have a question on buying a resale EC, hopefully, can get some advice from everyone on this forum.

if an EC has reached it's 5-year mark and it's price has appreciated singificantly (> 25%), but is not quite approaching the 10-year mark, will its price appreciate again once it becomes fully privatised at 10-years? assuming the location to be fairly good, quiet, near markets and future MRT stations...

any comments much appreciated... thanks! Big Grin

but of cos, the location location location is the deciding factor! Big Grin

I would think that the price of the EC would already have factored in the knowledge that it will become private after 10 years; hence the price would reflect this reality. So there may not be further price appreciation after the 10-year period has lapsed.....unless you are counting the forces of supply and demand, which will then of course complicate the issue.

ok, let say u got a pte condo across the road of an EC, the pte condo will be higher than 15%.

why? cos EC needs 5/10 yrs holding period if u intend to sell.

To buy for stay in as home, it's good.

To flip... well, at ur own risk..
