For a 3-room HDB flat, the depreciation rate after 20 years is generally slower compared to private properties. Here are some key points:
- During the first 10 years, the rate of price decline for HDB resale flats is roughly similar to that of private properties, with a slightly faster rate of depreciation for HDB flats.
- After 20 years, the depreciation rate for HDB flats stabilizes. Studies have shown that older HDB resale flats, including those over 20 years old, depreciate at a rate of around 3% per year.
- This rate is significantly slower than the depreciation rates for private freehold and leasehold properties, which can depreciate by over 10% and more than 30%, respectively, after reaching a similar age.
This slower depreciation rate for HDB flats is attributed to various government schemes and policies that support the value of HDB properties.
