Got a question for u all. Would u pay say 350k for a lower level but good direction unit or same price for a much higher level but not that good direction unit?

If you will be staying there for long time, then only you know what you prefer. Most people actually can adapt to whatever flats they were assigned to but when given the choice to choose, one will have headache to answer to themselves and families if a bad choice is made

If you are asking to know what features can fetch you a better profit, then need to ask experienced property agents. I guess their suggestion should be a higher unit.

Not sure what you mean by good direction? Is it about fengshui or view?

Haha not fengshui. Just view. Im actually looking at BB. Either u face the front, or the back facing the PIE(though got mscp to separate flat and pie). Price difference quite a lot for the same height unit.

for those who have their HLE already, does the figure differs alot from the "Enquiry on Max. loan" from the HDB website

definitely a difference, the enquiry is just aga-aga, a gauge.

 

[rain_myth]

email to them on payslip also can.
I submitted the form online (together with CPF by enter your Singpass) and I forgot to sign and send them the payslips. Rec'd letter a mth after reminding me and give me dateline. Thus, I reprint the form -> signed on it -> scanned as pdf with payslips -> email send.

Abt couple of days, sign in to MyHDBPage, you will be able to see your HLE estimate max amt you can loan. If still not seen, call them up and they will help to check.

yes email them, submit the document online also can. but i pretty lazy, just dump the document into the envelope, drop to their mailbox. i lived near the area.

haha.. than you are not lazy, me more lazy.. you still have to go in search of their mailbox even thou you go to interchange to take bus/MRT.

to me, scanner just about 5 steps from my work table, i scanned, go back desk, save and than send. No need to walk or leg exercise, just hand and finger exercise..

Whether the higher floor price is being pushed up depends how they do it. If the fixed the lowest or mid level prices and then increase/decrease price for each level up/down, then yes higher levels will be raised due to these increases. However, not so if they fixed the highest level first or the range first. I believe and hope they do it be the latter manner.

If so, the higher and lower levels wouldn't be affected much. Those who choose the unpopular levels (e.g. 2,4,14,24,34, and may be 40?), while it penalizes those who choose the popular levels (e.g. 8, 18, 28, 38, 33, etc.). Thus, I think those choosing a level above these levels would be unfairly penalized and those choosing a level below these levels would be unfairly benefited.

I suspected they based the differences in price between different levels on past statistic of selection pattern, to encourage/discourage the selection of these unpopular/popular levels.

Actually, I think level 4 unit is a good selection because of the super low price while many new Singapore citizens don't mind about 4

Ya, they will take this chance to eat more $ from us.. haha...
I'm not looking at level 4 yet, currently stay at level 4, thinking of gg upwards a bit, but still having that as a backup in case my fav choices all gone by the time its my turn. Btw, I'm not new SC... I'm old liao.. (just a joke)

Advise you not to choose a flat facing PIE, if possible. Damn noisy even at night sleeping time. Current flat facing PIE, even thou my room is not facing directly (parents room direct face), I will also get to hear the zoom zoom at night.
But if you like to watch "accident" during rainy days, maybe its a good choice. Oh yes, 1 thing, my mother tend to know our place may be starting to rain (because vehicle travel from some place else that's already raining) or its rainy already (not heavy rain, dizzy rain) before we know because of the sound the car tires made, she can differential the sound. And we have to quickly go and collect back our clothing hang outside.

Yeah that's what I think too. The unit im looking at is about 30-40 metres away from expressway which is not too much of a distance so I guess will still be noisy. My current place is facing a small loop road in the neighbourhood and the one and only bus that comes in is annoying in the middle of the night. Expressway will be worse right. Ur mom is a pro already. Maybe I will go for a bit of site visit first before choosing
First timer, want as good as I can afford and excited I don't want make wrong decision haha.

ya, you should go and listen to the noise level. maybe once during rainy day too haha... at night too (have a moon night walk near PIE with your love ones ) ... these timing are when the noise will be more obvious.

my current place not only face PIE, but it is at a part whereby it split to another lane to go out of PIE. Thus..... there's where the accident tend to happened. In the past, esp during rainy days, I will tend to heard "boom" loudly. Now lesser such noise, a good thing thou. But sometimes, near F1 season, the vehicle noise will increase due to car owner and F1 fan seems tend to change their car noise level up.

They had for quite some time. But nvr reflect on site. Just click on any bto that are already up and navigate to bb avail units and selection.

Got such things for F1 season ah lol. Wa that case isnt 7th mth scary?
Looks like more cons to near expressway. Must reconsider... But well selection starts tml and my Q number is still a mth's time away... If I unlucky might not get any good units left =(

just as mentioned, i lived near the area.

scan + upload payslip + upload cpf = hassle

 

[3G SAINT]

I wouldnt mind a lower level as long as nothing block the view like carparks,trees, etc...

Are you sure 2nd floor not mind

 

[3G SAINT]

I suppose these reasons:

185 unblock view while 187 master bedroom view might be blk slightly by blk 312B and also blk 312B yard might be able to see 185 inside.

Why didn't read this block 312

called them before to ask, apparently the display tiles/doors/models can be accessed any time as they are not manned by anyone..so you shd be able to go in and take a look regardless of whether hdb hub is operating..
