Now that you're turning 35...
If you're single and 35, should you apply for an HDB flat?
Buying an HDB flat as a Single - What you absolutely need to know
Single in the City - Can I still afford a home?
What if I decide to buy a private residential property instead? Costs involved. Good to compare.

OK, this and the next link is not about buying houses, but deal with it, housing is just a distraction, a consolation price, to deal with the baggage which comes with turning 35... face it girl.

Applying for purchase of a Resale HDB Flat
Other fantastic local Resources:
Housing in Singapore by Teoalida - If you want newer builds e.g. past BTOs, this list is great in telling you when they MOP.
I love her blog too has it has an interactive chat box, and also offers floor plans! That is a huge TROVE.
Public Housing in Singapore
Renovation Costs - More in depth analysis on how to budget and estimate costs.
5 Things Not to Worry About While House Hunting - Often we forget that it is all about staging, and the furniture is moving with the Sellers, and you'd at least want to paint over your new home, so overlook those details. Focus on the potential of the house, what you would do with it if it is yours.
Guides to purchasing a Resale HDB Flat:
How to go about buying a Resale HDB Flat - From an official portal - eCitizen
Buying an HDB as a Single - Good resource though income ceiling has since been raised to $6000 since the post was published.
How To Buy a HDB Flat For Singles? - Apparently another official source - CPF board, but found a huge error: The income ceiling to qualify for Grants for Re-sale at least is $6000, not $3250. Not even sure how they arrived at that figure.
P.S. If you find errors in my information, PLEASE ALERT ME too so that I can correct it.
