PRICING OF NEW FLATS AT PUNGGOL TOPAZ
New HDB flats are priced with a generous subsidy below their market value. The market value, as determined by professional valuers, takes into account the prices of comparable resale flats in the area, adjusted for factors such as location, flat attributes, design, availability of flats for occupation and prevailing market conditions.
In addition to the subsidised selling price, eligible first-timers earning not more than $5,000 per month can also apply for the Additional CPF Housing Grant (AHG) of up to $40,000. The AHG can be used to offset the initial down-payment.
The selling prices for the flats range from:
$166,000 to $207,000 for a 3-room flat;
$267,000 to $329,000 for a 4-room flat; and
$335,000 to $406,000 for a 5-room flat
$166,000 to $207,000 for a 3-room flat;
$267,000 to $329,000 for a 4-room flat; and
$335,000 to $406,000 for a 5-room flat
First-time flat buyers are estimated to use 24% to 26% of their monthly household income to meet their monthly loan payments for flats in Punggol Topaz. For example, a 4-room unit priced at $300,000 requires a monthly mortgage instalment of about $1,081. A family with a household income of $4,100 will be able to service this mortgage instalment using their CPF contributions and a cash outlay of $138.
