Your HDB Has Reached Its MOP? What's Next? What Is The Best Way Forward?
There are several options that can maximise your profits!
01.
Should I Sell My HDB Flat?
Emotional or Objective?
First and foremost, it is not a one-size-fits-all approach. And there is definitely not just one hard and fast way when it comes to this.
It boils down to your objectives in the short, mid or long-term. And either higher preference to personal-driven factors or financially-motivated reasons.
And this is where Real Estate Advisors will come in – to assist and complement your decision making process so that you realise optimum objectives with latest data and trends. We have the tools to assist you towards making highly precise and accurate analysis.
"My Friend/Uncle/Aunty/Cousin/Son/Cat/Etc All Upgraded And Made Money/Made No Money!"
These are very common occurrences. Meet up with friends or relatives, and you will hear such stories.
The friend might have said it is the best move to make to reach that pot of gold, whereas the relative might say it is the worst decision they made.
Question is – who to believe?
My answer would be – believe in your own situation.
Hearsay is sometimes good. But the most assuring is to find out yourself.
Everyone would love to upgrade but...
Agree or not, most people would like to upgrade their property at some point of their lives.
Better lifestyle, growing family size and for investment could be of some the motivating factors.
But as much as we would like to, upgrading is not for everyone.
Most people would love the idea of upgrading, but not everyone has adequate means to do so.
- Do you think you can upgrade?

Can I make money?
As much as we would like to give a straight forward answer, it is not.
Here are some reasons why.
Outstanding Home Loan
The sum which is deducted from your sales proceeds
Next Home Payment
Besides the downpayment, there are also other potential costs such as resale levy or COV
Next Home Renovation
Costs of renovating your next home
Agent Commission
Expect to be paying up to 2% of the sales price
Refund Your CPF Ordinary Account
Some of the considerations are downpayment, accrued interest on downpayment stamp duty and other charges paid for with your CPF, accrued interest on stamp duty and other charges, monthly loan repayment, accrued interest on monthly loan repayment CPF Housing Grant and accrued interest on CPF Housing Grant
