Personally, i think your pros outweigh the cons.

Especially the highlighted two:
Changing school is a pain in the ass. And while kids can adjust very fast, but you need to go through the hassle and some tantrum moments with them.

Better travel time to work and fro. The best!

Condo has better security, depending on the community that you are going to be in as well. Landed, you will need to fork lotsa extra money to fix cctv or other security measures as well.

Your cons for condo is really not so significant, negligible honestly. But you should discuss with your wife.

Oh and one more thing, landed properties are really hot/warm in our weather. After getting used to living condo, i can never live in landed properties. So damn fucking humid and hot all the time.


PROS
- no need to spend upfront for DP, legal, etc. due to new project (only pay 1%)
- closer to work (<20km), can commute via LRT
- kids already start school, wont need to change school if move to this place later

CONS
- need to cont. rent until get VP + consider time to reno
- CONDO vs LANDED for kids, they already get used to landed house
- other CONDO cons (car park distance, noise, etc.) but mostly not a problem to me or wife, just less convenience
