🏡⏳ Bought your next home before selling your existing property?
For some married couples, ABSD remission can make a huge difference, but the timeline is strict.
If an eligible Singaporean married couple jointly purchases a second residential property, they may qualify for an ABSD refund if they sell their first property within 6 months of purchasing the second property, subject to IRAS' conditions. IRAS specifically states that extensions to the 6-month sale timeline will not be granted.
A recent Tampines upgrader case highlights why the timeline matters.
The key planning points are:
📅 Know your exact ABSD remission deadline
🏡 Start marketing the existing property early
💰 Understand your potential ABSD exposure before buying
📊 Price the first property realistically to secure a buyer
⏱️ Allow enough time for negotiation and completion
For an upgrader, the goal isn't simply to buy the next property quickly. It's to coordinate the sale, purchase, financing and ABSD timeline properly.
🔗 https://propertynet.sg/tampines-upgrader-couple-absd-remission-deadline-close-call-2026/
📌 ABSD remission is valuable, but the deadline is not flexible. If you're relying on the refund, your sale strategy should start before you buy.

We Almost Paid Double ABSD: A Tampines Couple's Close Call With the Remission Deadline | PropertyNet.SG
A Tampines couple nearly forfeited a $304,000 ABSD refund by mistiming their HDB sale. Here is the six-month remission math and the framework that saved them.
🏡💰 What happens when your HDB selling price is lower than your CPF refund?
This is something many homeowners misunderstand.
If your HDB is sold at market value, but the selling price is not enough to cover both the outstanding housing loan and the CPF amount that needs to be refunded, you generally do not have to top up the CPF shortfall in cash. The CPF refund is limited to the remaining sale proceeds after repaying the outstanding loan.
For example, a homeowner may see:
💵 Selling price
🏦 Less outstanding housing loan
📋 CPF refund required
💰 Remaining cash proceeds
If the CPF refund exceeds what is available after repaying the loan, the shortfall isn't automatically a cash debt to CPF, provided the property was sold at market value.
This is why understanding your actual sale proceeds before listing your HDB is so important.
Before selling, check:
📊 Current market value
🏦 Outstanding loan
💵 CPF principal + accrued interest
💰 Estimated cash proceeds
🏡 How much you can actually use for your next property
🔗 https://propertynet.sg/hdb-negative-sale-cpf-refund-exceeds-selling-price-2026/
📌 A lower sale price doesn't automatically mean you need to write a cheque to CPF. But knowing the numbers before you sell can make a huge difference to your next property decision.

🏡⏳ Your HDB has been listed for weeks, but nobody is biting?
In a more balanced 2026 resale market, simply putting a flat on the market is no longer enough.
HDB resale prices have declined for two consecutive quarters, while the number of flats reaching MOP in 2026 has increased significantly. Buyers have more choices, which means sellers need to be more disciplined about pricing and positioning.
If your listing is not moving, look at these 7 areas:
1️⃣ Asking price
Are you anchored to past transactions instead of today's comparable sales?
2️⃣ Valuation gap
Does the asking price create a large financing or cash hurdle for buyers?
3️⃣ Property presentation
Would a buyer immediately see the value when they walk in?
4️⃣ Listing photos
Are your photos creating enough interest to generate viewings?
5️⃣ Marketing reach
Are you reaching enough qualified buyers?
6️⃣ Unit positioning
Are you clearly communicating what makes your flat better than competing listings?
7️⃣ Adjustment speed
If the market gives you feedback, are you reacting quickly enough?
With more resale supply entering the market, buyers have greater choice and negotiating power.

BT 17/8/2026 - OpenAI steps up Singapore footprint, in talks to lease 100,000 sq ft in Shaw Tower
🏡💰 Should you hold firm on your HDB asking price, or cut it to sell faster?
That decision has become more important in Singapore's 2026 HDB resale market.
The HDB Resale Price Index fell 0.3% in Q2 2026, following a 0.1% decline in Q1. That's the first back-to-back quarterly decline in nearly seven years. Resale transactions also remained below the same period last year, giving buyers more room to compare and negotiate.
So should sellers cut?
Not necessarily.
The right question is whether your asking price is still supported by:
📊 Recent like-for-like transactions
📍 Your flat's location and demand
🏡 Floor, orientation, condition and remaining lease
💰 Valuation and buyer financing ability
⏱️ Your required selling timeline
A premium flat with strong attributes may still justify a firm price. But if viewings are weak, offers are consistently below asking and comparable transactions have moved lower, holding firm without adjusting strategy can cost you valuable time.
