Yup, agreed. They are totally different in the first place.

1. How many HDBs can you own?

2. Not everyone are eligible to buy a HDB.

Other factors like facilities, security, etc comes into play. I'd say most importantly foreigners who can't buy HDBs will have no choice.

Well you can take some comparison like rental, probably you have a clearly picture. I will also consider a fair price if psf of a non-MM PC is roughly 2x (or slightly more) than a nearby HDB.

raise the questions bcoz every time when me looking at mm as investment, got headache:
- price support? cannot find where is the price support level, says under adverse condition, could mm price be supported by 4rm hdb?? can't tell
- supply? it is like lots of mm. i don;t mind building lots of mm in CCR or near mrt, but locations like woodlands/loyang?
- tenants? finding tenant might be difficult, you are fighting with hdb 3-4 rm flats

let me put the question in another way...
=> if new regulation puts back "pte condo owner could buy resale hdb"...and say you have that limited budget, which would you pick if all are same price:
- buy an MM...
- or buy a 5rm hdb
- or buy a commercial retail space...
(for me, first choice retail space, 2nd choice 5rm hdb and clear that 5yr mop, will not touch mm... I will only get an mm when price falls to 10-20% below 5rm hdb, or about same price as 4rm hdb...)


could tell me your reasons?...

... and, hello! not bashing mm hor...

MM Price drop 20% below hdb is rather difficult.

During launch of MM in Suites@PL going for about $500k. Think the HDB 5 room flats in Lor Ah Soo going for $5xxk? Can't confirm this though but yes, both are about same price for current market. If HDB goes way above MM PC price, then demand for HDB will fall so price kana hit back to same price as MM PC again. In short, HDB flats difficult to remain much higher than MM PCs. :cool:

I bought MMs because im Single and too young to buy Resale HDB :) I guess many out there who bought MMs may not qualify HDB rulings

[richwang]

A couple of years back, MM West Coast used to be the same price as 3-rm HDB Resale price (in the range of S$200K).

As a general rule, mass market PC should be roughly double the price of HDB for the same size, same location.
