Is a resale DBSS worth buying or should I just wait for BTO? Am looking at staying near Tampines MRT. Only viable option seems to be DBSS central 8 which is more expensive than normal HDB.?

This one will depende on your timeline. If you don't need to move in urgently, a BTO is probably a better choice. Yes there may be failed ballots, a construction period, etc., but the lower price point means you'll probably see better gains.

Nothing against DBSS, but these are pricier than normal flats and, like other resale units, there isn't as much upside potential as compared to a newer flat.

That said, this is all not relevant on the pure home-owner side of the equation. If this is the priority, then a DBSS could be more justifiable, with its better finishing etc.

My BTO just MOP & Im looking to upgrade to a condo of 1mil @ 9xx sqft. ECs are not an option due to MSR & new launch condos seem too ex. Are resale condos viable, with plans to downgrade in 2033-2035?

I have just came back to Singapore for good and planning to look for a resale HDB flat to buy near Tiong Bahru Market. I did some research is not a good time now, should I wait next year?

For 30y/o single, should I wait till 35 to get HDB resale 3rm or smaller? Is HDB always a depreciating asset? Buying a condo seems like too big of a financial commitment, unless for prop investment.

If BTO is not an option, and SBF/ROF is out of reach (failed multiple times), the only option left is resale flat. Is buying an old flat (above 40y) more viable or a relative new flat (Less than 10y)?

What specifics to look out for when buying a resales HDB? I am looking for a place in mature area to stay and the flats are in general old and costly. I do want to sell it for a profit?
