Sobf May 2016

[PiPiChew]

I applied for May16 SOBF at Bukit bBatok but my number is not very ideal 3XX. From what I see, there are only low lying units available at the project (West Terra) that I'm looking for.

In Nov16 SOBF launch, HDB actually lists higher level units from the same project and same block. Why is this so? Is there anything i can do to choose those units? Appeal?

Previous couples who took the units and forfeit it in batches, so now HDB also release it accordingly in batches, and it just happens that the units seem more favourable for Nov release lo.

The project I aiming also, 4 units in May SoBF, 9 units in Nov SoBF

MOP 5 years is 5 years AFTER it is built finish and not during the 5 years wait

Besides, you can afford 2 BTOs?

"You have to occupy the flat for 5 years before you can sell it in the open market.

You can submit an application to buy another flat direct from HDB or a new DBSS flat, after 5 years from the date of keys collection for your new flat or DBSS flat."

waseh that means if i say collect key now, then must wait 5years then can apply , (cannot apply now), say 5years later i apply another BTO, take another 5years to build, means total is 5+5=10years correct?

Many people work near the city..

So shorter distance to travel. Saves time n less tired..

The houses will be easier to rent out or sell

N most people prefer to have amenities nearby...

Yeah, I think the travelling part is just an excuse for most ppl. Those who die die want mature estate probably dun want their peers to laugh at them - staying in slump or bird dun lay egg place.

I chose Punggol; can't do without SHG and at the same time pay for around half a million in price.

not eligible for grants but even if eligible i think i will still pick mature... mainly because grew up in mature estates so very used to the proximity to town. work also in town and hang out also usually in town so can't bring myself to live too far from it
