[@deskuah]

hehe thanks for making this video! It’s very helpful! I’m also in my resale hunting journey! Good luck to ussss 🎉

[@burnttcocoa]

Ahh all the best to you too!! 🫶🏻 hope that we can both find a place to call home soon.

[@hhspore]

you seem like a very sensible young lady so I am sure you will make the best choice ! good luck !

[@burnttcocoa]

I hope so!! Thank you 🫰🏻

[@Ethelin1122]

actually for my case I got an buyer agent! Because they are just like lawyers for property deals. Ensure everything is streamline.... At least no stress on house hunting...

[@steventay5834]

I bought a balance brand new flat for $50000. A five room flat in Yishun. 10 mins walk to MRT. Today, is worth $600+k.

Great informative video. Now is mine turn to start the journey 1st by watching your video :) hmm but from the start you went for the BTO also not confirm you will get it.

[@burnttcocoa]

All the best!!! 😊🫶🏻

I feel like you and your bf/husband is like me and my fiancé, I'm also the type where if I see something I like and I find the price reasonable, I'll just buy it. While she is like you, prefer to shop around more to see if there's something better/cheaper before making a purchase 😅

Please don't overpay for a nicely renovated house if you're planning to reno everything

[@burnttcocoa]

Ok I try 🥲

@@burnttcocoa have u bought a unit? If not means u need to apply for HFE?

[@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

A Nicely renovated home can certainly save a significant amount of money in the short to medium term after such a pricey initial home purchase, so it’s definitely an important factor to consider.

[@steventay5834]

Good to diy but better for you to pay an admin fee to have an agent to do. Maybe $500.

Sbf is like an addiction. I also tried few times of sbf. Before deciding for bto

[@burnttcocoa]

Omg ikr. It’s a gamble haha

[@steventay5834]

Why have to wait 5-6 years? Not acceptable During my time (in 1980+), there are many balance flats to chose but not in good location. I chose a 5-room flat in Yishun on the 2nd floor.

[@victorcdr1387]

You can also apply for BTO and rent for 2/3 years

[@burnttcocoa]

We did consider this too! But it didn’t make sense for our situation :(

[@LeylahLeung]

which estate was the flat that was facing the mountain and the sea? telok blangah?

[@burnttcocoa]

Sky peak!

No worry. I bought my first resales HDB at 160k, my mum next block same size bought at 20k many year ago😅😅😅. End up I sold for 320k😂😂😂 soon standard HDB will be 2 million. You Huat, I Huat, every body huat! Vote PAP!

[@burnttcocoa]

sell high also buy high though 🥲

[@steventay5834]

I prefer low floor

[@davidlee3806]

Smart move for not waiting for BTO. The cost of handling children with special needs outweighs the profit from BTO.

[@mahandranparamasivam73]

Why must this cmio be. In cmio everywhere Chinese will be in majority.who is benefiting

[@wenhaowu23]

Can be cheap, location good, and big. But your lease will be 59 years and below. The loan quantum for singles to buy resale to borrow full. Agent wise, if it save u enough time in comparison to how much resale index grew, it's always worth it. After finished viewing the video, you guys have a car. Can forego location if you guys not giving up the car in near future. Ps. Last unit looks like skypeak view @ bukit batok

[@user-kp4dh8gi5f]

time to restrict PRs to buy HDB resale flats, PR can only rent flat, cannot buy.

[@choonhockong8215]

You are right. The root cause of this problem. Priority for locals, sg citizens.

[@greenpepper5883]

Wtf....
