The long awaited moment has come for me Radha08...to sign on the dotted line..YES i have signed the SP for a 3 bedder GND floor unit at.....read on
My TRUE Story...i sold my PC for personal reasons EXACTLY 1 year ago...i had a profit of $XXX...i was happy i was excited....but after selling what to do...buy another PC....no cannot Mr XXXX said going to drop by 50% in 2015:scared-3:
So what did i do...i rented a semi D for 1 year waiting for the prices to drop....to BE VERY FAIR i didnt exactly wait..i also VIEWED NUMEROUS apt/condos/houses...old/new..FH/LH...every damm type of property there was and for some reason every time i would walk away to come back to the luxury and bliss of a 4000sq FT....RENTED house in Siglap...where me and my wife would sit in the garden with a bottle of wine and discuss the days viewings......life was good BIG house nice neighbourhood...that was the good life..:spliff2:
What did i almost buy in this one year i got a record but SOMEHOW i could NOT execute...:not-worthy:..the ORDER:banghead:
This is MY record:doh:
1) Carmen terrace 1600sqft 2 story terrace...sold at 1.88M
2) Gemini apartments GND level..1600sqft(jln tua kong)...1.2M
3) Flamingo Valley GND floor 1200sqft ...1.5M
4) Eastwood green GND level 1100sqft....1.05M
5) Parc Olympia....GND flr...1400sq ft...slightly above 1M

then came CM6....DAMM...my DREAMS were shattered...all i could afford now was MAX MAX 1M......if i wanted to keep my highly developed Flat:D
SO what happened....on 13th oct i moved back to my beautifully renovated HDB flat...life was well SMALL(but now we are happy)...anyway one night my mum saw someone lurking outside on the common corridor....she thought it was me....but i was in the house...i saw her talking to my wife and i came out of my room...she said i thought u were outside...like i freakin mad man i rushed out of my house of course the bast$%^ ran off:simmering:....the next day i thought to myself very seriously BRO is this the house you want to bring up your family in...:confused:
The next day i told myself...BRO radha08...1 year ago when you sold your PC..you had $XXX....now you have 60% $XXX...after settling debts paying off your hdb/paying off your car/paying your reno...LOOSING money in the blady stock market...:banghead:
1 year ago you could have bought a 1.5m or maybe if u stretcheddddddd
a 1.8 M property today u kena wack BY CM6....now u can afford 1m....so what u want to do...wait for CM7..hdb owner must stay hdb and wear sarong...:eek:...CANNOT buy private...or HDB owner must dunno la....
Ai yah the rest is history la...so what did me and MY wife do we decided to buy and we already bought a GND level 3 bedder at at at.......

Hi, could you mind sharing how much you are paying for the Sea Esta unit?
thanks all bros the journey has been long and tiring....1 year to be exact from selling one PC to buying another PC at almost the same $$$price....i believe a lot more bros out there in the same situation that i was...i share your fear and apprehension at taking the plunge into the final abyss...:scared-1:...but after all is done i can only say this as a father to my kids as a husband to my wife as a son to my mother and as a master to my dogs.....A MAN HAS GOT TO DO WHAT A MAN HAS GOT TO DO....and that is to provide a ROOF to all of you.....:D:D:D:D:D....at SEAESTA....if our house no space you all can sleep at the beach....:D:D:D:D...3 mins away...

Hi. Congratulates. It is never be a bad or good time to buy when you can afford it.
Affordability and determination is vital.
Add on: Could you share with me your household income profile and liabilities etc? You can PM me the information.

bro, you are not walking alone. ONE YEAR ago (almost) exactly i also sold a FH PC and today i gg to lawyer office to sign on a 99LH PC... at.. NOT.. the same price, but 17% higher. and floor area smaller :doh: :doh: :doh:
but for own stay... and attributes which cannot find elsewhere. i am happy with my new purchase.
Fantastic layout! A 3br compact with patio is a wise choice cos you dont even need the yard and utility, just simply partition a portion of your PES as the yard. Morever, you can do deep fry cooking at the PES just like BBQ without dirtying the house :D
Excellent choice. Congrats bro radha !!!!:jump-for-joy:
Bro, congrats to your wonderful new property!!!!

with all due respect to bro radha, how does buying into property at high prices and getting a whole load of new debt be worth celebrating?
disclaimer: i am in the same position as him :doh: :doh: :doh:
(i also frequent car forums and fail to understand why everybody congratulates someone who just booked a new car. okay, granted, car=expense and house=investment. Maybe new house worth congratulating.)

