    that really depends what is your intention for selling now. how old is your flat and where?

    In my opinion , if is HDB - one property, you sell and buy now is okay. because if you sell at current market price, you will buy at current market price too. But for private properties investment will be different approach.

    Are you selling and buying concurrently? If yes, MOP flat is time to sell now as will be good price .Demand is high because of the balance lease, and 5 years renovation .

    Why sell? Use the rental income to find a private condo instead.

    Many condo firesales coming soon.

    Lord is right, rental yield is good for HDB but if want to buy second property eg private , ABSD incurred if you are not selling your HDB, ABSD is very high , I think 12% of the purchase price.

    So easy to share.

    1. MOP is the best time without knowing the seller whether they can buy another property.
    2. if is HDB - one property, you sell and buy now is okay. unnecessary transaction cost
    3. private property investment will be a different approach.unnecessary transaction cost
    4. Many condo firesales coming soon. without facts and figures using AssUme to share
    5. ABSD incurred if you are not selling your HDB.when you fail to plan before buying HDB and ask the layman for advice.

    Information needed before sharing

    1. how old is your flat and where? just obtained MOP at yishun
    2. Use the rental income to find a private condo instead.HDB under whose name

    Talk to someone who already sells, buy, and rent not someone who AssUme.

    Can share how you AssUme fire sales.

    Do you AssUme 5%, 10%, or a 50% drop in price Ass fire sale?

    Do you AssUme this as fire sale "Million-dollar HDB unit at SkyTerrace @ Dawson sold during circuit breaker"

    Why AssUme when Data is available on the internet.



    https://www.teoalida.com/singapore/hdbprices/

    HDB price trends
    HDB Resale Price Index DOUBLED from 2007 to 2013, dropped slightly to 2015 then stabilized. However, due to high supply of flats completed in 2014-2017 that enter on resale market since 2019, prices are likely to drop more in the coming years.

    I am surprised by the 0.5% increase in 4th quarter of 2019 against logic that contradict my prediction, does fall ended and another price bubble is coming in 2020? At same time, Coronavirus death toll exceeded 1000 on 10 February 2019, killing for first time 100+ people in one day. I expected that more cities in China will enter in quarantine and country economy may collapse, but things turned much worse and Coronavirus outbreak all over the world, reaching 1,000,000 cases and 50,000 deaths as 2 April 2020. Death toll may not sound big, but having most of world population in lockdown caused major economic losses and we are going to a possible bigger world recession than in 1997 or 2009 that will greatly affect Singapore private property market, and at smaller extent may affect public housing market too. Worsening situation in Singapore in April made circuit breaker and May 2020 BTO delayed too.

    Actually prices are rising in some towns while dropping in other towns. The below charts generated from Excel analysis shows price evolution for each town. HDB do not provide median price if less than 20 flats were transacted per quarter, thus there are gaps in lines. Especially in case of Executive flats, HDB do not display median prices for Bishan and Queenstown (towns famous for $1 million HDB flats) because they do not have at least 20 transacted flats except in Q2-Q3 2008.

    Can share how you define fire sales for the private condo, 5%, 10% 20%, 50%.

    17,000 already defer their loan repayment and more doing repricing and refinancing without TDSR.

    In my opinion, hard to have fire sales this year because interest rate is so attractive and can do refinance and hold on to the property longer.

    If your need a roof you need to buy! If you can wait then wait a bit longer to see if the market will crash with this current situation.

    Market may not crash due to the interest is very attractive, I just did my refinance on my existing property , 1.21 % provided by the maybank, if wait too long, you may lost many opportunities. As age up, hard to loan too.

    think as long as you buy within what you can afford is the safest, no need to be afraid if market trend down after you bought

    in my opinion, hdb price will not crash, as if so , the BTO price will drop drastically too, which i think our government wont let it happen

    Those desperate HDB homeowners will start to drop their price eventually if they have no time and collection of BTO keys are nearer to their deadline. : ((((
