HDB upgraders · The honest read

Your flat has done
its job. Time it right.

Upgrading isn't a leap of faith — it's four numbers: what your flat sells for, what you can borrow, what ABSD you'll wear, and when. Run the 60-second check below and see where you actually stand.

75%
Max loan-to-value — bank & HDB loan alike
20%
ABSD if you buy the condo before selling (SC, 2nd)
$0
ABSD on the sell-first route (or via remission, married couples)
4%

    Indicative only — based on prevailing LTV, ABSD, MSR and TDSR rules. Your exact numbers depend on valuation, loan tenure and CPF usage; that's what the full consultation models.

    The one decision that matters

    Sell first, or
    buy first?

    A
    Sell first

    No ABSD, full sale proceeds in hand, clean loan quantum. The cost: you need somewhere to live in between — and the market can move while you wait. Right when cashflow is tight or the market is soft.

    B
    Buy first

    Secure the next home before letting go of the flat. You front 20% ABSD (remission possible for married couples who sell within 6 months) and carry two loans briefly. Right when the target is scarce and your holding power is real.
