Hi,
My fiancee & I are looking at getting a 4 rm unit at the Park central @AMK, priced at about $450k. We are first time buyer therefore I believe we can get a first time grant from CPF. Considering the current economy, it is a good time to buy now?
Hi to you and your fiancee,
Before you make any commitment, ps go through the checklist provided by HDB rigorously. For general reference, you also want to refer to the post: http://smartpropertybuyer.blogspot.com/2008/02/checklist-for-buying-property.html
When buying a home, affordability is the overwhelming factor. If you've done your calculations on that, then you may turn to look at the market response.
Quite obviously, we're starting to see price-resistance among buyers for HDB-DBSS. We no longer see the "all sold" seen during the first DBSS - "The Premiere". Though I do not expect HDB price to plunge, some price moderation is to be expected if economic situation continues to worsen. So you must be prepared for some price moderation if economic situation continues to worsen. More importantly, how you and fiancee will be affected financially if a recession should hit, and if you can continue to finance the property in such a situation.
Best wishes for your home hunting, and most of all, for your life together.
