PropertyBT: Is it worth paying a premium for a new private home? (Ep 20)
With high interest rates, does it make more sense to buy a new uncompleted home instead of a completed resale home? Examine the pros and cons of buying new versus resale. Is maxing out the use of CPF funds on a home purchase wise? Crucially, should one hold back on buying a private home because of high interest rates and economic uncertainty? Senior correspondent Leslie Yee does a deep dive with ERA’s key executive officer Eugene Lim.
