Did anyone visited the showflat yesterday? Any comments?

I heard from an agent that the asking price is $990psf on average for a 2 bedder and $1000+psf for studio. I feel that it is too high considering that is D20. What do you guys think?

The chart shows more than 75-80% sold, most of them during the earlier launch at 700+psf (a year ago?). I agree that the current asking price is way too high, even for that area....

Another example of CASH flooded in the market. Too much money staying side line and cant wait any more. If you dont buy others will. If you are waiting for the price to drop Q32009, others are not. So that price will never drop. Instead, it raise because of penting demand and afraid of miss the boat, IR boat.

Yes, some 40 to 50 units were sold at around 950 psf during preview launch Sept/Oct 2008. The relaunch prices are now slightly higher with some units selling at above $1,000 psf. Surprisingly there were alot of buyers even at theslightly higher prices than in Sept/Oct 2008. Buyers do not mind paying a premium for the good location (elevated ground + quiet ambience) and short walking distance to Marymount MRT station and Shunfu wet market + food centres. Prices for Tressalveo units are higher than that for The Arte at Balestier Road. :tongue3:

I personally stay in the area, in an adjacent condo by the same developer.

No complaints about the area. It's convenient, with the upcoming MRT, the market, food centre and the short drive to town. It's a great place to stay, spacious with none of the balcony/bay window/planter crap (for our current place), and freehold too.

The difference is that we got our place for around 550psf a few years back (730+k for a 1300sf 3-bedder), now they are asking 950-1000+psf for the same area. We were still thinking of getting a unit at tresalveo, but one look at the prices last year during the preview completely turned us off.

Well, apparently there are still people buying at these prices, and that can only be good for the value of our place here. So no complaints from us either... :)

Oh, an agent there revealed they were sold at 700+ psf when first launched; maybe it is wrong. Anyway, I was impressed with the spaciousness of the 3BR...the smallest being 1550sf. Must say the location is good plus not many freehold in that area. For the project to be so well taken up, people must have thought it is worthwhile to pay that amount.

went to the showroom today.... not enough agent...

many of the visitors were left roaming in the showroom by themselves, including me...

anyway.... 1000sqft 2BR is going for about 980K++, while 1500 sqft 3BR is going for ~1.5Million....

the finishing of 2BR is totally cannot make it, and dont likethe design as the toilet is next to the unit entrance, once u step in, the toilet is at ur right hand side...

finishing and layout for 3BR is quite good and nice.... but with 1.5M price tag, it's a bit too steep...

Haha .. yup me 2. But too bad, not a chance .. coz someone mentioned 700+psf but then another verified launched last year ard 900+ psf ...

Btw, Marymount is not too bad a place rt, so maybe tt's why the pricing is like that? But is this project nearer to upper thomson or rafflesia that side ... haven't been to the showflat yet & juz want to find out more ...

Went down to the showflat.

Perhaps would have meet up with some of you guys there. some observations were indeed true.

1. no agent. which is good since no one to bother me and I can take a slow walk around to get some ID ideas.

2. Given the unbelievable prices, i am amazed by the sales figures. indeed who says there is an economic recession?! hahaha.

3. Location no exactly fantastic. Near to industrial area. multi storey carpark with swimming pools on the top floor of carpark. But i do like the idea of a separate lap pool and a recreational pool plus the positions of the clubhouse and gym.

But for the prices, its about 960k for a lower floor 2 bedder. But for a 2 bedder its abt 1000 square feets. Quite big.

My 3 :2cents: worth.

Actually I was at the showflat last weekend, really the crowd was fantastic, but manage to spoke with one of the marketing agent even he was quite busy during that time but he manage to explain most of the questions I ask. After studying for a few days on the surrounding, went back to the showflat today and mind most of the unit was sold and manage to confirm a unit, the agent still reconize me and got to know that during the preview launch last year some of the unit was sold above $1050psf. I personally think that nowadays freehold condo that is near to MRT is quite rare, seen alot of 99 year which near to MRT before committing this unit. At least have a peace of mind on freehold propety.

Generally agree with vinc1281 on those observations (plus his 4th cents worth about FREEHOLD, being near to mrt, etc.).

