I saw this link and felt that BTO price is priced similar to resale or higher due to new lease

Xxw.iproperty.com.sg/hdb/hdbestateforsale.aspx?e=Geylang

erm. the 2 properties listed in 'Geylang' are at Circuit Road and Pine Close...Dakota Breeze is more much accessible/convenient and thus the price premium

EDIT: the Pine Close unit is 'low floor' btw.

I believe the floor area is much bigger than typical 4 BRM new BTO

this is 1,001 sqft which is exactly the same size as the 4 rooms in Dakota Breeze. are you just trolling?

Dakota floor plan shows 90-93 sq meters the link you showed is 95sq meters, difference of 5 sq meters can be up to SGD50k difference. Anyway another link shows the median resale compare to Dakota is lower srx.com.sg/hdb/bto/dakota-breeze-pine-vista-2642
We should not use those property listed for sale as a benchmark instead we should use past 12 month average transacted prices around the area. One property can sell very high but also can be just an outlier.

The Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) is calculated from the date the sellers collect the keys to the flat. It excludes any period where they do not occupy the flat, such as when the whole flat is rented out or when there has been an infringement of the flat lease.

The MOP duration depends on the purchase mode, flat type, and date of flat application:

Do check with HDB if you can get the keys if you have yet to sell your existing flat if you have used your CPF. HDB although give you 6 months to dispose, you still need to show you have sufficient CPF and loan before you can get your keys

95 sqm is similar to the size of the balcony units.

And the balcony units above $550k for the lower floors even. To wait for 3 or 4 years for the premium of lower than $100k (mid floor) i need to think haha.

the 4 rooms in Dakota Breeze are either 93 sqm or 96 sqm, and the highest floor 96 sqm units are priced at $603,800.

you can bother to research median transacted prices but you can't even look up the size of the units in question?

it's all well and good that the transacted prices are lower than this BTO, but is there any consideration for the size, location and floor of the transacted units?

Does that mean every house has different MOP timing but the whole block has the same 99 years lease decay countdown?

Understand your concern, but let's look at another point of view, everyone may not be able to collect the keys on the same day hence not only you are affected. If MOP is not based on key collection, there will be loopholes where ppl can exploit e.g seeking to extend the 6 months time frame to dispose property and delay taking the keys and yet meeting the MOP like everyone else hence this will encourage everyone to delay the sale of existing properties as long as possible.

Didn't the print shot show 3BR & 4BR ? If you are a resale flat buyer if you see transacted median price is 500k will you prefer to pay or less? You cannot keep thinking only on the seller point of view and say if ever one is selling 600k or more you can also, it will also depend on your renovation condition and whether you are staying together with 2BR home owners

What's wrong with staying with 2BR?
