dagger168 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2011 My colleages, North Oaks, just turn 10 years this year, got party last month. Grant = 40k Yes grant was 40k back in 1999 i think. Just before they reduce by 1k a month after that till today's 30k. Bought mine for under 440k 3br and now should have no problem selling 700k+ but after that what's the cost of a replacement? buy a similar size condo in sembawang or yishun for 1m? You can only make $$$ if you have 2 properties or choose to downgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One- its not new. Two- U wun earn. Three- U wait lah. 2003- I buy the eden at 46700 for a 1184 sq ft, 3 bedder. I have the 30k grant, and i no need pay back when i sell...or do i? didnt check... 2010- i sell for 768000. Not sure i earn how much cos i quite dumb in calculation (i.e the wat intesrest lah..the tax lah etcetc.)i just know i can upgrade to a similar 3bedrm in tpayoh. No need long distance to/from work liao. ut of cos need to top up some from cpf lah...cos i buy at slightly less than a million. Only one advice for u. Now timing is not ripe. U have to wait for another recession. Year 2003 is a recession year. PLs have some patience. I predict maybe next year coming cos europe now many countries having deficit. cheers.

therat 18 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 Late 1970, HDB 5 rm( actually 33k) sold at this price. I just start my primary school. Only had 20 cents as pocket money. 33K.. sky money to me. That time 10 cents can buy mee. Now 10 cents buy what? 3 min public phone call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
