I want to downgrade to HDB but my parents are reluctant, what can I do?

My parents are not SG citizens but ( edit: foreigners, PRs later on ) so they bought a condo when they first moved here. I’m SG citizen ( born here ) but not 35 or married so cannot buy HDB of my own yet. After graduating from uni and working for a few years, my parents have retired and I’ve been giving them allowance ever since. They are not always in SG, maybe 6-7 months out of 12 months in SG every year.

Now, I recently found out that I can actually buy a resale HDB because I’m Singaporean and my parents are PR. ( I hope I’m correct here, otherwise this whole post is useless lol )

I want to downgrade from this shit condo because the maintenance fees is stupid ( $350+ a month ), it’s small as shit, noisy neighbors and we can easily downgrade to a 600-700k+ resale HDB that will be 40% more spacious and be near amenities, etc.

For what it’s worth, this condo is out of nowhere, the nearest bus-stop is like a good 10 mins walk away… The nearest supermarket is 20 mins away. When I tell my parents this, they tell me “oh just order grabfood loh”. Walan… $20 for a cold meal, I don’t get it really. I know I can cook at home but sometimes I wanna go hawker eat too and the nearest one is 20-25mins away…

Please help bros and sis, how ah? how to persuade my parents? Can legit sell this condo for at least 1m and buy a nice 600-700k renovated HDB. I just feel like my parents trying too hard to act like “rich foreigners” when the reality is that we’re poor…

Back in uni I rented a HDB room for like $600 dollars and I fking loved it, 2 mins walk to bus-stop, 3 mins walk to chicken rice store, $4 extra chicken etc, sibei shiok. Nice neighbors, etc. Really felt right at home like a true Singaporean.
