They subsequently forked out about $1.42 million for their three-room condo in Choa Chu Kang last year.  Speaking to AsiaOne, the couple said that their decision to make the move was driven by investment goals and the future of their two children. «We have been living in our HDB flat for a period of time and we have seen a healthy growth in our flat's market value. We thought it was a good time for us to upgrade to a private home,» said Teh, who operates his own business. Goh, who works as an admin manager, added that the leap was also made for their children as they got to enjoy the condo's facilities and the proximity to their schools. This couple is among the growing number of HDB flat owners who made the leap to private housing in 2024.
