Hi Dark Knight and Kudos,
Congratulations to u, Kudos, for getting a bigger unit at a cheaper rate elsewhere.
Of course, with that kind of $$, we can hunt around to get a better unit but sometimes, it's juz the sentiments and the first sight which we don't mind to part with our $$ to get what we want. We have no regrets in getting our unit so far, agree, Dark Knight?
All I can say is different people got different preferences and perception. Just imagine, recently, there's someone paying almost $700k for a four room HDB flat at Queensway or something... Do you think HDB will fetch so high a price???
Other than this, people are paying $690k for a "Condo-like" HDB flat situated at AMK St 52 which wasn't a stone throw away from the AMK Hub nor is it near MRT! "Condo-like" u know, it's not even a Condo! No security guard, no private car park and worst, the so-call roof park - thought there's some privacy but can also be accessible to the public! So, everybody got their own preference, people juz don't mind about the kind of price they are paying! Maybe they juz like it and buy it for stay? Not like you, should I say, buy and flip...
