Character
The town in one paragraph.
Small HDB count (~2k flats). Old estates like Toh Yi, Queen Astrid. School driven (Nanyang, Methodist Girls, NJC).
The upgrade angle
If you're an upgrader in Bukit Timah.
Few HDB upgraders here, the stock is niche. Those upgrading typically go to D10/D11 condo within the same school zones.
The sequencing that matters
- MOP timing, have you cleared the 5 year minimum occupation period? If not, when will you?
- Sell first vs buy first, the single most expensive sequencing decision for HDB upgraders. Varies by ABSD exposure and financing.
- Cash proceeds vs CPF refund, running the CPF accrued interest math (see article) before you list.
- ABSD remission window, 6 month rule after completion of your new property, strictly enforced.
