Is an EC a Condo or an HDB? The Answer Changed in 2026 | EC Kaki EP 1 | Sam & Ben

EC = condo or HDB? Answer: BOTH πŸ˜… EC Kaki EP 1

Sam & Ben explain Executive Condos simply, with Jun & Mei.

What you'll learn:
πŸ™οΈ Built by a private developer: pool, gym, BBQ pits, guardhouse
🏒 But HDB sets who can buy (income ceiling, a Singapore Citizen in the family)
πŸ’° Early 2026: new ECs β‰ˆ $1,843 psf vs new private condos outside the city β‰ˆ $2,278 psf, about 19% less
πŸ”‘ After you get the keys, you live in it first: that's the MOP
πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬ After MOP, you can sell, but only to Singapore Citizens & PRs
🌏 Foreigners & companies can buy only when it's fully private
⏳ Older EC sites: MOP 5 years, fully private at year 10 · New sites (land tenders from 8 May 2026): MOP 10 years, fully private at year 15

Story locations come from each story's own data or the places it names, matched against the site's lists of new launches, HDB towns and planning areas. Neighbourhood figures are HDB resale transactions published by HDB on data.gov.sg (last 12 months) and URA caveats; new launch details are from developers' published information. News write-ups summarise the original reporting linked on each story. Your reading history, saved stories and quiz score are kept only in this browser. Nothing here is financial advice.
