Housing prices are not expensive - it just consists of 4 walls, ceiling and floor made of mortar. The prices are actually based on speculation by word and mouth. Its only good for the rich and sometimes they pay to speculate for a good buy and that's where housing prices rocketed.
HDB SHOULD REMOVE THE RESALE LEVY - this is where speculation lead to this unpopular move. HDB should provide 2 opportunities - "downgraders" and "upgraders". Anyone who uses up this 2 opportunities, then a resale levy applies. It cannot apply across the board. Its very unfair to those who are genuine "upgraders or downgraders".

My dear friend, thats not going to happen anytime soon..For the simple reason that it is just too profitable. Amidst all this talk of helping find good deals and buying flats, don't forget that the government is the biggest landlord. Who do u think benefits in a active property market? How much revenue do you think HDB generates every year? Our property prices will continue rising albeit slowly over the next few years... Its just a matter of time before we overtake HK and Tokyo... If its difficult for Singaporeans now, I dread to think of the future...

CPF should not made us paid back the accrued interest used for housing after sale of flat since the money is supposed to be ours.

HDB should allow single PR over age of 35 to purchase resale flat from open market.

Buy your house in JB. For the price of a 4 rooms flat here, you can get a nice bunglow in JB with some spare cash left over for renovations.

Actually it's almost impossible, firstly circumstances might change. That's the rich might becomes poor and vice versa. Next you'll be forcing the people to own the house that is not their preferrence, but according to their financial status. I think that housing should be sold to whoever can afford it, that's no matter how many rooms flat, as long as you can afford, it should be allow.
As it's public housing, thus, for the public. We shouldn't be punishing those better off, who prefers a smaller house from getting one, as they're able to buy it. whereas if the one who can't afford a bigger flat, but want to have one for whatever reason then, they should get a guarantor to undertake their cause.All in all, since it's a public housing, there shouldn't be any rule against any local from getting a house that they want and can afford.
Next is the unrealistically high pricing of the public housing. With it, a lot of locals are financially strain just to have a roof over their head. Therefore it will indirectly force those not too well to do to buy smaller house, eventhough they might see the need to have a bigger one. Will the Government be able to come up with an idea how to bring down the price of the housing without hurting the reseller market?
