When a new launch makes more sense
- You are an HDB upgrader who wants to buy first and sell later. The longer ABSD window is a major advantage.
- You want full CPF usage and a lease that stays attractive to future buyers.
- You value modern layouts, new fittings and a large facility deck.
- You can wait about 4 years to move in.
When resale makes more sense
- You need to move in now.
- Space per dollar matters most. $2M buys about 1,245 sqft at The Springbloom, against about 700 sqft at One Chuan Grove (indicative).
- You are an older buyer already covered by the CPF age-95 rule.
- You want rental income immediately.
