EC is meant to cater to the sandwich class of hdb upgraders.
A lot of people are jealous that EC buyers are infact allowing the upper middle or higher class, people who can make downpayment of 1million for the bigger 4-5bedder, profitting off subsided ECs.
that’s another discussion altogether.
Government already clam down on the bto lottery effect and the million dollar hdb issue with the introduction of PLH.
Won’t surprise me to see tweaks to EC coming soon to curtail this huge downpayment requirement issue, in additional to rising the income ceiling to 18k.
How exactly, not sure but some ideas:
1) scrap the EC scheme
2) increase MOP like PLH
3) similar crawl back profits like PLH
4) restricting size/quantum in view of income ceiling of ec requirement
5) sale of ec to only ec eligible buyers like PLH
faster buy the current EC scheme, I think it’s coming to an end soon. If this does happen, existing resale EC prices will chiong even further
