Sky Habitat - Bishan

[DC33_2008]

Did you see any thread in here where mop and papers landed on the shelter of a patio unit in a condo development? I can anticipate that some people will say that such thing does not happen in this upmarket condo as they are higher class people who pay $1600 - $1700psf.

Agree with all of the above.

That's why the sales of Thomson Grand have been quietly doing well. SH has given a boost to TG.

Imagine all the cigarette butts dropping down onto your balcony from above with the step design. It might work in Western countries where perhaps ppl are more civic-minded but not in SG unless there's a quantum leap in attitude. I have an enclosed balcony in my condo and there's still cigarette butts appearing on the sill. This is despite the security going round personally to each unit to knock on the door and remind the occupants not to throw cigarette butts off the balconies.

High class people don't use mop and papers?

Some pple just wanna perform, n make a statement "they can". This guy buy 2 units n announce to whole Singapore is simply making a loud statement.

On a separate note, the news said 6k + units sold in 1st qtr, record sales. Now plus SH record price. Confirm siao Liao , CM confirm coming.

[teddybear]

Not again to target resale properties and foreigners?
May be they want to look at: Cash back, deferred payment, SSDs causing ineffective for new launch?
May be they won't because coffeeshop talks said they won't, no reasons for them to shoot their own foot....

Public servant earn alot..... last time we complain minister earn alot now we must SCRUTINISE PUBLIC SERVICE!

They are in relatively safe job during recession and pays well of at least $10000/mth with the overseas scholar at deputy director level. Hence, no fear of recession. Probably got a few months bonus last year.

you believe tharman or u believe coffeeshop talk. The cards are clearly laid on the table. 6 CMS, record 1st qtr sales figure. RECORD RCR prices. CCR stop le, OCR still choing, the next one sure make it pain pain while they continue to push EC. Shoot their own foot? They want 2 foot instead of 1. Which developer sells more than 5k units in a year, n damn confident it will move?

[maisonjai]

ya owning a piece of wonderful architecture is an investment. it's like buying art, really. ok, i'm sold.

Maybe this buyer is him

[cartman]

news said he is a sales exec. didnt know a sales exec can earn so much

maybe sales exec in his father's company? soem bosses like to give themselves lower titles, so can siam or pretend if customers demand for things, they can always say must go back and ask the boss

think have to increase interest rates if they really want to stop property prices from setting new records. even changing to 50% ltv will probably not stop most of these property hungry folks

[bargain hunter]

is it possible for gahment to set a policy of minimal 2% interest rates for residential mortgage loans?

And benefit the banks? What for?

[kane]

Exactly. The might as well nationalise the banks if that's the case.

Wah... one lender in Singapore...

[kane]

Wah... one lender in Singapore...

foreign banks can balek kampong if that's the case.

[bargain hunter]

i read somewhere that there was a suggestion to set a base residential mortgage interest rate (did not say 2% as base of course) to fight the so-called property bubble, so was wondering how feasible it was.

[kane]

Pretty useless measure if you ask me. If they are primarily for investment and rental. The owners will pass the cost on the the tenant. Then we are back to square one.

[teddybear]

Let's come back and revisit the situation in a few years time.

In 1997, Bishan broke historical high records for properties in heartland. Some said, a new era and Singapore was undergoing decentralizing stage and Bishan will be a new city centre. Verdict was - Bishan remained as a heartland and has never been one of the new city centre

This year in 2012, Bishan is currently breaking another new milestone for properties in heartland. Again, people said - a new era and Singapore is undergoing decentralizing stage and Bishan will be a new city centre.

Will Bishan be a new city centre or history will repeat itself?

We shall see...........

[kane]

Anyone who is still thinking that bishan is the new city centre must be dreaming. There aren't even much plans to enhance the infrastructure around the area. If there was a parcel in the heart of TPY, the developers will probably price it like SH.

[phantom_opera]

Do u think odd shape units in interlace and d leedon are the main reasons why cannot sell well?

I wouldn't want to live in one of those units where there's a container stacked over me and casting a big shadow in my apt.

[teddybear]

Yup, Fenghui is bad!

Yeah they say don't sleep under a beam. This one no matter how you move your bed also can't run away from the beam.

Yup... just move up a bit from Bishan and you have the Paya Lebar Financial hub but still can't feel it yet...

this works against the essence of the anti-competition act. if the courts can haul up companies for colluding to set prices, then the banks can be taken to task for coming together (by their own volition or MAS-induced) to set interest rates

Suspended on cantilever at end of container or between two buildings below is not good in feng shui. Empty below...not on firm hold....

[fclim]

Somehow, Interlace looks more like a university campus than a condo..

Bishan was never intended to be the new city centre. those were just the usual agent talk and analyst's justification for high price.
