이것을 읽는 방법: The wizard confirms the couple's ABSD is $0 (as SC first private purchase) and their TDSR ceiling of ~$1.75M matches their stated budget. The shortlist immediately excludes D9/D10/D11 as above-budget and focuses on RCR east-coast fringe and OCR new towns — showing the 85 matching developments ranked by ShiokNest score. The top-ranked D15 FH development appears because it satisfies all criteria: budget range, 3BR availability, 3.1% yield above the 3.0% threshold, and long-term FH tenure suited to a 10-year hold. Without the wizard, this development might not appear in a standard portal search filtered by price and MRT distance alone.
