Good article. Lots of other factors to consider such as Clementi having a bunch of BTOs currently under construction which will MOP in 7-10 years time which would in theory further reduce the value of older Clementi flats (30+ years) while keeping the value of the newer Clementi flats stable.

Hey Gad. Thanks for bringing up that point. You’re right in the sense that the older flats would face even stronger competition when new ones come up! This is one of the issues with having BTOs too often, the resale market for old HDBs doesn’t get much support unless we increase the population or restrict new HDB housing supply.