Went down this afternoon & was quite disappointed with 2 showflats:
i) Type 2A (2-bedder) does not have balcony, so u get it unless u go for 2 + 1 & above. Maybe to some peoeple prefer like this lah ...

ii) 3-bedder is about 142/155/158 sq m ..... not sure if this is really maximizing space. Personally think that since u're paying that price for every inch of space, it is important to utilise space effectively. If u get this, u also have to take the dry kitchen ... not sure if suitable to be used as bar counter??

iii) Think can forget about those 1-bedder ... odd shape!

iv) according to the specifications, electrical/TV/Telephone installation points not appearing to be generous enuff ... e.g. 2-bedder only 2 telephone points?? Living + Master + the other bedrm >>> should be at least 3 mah ..

But there are some plus points which magdalene would probably have noted:
i) bathrooms look pretty ok (bath-tubs also available for the 2 bedder), like the sliding glass door which is not exactly the conventional type ....
ii) kitchen for 3-bedder looks good ...
iii) if u like open concept kitchen, the 2-bedder one is fine too ....
iv) women will like this ... somewat adopting walk-in wardrobe concept (can be "con" too i.e. waste space).

Looks like the agents are not in a hurry to do biz ... this afternoon, not much crowd, so perhaps tt's why some younger agents were sent down??

Pros

1. Very near MRT

2. Quite some old indutrial buildings e.g. Bosch behind

3. Near RJC/RI

4. Optimize space for masterbedroom/toilet

5. No planter/balcony for 2-bedroom

6. N-S facing

7. Freehold


Cons

1. For 2 bedroom, the common toilet is immediately besides the entrance ... :doh: and the 2nd bedroom is side by side with the living hall

2. Odd-shape 1 bedroom

3. Walk-in wardrobe waste space (some may like it, depends)

Overall, a good buy, I think it is better than The Arte

hi august, if u haven't seen the advert ... it's on today's ST Classified.

hi jitkiat, agree with the bedrm entrance being near to living room ... in fact, for other layouts this seem to be quite common ... personally, think it's priced a little on the high side for the location leh .... but for those who want FH near MRT, this is good for consideration bah.

I noticed that there are no homogenous tiles or compressed marble for the 2 bedder.

It is directly facing a cross junction and diagonally across the fire station...

Traffic noise is a key negative factor....

Not sure if high floors would get a swee swee reserviour view though...

possible 99 LH new development across the road in front and beside HUDC blocks facing the reserviour. How would that affect this development? Since this one is sold out, the lands could be released anytime if the government wants to.

Yep, NSE is underground here. However, there may be an entrance into NSE here. After all, the govt acquired the whole row of terraced houses right in front of it...

Freehold and near MRT, not a bad combination, it's a pity that there will definitely be massive construction right in front of it for many years ahead due to the NSE. It cold be worse i guess, at least there was no part of its land acquired by the govt, unlike Nuovo or the CDL new projects along Thomson road.

There might be a significant development there, potentially with mall perhaps? Caldecott could be an interchange for Thomson Line going by the soil investigations. Govt will want to reap rich rewards for clearing the land. They will also need to pay for Thomson Line, NSE, etc etc

The high floors of the high plot ratio land over there will have a good view of MacRitchie Reservoir. Stay tuned for record-breaking prices (if not in this property cycle then in the next when Thomson Line is completed or near completion). See how they released 2 plots of land near Farrer Road MRT after the Circle Line is fully open.

An insignificant bit of land was actually acquired by govt right at the southern tip of the Tresalveo land parcel for NSE. If I remember correctly it was about the size of a bedroom or so. Maybe that's to cater for the construction of the southbound and eastbound surface road which perhaps gives some buffer between the NSE tunnel and Tresalveo.

Not true. My in-laws' house has wood flooring in living and dining. Still going strong after more than 30 years. But I believe the quality of wood in that time was different. When I renovated a 20+ years condo, the contractor told me not to change the wood flooring of the bedrooms because it was a s thick as his finger and he would not be able to find that anymore at a resonable price.

Have pros and cons.

"Good" schs in Bishan (Ai Tong, Cath High) are very difficult to get in even if you live within 1 km.

If you have girl and boy or haven't had them yet, then Gardens would be the best choice as Ai Tong takes both sexes. Upcoming MRT at door step (but need to wait till 2019). Amenities not at door step but easily accessible (J8 or Thomson Plaza).

they're cost was much lower. given that it's freehold and so near MRT, the can afford to sell it at 7% discount to market and still sell it at a higher price than their launch wor.