I don't think 1 million for 3br compact + PES near Pasir Ris beach for self-stay is expensive ... ECO SOHO already 8xxk
congrats!:cheers4:
I went to SeaEsta to view the ground level 3 bedder too, yes i love ground floor cos I keep lots of fishes:D but was out of my budget...:(

brother, i like ground floor unit despite people telling me no privacy... when i was staying in one, my family with young children will go to the pool side to have dinner and pool dipping (not swimming lah as i cannot swim well).. and have fun.. i thought this is like resort style... the one thing i hate about ground floor is mosquitoes.
anyway to have some privacy, i planted bamboo trees so that i have at least some 'blockage' + greenery... not bad leh... so i have 3 pots of bamboo tress in front of my balcony, but you really need to water them every day as they are very very thirsty.
(the MCST did not objected the additional trees as this was an old estate so everyone close one eye)
btw, i remember i felt so sayang for you when you miss out one ground floor unit with good PES. cannot remeber which project.
:doh: Khatib? how can it be compared to Pasir ris?
+ Sea Esta is just a short walk from a 24 hours shopping mall with cinema!
One can walk to the beach, the other one you cannot even walk to the reservoir banks to enjoy the tranquility.
Looks like Sivaji? :D
half ball sivaji...:D:D:D
Congrats...bro :cheers4: ,
Meet u in 2016 or earlier....:D :D :D ,
tks bro...we are neighbour...maybe no cos maybe u rent out your place..:D
radha bro.. next time if i ever stroll along jalan loyang besar to go there for chalet or bbq or whatever, i will go to seaesta fence and shout out loud loud "radahhahaa"... and u better walk out from your patio and greet me with your oyster chicken dish :D :D :D
Radha,
You have received so many congratulations. Guess you are very popular here - must be a good guy.
I am encouranged to buy.
I've also got the feeling it's this forum that keeps the Singapore property market going.
Cheers.
frankly i dont know anybody here in real life...i am just ordinary sporean BORN in spore trying to give my family a better life...:cheers5:...and i believe most of bro/sis here same situation as me....so lets hope all of us can have a better lfe...:cheers4:
NB:Better life does NOT mean buying a BIG or NEW house buy within your means...if you look at my list of viewing u will realise i aim VERY big end up small...but i got NOTHING to hide and be shy about...as long as my heart is good and my mind is clear about what i want in life...:cheers4:

bro u are champion..u remember all my happening...tonite and tommorow nite and next fri and next saturday nite i have deepavali gathering in my hdb flat..inviting friend and family over...i CANNOT have all on ONE day...such is life in a 4RM flat....:D...never had this problem at my old condo and my rented semi-d....but still i love my small home(hdb)...cos my children were born here...:cheers5:
BTW...tonite menu...famous oyster sauce chicken,black pepper prawns,stir fried french beans with shitake mushrooms,sambal fish ball...and a few bottles of wine to wash it down....:cheers1::D
brother, i like ground floor unit despite people telling me no privacy... when i was staying in one, my family with young children will go to the pool side to have dinner and pool dipping (not swimming lah as i cannot swim well).. and have fun.. i thought this is like resort style... the one thing i hate about ground floor is mosquitoes.
anyway to have some privacy, i planted bamboo trees so that i have at least some 'blockage' + greenery... not bad leh... so i have 3 pots of bamboo tress in front of my balcony, but you really need to water them every day as they are very very thirsty.

