I seriously don't understand why people even bother spending so much to buy a condo in ulu places.
Say you spent $1.5m on a condo in Hougang or Pasir Ris, Bukit Batok etc.
Nobody is going to know.
Your friends or colleague will just be asking "oh where do you stay?"
You would likely say "Hougang".
You won't be saying "a condo in Hougang", right?
It's unlike say you buy a condo in Newton area. If you say you stay in Newton or Novena or Bukit Timah. People are generally more likely to assume you either stay in condo or landed.
