Thats why I always advocate people posting FACTS.
Rather then their silly opinions.
Look out for verifiable postings rather than staying here better than staying there.
Eg. How much is the current rental now ? How much is the lowest asking prices ? Eeerrmm ... think no need to give too many examples of whats verifiable and whats just opinions.
Last thing, the above are considered facts hor, not opinion.
Haha!

we can only wish for factual information but its hard to come by. everyone wants to know what is the current rental now but who would want to disclose? as for how much is the lowest asking price? the unit is probably gone before the info can make its way to this forum.

but to some, these opinions are far more important than so called facts.
it is really disturbing that some people respond to opinions by engaging in personal attacks. just awful. Feel free to disagree, but please do not engage in personalities.

aiyoh guys really can we make peace ?
some more I started this thread.. yes I have very EVIL agenda
back on topic. what would you guys think a fair rental should be for this place ? It's going to be TOP'ed any time now.
btw when I said "Right before it Duchess Crest is doing abt 5k-6k plus for 3bd, 6k-7k plus for 4bd", it's a fact ok
For DR this location, difficult to get high yield lah, should be about $4-4.50 psf.

GM supposed to be a feature of this project but one bedroom is in a dark basement with not much light going down. some units could also be blocked by the bridged pathways which are flying about so even 1st floor may not get good light. PH more straightforward but then nothing special liao since also avail at other projects nearby.

For this development, the ground floor units are partially blocked by all the lift shafts. So it will probably be quite dim even for the living room. So for the same price, the PH is definitely better.
some of the owners are asking for $6 psf for rentals. I think they are just dreaming. They are just so bored and have nothing else better to do.Originally Posted by teddybear
yup.
in your opinion, u think $11k or more for the PH is do-able?
Originally Posted by amk
imho, unlikely. nearby projects' PHs are barely getting 9k plus. townhouses , real houses are doing 11k above, and their rooms are bigger. DR's bedrms are the "new generation designs".Originally Posted by bargain hunter
actually I personally feel the PH or larger units in general in this area are diff to rent out. At $4 psf, they demand at least a 10k rental. But for this area, other than schools nearby, there is hardly any other draw factor. Expats dun rent for NYPS/Chinese High/etc. For 10k they prefer to rent Newton/Orchard/etc. On the other hand, for 3bd at 6-7k, there are plenty of families that like the quietness and low density housing of this area.
i share your sentiments and maintain my view that UOL ripped the VVIP buyers off.
DR's rooms are already "quite big" by today's standards, albeit with bay windows. i guess the "newness" can offset their smaller bedroom size vs the older developments nearby. $4psf is actually $11k. maybe 1 or 2 units can hit but there are 48 such units. the rest had better be for owner occupation.

amk, i dun get wat u mean. wat do u mean by 1680psf still higher than power buy bunch?
http://forums.condosingapore.com/sho...738#post137738
the Wee and Co. did this :
Rowee Low #01-07 1546psf
WEC #01-11 1556psf
plus I know
#01-06 1546psf
#01-09 1533psf
So 1680 is still significantly higher than them.
yup yup. but what about those who bot at 2000psf?!?!?!?! tio sabo liao. i know GM many were sold at that price also wor in 07.

$5045k

actually I think pretty good for the buyer, because 01-03 and 01-04 both were sold at a $6134000, a massive $1M more
i can only repeat my previous post:

hahaha. so that's a 18% discount? this project is way underwater.
so which is the final returned unit at duchess still unsold? think it was a ground floor unit too.

The compression goes on, but HDB will be the last one to get hit and the impact is not that great as the rental is not that high to begin with.Originally Posted by hopeful
Ang Mos are also getting smarter and they are seeking bigger bangs for their bucks. Since early this year, I'm starting to see more Ang Mos staying around my HDB estate, eating at coffee shops and going to NTUC.
