Brudder mm, it has been shrinking right from 1994/5 when I first bot my first investment property Anchorage....

a 3 bedroom is 1506sq ft....

In 2006, a three bedroom is 1200sq ft

today, a 3 bedroom is 900 sq ft....

Every time I visit the showroom, I get shock after shock... But this is the new paradigm... And we need to embrace it.... Same goes to HDB.... My first hdb in Bishan was 1100sq (4 room).... today

I think it is a matter of time we will end up like Hong Kong. Singapore is only that "BIG". How much can we build. Already everywhere near my place already turning from green to brown patches for construction for recent years. For sure weather will be hotter and hotter. Sigh...

this shrinkage is most pronounced in mass market condos targeting hdb upgraders. Luxury grade condos are still maintaining respectable sizes overall.

[Werther]

CCR location doesnt necessarily mean luxury grade.

So HDB upgrder typically will upgrade to CCR? or to OCR?

yup. thats mine pt. the argument of 30% shrinkage is limited to OCR is baseless. coz . CCR there are also such shrinkage in size. looks at the studio in River Edge? and compare to other studio build today in D9? also smaller wat.

There is nothing to do with OCR or CCR in general size are getting more compact.

They should sell HDB flat based on $PSF, and not based on room size because a 5-room HDB flat has shrunk from 14xx sqft to 10xx sqft while a 4-room HDB flat has shrunk 11xx sqft to 8xx sqft.

So, an old 4-room HDB flat can be bigger than a much newer 5-room HDB flat! So, how can still use number of rooms to determine HDB resale flats prices?

I oso feel we will end up like HK, or worse still, Japan.

currently 1 bedder < 500sqft is called mm unit.
in the future if 1 bedder is smaller den 300sqft, wat will they call them? dwarf units?
