New Home!

After months of spending weekends going for viewings, we finally settled down on a new house! Although it's a downgrade in size from our spacious 5-rm to a 93 sqm 4-rm, and one level closer to earth, it still boasts a fantastic view just like our old place. It's not as convenient as having a mall and mrt / bus interchange next door, but there is a coffee shop and small NTUC downstairs with all the ATMs, and 10-15 mins walk to the mall. Timing wise it's quite ideal as the sale completion will be end Sep and we can renovate and move in after our number 2 is born.

We have been hesitant to pay for a premium price with high COV all these months, but prices just keep creeping up, in spite of all the talks about them softening soon. But this house meets all our various conditions (high floor, good view, good condition, amenities) and hard to come by, so we decided to bite the bullet. Almost didn't get this unit as we were facing off and having a price war with a Chinese PR couple, but thanks to our lucky baby (being pregnant has its advantage!), the seller's agent helped us to secure the unit with the seller.

Now it's settling the loans stuff and thinking about renovations to keep me busy before baby 2 (haven't decided a name for him yet) arrives!
