Home buyers get more choices from executive condos

As the government applies the revised monthly income ceiling of $12,000 to all EC projects, regardless of their launch date for public sale.

Here’s the statement from the Ministry of National Development:

On 15 Aug 2011, we raised the monthly income ceiling to purchase new Executive Condominiums from $10,000 to $12,000, for EC projects which were launched for public sale from 15 Aug 2011. Our intent was to ensure that the income ceiling would be applied consistently within each EC project.

We have, however, received many appeals to apply the revised income ceiling of $12,000 to all EC projects, regardless of their launch date for public sale. If approved, this will enable homebuyers to enjoy a wider selection of EC units across projects and locations.

MND has reviewed the public feedback and agreed that the suggestion was sound. With immediate effect, the revised income ceiling of $12,000 will apply to all EC projects. At the moment, five EC projects which were launched before 15 Aug 2011 still hold about 600 unsold units (details of these projects can be viewed on the HDB InfoWeb). Potential EC buyers will benefit from a wider choice.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
