The property market is showing NO sign of easing....EC being snapped up...bto selling out...new launch flying off the shelf...something is going to happen...this time i think will be a major CM...:eek:

Bro i NOT talking about myself...just GENERAL talk EVERYDAY got news this sold out that snapped up...:doh:...ya i know CM will not affect me but i prefer if market stable no up no down its ok..but got so much BULLISH news dunno...what the SUPER power might do...:confused:
I guess the following reasons might cause the ppty market keeps going up.
1) scared more cm to stop them from buying, so everybody is rushing for it.
2) huge profit from the sale of their HDB flats
3) enbloc profit
What else can you all think of?

Today I was in Orchard.
There were so many foreigners.
I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
Happy cos economy is doing well, and foreigners spend money in our country and rent from us.
Sad cos Orchard Road is no longer the Orchard Rd of Singapore I know of.
I decided that I shall not go to Orchard Rd if I can but remain in the heartlands.
The MRT was super crowded.
The journey from Dhoby Ghaut to Sommerset was a torture as people pushed to get in and were standing shoulder to shoulder.
No wonder we would rather slog and pay for COEs which cost on the average 2 years of salary, than to squeeze on the trains.

Yup, it is supposed to be crowded.
But Orchard Road is now foreign to me.
I don't feel at home there anymore.
I wonder what will foreigners visiting Singapore think of Singapore when they visit Orchard Rd?
I feel it is no longer representative of Singapore.

Last week I was walking on the street outside Ion, and saw a group of foreigners doing folk dances (or whatever u call it). They were making a lot of noise and were enjoying themselves with the attention showered on them by the public. I was wondering then if the tourists who happen to walk past would mistaken them as locals? Definitely they don't represent us Singaporeans ....

bro i say before if you scared of what happen TOMMOROW...there is no point in living TODAY...:)...

The Orchard red MRT line reminds me of Hong Kong MongKok stretch of stations. Just extremely crowded during peak hours.
The good thing is that the crowds are generally orderly. The problem comes when one is in a rush. The more courteous ones may have to wait for a few rounds of trains unless don't mind squeezing with people near the sliding doors. For those who have not experienced real crowd and claustrophobia feeling in Singapore, should go try it.
Our population has certainly grown and hopefully the pockets of spaces where there are lesser crowds will not dry up totally in time to come.
A crash will help to reset our economy and affordability.

Then come 31st of December 2015... Asian economic community began.
Asean white collar workers will come in wave. Replacing the over paid sg workers. Those in their 50s will find it hard to compete. Their choice is to take pay cut or retrenchment. The smartest and brightest of these asean workers will take PR ship and eventually citizenship. Even my prediction is wrong, the margin of error is still low. Now we are having a hard time competing with the rich foreigners. I can't imagine having to compete with the young and the brightest too at the same time.

bro, quite true leh.. i got this feeling too..
I really don't think the gov is building now to oversupply. Its unthinkable that sg gov is willing to waste precious land to build empty flat. It will be filled up. Housing land is always in constant competition with other land usage such as industrial, tourism, infrastructure, education, health, etc. The idea that there is too much housing in sg is beyond me. If u can fast forward to the future to see how much the actual land left for housing, the answer is not that much left.

What keeping the property price in sg is still affordable is the single thing call "GLS". Once this GLS stopped even your empty flat will shoot up like crazy.

My prediction is iskandar will lose its novelty and charm after sometime. Its easy to buy a luxury car, but it cost a lot to pump fuel into it and regular maintenance. Sg is where the money is. It will be maintained and upgrade constantly. Iskandar has people to pump money now, therefore is attractive. But nothing can guarantee these people to keep pumping money. They might decide to cash out in 20 years time. Sg is a country, its totally in different league as iskandar

Manhattan is also consider FULL wor!
There is no such thing as a Singapore being FULL!
Government controls the number of people coming into Singapore.
Government controls the amount of land available for housing.
Hence, given time, they can left right the price.
But history has shown that they right it all the time (ie prefer price esacalation).

Agree!
If you study the Iskandar map carefully, you will realised that it is just piecemeal stuff they are pushing. There are soooo much land in between their "developing" areas. They are hoping that some naive investors will by the way invest in those areas later on and bring the area up.
Tough luck. Coz the undeveloped area is a few times of what they are developing.

