It’s time for the refinancing Public Service Announcement again. Whenever interest rates are on the decline, some HDB owners will refinance into cheaper bank loans. I sort of felt this was coming, when a broker mentioned floating rates could be sub-two per cent again. And true enough, a few days ago, the Straits Times reported more flat owners […]
