Arc @ Tampines (Executive Condo)

[westin]

That's true, DBSS should be fenced up too..

[kane]

If DBSS prices are too close to EC prices and are still moving at a healthy pace, guess what will the EC developers do...

[thomastansb]

DBSS is just HDB. After 5 years, it is called resale HDB. I mean, what is so special? Old already and look just like any other HDB.

EC is different. EC will be private property after 5 years. With facilities, security etc.

And people still buy DBSS. What a joke..

Possible for dbss to be privatize next time just the same as hduc?

[shauntanzs]

eh? the latter has a fence, unlike the former when any ah mao or ah gou can walk in and out

You know why people still buy DBSS?
1) 40k grant, no resale levy
2) Can get HDB loan
3) For 1st timer still got 2nd chance to buy HDB
4) 10-20% downpayment with cpf. EC need min. 5% cash

I know alot of young couples want atas life but cannot fork out 40k cold hard cash for EC so go for DBSS lor.

This development also nearing TOP......why so quiet here?

[Kokono]

Because all discussion among the residents are in the facebook page...

[rymccondo77]

Because all discussion among the residents are in the facebook page...

Most ECs (if not all), have active FaceBook Groups. This is mainly because the buyers can't sell in the first 5 years (i.e. buy to stay, at least for the first 5 years) - greater motivation to be active in the group.

[leesg123]

How come this EC just TOP, there are already so many rental advertisement on Propertyguru on renting the whole apartment? Is it allowed?

Renting out your EC

Renting out the whole EC unit

Renting out of whole EC unit within the 5-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) is not allowed.

[rymccondo77]

This development has dual key units i.e. the owner can rent out the studio apartment.

[leesg123]

blank

[leesg123]

The units rented out are 2 bedders. Is that dual key? Also, renting of room need approval from HDB.
This one dual key meh?

Anyway already reported to HDB for them to investigate. we must always be mindful that EC are for own stay and is heavily subsidised by HDB (thus taxpayers like us). should not be use as an investment tool for the 1st 5 years.

not only that...hdb only standard reply. if they have fulfilled the mop. they didn't bother to investigate. do keep us updated to see if they do act on this case.

This EC just TOP few months ago, confirmed plus chop not even 1 year into the 5 years MOP. Such opportunist must be dealt with.

The first ad says the unit has been approved for rental by HDB.

Of course, what it says may not be the truth!
