If you are wondering why we choose TAT, do read my explanation and reasons in this post – Treasure At Tampines: Why We Buy This Project. A lot has happened this past 2 years, so in this MELEPAK session, I will be sharing some updates in my property journey. I will also be sharing my plans …
In my last update on my property journey, I shared my experience selling our first home – our resale HDB flat. We sold it at a huge loss and something that we do not wish happen to others. (If you are considering getting a resale HDB flat, PLEASE read my previous updates before committing to it) After the sale, we agreed that our next property will be a condo and finally decided on Treasure At …
Buying a condo is not a small decision that should be taken lightly. Kay and I experienced it personally after we sold our HDB flat and were deciding what should be our next step.

Similar to everyone, we were excited when we got our own place. But unlike most couples, we know from the start that we are not going to spend a lot on our resale HDB renovation. In fact, if you remember our criteria when buying our first home, we wanted a house where we can move in immediately with minimal renovations needed. In this post, I will be sharing why Kay and I do not want …

Our reasoning then was as such: We can get our home faster (Indeed, we have a home of our own in 3 months) We can enjoy bigger space as compared to BTO flats We can choose which …
