We probably had viewed less than 10 units since the day we started hunting for a house three weeks ago. We viewed mostly in Jurong East area when we found one that we like best.
We made three appointments that Saturday with three different housing agents. They were all a five rooms' flats either door to door or a point block unit. Strangely, we didn't actually view a 4 room flat throughout the house hunt.
It was probably the price difference between them, which was not much, and to go for a 5 room would be a better economical choice.
Luck was with us. We actually liked the very first unit we viewed that morning but didn't want to commit. After viewing the other two units, we decided to make an offer. We were told by the agent that there was already an offer made by another party. We stood firm with our Cash Over Value offer and told him to consider us.
I believed the works of the Universe. It was the work of Law of Vibrations and Attraction. We signed the Offer To Purchase that very evening with the seller and omitted the 14 days grace period.
The house plan:
- Size Area: 121sq m
- Type: 5 Improved
- Age of Block: 23 years
- Floor: 5th
- Door: East
- Balcony: North
And this is how it looks like in 3D.
The setback:
As much as we wanted a fast transaction, which is normally will take three months to complete the buy-sale of the house, we were told that we needed to give the seller a month extension after the sale completion with HDB.
The sellers, an elderly couple with no children in their late 60s, decided to downgrade. To us, they made a wise decision. At least, they will have the cash to last them through. Wishing you all the best, Mr & Mrs Monteiro.
