HDB Owners Are Upgrading — Should You?

See what you can afford - without touching your savings

If your flat has appreciated, this might be the perfect time to level up.
We’ll help you check if an EC, EM, or condo fits your budget — with no sales talk and no guesswork.

Why more HDB Owners are choosing to upgrade

From financial gains to lifestyle perks - upgrading is about more than just moving house.

Build Long-Term Wealth

Condos and ECs often grow in value faster than older HDBs — helping you grow your property wealth.

Lifestyle-Focused Living

Enjoy condo-style facilities like pools, gyms, and greater privacy — not just on staycations.

Smarter Financing Options

Use your CPF, flat sale proceeds, and even grants to upgrade — often with little to no cash upfront.

More Freedom & Flexibility

No more HDB rules. Rent out your place, sell when you want, and buy on your terms.

Over the past two decades, condos have grown 226.63% in value, far outpacing HDBs. This isn’t just a chart — it’s proof of what upgrading can do for your wealth.

 

While your HDB may have appreciated, private properties typically outperform in the long run. Many Singaporeans have already made the shift — gaining better returns, more freedom, and a better lifestyle.

 

Want to know if you're in a position to do the same? Let’s work out your numbers and explore your options — no pressure, just clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I upgrade if I still have an HDB loan?

Yes — and many people do. You’ll usually pay off your HDB loan using the sale proceeds from your flat, then take on a new home loan for your next property. We’ll help you work through the steps and see if it’s doable.

What if I don't have a big cash savings?

It’s still possible. Most upgraders use their CPF and flat sale profits to cover the majority of costs. In many cases, little or no upfront cash is needed — especially with smart loan structuring and available grants.

Do I qualify for an Executive Condo (EC)?

That depends on your income and citizenship. Generally, you’ll need to be a Singaporean or PR household with a combined monthly income under $16,000. We’ll check all eligibility criteria for you so you don’t have to guess.

What’s the difference between an EC, Executive Maisonette, and private condo?

Each option has its pros and cons.

  • ECs: more affordable but come with eligibility conditions 

  • Executive Maisonettes: Older, but very spacious and often well-located.

  • Private condos: More expensive but fully flexible with top-tier amenities.

    We'll help your figure out which fits your lifestyle and finances best.
