My Thoughts As A Property Consultant
Many buyers focus only on application rates and location. However, if your long-term goal is upgrading to a condominium, your BTO selection today can affect your future options. Factors such as flat type, timing, future supply, resale demand and exit strategy should be considered before applying.
