March BTO 2012

[lampano]

But Swimming pool is open to public and must pay.

Pay per entry is better than pay several hundreds bucks for nothing haha

 

[Think09]

Is the CPF Housing Grant for Family and Additional CPF Housing Grant for those applying for bto new flats or for buying resale flats?

Only AHG for New Flats.

resale AHG and CPF Housing grant.

Truth.Also do not need to pay for the maintenance.

The bus is more like 40 mins to me. Plus walking, waiting for bus, etc and depend on where you alight (Scotts Road or City Hall/Suntec or Chinatown), it will take you about 1 hour +/- to get to town.

Lols, if you include walking+waiting+ blah blah, Clementi also easily 30mins .
Talk on the distance duration bah.

Yes, but the bus distance itself is not 15mins also mah. Just to give a better idea of how long it will take. Say you are meeting a person at Suntec, from the time leaving home to reaching that person, is really about 1hour.

This clarification is for the benefit of the forumer considering between BP and BB lor. If not, give him the wrong impression is only 15 mins from BP to town haha

any of these expensive BTOs near to MRT at all? If yes, maybe the prices can be better justified. If not, the prices strike me as really on quite the high side.

can anyone share?

 

[stonefish35]

hehe im nt sure. but if u look strictly at the hdb annual report.
they are indeed nt making money.

If you are trained and qualified to analyse Financial Reports, go dig out the 2009 / 2010 ( or 2008 / 2009 ) HDB report , while MBT was still at the helm, and when he claimed HDB was suffering a S$2Billion annual loss for the year.

Look at the line item of S$1.5B loss - Foreseeable Probably Loss on Land Valuation - Seriously, loss on valuation of Land, in Singapore ? Come on...

So once the valuation climbs back, there will be a " Profit" , which , can be mitigated by such a thing called Creative Accounting or Accounts Dressing, legally. It is how you want to interpret the IFRS to dress your financials to your advantage , legally.

Dun be lazy, learn how to interpret maps, and learn this sign call "MRT" and be more street smart. Else, we will be edged out by the FTs.

3 of the BTOs with 3 , 4 rooms units, are within walking distance to MRT.

HDB - 2.6% flat rate.

Bank loan rates are subjected to fluctuation. Although it may be lower than the 2.6% today, it may be higher later on in the years. There is no guarantee. You would also need to renew the loan every few years.

Haha, probably thats the outcome of our education system, too dependent on being spoon fed, or on their Maria for everything. Either that, or an Foreign converted citizen.

Yes, there are a few near the MRTs. For instance, the MacPherson Residence is walking distance to MRT.

Seem like Geylang really is not popular. Subcription really low despite the location.

Anyone living near there? What are the reasons besides the obvious one that "geylang" is not a good name due to association with certain industry?
