    But can the former owners find replacement of similar size, quality and location?

    Why cannot? Resale HDB opposite the road just like their own same quality ex-HUDC Farrer Court confirm less than $2mil.

    What I mean is from private property to private property. HDB is not condo. It does not have its own garden and other facilities. It is downgrading.

    A lot of people view living in HDB no class. To these snobs, I would say it beats living in a high class private property but struggling to pay the loans yr whole life!

    Living in HDB with no financial burden is pure bliss!

    Very true. I have nothing against HDB owners.
    But here we are discussing cost of HDB and cost of HUDC and their respective market prices. When HUDC is privatised, it is private. When I first querried whether the former Farrer Court owner could find a replacement in a private property of the same size, same location and same quality, I do not expect a HDB replacement. If any one wants to keep the proceeds and buy a cheaper HDB flat, and tell me that you can, then very well. But then, it is not a fair answer to my question.

    Lightbulb money collected alledy

    Hello, money collected in March alledy. Think it's 95 percent. I know cos I heard an acquaintance has moved out a month ago. These are the most fortunate enblockers in the history of S'pore, considering it's 99 yrs leasehold and cost half a billion to top up to 99 yrs.
    Is it true the buyer is banging heads?
    Horizon Towers , Gilman Hts etc ,owners must be banging heads and balls.
    Makes me wonder what's happened to the HT and GH cases. There's a deadly silence there. Anybody knows what's happening?

    Hi Gloworm2,

    One place that can considered is Sommerville Park, opposite Farrer Court.

    Quality and location will beat FC, in my view. Furthermore, it's freehold.

    As for size, well, must compromise a bit...just a bit...for the freehold status,at least.

    What do you think?

    I think most ex-FC owners taste not so high. If taste so high, then they wun been living in the ex-HUDC FC already. I think most ex--FCers will go stay in HDBs next door for $500k cheap cheap.

    Cheap cheap is not to be equated to 'cheapskate'!
