COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions Able Hears Most
Should I buy new launch or resale?+
Each has its place. New launch gives you progressive payment, brand new fittings, and builder warranty, but you wait for TOP and pay developer margin. Resale gives you immediate possession, rental income potential, and known maintenance, but older fittings and potential renovation. The right answer depends on your timeline, cash flow, and whether you are buying to live in or to hold. Able will lay out both for your specific case.
What's the realistic timeline to sell a condo?+
For a well-priced resale condo in a healthy market, expect 2 to 4 months from listing to OTP exercised. Larger units, niche layouts, and aspirational pricing can stretch this to 6 months or more. Able is honest with you about where your unit sits in the absorption curve before you list, so you launch with a realistic plan, not a hopeful one.
How do I tell if a launch is well priced?+
Compare it against recent transactions in the same district, the same tenure type, and similar layout sizes. Look at price per square foot net of any developer rebates, not the headline figure. Compare against the resale market in the same neighbourhood, because that is your exit. Able will pull these comps for you and tell you honestly whether the launch represents value or whether it is pricing in too much future growth.
What hidden costs should I budget for?+
Buyer's Stamp Duty, Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty if it applies, legal fees, valuation fees, mortgage insurance, fire insurance, MCST contributions, possible renovation, and an emergency buffer. For condo specifically, do not forget the monthly maintenance fee, sinking fund top-ups, and any special levies. Able provides a full transaction cost breakdown before you commit.
How does upgrading from HDB to condo actually work?+
The two main paths are sequential, where you sell the HDB first and rent before buying the condo, and decoupling or simultaneous, where you time both transactions together. Each carries different cash flow, ABSD remission, and risk profiles. Able will walk you through both, run the actual numbers for your case, and recommend a path that fits your tolerance for complexity and your cash position.
