DESPITE lingering concerns about their depreciating value and the adverse impact of the latest cooling measures, older HDB flats in Singapore are still in demand, says the latest quarterly report on HDB trends published by OrangeTee & Tie.
For the first quarter this year, 628 older flats - those more than 40 years old - were sold. They made up 13.9 per cent of total resale transactions - the highest percentage of older flats sold on record, the property consultancy noted.
