Saw this in HDB website under Sales of balance flats. Till now my blk got 3 units availble. When we saw all are high floor unit, we feel sad. At the time of applying, we left with no choice. We wanted this blk, but highest floor at that time was Level 7. We wanted our unit facing main road, we do not want flat to flat view. If we choose unit facing inwards, sure got high unit. So no choice, we take Level 7 unit since we prefer facing main road units.
If we have this 3 units to choose, we will take the #13-595. 2nd choice will be #10-597. But too bad, there wasnt much choices. Our queue number was almost the last fews. We keep thinking those that get good numbers were damm lucky. This was our 2nd bto we are balloting. The 1st one we dont even have a queue number. We are 1st timer, 1st time applying, so hard for us to get. We were so happy when we have a chance to go down to choose a unit. Of cause the units we wanted was all taken up. (Which now available as people gave up their units) We were thinking if they did not apply, we might have a chance to choose...
When people give up their unit, they have many reasons. Decide not to marry anymore, change of heart so give up, even though paid 10% fees, still have to give up. Maybe gave up cause they have better offer? Or feel they can't affort? Or they decide to give up their citizenship?
The one to gain will be HDB, they wont refund you, you can only forfeit it. Of cause the price of these units now is far more expensive compare to 3 years ago, should be at least $60,000 more than we bought in the past. Prices of HDB only increases... I began to wonder, when our kids grow up, will they be able to affort to buy a flat?
My answer will be "NO"! I dont know how are they going to survice in Singapore. Like singaporeanson plan, to help Albany save $1 a day. Its a good idea, i will follow too heheehee... To save for my kids if i have one in future.
