If almost the same price, will you buy a 3 room prime location or a 4 room non prime location, or a 5 room non mature estate without MRT walking distance?

How about 4 room prime location? The difference isn’t a lot if you intend to stay and not to flip. Example: Tengah 4 room going for 400k odd. Kallang 4 room PLH going for 500k odd to 600k odd. Difference of 100k to 200k for a much superior location.

Depends on how big your family actually is. If only 2 person, then buy 5 room for what?

Then, it depends on where you work and whether you drive. If you talk mrt, means you don't drive so either choose some spots with good walking distance to Mrt or 7 or shorter bus stops.

For me, I won't take prime. I don't work in CBD. Just take 4 room non prime.

2 person must live in 3-room? It’s the space that we crave.

It's a valid question nonetheless.

It really depends on your family profile and whether you drive.

If family profile is big, then usually a large house is the better option.

Then if you drive, then distance to Mrt may weigh less.

Also, 10 min walk to Mrt is considered far. Under normal circumstances, I think only 6 min walk or less to mrt is better for me. If not, I would rather take bus as now old already and no longer drive.

No I am quoting you to let you know that it's still a valid question.

Whether you want to read on or not, it's up to you.

Depends on income. If not much money and buy big and prime hdb, pay loan, not enough for the retirement? Also lesser rebates for bigger rooms.

Depends on workplace. Travel longer time or lesser time preferred.

Depends on many things like near mrt, hawker, parents, schools for kid if any.

So, if almost the same price for the following (just an example)
1) Bayshore - 3 room (Plus Model) - 10 yrs MOP & levy on resale... (maybe can get a seaview if lucky)
2) Bedok south - 4 room (10 mins walk to Tanah Merah MRT)
3) Tengah - 5 room (near MRT but ready after 2026)

Which will you choose?

For myself i most likely will go for Bedok South, but bayshore is so tempting to have a chance for getting seaview unblock too, and Tengah have the spacious 5 room, and one will get use to it after staying for awhile...still my choice goes with bedok south for the moment...maybe....LOL
