Stabilize the price of new HDB flats

I suggest that the Government should set the prices of new HDB flats based on a multiple of the average earnings, rather than on the prices of resale flats. The prices for new flats could serve as a benchmark for the prices of resale flats, rather than the other way round.

If the HDB publishes the prices of new flats and is ready to build more flats to meet demand, it would help to create a stable market for the new and resale flats. This would be better for the economy and for the people who need a place to live in.

A person's home should not be subject to speculation or for asset enhancement. The prices of the home should be kept at an affordable level, relative to the average earnings.
