Finally decided to sell it.
Expected no problem getting a buyer but didn't expect it to be such hot property. My parents hit a treasure when they got this place 21years ago, so conveniently located to so many amenities and the best school in the whole estate plus we are at the lift landing and have one of the biggest area for our room type.
Only just posted on the free listing on the HDB website in the morning and within half an hour, i received 6 calls, and by the afternoon almost 10.

2 came to view the place this evening and 1 will be coming on sunday evening. Another, straightaway offered to close the deal at my asking price which was $15K above the valuation price and even pay for all agents' commissions without even the need to view the flat. Then another one who came to view the flat in the evening with her family also offered the same terms.
Now, i have 2 very keen buyers who really looked genuinely in need of the place desperately for their kids, both in primary school. Thing is, they did not up the offer further. I didn't want to commit either and did not ask for any deposit. Afterall, it's only the first day.
My family were greedier than i thought and blamed me for not asking for $30K above the valuation price. How could they have the cheek? Ours is not even renovated and already 21years old. And we did not even bother to tidy up or repaint the flat, so it looked really quite unappealing , at least , to me. Still, there were parties interested enough. i guess God's favour is upon us.
Well, a check on the website of the history of transactions in the last 3 months of the flats around my area showed there were indeed people selling their flats at prices (25K to 30K) way above the valuation but not in my block though. i'm not sure if i should ask the two potential buyers to up their offer further cos they are already paying quite a lot after the agents' fees and GST and other miscellaneous stuff. But, else, how should i decide who to sell it to? Both have their soap opera stories and reasons that sounded pitiful...
Hmmmmm, i said i'll get back to them by Sunday, i pray i'll make the right decision by then.