bro i miss out so so so many gnd floor cos i was SCARED to buy...i tell you frankly if i never buy seaesta...i will never buy cos i think my wife already give up on me...to buy..scared this scared that...:doh:
with all due respect to bro radha, how does buying into property at high prices and getting a whole load of new debt be worth celebrating?
disclaimer: i am in the same position as him :doh: :doh: :doh:
(i also frequent car forums and fail to understand why everybody congratulates someone who just booked a new car. okay, granted, car=expense and house=investment. Maybe new house worth congratulating.)
Hi bro....yes i must think carefully before i answer you...:)...AGREED buying a property they say is the BIGGEST DECISION you will ever make in your life...thats why it took me so so so long almost 1 year to buy...
some back ground...in my life i had 14 cars...i bought my first car almost 20 years ago...and seaesta is my 3rd house...i bought my present hdb about 12 years ago..my 2nd pc in 2007 sold in 2011...:o
Thinking back i wish i really really wish i had bought 14 properties and 3 cars in the last 20 years of my life....:eek:
You know why cos to me being a normal working JOE...car will get me NOWHERE except to work and back...thinking back how much money i have spent buying fierce cars and modify and do all kind of rubbish it got me NOWHERE..now i driving small suzuki(i am VERY happy):)
Yes i have put upon myself a very heavy burden by commiting to a MILLION dollar property...i could have used my capital instead to invest in funds/stock market/buy a nice car/go holiday....but strangely the last 20 YEARS of my life i have been doing ALL that and TRUST me it has got ME NO WHERE in life...(others may have made their fortunes doing that and i am happy for them)....so THIS time around my focus is 2-prong....to buy
into a reasonably priced property that MY family would be proud to call home and hopefully it will appreciate over time....if you look at my portfolio...it took me 1 year to make this FINAL decision..wrong/right...good/bad..time will tell...but i told myself "If i were to live in fear of tommorow...i will not have lived today"...so bro as you can tell MY WHOLE life story is in this forum...i come open i come clean...i got nothing to hide or no one to offend...so HELP ME GOD...:D:D:D:D:D

i noticed the support our fellow forummers gave bro yowetan vs bro radha08 is totally different they announce their purchases.... hahahahha
mainly because of the PES?
agree bro..strangely i bought this unit because of the PES...i cannot bluff myself....me and my family are all outdoor people who CANNOT afford landed property...our requirements are minimum but comfortable living are with BIG outdoor area....my decision to buy seaesta was made after i moved from a 4000sqft semi d into a 1000sqft HDB....if u combine those two you would roughly get something like what i bought at seaesta...:cheers5:..others may feel different and its ok cos like i said good/bad...i will find out....by the way just for the record since the WHOLE world knows my lifestory the reason why i will never stay in high floor condo with BIG balcony..is that in my previous condo something tragic happened and a small child lost her life when she fell from the balcony...i cannot imagine how the parents feel...all because the stupid Management dont allow grilles in the balcony...:simmering:...so u see now why out of the MILLIONS of properties availible i love GND floor..plus like i said i got dog cat bird fish...spider:scared-1:...how to stay high floor...:D:D:D

congrats!:cheers4:
I went to SeaEsta to view the ground level 3 bedder too, yes i love ground floor cos I keep lots of fishes:D but was out of my budget...:(
if u look at the floor plan i thinking of building a pond about 3metres x 1 metre wide and 80cm deep in the PES at the part that is uncovered exposed to the open...:D:D:D..now already super kancheong looking at pond design..:doh::doh::doh:..still got 3 year to TOP and maybe price drop 50% by 2015...:banghead::D
it is human pyschology and feel good factor. Property is a major purchase, committing is scary to the max whereas for changing car, it is more affordable [super MM quantum] and easily achievable goal for many Singaporeans and what's more it comes with the same or if not more feel good factor whenever you smell your new car,drive brand new wheels during CNY n so on... That's why you see many HDB freaking rich, each flr in the carpark easily 3-4 luxury cars, 1 family 2 car is common and yes, if money could have been saved for downpayment of 2nd house + balls of steel, more money could have been made.
For property, the sibei feel gd factor comes in when u sell your first hoot, made your first pot of gold or see constant stream of income coming from your investment condo, then start to see the light, die die muz hoot another one

