The other day, we were surprised to learn that a client wasn’t aware that there were HDBs that had balconies. While it certainly isn’t ubiquitous, it also isn’t as rare as you might think! So this week, we sieve out…

It’s been more than a year since we last looked for the cheapest 5-room flats; and given that 2021 to 2022 has seen significant changes, it’s high time for an update. While the most affordable HDB towns haven’t changed much…
