hdb is for low ses sinkies. if you’re wealthy in sg get a freehold property, landed if possible. otherwise, a newer condo will do. older condos tend to have all kinds of electrical and plumbing issues plus the need to rennovate as tiles, windows, and baths are dirty and dated. moreover, there’s the prospect of en bloc sales. usually there’s profit from en bloc sales but you have to start looking again for a new condo. if you can afford it pay in full as there’s no such thing as a 30-year fixed loan in sg for mortgages. it’s usually short term like in 2 to 3 years, and rates adjust after the short fixed period. many sinkies are in trouble now with their mortgages. hdb is really for the dogs. but wait my dog lives better than most sinkies.
