This article is part of a series that shares my journey to becoming a homeowner for the first time. Eventually there will be more article(s) that not only covers the actual cost on purchase upfront as in this article, but also the process of purchasing resale flat using the HDB Resale Portal, the recurring cost and renovation cost.
In a few days' time, I will finally become a homeowner! This month sees the usage of most of my CPF-OA balance as well as the cash for down-payment. Whelp, it looks like I will not be adding much (if any) position to investments for quite some time as expenses and saving a larger sum for emergency funds takes precedence - for now.
In this post, I'll share my actual expenditure of purchasing my home and compare it to my expected numbers as depicted in my older post here.
The verdict?
For the flat purchase price...
