Just like shares, we have to compare with suitable benchmarks.
There is no perfect comparison most of the times.
So, we tend to compare shares in the same industry or similar size etc.
Apply to properties, we could consider comparing with ECs in the same area i.e. Sengkang or we can compare with private condo in the same area.
If the price differential between ECs (incorporating resale levy, if applicable) and pte condos is not that significant, might be worthwhile to consider private.
What is significant? We may have different views. Some might say 20%, some 15% ...
Ask yourself, given a choice say a 4-bedroom pte condo at $980K and an EC at $980K, which would you choose? Why?
Assuming the size is acceptable to you.
Not too sure why you quote my post here and seems to me your response is not much to do with my posting.
Anyway as I stated, each individual has their own priority. As long as the buyer work their sum up.
