What are your opinions on choosing between BTO for a 3-room flat with less competition and a 4-room flat with ample space?

Looking at the current BTO, in particular, my fiancee and I are trying to decide between a 3-rm BTO with a 2:1 ratio and a 4-rm which is at 10:1

Perks of the 3-rm:

  • lower price
  • less space to clean
  • higher chance of getting a number

However, the cons would be that

  • current price seems expensive when considering the other 3-room prices in the market
  • less space to entertain family

We are about to hit the income limit so getting a number is a priority.

Wanted to gather more opinions

Here is everything about me and what I do best.

I would value being close to parents!

Also, less space to clean could mean more cost savings down the line :)

I think depends if you want a kid. If you want a kid, a 4 room is better and don't have to go throug...
