Property Strategy FAQ: Answers for Savvy Buyers & Sellers
Yes. We align your HDB completion date with your new condo handover using a Move-and-Buy Timing Roadmap. By managing the legal timeline and extension of stay, most upgraders complete the entire transition with a single move.
It depends on your cash flow position. Selling first gives you a confirmed budget and avoids upfront ABSD, but may require temporary housing. Buying first secures your next home but requires a bridging loan and upfront stamp duty. We map both scenarios mathematically before recommending a sequence.
No, not immediately. Singapore Citizens can own both an HDB and a private condo simultaneously, but must sell the HDB within 6 months of the private property completing its TOP or purchase date to qualify for ABSD remission. Keeping both long-term incurs the full ABSD cost.
Yes. You can purchase a private condo while still owning your HDB flat, but Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty must be paid upfront. An ABSD remission can be applied for later if you sell your HDB within the 6-month window after your condo's TOP or purchase completion.
There is no fixed minimum salary set by law, but MAS TDSR rules cap your total monthly debt obligations at 55% of gross income. For a $1.5M condo with a 75% loan, you typically need a combined household income of at least $8,000 to $10,000 per month depending on existing loan commitments. Use our Gap Decoder calculator to stress-test your exact numbers.
The minimum downpayment is 25% of the purchase price when taking a bank loan. Of this, at least 5% must be in cash — the remaining 20% can come from CPF OA savings. You must also budget for Buyer's Stamp Duty and legal fees. For a $1.5M condo, prepare at least $75,000 in liquid cash as a minimum starting point.
The minimum downpayment is 25% of the purchase price for a first property bank loan at maximum 75% LTV. Of this 25%, a minimum of 5% must be in cash and the remaining 20% can come from CPF OA. For a second property, the LTV drops to 45%, requiring a 55% downpayment with at least 25% in cash.
Yes, for upgraders who have hit or are approaching MOP. Over 13,000 HDB units are reaching MOP in 2026, creating a competitive resale window. Acting early in the wave gives you stronger HDB resale prices and more new launch inventory to choose from. The mathematical case for timing your exit in 2026 is compelling if your equity position supports it.
