May 2023 HDB BTO review: Serangoon

The May 2023 Serangoon BTO is probably the most anticipated project for this launch. Because the first (and last time) HDB launched a BTO here was nine years ago for short-lease studio apartments. This means that previously, families could only buy a flat here from the resale market (which commands a premium). But that’s set…

Resale HDB projects near the May 2023 BTO locations

The HDB BTO May 2023 launch will feature about 5,480 units in four housing estates, including mature estates Bedok, Kallang/Whampoa, and Serangoon, and non-mature estate Tengah.  The launch is sure to be exciting as it’s been more than 5 years since Bedok and Serangoon saw new BTO launches. BTO balloters now have a shot again…

A Singaporean doing just that is…

What does Bala’s Curve tell us about leasehold property value?

Calculating leasehold property values has always been a headache, anywhere in the world. How exactly do you work out the value between a property with 60 years lease remaining, versus one with 50 years left?

Comment on Which properties fall within 1km of the new ACS (Primary) in Tengah? by 99.co

In reply to <a href="https://www.99.co/singapore/insider/properties-within-1km-acs-primary-tengah/#comment-223443">alvin</a>. Hi alvin, you'll need to wait till the final perimeter plan for the new ACS (P) is out as that will then determine the <1km and <2km zone for home-school distance. You'll also need for this to be updated on OneMap's SchoolQuery (which demarcates the <1km and <2km zones). This is because the new home-school distance rule is based on the perimeter of the primary school, not its centre (https://www.99.co/singapore/insider/home-school-distance-new-rule-greater-competition-some-neighbourhoods/). For the purpose of this article, the current red circle is just an approximation. Hope this helps!
