just up the rates for housing loans lor...
Oi Oi.. wat bloody hougang... hougang the only place in singapore that the least contiminated by pap. RC office even need to instal cctv to protect itself. haha...limpeh live there since 1983, best location to stay in singapore.
$200K cov, let me guess, is it those EA/EM at hougang st 31? currently that the newest flats in hougang. CSM the mp there.
Correct... blk 222
so opposition flats command a higher COV ..... spread the word!
uncle, i never said no cov hor.
i just view a EA 2 weeks back, put in market for 3-4mth liao. seller asking for $45k cov, i doubt anyone will pay that amount. 1 day after i viewed, agent called me there another buyer offering valuation plus $35k. tell me to match the offer and she the agent will persuade the seller to sell to me. i only want to look see look see with no intention of buying so i tell the agent to inform the seller to accept that offer as i cannot match. as far as i can see, the flat is still in the market today.
blk 222 in st 21 lah.
u sure they want $200k cov? those flats not recent addition lor. shd have 20 years old.
Either the agent or the seller was trying to bluff you. Now still unsold.. obi good!
Yup. I still have that SMS from the agent for 2 weeks ago..

Oh so its another gahmen lie that cov has been reduce if it has been reduced. Anyway good for sellers as they can make more money but bad for buyers.
that the oldest trick in the book, the agent/seller must thought i first time resale buyer. my current resale 4rm which i brought in 2005 only $5k cov, no way i going to pay $35k-45k for a EA unit which is only few blocks from my current unit. my household income wont allow me to get hdb loan liao so will have to take bank loan which in current climate is dangerous as interest rate is set to rise. if i trade in my current 4rm, i only need to take $100k loan after cov and deposit.
While the cash outlay of 5% plus cov is not a problem, i behsong to give the seller. i can afford to wait for price to drop and normally big units drop the sharpest while the ever popular 3rm/4rm remain steady. no first time buyer will want to be saddle by a $400+k housing bank loan in the event of a rise of interest rate.
if St 31 EA/EM want $200k cov, at least the flat are only less than 10 yr old. but blk 222 was built while i still in secondary school and that was at least 20yrs ago and it still quite a walk from the mrt too. at st 31, only walk 5min to the famous hainanese curry rice at night and the famous teochew soon kway in the morning and cross the road can go inside SRJC for excerise while can see syts in fbt shorts.
so best location to buy in hougang is st 31.

if u really buy st 31, that miles away from me. i know of units in st 31 asking for $75-100k cov.
if u want cheaper EA/EM, u can try at st 51 or st 91/92, these pap controlled hougang asking for less than $50k cov. st 51 belong to "what u think" teo and st 91/92 belong to pinkie lee, proving again that pap estates have lower value than WP controlled estate. wahaha.....
