Obviously, there is no HDB upgrader catchment which probably explains the lower sales in the area. But frankly, I would rather the place stays low density.
    It is all in the matter of individual preference and lifestyle choices lah. That is why there are so many different condo and different locality. To say which is better than which is very hard unless you have some agreed benchmark.

    Hi, Wild Falcon. I agree with you wholeheartedly. It was the quiet and peacefulness which attracted me to HVP. I am looking forward to stay there. Folks who preferred Dairy Farm or Hillview would not prefer Bishan and vice versa. Dairy Farm, Hillview and Bishan iare nice in its own way but basically different.

    Fr investor perspective, both Skywood and Kingsford lease-hold project are over-priced as developers sell at Future pricing.Adjacent free-hold resale condo which is even nearer to Hillview MRT shows most recent resale transactions at average $1100psf. From the database, the sell-out rate for HVP is about 27% after 6 months since initial launch in Mar. For own stay, it's different criterias due to individual prefered choices. Again Hillview area is legend of condo, simply too many condos to choose from.

    Hi... I find it is contradicting.

    You have a hill v2 that will be populated with many foreigners when this mixed development is up.

    Traffic congestion, noise and smoke will be apparent. Now, it is contradicting your tranquility expectation!

    In short, kingsford a Chinese mill developer is greedy and over price this project. Also with so much defects running around these years expect more from Chinese for they are known in cost cutting measure! It does adds up when the take up rate is pathetic.

    Good luck to your tranquility and 'hope' of capital appreciation. The opposite hillview park condo with FH status set to be gaining more than your HVP.

    thanks for your well wishes. think a mix of foreigners is good for any living area (unless you are implying that they are noisy, which i doubt so). i am not too worried abut traffic congestion (i don't drive and my unit is facing the camp), same for noise and smoke. I am neutral towards Chinese personnel or any "foreigners". If the opposite Hillview Park condo is gaining more, i will be happy for them as they had the foresight of buying into the area early. i am buying HVP to stay on my own (one person in my small 517 sqf area), no one or dog to share.

    No plan to expand a family, hence the one bedder. 8) easier to take care too when the space not too big. Also more affordable though psf higher relatively.

    Positively, though I am no expert, shouldn't the presence of foreigners at Mount Sinai meant foreigners liked the area to either buy or rent an unit there? With you & your family moving in, you would have increased the local presence there, balancing things a bit. One day when I free, I will travel there to take a look.

    Hi,

    Would like to seek advice with the seasoned property gurus here. If you have bought a property and the developer offer 5% more discount in the next few weeks - is there anything you can/ would do to cushion the impact?

    Yah..if you are one of the few who bought earlier - would they usually protect your interest and rebate something or it's gonna be tough? Any early buyers here who didn't benefit from the extra discount?

    I don't think they will refund the difference. The price in the s&P agreement would be final. Unless there is a clause that they will refund if they sell at lower price next time.

    LOL, the guard house is at one side AFTER the gate. So u have to let car come in then screen them?

    That is ok? I think it sucks.

    And it's not grand at all, even EC have better looking entrance.

    You planted 3 dark seeds in your nearby neighbour garden. The dark trees will grow and one day cross pollinate with your garden trees and produce 70 darker trees in our Eco friendly garden.

    Total = 73 dark trees.

    Actually times like this you really appreciate those developers who can hold. At least they don't create this type of tension with e early buyers. Says a lot about this developer. Heard that a nearby development offered the discount to their early buyers in view of their price revision.
