Punggol and Sengkang oversupply, MRT fever fading.......
Sim Lian made the first move to clear their ATT before other well capitalized developers blink and drop prices.
paying additional 100-300psf for near MRT? Is it really worth it? hmmm...... People are still buying the idea but developers are doing otherwise....
Anyway, North is the way to go.....
Strong development in north will mitigate bad economy in the next 4-8 yrs. The base price we see now will still be the base in time to come.....
Other areas? Hmmm....
Same thinking.Originally Posted by solsys
There will be a institution in the ctrl (as accordance to plan), hopefully a international school, like Singapore American School in Woodlands (many ang mo).
No development, no good
Too many, also no good. No exclusiveness if surrounded by HDB.
Development must have wider range like commercial, industrial, landscaping, transport network enhancement etc. Not only for Residential purpose.
Under GLS, yes, too many in Sengkang & Punggol. Eat also must eat slowly. How to digest. lol.
Leaving the sick Dow & Euro aside, if i am the developer, i would most probably give it a miss in bidding @ northeast. Far too many and you are being sandwiched. Anytin happened negatively "infront", you're stuck.
If this project, price is not right etc, buyer can move/wait for the next one. This makes developer very difficult to price their units higher despite the increase in land price, thus, the fall in bidding price/ interest in that area.
Look along Balestier Rd alone, about 15 projects are now U/C. Scary.
Kovan Melody??Originally Posted by Pro888

KV shd be 5xxpsf and now worth 1100psf at best
i guess citylights
He said super near...Citylights should fit the bill, correctOriginally Posted by devilplate
Cannot be Southbank cos it's launched after that
Anyway Citylights was probably the only one to experience close to 300% gains...the rest of RCR didn't do that well maybe 200% nia

gov now also up the plot ratio of those near MRT so expect more commercial and residential complex to be built.
But those not so near MRT remain to be tested.
so woodlands is better or yishun, what do you think?
yes...southbank is the 2nd chance for those who missed CLOriginally Posted by mantrix
ppl say jalan besar area is low class/casket etc last time.....totally look down on tat area....but who knows, expats willing to pay TOP dollar to rent a plc there
i used to condemn citysq, but hey prices also appreciated quite a fair bit
when it TOP in 09, can get 8xxpsf for 3bdr lor
I realised the size of city light is pretty decent, perhaps that adds on. Now we could not get such good size anymore.Originally Posted by mantrix
their layout VERY efficient and all layout got cross ventilation except for their smallest 1bdrOriginally Posted by rattydrama
u shd pay a visit even u r just a window shopper
Citylights & Citysquare were both i have seen before buying this 1.Originally Posted by mantrix
It is Meraprime @ Tiong Bahru. Good Rental yield.
I didn't choose Citylights cos to near to ICA. Too many FW.Originally Posted by mantrix
Both can consider, no much different with reference to Pasir Ris, Tampines & Simei.Originally Posted by rattydrama
Woodlands got NSE, TSL & Regional town ctr/hub.
Yishun got NSE, integrated transport hub & Seletar Aerospace with many big MNCs (good for rental, only 5 min drive).
I would prefer Yishun becos of developments in the near future.
Ya. Koven was the first one i had visited. Then Citysquare followed by Citylights. In the end picked Meraprime.Originally Posted by mantrix
I didn't choose Kovan Melody was it is @ Hougang. Why i went there in the first place, i also can't recall. Not many projects at that time.
Meraprime only 1300 psf nw leh...Originally Posted by Pro888
I would prefer those near Sembawang MRT. Yishun MRT could be too expensive and a distance to MRT cos it will be at the opposite. But maybe no MRT noise. Let's see.Originally Posted by Pro888
But my first choice would be next to Woodlands MRT as distance to expressway is quick and there are many good schools around there.
somehow, I have given up working and travelling to town, the traffic is so so bad and worsen.
I doubt the road to be built will lease the traffic by alot.
ya you know I am very particular about this....good memory.Originally Posted by devilplate
Good to re-invest again. The support could be 1100psf @ bad times. Should hold on to it for another 4-5 years. Good to buy something now.Originally Posted by Pro888
U shd hf bot the gem during tat time.... Residences@evelynOriginally Posted by Pro888
Haha. Anytin you buy in 2005 was a gem. During that time, no crowd, good facing & can nego with ease. I didn't bring cheque along. Just went there see see look look. In the end, bought 1 abv 30 flr. Good view. The agent followed us back to get the pay cheque.Originally Posted by devilplate
Last few transactions with 2 hitting abv $1.4k, 1 @ $1399, 1 @ $1372 and 1 @ $1327. Mine abv 30th flr should command close to $1.4k or more. Fully reno.
Can rent out easily, i mean very easily.
Total 6 units per flr. My neigbours, 2 ang mos family, 2 Japs, 1 indian national. I am the only Singaporean.
Ok, back to the topic of yishun, Sembawang....
Yishun Emerald transacted at $835psf for a 958sqft unit! The same price can get u a new unit high floor non pool facing unit in 8cy.
That's a record price!
Yishun coming up!
Wow! Last high for YE was $773.
Only the beginning.
Sale of balance flats in Yishun in particular, overwhelmed by 1000 applications is to 41 units.
With the moderate rate sale of land parcels in the north by govt (unlike northeast), coupled with the high demand, will see developers bid more aggressively for the EC site due to less " competition". Sure will come out in the news. 800psf. Haha
Recent high for Canopy EC was $702.
Hi Pro, E2 stck 25 1163sqf 11 floor, 810psf worth to buy? unblock pool view. I think can consider right?Originally Posted by Pro888
sorry I refer to 8 courtyards
Northoaks broke $700psf.
