Was quoted bet $880 to $905 psf for a 3+S pool view facing.

Sometimes I dun understand why pool-facing so much more expensive? Price difference for same size and floor but different stacks can be about $80,000! For investment decisions, just wanna find out from you guys - is facing important to you?

Hard to say. Different people have different opinion. Some feel very strongly that only CR+FH will have capital gains while OCR will bleed like hell due to oversupply. But then again, there are much much more HDBs than OCR and upcoming HDB supply is huge and would this mean HDB will have oversupply?

I guess which project have better upside will depend on Bedok Residences actual pricing. For Palette, I would say upside in next 2-3 years is about 10% (average) max. Downside can be -20% if things turn awful.

If Bedok Residences launch at average 1200psf, probably upside in next 2-3 years is abt 10% (average) max. Downside can be about -20% if things turn awful.

For own stay, my main criteria is no West sun. West sun is a killer to me.

I think this has been the approach since Livia's era.
Choose from different theme. psf increase, size decrease.

This is call cover backside mah. But if Bedok residences average is 1.4kpsf...then I think not much upside lor. I would say u can benchmark against optima but +10% as bedok has amenities.

**azeoprop** · 13-11-11, 16:36

What is the price of the cheapest 2 bedder available?

Ya lor with such quantum sure sold out la. Given the plethora of activities, some foreigners (ESP ang MOHs) will choose the architecture/facilities over NV or Livia. Some more ang mohs love hot hot sun cos they so tired of winter....kekekek...but whether ang mohs find pasir ris attractive or not I dunno....

Only 8@Courtsyard can fight this project, #2 cheap project this year. I am sure in 2 weeks time they can clear 500, just buyers from Tampines/Pasir Ris will be enough.

Like DP said, if they maintain pricing, will seriously kill D18 subsales/resales, DBR/Livia 2br is 900k, this project is cheaper by 150k and has an extra study room that can rent out as bedroom

donkey head also will buy this one compared to DBR/Livia

I left already ... stack 53 2+S poolview sold out (8th floor 893sqft, 790k) ... so I guess any 2br with pool view will be gone on the first day ...

Ya according to agent yesterday told me 2 more plots to be released. Guess CDL will release the next plot once palette sold out lor, provided market conditions are still ok.

Actually if you go to the new Changi City Point this weekend...you might be quite shock that 'such ulu' mall can be so crowded and so many people buying so many things. Most likely these are people living around the area.

Was at the showflat this morning. I must say there are more agents than people. To achieve 200 plus units sale within these 2 days is really an achievement as the project hasn't officially launch yet. The finishes is not too bad with high ceiling, but the living/dinner room is really small. I'm quite disappointed that the showflat wasn't model according to plan, some walls are taken out, and in one room the wardrode are taken out and door frames are made bigger. I thought the government has stopped such practice. The project is very mass market style with no unique features. I can't think of a major selling point for this project, apart from the golf stimulator but to most pp it is no big deal. Pricing quantum is similar to NV but on psf basis it is more expensive, frankly I think if keen to buy 3 or 4 bedders better to look at the remaining units at NV.

**azeoprop** · 13-11-11, 17:01

How about the 2 bedder stacks 58 and 60? West facing but for mid to high floor can see through the whole development and pool? Closest to the exit for mrt also.

Actually the fact is that big plot of land was divided into 5 projects all along. Go to onemap.sg, chose the landlot option to see how the 5pcs are divided lor. I don't think Palette will sold out so fast. CDL will slowly release the stacks.

2-3 years ago along Bedok Reservoir...everyone was also saying the same thing. History *might be* repeating itself again...

Pt 1: I think the showflat rules/regulations has not started yet.
Pt 2: Major selling point: Choices still available.

I find it very annoying why the showflat rules/regulations taking so long to be implemented.The govt should have imposed it long time ago and now still asking the feedback from parties. Why need feedbacks it is common sense that showflats should reflect the exact unit layouts to the buyers irregardless whether up or down market, why protect the developers?

Even to build hawker centers now the government also need to appoint consultants, hawker centers have been in Singapore for the longest time, and most singaporean love hawker centres. why need to take so long to do so many studies, just build lah...
