Then why must u died died must eat the noodle that is over price. Go other stall or eat rice loh. Even can eat at home. If blame garment or others make u feel better. Then no choice, but I feel consumer do have a choice not to patron if u really find something wrong in price. This is a signal reflex from the ground. Let the developer know no market. Then they would not buy land from garment mah.

Even if the couple is having $10K per month, after CPF...only $8K....very hard to buy a $880k unit as well....will be very stretch......

That's why all the more the younger generation should insist that the HDB lower their price of BTO and increase the income ceiling.

Normal BTO 5rm for a similar location is like maybe 500+?? so is the furnishing n reno worth 300K+?

If have some sach on hand. might as well buy an EA (So call 6 room) resale at 550K - 600K in Tampines and then throw in 100k Reno.

Bigger and cheaper as well.

Actually the $8k-$10k is for a couple....2 person salary...so individual is $4k-$5k which is not very high to be honest
