Tampines Greenlace.. Our queue number was way out at 217 but we were very lucky to be able to make a selection as some people before us dropped out. Block 871B #04-22. Everyone would have wished they had picked a great location and we hoped we picked the right one too.
This house of ours don't come cheap. At 94 square meters and buying at a price of $334,390.00, is very very expensive as compared to house in the states. (My American friends will be laughing at us.) It's ridiculous but we have no choice. Somewhere, something must have gone so wrong. No use complaining as everyone is sharing the same problem. Looking at the bright side, our house is considered near to our parents' as we are just a bus ride away.
Finally, works are underway. They are already clearing the forest and it's really happy to see things progressing. The completion date of our home is set at 2017 but we were told by our peers that they will usually be ready before the date of completion. Hopefully, it will be ready by 2016 when we returned from Idaho.
The process of purchasing a house is not easy as we had sent numerous paper works like pay slips, letter of employment, university letter etc. to HDB just to get our loan approved. Last week, I received a letter telling us that our application for extra grant has been approved. Today, I received a letter to inform us about our appointment to sign the lease and etc. The amount we have to pay was astonishing but fortunately, we have enough funds in our CPF if not we'll have to come out the extra cash. Phew.. Just got my bonus.. Time to save this money up for rainy days.
