapointed. 2)Price too expensive for 5rm, no grant,standard flat 3)Units too cramped together. 4)Really hard to forsee the 5rm will sell above 0.5million or more depends on how much u loan. 5) If suay get unit facing mrt & main road..noise & pollution b a problem. but got pros as well la..tink u guys knoe best. Thanks for giving up!! My q nos is 100+, if there isn't people like u, i wont have a chance to get my unit.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LimeGreen 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 sound logical.. u r my new idol ... Lime green sound like linear green ...fishy... Idol? No lah, juz 知足常乐 since we cannot get what we like, let us like what we can get. Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have. don't tell anyone I am from the garmen (gov). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSA 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Found a blog that describes the owner's experience & journey of renovating his 1982 HDB 4I Resale Flat and it's current with pictures! For those researching on air-con (this is one of the most technical aspect I've encountered so far), here's CoolServe's Cool advisor. Check out its FAQ section too! For specifications of some brands air-cons, here's AireControl. It has a FAQ section too. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries air-con is one of the most affordable ones. Daikin is the most expensive.
