Because my SO and I could not qualify for subsidised housing, we had continually being toying with 2 options. One to have one of us stop working for a while so that we can apply for public housing (this will open the possibility of myself not working should we have a child), two is to just concentrate on private housing or resale flats. Even till now, we are still open to both options, but given that the price of private property is on par with public housing, we decided to go along with option 2 unless circumstances change.
As of now, we are wide open on our choices of the location to live in because the significant places we go to (our parents, our work places, our leisure places) are so far from each other. So far, this is our set of criterias that we are looking at:
- Near to MRT (but not noisy)
- Mid floors
- Set budget (will be revealed once we have decided and bought our place)
- Either a unit with super old furnishings at a cheap price, or a well-furnished unit where we do not have to spend time and money on renovations
- Near either my parents, his parents or his workplace
- No west sun
- Regularly shaped rooms
From the start of this year until now, this is a summary of the places we have visited:
District 8: 5 units
District 12: 2 units
District 20: 1 unit
District 28: 2 units
District 11: 2 units
District 22: 3 units
We are also considering a couple of units in district 1.
Till date, 3 units have caught my eye. However, given that my SO is currently not in Singapore *sob sob*, I would not be able to discuss my choices until I've talked with him. Hopefully our desired housing of choice would still be available *Pray pray*
