Cause buyer usually will cut price. If you asking low or near market price, the final price sold would not be high. Also who knows seller might get some stupid and rich people who like the house and willing to pay close to asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon. Ā Last time when we see 1m HDB, many people think it is crazy and it would only happen for 5 rm flat. Most people would think it would not go up anymore, but now you can find HDB sold at 1m plus commonly even for a 4 rm flat. Highest record should be around 1.5m. High chance it will continue to go up to 1.6m, 1.7m until 2m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High rental now i think mostly due to delay BTO/Condo, actually many locals are renting also, due to their new flat is delay. Some locals are renting also due to they have sold their house and still in searching for their new house. Rental not only for foreigners in current market like last time.

Staying near to town is good but not everyone would find it is convenience, must depends on where you work and where you usually hangout after work and on weekends. Some people seldom go to town area, so stay near town also no use. And some people is happy enough if there is shops and mall near their house, no need must go to town.

But no matter how far, the most it would take about 1 hour one way to go to town by public transport, but many times it maybe lesser than that. If you drive, travelling time even shorter. Ā People say far to go to town, could be these people do not stay near to MRT, need to take a bus to MRT, so the time wasted on waiting for bus already take 10-15 mins, then still need to add in the bus ride timing to MRT. Let's say you wait 10 mins for bus, then another 10-15 mins bus ride, already taken 20-25 mins on bus only. Then still must add in the MRT ride of 30 mins to town, so one way to town need to take 1 hour. This is "far''!Ā š Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
