Finally, we have gotten tired of going to agents to look for resale flats, and happened to browse HDB website to 'scavenge' for leftover flats, and guess what, SengKang executive flats came into the picture.
Seeing how resale flat owners are asking for exorbitant prices for some 'lock-kock' flats, buying from HDB directly, although it is SengKang and not our ideal location, but what to do.... Government and shortage of prime lands have forced newly-wed couples like ourselves to the edges of Singapore. Thus, SengKang is of 'best of the worst' choice....
Ok, enough of demeaning remarks of SengKang, since we are gonna be residents there pretty soon. You can call us SengKang-ians soon..... Haiz...
So at least most of the family is now involved in this house-hunting/viewing of the SengKang Executive flat selecting + buying process. We have gone to see the showflat on Saturday (Round 1), and other family members have done another vetting (Round 2), so we are set to go down to the HDB Hub to select our 'love nest' (Final Round 3). A bit rush, but mai-tu liao, in case the higher floor ones kena kop tiao.....
The consoling thing is we are getting quite a deal at ~$300k for a used-to-be $400k Executive flat.... I feel like laughing at those current owners.... But we'll have to ken-bread for many months and years to come to bear with the monthly loan repayments.... :(
No more shopping Lao DEAR!
