if it is a FH status, i generally do not see why older projects will suffer a greater correction during a downturn. Cannot say the same for 99LH

depends on location, location, location

My mother's 30+yr old 5-rm hdb flat can sell for $800k, px keep going up, same for my 4rm hdb flat. As for 99yr pc, the ocr one I have has seen capital appreciation of about 20% since I bought in december 2010 & has not seen a drop so far. My rcr and ccr ptys are freehold so out of the discussion.

I am refering to old fh and new fh. Why would a older fh suffer a greater depreciation den new fh ones?

There is already a price difference of 20% generally for new and old properties within the same vicinity.

my latest ocr pc purchase as mentioned was in 2010 and increased about 20%. The resale hdb and my other condos were bought just 5-6 years ago, not during my grandmother's era.

Demand......here ppl prefer newer projects.
Old projects hence sharper drop or lesser transactions

I am buying it to rent, not interested to sell. I do not understand why ppl keep saying a ten year old condo is old when buildings are built to last much longer. Imo, if you can buy a three bedr with more than 80yr remaining at $8xxk and get 4.5% yield, it is a great deal. After paying off your unit fully from rental income after a period of time, the remaining 50-60 years remaining on the lease is yours for free. You can continue renting to collect passive income or when the place goes en bloc, you stand to gain a tidy sum. Fh or 99yr, the investment concept is different. 99yr condos are usually situated in locations with more amenities and fetching better rental returns with lower capital outlay. Compare regent heights 3 bedr and hillington green 3 bedr, both fetching same rental of $3k plus, but hillington 3 bedr going for $1.3 million while regent heights only for $8xxk - $9xxk in this market. The extra that you fork out for 999yr and fh in hillview actually brings you back to square one. I personally would save the extra $300-400k and put a down payment on another property than tie it up in a single property in hillview. With my mixed portfolio of fh n lh ptys n hdb, I am doing fine so far. I never believe in stretching too much in a single pty and I think it is really stupid to do that. I am the sort of investor that would split up $2 million to buy two to three ptys then dump all that money in one pty.
