We are thinking of selling our flat at $600k and use the cash for downpayment for a $1.2m condo. We then take a 25 years loan of $600k.
Since we both take public transport to work, we don't spend much on transport, so we feel we can afford the monthly payments of about $2400 (24% of our monthly income). We will use our CPF and cash for the monthly payments.
Is this advisable? Thank you. |
HDB flat price falling. Better sell your flat fast. Don't be greedy. Just sell. Many people rushing to sell their
HDB flat to upgrade to condo.
