Used to be near town area better but now doesn't matter anymore as MRT linked to everywhere in SG and every estate has an nearby hub or shopping mall. For me will try to avoid over crowded places.
Hasn't changed, near town is still the best as reflected in resale valuation. I too avoid overcrowded places that means places with oversaturated BTO (i.e Punggol, Woodlands, Yishun, Jurong, Tengah, Tampines, etc), Central location HDB has much lower supply hence holds it's value far better than Standard BTO whereby every year you'll get competition from newly MOP BTO in your estate.
research about per block the material cost to build a block have to be below 300k-500k if the contractors hv no means to build they will sub it out to a different contractors .... etc
Huge mortgage loan is a burden as people feel stressed that they must work till they fully repaid their loans, even worse if people upsize their mortgage loan by selling their BTO and buying leasehold condo with high monthly maintenance fees.
I would always go for Prime location instead, because why pick poison when can choose elixer instead, since all 3 locations are equally inconvenient and crowded.
frankly the flat it tender to contractors to build are like doing NS for govt the build cost is lower then bricks be it any types of rooms, now is Lego fixed up with empty furniture and fittings is,still consider unaffordable.
Usually people subconsciously will use "far" for Jurong East. I think if seriously look at singapore map, Tampines Yishun Woodlands Punggol are at end of our island yet Jurong East is still not at the end of the island 😂 maybe people can dont stereotype JE 😊
Actually why bother with West or East, when the best option is always Central. If people can withstand the 10 years MOP from Prime BTO then it's the best option. No point buying Standard BTO because although the MOP is 5 years but the profit after 5 years won't be significant to upgrade to Executive HDB or private anyway.
no business at CA if not travelling. i WFH so no need for cbd. logically i value everyday stuff more than things that i only experience a few times. so what you mentioned are pale in comparison from the perspective of my needs. @@user-oh6wb5rj2q
I have been staying in the East since moving to Singapore 16 yrs ago. I think it will be very difficult to convince me to move out of the East especially when I have already paid off the current unit =) However never say never, will still try to convince my future wife to stay in this area, even if not the same unit 😛
Youths who postpone child bearing for BTO saving actually exchange at the expense of offspring's wellbeing. Many end up paying more for attending to special needs children. Only some are willing to be childless for the rest of their lives.
Why even take the risk to have kid? Even if the kid doesn't have special needs there's no guarantee that the kid will be filial, sometimes even if the parenting is perfect the kid still turned out useless, that's years of time and money wasted on the kid, nowadays chances of useless kids are higher just have to observe the Gen Z kids.

My dream home is having a house where I don’t have to deal with mortgages and loans

If being asked to objectively choose or rank among Jurong East, Punggol and Tampines, how would you choose?
1. Tampines
2. Punggol
3. JE
* I know I am biased as I lived in the east as a kid to my schooling years, loved it. 😂

@@RaseYourProbs it's okay to seek comfort zone, literally 😂
West Side definitely best side.

Jurong East is good place. Why people won't go? Welcome to the west!

Westside best side😂
Tengah best side

commute to work? no more remote work? wfh?
jurong point,westgate & jem. nothing in the east beats it.
Www, Changi Airport, ECP, CBD (sorry if you were to cut SG geographically into half, CBD is leading more towards the east

@@user-oh6wb5rj2qwest near to Malaysia that means we can go Lego land etc
Central location HDB gets best of all worlds, can travel easily to all areas of SG so why would I limit myself into picking one extreme end of SG?
Bto no contest if income can qualify for it
the best place is a house with no debt
So, which side of SG would you prefer to live in? 😆

as the saying goes: west side best side
East and a location where transport and amenities are walking distance away.
Prefer prime location, then again who doesn't love the ultimate convenience which only central location provides?
😂😂
moral of story, if u cant afford dont buy
Youths who postpone child bearing for BTO saving actually exchange at the expense of offspring's wellbeing. Many end up paying more for attending to special needs children. Only some are willing to be childless for the rest of their lives.
what are you saying?
The older a couple, the higher the chance of bearing children with special needs.
Some of these people champion freezing eggs without actually thinking about it through properly
