They may have either move on to make more $ from 1996 experience or they hate property so much that they never dare to make another property investment.

2009 went to Luxus Hills for the second time.
Brought cheque book but agent said hubby PR (but in process of becoming singaporean) so cannot buy, but I singaporean what....dunno why they not interested to sell. Mabbe cos the units were like going so fast at that time..... only 1.74 mil.
On the way home the car tyre got puntured.... dunno what kind of sign was that.
Anyway after hubby became singaporean, Luxus hills increase by 100k so we buay song and don't want to buy thinking it will come down, so wait and wait.
So I think Luxus Hills not for me.....

That's because during a property boom, all the regrets posted are regrets of not making more money rather than losing money.
Start this thread again 2 years later and the type of regrets posted may be very different from what we are reading today.

Cos the agent said if they launch, the new phase it is estimated to be around 2.5 m.
We were asked to put a blank cheque to register our interest.
But my heartache when I think of 2009, so definitely cannot go ahead with such a price.
Btw, i saw some selling at 2.2m on one of the property website.
What's the point of regretting? We're not victims of fate. Every mistake is an invaluable lesson learned.

Agreed!
Let's look ahead.
But in order to understand one another better, it's good to find out one another's thoughts on property.

All like vultures circling the prey, waiting for the predator to leave before diving in.
The problem is when will the predator leave, and when predator leaves, will there be anymore meat left? What happens if only left with bones?
Must start looking out liaoz, when the time is right must strike fast, no 2nd thoughts. Or else will add to another item in your regret list haa haa...
:scared-3:
didn't buy Sail at launch
didn't buy icon at launch
didn't buy one tree hill when it was ignored by the market
researched, considered but didn't action on divesting non-landed to landed.
didn't listen to my old man when he said market will recover fast in 2009.

basically you just described the hypnosis state, which is a state of focussed attention.
They are in tunnel when they make purchases. They can only focusing at the light in the front.Its quite :doh: to listen to those housing agents actually telling you 'I've just sold 2 units. The figures are moving so you must quickly buy now!'. All this while, the stock markets around the world is falling like dominos! I just told that agent 'Now its not the time' and she immediately kept quiet because she totally understood what I just said! ;)

The light in front is that of an oncoming train.

i have agents now trying to sell cascadia, minton, h20, all quoting limited offer, fire sale etc....
hmm, what was the recent rulling? cannot say specialist anymore right? can they also use the term "fire sale" which they interpret as below bank valuation? i think all valuations before last week are no longer valid...

regret not buying in Jan 09 and waited till July 09 to seal a deal. regaret not buying Park Infania @ Wee Nam 2x floor @ 1.2m. Regret not buying 6 avenue @ 1.2m. regret not buying D11 new launch at 800k during re-launch with deferred payment.
great regret is nvr buy visioncrest residence @ 1m for 2 bedder in 2004..totally affordable but no guts.

hmm, what was the recent rulling? cannot say specialist anymore right? can they also use the term "fire sale" which they interpret as below bank valuation? i think all valuations before last week are no longer valid...So what did the agent quote for Cascadia, Minton and H2O now?
What fire sale? For BUC, nothing to trigger fire sale except that small increase of about few hundred dollars a month. Can't even hold with that small increase and those buyers dare to enter the market??? As if fire sale is a daily affair that these agents dare announce??? :doh:
Think the agents all under fire... not the owners! :tongue3:
I think many pple regret n balls shrink now. Regret on regreting
When market down, if have firesales, agents with $ & balls will grab 1st. If u come to know, be prepared if price is within target, time to have the balls to commit, if not when market start to turn and if it recover as sharply as last time, u regret ...., and regret.... ;)

Agents do buy n keep for 4 years or if 100k profit after SSD...
Agents do buy n keep for 4 years or if 100k profit after SSD...No need wait for 4 years if can get above SSD. Can let go after 3 years and lose 4%. Just a matter of how much profit you want vs how long you are willing to wait! :sleep:
During the upswing, many people and agents already made hundreds of thousands and million of dollars. The situation and profile now is different. Alot are either cash rich or asset rich. During market downturn like now, some are eyeing on opportunities. If the location and unit is their dream, they will still buy at current situation/price.
They are not worried.
are u sure we are going to upswing so fast? I doubt so...

I didn't mean upswing now. I meant to say they made their money during the previous upswing.
Current situation gives these new found cash rich investors more tolerance to any downturn. Look at the number of expensive cars on the road. (Recently saw a very young guy driving a Ferrari and with him was a chio meimei. I am jealous.... that he has the young sexy meimei.) :D