i like this too. ever since i smell my first rental income, i have never looked back. since then, haven't changed car (last time every 2 yr change car), now swear to drive this car until COE end. that is the POWER of ppty investment

i also like PES for the nice feel. but i realise that i cannot stand too many creepy crawlies in the house. so... it's high rise for me. balcony would be nice (yes, have 2 of them in my new house)

bro, am i just like you. back in 2007, i had a first pot of gold, 100k from stocks. if i had met ppty investors back then i would have plough it into ppty. alas, it went back into stocks and today, it's less than 10k left.
after that, i realise that ppty is the way to go. you could lose 90% of your stocks, but you can never lose 90% of your ppty value (unless of coz default on loan)
hi Shanhz

Bro Radha,
Thank you for sharing your story...very interesting & enlightening, especially so when its very similar to mine....own my first car 20 years ago and buy/sell/modify 14-cars but purchased only 4 properties over the last 20 years and how i wish i buy/sell 14 properties and buy/sell/modify only 4-cars. recently just committed to a gnd floor unit coz my family love the huge PES area and i too keep fish and thinking of having a mini pond at the pes...
Hanrose, are u the same one in clover? :cool:
guess what. i oso ground floor lover.
very very nice layout...congrats!
personally just don't like one thing having the cooking hob facing the fridge. ... fire vs water:D
me also like ground floor...had eyed an 8cy ground floor which faces the garden courtyard in front and a koi pond at the back... though need to share with the others:D
guess what. i oso ground floor lover.

Clearly describe how Office Boy felt. Thats why at the end of the day keep on buying and buying then selling and selling ... haha! Maybe its a form of addiction ! Keep wanting to buy or sell every year ...
New Year's resolution is always - This year buy blah blah, or this year sell blah blah ... some years even worse ... "This year must buy ONE and sell ONE!"

Bro, u sell every year, be prepared to lim kopi, unless u pay tax. This is considered trading.

Haha.... No no, your English perfectly fine.
I'm just asking the question as u were discussing abt the tax, iras, lim kopi etc. I just curious IF buyers will get the attention if buying without loan.
I just click on the "quote" button, that's why :ashamed1:

Of course will come under radar... Your income declaration must match the ability to buy lar...
Example :
Condo cost 1 mil
Person a earns 100 k a year. Wife not working... Started work at 25. Today 33. Declare 100k a year start from 25 and constant all the way to 33. Can he pay cash for condo 1 mil? This guy surely lim kopi.
Person b, earns 300k a year. Started at 25. Today 33. Same starting salary at 300k and today still 300k.(for ease of computation. Please use your own number. How? Will get lim kopi?
I also not from iras.
Hope the question is answered.

if wan to buy car buy house, sure have to declare income one lah. in malaysia, there are pple who make alot of money and never declare. but still, when buy house, they die die take 80-90% loan just to put on record. then after that clear off fast fast.
I have been always a silent reader. I too have just bought a condo at sembawang after much consideration.
Ground floor with patio as I like to have an outdoor space. Just hope the the market will maintain because it is not easy to have the courage to sign on the dot.:scared-2:

Nope. I bought Nautical during the VVIP launched but 2nd floor.
Seletaris, old development for own stay. Will move in March 2013.
My wife said Im crazy cause we bought two properties at the same area..:doh:
But no choice, this is the cheapest freehold I can get.

Yup. Though I think I will be able to service the loan, but it will still hurt knowing the price has gone down.

Bro, tell u the story of my first investment Anchorage. Remember went centrepoint as showroom there.. The list was pinned on the board... Enter showroom and look at the design,,. When to the list of available units... Look with people,,,, asked the agent for help, because first time, blur... Me -"excuse me, can u help me?". Agent -"I am serving customer, please decide, will come back shortly"... It was packed... I short listed 3 units with wife's... Agent came back...
Me -"I short listed a few, can u", before I can finish with the statement, she said" huh, u haven't decided? Wait until decided, then u call me. There are many people waiting leh". She was about to turn away... My hand automatically raised and pointed to a unit. Me - "this one". And I just bot myself a $900k condo in 1994. My first investment property at the tender age of 29. Went back home, my head was spinning... What did I just do:confused: :confused:*
The rest is history...*
That's the story on buying in bull market... Next time I will share with u on buying in bear market... How for the first time in my entire history of property purchase, I managed to get discount for my prop... Hahahahaha

