I called up this agent and found out the unit was valued by UOB.

regulator comes to west subruban area, really surprising as from past records(quite some time ago), I thought you always advocate D12-D14 and slam those area that is suburban will have less area, I guess time tells and will change a person opinion...Originally Posted by Regulators

The rental market is very strong. I just manage to renew a rental at a good rate with lots of interested parties - I was pleasantly surprised. I never knew Regent Hts can walk to Bt Batok MRT station. Will definitely be on a lookout for good bargains.

Rental in the mass mkt is good now! All the best.. "HUAT AH"Originally Posted by Regulators
D14 Kembangan ok lah, but if you ask me to go near the chicken coop, i think better not, however near town it may be. guillemard is also out for me

I have the same thought as you. Private properties at Bukit Batok & Hillview area are undervalued. Just look at the transacted price of Lakefront & Caspian (ave $800 - $1100 psf) two mrt stations away from upcoming 2nd CBD. Pte Properties at Bukit Batok & Hillview will have a lot more upside potential. For mass market properties, it is always better to buy near mrt. For this case, buy properties a few stations away from JE mrt like Bukit Batok mrt (Jade...), Bukit Gombak mrt (Madeira, Guilin View..) & Hillview mrt (Glendale Park..) should be good buy.Originally Posted by Regulators

The best is the one at 10 mile Junction and the mix development linking to it. It is the BIGGEST hub there.
The next best Hub is the one near to glendale.
The least preferred area is CCK and beyond.
10 mile junction is by FEO, so won't be cheap. Mayspring spiked up too high already so no point. i used to contemplate linear but when i actually went in to see the poor facilities and the narrow elongated strip of land, i was put off by it. Hazel Park was a good buy last year, but no longer now. glendale is near future hillview mrt no doubt, but no space to develop amenities there. The plot of land fronting glendale is very big but that is just beside Mindef, so apart from having more residential development, nothing else.

Yes... FEO's project will lift up surrounding prices. Forget Equivalent Options.Originally Posted by Regulators
Mayspring not a value buy...
Linear.... the price is Linear.. the shape is Linear... and the future price is Linear.. past price can definitey considered Linear if factor in inflation. Not as preferred. LH FH don't really matter there. What price to pay for 900 years more than 99 years. You can see a fine example there... no diff or even worst. Hazel Park goodie with a bit more room for fats.

Yes, no big commercial there. In fact, you might have to watch out for any massive HDB project there. They were there in the older days. ... cleared them before MRT announcement and ... put in back after annoucement? Perhaps even a primary school might be placed there at the same time.
CCK... its linked by a LRT to Lot 1.. perhaps can tap a bit to the water flow there. Water is coming up from Bedok reserviour via DTL. Lease preferred to some doesnt equate to bad buys.
The development at 10 mile junction will be SOHO units. Cannot use CPF for the purchase & will need to pay additional 7% GST. Supply of SOHO units are limited, therefore should have upside potential. Preference will be to buy SOHO in the CBD but I am not sure how it will perform in the OCR.Originally Posted by kingkong1984
In case I sound like overselling the potential there, dun get me wrong, prices are from depressed to normal state. Which is at least 850 psf. It will be above 1000 for some units. The one I am really talking about is the mixed development linking to 10 mile and not 10 mile.
i tot an agt mentioned tat no GST and able to use CPF??Originally Posted by BB
to me SOHO just a gimmick....its the same as any residential
if you got strong legs why not? but certainly not for me...if it is vERY near mrt, regent height will not be provideing free shuttle bus to mrt in the past as I know...Originally Posted by Wild Falcon

To me Small Office Home Office makes no sense. Anybody can make their home an office these days so long as they are self-employed. Just need to seek permission to have their home registered as an office address.

i remember my mother bringing me to a small coffeeshop under a HDB flat in hillview for dinner after her work and I would order hor fun all the time. back then, there were only a few HDB blocks along hillview. All the condos in bukit batok like The Jade, Madeira, Guilin View and West Mall etc were not even built yet.
