Singaporean couple debates whether to move closer to parents or stay in current BTO flat


SINGAPORE: A household is seeking advice on Reddit about moving into another area for resale or just staying at their current place. In the post, the netizen remarked: “Wanted to check if people would advise to move to another area for a resale 4rm 70-80y house (est cost 1-1.2mil) or remain at current place (BTO. next year MOP and 10y hdb loan without [additional] cash)” 

The netizen shared that their monthly household income is $14-15,000, excluding bonuses, has no intention of getting a car, and currently has a helper but intends to stop hiring soon, which will not be difficult in terms of cleaning when they downgrade to a 4-room flat. 

The dilemma is also caused by several reasons. Several reasons as to why they wanted to move are that the new place is closer to their parents’ house, who offer support for the kids, as well as primary school considerations. However, what keeps them from moving is how comfortable they are now with their current set-up. 

With this, the netizen asked: “How to decide if to move?”