Radha bro, sometimes the agent bluff one. I bought a unit few mths ago and tried to squeeze my agent to give me more discount. Agent said sorry, max discount liao. I trusted him and signed the OTP. 2 weeks later, my friend bought a similar unit, and managed to get additional 1% discount from developer on top of squeezing the agent $1k cash voucher from agent's own pocket... Damm

In 2005/6 I went shopping around for a condo to fit my family as my mum couldn't walk up just a flight of steps to her room... And the rooms were all coated on the 2nd and 3rd floor of my town house.
Finally found one... Went in to the showroom... Looks quite nice... Showroom empty... Wa.. So easy to move around... Quite nice. Went back home, brought entire family there to see... All agree not bad... Went back home to think... Next day, went in again, told agent... Ok, I want to hack the wall between 2 rooms to convert to a large single room to house my 3 kids... Agent said - no problem... Wow.. Then I said, u see the false ceiling, I want developer to raise it all the way up so the room has high ceiling... Agent said, no problem... Wow, I want this, I don't want this. Blah, blahn blah... The Roly came back -OK? I :confused: Never happen before leh... Then I said, ok, I want to buy at this price... U go back to developer and get me the discount.. If don't have, forget it... 2 min later - Ok... And the rest was history..l I am staying in this lovely home... Spent > 100k to renovate the house because I wanted a home.... Now happy like crazy....
This was my experience in buying at low prices... Nobody viewing and everything negotiable... It is damn shiok... But for many, it is scary like shit, because we are all animals. We all have the herd instinct for survival... But is the the herd instinct u need to avoid.. Easier said than done... In my mind,u only need 2 things... Money and balls of steel... The more money u have, the less hard your balls need to be.... That's why the rich get richer.... And the poor get poorer... U will see the divide widening more, my bros and sis... So please plan... I have shared as much as I can... There is less for me to share and as I move on with my work, u will see less of me.... I wish each of u well in whatever u do for the future..
Cherio.... It is about ROD for me soon as I believe I have completed my National Service here....
Take care...

Aiya should ask u first. Mine not facing gambas cause i think it will be noisy and later next year new high way (NSE). Mine facing inside. :)
I like the serenity and quitness and the big area. Cannot get else where. Hopefully, more development will come to sembawang:cheers4:
it's okay .. it is a good buy (price wise). i still think it is a good buy, as long as you get the right direction.
Can't wait to read nut bro's next episode on his experience buying a unit during the bear market...
Radha bro, sometimes the agent bluff one. I bought a unit few mths ago and tried to squeeze my agent to give me more discount. Agent said sorry, max discount liao. I trusted him and signed the OTP. 2 weeks later, my friend bought a similar unit, and managed to get additional 1% discount from developer on top of squeezing the agent $1k cash voucher from agent's own pocket... Damm
bro, as long as you are not buying on the first day of launch and not in a hot mkt (read: before CM came in), discount can squeeze one.
speaking from personal experience. most impt, must be prepared to walk.
you damn funny!!! :cheers4: :cheers4:
hai ya bro we only have 1 lifetime here....you can choose to be grumpy jealous angry moody or happy....life is too short just enjoy it...:D:D:D
In 2005/6 I went shopping around for a condo to fit my family as my mum couldn't walk up just a flight of steps to her room... And the rooms were all coated on the 2nd and 3rd floor of my town house.
Finally found one... Went in to the showroom... Looks quite nice... Showroom empty... Wa.. So easy to move around... Quite nice. Went back home, brought entire family there to see... All agree not bad... Went back home to think... Next day, went in again, told agent... Ok, I want to hack the wall between 2 rooms to convert to a large single room to house my 3 kids... Agent said - no problem... Wow.. Then I said, u see the false ceiling, I want developer to raise it all the way up so the room has high ceiling... Agent said, no problem...
