COE is going to get really expensive in the next 1-2 years. Even taxi company upped their fares to afford the COE. I doubt there will be many drivers in this apartment after it TOPs.

yes just heard the news. this will bid up demand for housing near MRT as if the demand isnt high enoughh. despite the crowding out effect and the getting-regular intermitent train breakdown, it's still the most efficient mode of public transportation.

Well for now at least. We are also waiting for LTA and SMRT to announce the price hike for trains too... its only a matter of time. Taxi started first so what's preventing SMRT?

Bus operations don't really make a lot of money. Labour, maintenance n insurance (pls see yesterday's Bishan accident) costs are going up, very soon buses and MRT prices will go up. It's probably due to political reason that the transport companies are being told to hold back their fares increase. Taxi is a luxurious public transport, so it is given the green light to up its fares. Given that it is led by NTUC (GLC), it is signalling green light for fare increase to the transport industry too.

Everything also going up or potentially going up. No wonder inflation rate hovers comfortably above 5%.

So are you going to compromise the feel of a PH just coz its too expensive? Then you buy an expensive small PH you might regret it also... For the same price, consider a 3 or 4 bedder at other projects or even a larger PH at mass market project. Just my 2 cents worth!

[Laguna]

I thought this piece of land was FH but it is selling at 99 years..
failed to understand the buyers to pay such a price for a project like that...

I also thought at first sight FH, until you posted this.

[bargain hunter]

i also thought so. but noticed that the landed houses beside this project are 99 year leasehold. so the land is prob owned by govt after 99 years and not someone else?

[ysyap]

99 LH can sometimes demand a higher psf than FH...

[DC33_2008]

That is why always hold on to FH landed properties.

I nearly bought a PH at a just TOP project in D19 for about $2mil but after viewing the apartment, decided otherwise... master bedroom can hardly squeeze a Queen size bed. The other 3 bedrooms all fit for hobbits only . So much space wasted as PES and balcony... yes not worth the money. Just checked its status today, some 10 months after I last viewed it and its still in the market asking for the exact same price... Give me 50% discount and maybe I might consider...

[bargain hunter]

28 more sold at 1270psf median in feb. 64% sold.

Why are people buying this?

99LH selling at FH pricing, pool is like a huge Jacuzzi size, in the middle of 3 roads.

[bargain hunter]

coz they don't know its 99?

Yea. honestly looking at the 13xx pricing during the launch i thought it was FH too! nested among all the landed ppty

[Montaigne]

coz they don't know its 99?

Lol! Slow sales anyway.

[ysyap]

The road into the landed is so narrow... must queue up if the car ahead is turning right! To live here requires patience... not suitable for me!

Aspial's results announcement says expected TOP in H1 2013.
