Is 2020 the year you’ve been waiting to buy a home? That’s great! Now comes the ever-exciting stage – the search for your dream property.
For those looking into the HDB resale market, we understand how mind-boggling property prices can be. Last year, a five-room HDB flat in Boon Keng fetched a startlingly pretty sum of $1,205,000.
On top of that, the HDB resale price index released on Thursday (24 January 2020), increased by 0.1% in 2019.
With all this in mind, where does that leave the budget-conscious buyer? You can narrow down your search to the towns with the lowest median resale price.
