Ideally I want to stay in those one room BTO(retirement village) when old. Which flat to get? A 30-year-old flat near MRT vs a 5-year-old flat that's few bus stops away from MRT?

to me rent is better and you can spend more during your retirement years.
buying of propertires will incur downpayment and cost..so upfront a bulk of your money will go to property and u have less to spend
if u want to buy property, whether 30years old or 5years old property... u want leave for your NOK? and 30years old property is lower in price...means u can have more cash.. 5year old property cost more...
unless i know more about your exact situation, these are a few things for you to ponder on.

Is it worth to get a 5 room resale flat which is 5 years old and selling it after 5 years, say the price is 600k for a non mature estate?

Is it advisable for a 25 year old to transfer some of their OA( OA above 20k) into SA to aid in reaching 1M65 when they are buying a bto flat 5 room (price 350k & no grants) in 4 to 5 years time?

What are the financial considerations to make in wanting to upgrade from a 4-room BTO to an EC/condo after 5 years. Approx how much savings does one need and the joint household income level. ?

Me and my fiancé are renting a studio apartment and our lease will be up next March. We are planning to get a house but we did not want a BTO (need to wait 3-4 years). Should we get a balanced flat or resale flat or just extend lease and get a BTO?
