Is FEO controlling prices in Katong?

[Leeds]

The Shore (103 yrs LH) is selling at average $1300 psf, The Cape (FH Small Units) at average $1900 psf, Silversea (99 yrs LH with sea view) at $2000 psf and The Seawind at $1500 psf. Buyers will not have much of a choice if they want to invest in a sizable development in Katong.

Capitaland bought Marine Point for $1056 psf ppr and FEO got Amberglades for $1066 psf ppr. Amber Towers were sold at $1118 psf ppr to a Chinese developer. New developments for these sites will cost at least $1800 psf.

With the holding power of FEO, even with the coming downturn and over supply issues over the next 4 years, prices in Katong is likely to be firmed.

Can FEO hold on to prices in Katong even if prices in other districts decline?

FEO sold at these prices because they have already priced in the ERL.

i can still remember how i used to frequent katong to play billiard during my younger days....
ahhhh... how time flies....

[masterkey]

There are ready supply of apartments in Katong and Marine parade that do not demand the FEO kind of prices, if one is not restricting himself to new launches only. In fact, you can get a less than 10yo condo right next to major shopping and fronting the sea at less than $1300 psf, and probably walking distance to an ERL station. Why are people willing to pay FEO prices.... :beats-me-man:

Blame it on the valuers.... why are the sky high launch prices supported?:beats-me-man:

Will the valuers give your BREAD the same valuation?

No valuation = no loan = no deal :(

People like flour coz they think its fresh and can be made into something better than bread. But it's all just bread....

Yes, yes.

But the store no longer there now right?

[hyenergix]

FEO merely holds the price for the buyers and protects their investments, its the buyers that control the prices. O'rly?!

[blackjack21trader]

Yes, yes.

But the store no longer there now right?

Dun need to worry about D15 prices, it will remain strong because Big Brother is here to protect us la. Remember Gardenvista ? The only Bukit Timah project that held above the $900psf in 2008 crisis. That time, people laugh at Big Brother that his project cannot sell. Wahlaueh...look at the prices now ! Never go down since then hor.

You humble brother here last time also looking at Big Brother's GreenWood lor..That time selling landed at above 900psf was unthinkable. But look at the landed prices there now ! That is why I have confident in Big Brother la. You see they always Diam Diam one...but later their projects sure 100% sold hor..
