Depends on your needs....Ecopolitan EC is nearer to Punggol MRT station and future Waterway Point Mall.

Waterwoods EC is developed by reputable Sing Holdings and UE...nearer to Punggol golf driving range and Punggol Plaza.

The EC site at Anchorvale Crescent won by Qingjian will be launched this year Q3.

All 3 EC projects are marketed by SLP.

I think it is prudent to wait for a few months and see what's available. If you are looking at EC in Punggol, the upcoming one beside Waterway Sunbeam is probably the best located EC in Punggol. It is the only EC that has waterway view and though it is a 3 LRT station away from Punggol Waterway point, there's a high rise commercial development at Oasis LRT station which is one station away and definitely walkable distance.

Here's the location :

Thanks I heard that the 2 upcoming ECs units will be smaller to keep the quantum within the 30% MSR range?

Hi thanks, It seems that Ecopolitan is much better located,with more condo facilities compared to Waterwoods which is at the far end, and less facilities.

No idea but you might be right. Anyway, that's why I suggest waiting to see what is being launched. Unless Ecopolitan and Waterwoods are selling out and you really like those units and must buy before it is gone.

Heard that only about 40% sold for Waterwoods.What about you are you looking for one too? :)

I think there's pros and cons for both.

Ecopolitan is nearer to Punggol Downtown, probably 10 minute walk but it can be noisy if you have a unit facing the TPE. The co-space feature offers you flexibility in configuring the space to your needs.

Waterwoods might be the only EC that has private lift for some of the units. It has lesser units so you won't get a feeling of being "crowded".

The future ECs will be smaller for sure. Developers are unlikely to build high quantum units to kill themselves. With the current EC cooling measures, max loan a EC buyer can take is $800K+. It will be much less if the buyer is older than 35 and got other existing loan.

Yup thought so too, hopefully by 2nd half of this year, the new ECs will be launched, seems like Waterwoods sales are moving very slow, went to the showroom left many bigger units, and there many 'afternoon sun' units unsold.

There are two 4 Bedroom suite units left at Lush Acres...
$7xx psf.

Fernvale Close area now in media focus with impending launch of Riverbank and Rivertrees. Seletar Mall will be up by end of this year.

That area is actually not too bad ! With Seletar mall and a LRT station nearby. Out of the 4 condos there, I like RiverTree the most as it has the longest frontage of the Punggol reservoir and the concept is similar to a resort.

The potential downside to that area is the new semi expressway that is going to cut through the reservoir

Both RiverBanks and RiverTrees residences will be launch soon so just keep a open mind and go and take a look. In certain scenario, I think you might be able to get more financing for a PC compared to a EC.

Are they around EC prices?

Riverbank pricing is closer to EC than most PC. Indicative pricing from an email I received :

The 3BR (947 sqft) is $880,000 or $929 psf.
The 3BR dual key (1044 sq ft) is $980,000 or $939 psf.

I am not sure about your expection of "around EC prices" but PC will command a premium over EC as the land cost is higher and there's no restrictions.

Paying higher land price does not make the land more atas

I think EC is still ok for example Eco and WW still not bad for a 3 bedder unit with utility.Not sure about PC.

Let look at the surrounding PC.

H20 average psf was $952, their average quantum was $970k.
Lush Acres as an EC was priced average psf $792 and quantum at $933k.
Quantum wise, both PC and EC are about the same, but size wise EC is bigger by 20%.
But this an unfair comparsion because H2O was launch in Mar 11 whereas Luch was launch in Sept 13, both are 2.5 years apart, price of PC had increase and the different may not be 20% any more.

Let look at another area, Heron bay vs Riversail, though Heron bay does have pocket of river view.
Riversails launch in Sept 12 with average psf $872 at average quantum $866k while Heron bay was launch in Oct 12 with average $732psf and average quantum of $930k. So which is value for money?

You can say EC is cheap, but buyer will only look at their budget.
If you say EC is for own stay, then there are people renting out too.

Not easy to justify EC pricing, they have to be very fair comparison.
Coming to purchasing, it is another story.

EP average quantum $954k @ $791psf.
WW average quantum $1.02mil @ $802psf.
If yr IPA can reach this level, then u should have many choices.

No one can tell you what is worth to buy or what is of value to you.

It is something you need to answer by yourself.

If you still don't know the answer yet, it is not the right time to make the decision.

As suggested by No_7, go to the showroom, look around and do your sums.

You definitely have to put in the effort to do some legwork before you gain the knowledge and the info.
