can't really rely on bukit batok being the next hub.. haven't heard on such plans so far. at least, not for the near (5-10yr) future. comparing the 2, i would say clementi is a better bet. instant "earn" once you get the flat

yeah, clementi one will have the highest resale value by far of the lot.
furthermore always got rental potential due to NUS/poly/industrial park being nearby. Will never have a shortage of tenants (I'm from NUS last time)

but for bukit batok gotta see the design and layout first, if it's like pinnacle or similar, maybe worth it. coz that area not many EC's/condo's but a lot of old folks, so high demand will be there from locals who want to stay near parents... hope they have nice balcony layout

balcony is interesting, just a bit worried about possible noise form mrt and PIE traffic

:s12:Where is the news can't find it at ST;)

If you 're saying mature estate,all HDB built very close to each other..but not non-mature estate...:)

For my case is different, the BTO I am apply opposite to orchid country club so there is need some green scenery and peaceful...you need to see where the orchid country club locate:look:=:p

Most of the areas are terrace house, condo so there is a need for some green scenery...I am thinking go to condo to use their free swimming pool:look:

advise you to seriously not do that, not only will you forfeit the option fee plus other fees(because you have to give up your flat first before being able to apply), there is no guarantee you will get a queue/flat, all your chances will be reset to the base (2 for first timer), regardless of how many bto you applied and missed out on. you will be like a person applying for bto for the first time from then onwards. And there is no way you will know how many times you need to ballot again to get a flat (typically each bto exercises pushes back the completion date around 3 month at most)

Your point not so correct...assume if they have paid for option
fee....they still can apply other BTO...if the BTO they have gd number so most likely they will get the flat..you just need select which BTO they want...if you sign agreement of lease then no choice .....hahaha..

I mean weekend rest day can go fishing, watch car racing..still need to work juz general worker not towkay..towkay dnt need to work juz instruct worker to work..

Not all fengshui are right, water flow direction is base on wind direction..the wind flow can flow away or toward to you..
If water flow toward you , the house can say flooded..
Water mean got fengshui...hahaha..