I like yr description. Went in few days ago, still lot of undeveloped land surrounding iskandar, but maybe once infrastructure is up, investor or developers may come. Drove to hello kitty at puteri habour, nothing compared to our Marina @ keppel bay.. Checked with the sale staff, their 2 blocks of apt all sold now waiting to launch last and best block at M$850psf. Size 1100 sf.
Horizon hills - all sold, waiting for new launch. Is it true? My friend bot a landed 3 years ago $300k now going for $800k.

Sichuan restaurant belonging to Khoo Teck Puat's daughter. The one at Rochester Park is Min Jiang at one north. It's a fine dining restaurant.
I prefer the Ming Jiang at Goodwood Park. I think the food is better and slightly cheaper than one north.
Not buffet style, bring your date and just order a few small dishes. Will be about $70 per head or lower if you know how to order, but the food is good.

They have expanded to take 2 shops now. So there is no queue (at least not on weekday lunch time) although it is rather packed.
Thanks,

PS. I am not that girl, and she is not my gf. But there are lots of pretty girls (as well as handsome men) dining there.
This is the best I have ever tried, superb good and extremely cheap and I waited for 1.5hours.....

In that context, JB is even worse than the Brooklyn :D

Try this one at Tanjong Pagar. It is just 10 mins walk from my office. But I met a group of friends traveling from Novena during lunch just for this.

Used to dine there more than 15 years ago, until they split partner into 2 stores. The other partner is at china square, tian Jin guan.

The property market is showing NO sign of easing....EC being snapped up...bto selling out...new launch flying off the shelf...something is going to happen...this time i think will be a major CM...:eek:
Why un easy? Dont everyone want it to go up? If go down then will u have a question that " I feel uneasy ( fearful) that price keep dropping. When it stop and go up?"

Bro, once you bought already, look ahead and relax :) !
I certainly hoping the latest CM will assist average joe i.e. myself to own a property in Mt Sinai.
Those who have bought earlier should not be worry if your horizon is more than 5 years and your intent is for home-stay.
I am looking forward to the latest CM. I have had learnt something in this forum - write more emails to relevant authority and address the concern of others' doing and intent so as to deter others from achieving their objective.
I have recently sent an email to URA, and Mr. Khaw regarding certain highlights I have read in this forum. Let's see if my feedback (aka whistleblowing) will be actually effective then.

Hi..I am just putting to practical from what I have learn in this forum.
People loves to whistleblow and enjoys writing to ministries and authorities to shower their concern. I feel I ought to contribute as well to ensure more or better CM; my tune is to make my Mt Sinai property more affordable.

Better write to them to justify those with HDB being able to own PC. There are many already lobbying them to stop this. Or else your Mt Sinai dream will go out in a puff of smoke.

actually you could be the main reason why there are so many CMs. the CMs are there to protect your family members from getting into financial difficulties and prevent average Joe with an average career from wanting to Joneses

LOL.... sis chaiberry, I like the way you put it!
I feel that in order for an existing HDB owner to own a PC at the same time, they should not be over stretched and be comfortable with mortgage payment.
So I hope the govt will discourage this group of people who have barely enough but are struggling to own both at the same time.

Actually they are not overstretched at all. Most of my friends whole bought new HDB during the 2002-2005 period at ultra cheap prices have already finished paying up their flats. Some of them have bought new condos liao while others waiting with cash for crash.
:beats-me-man:

this is more or less in place with the existing CMs. my HDB already near 10 years, and fully paid. still i feel very stretched leh. i cannot understand how i can put so many family members under one roof just to earn the rental for the mt sinai payment. too many variables, waiting to die only. 7k/mth dual income is hardly enough for a family nowadays.

Hi.. You could be right; afterall there are many keen whistleblowers who wish to help me from overstretch.

Hi.. I guess I will write to Mr. Khaw and invite him to this forum for some ideas exchange aka brain storming session.
HDB dwellers can be very cash rich just by looking at the luxury cars in the HDB carpark. Got to be careful. KBW is studying this for a while. Got to buy quickly before CM for HDB dwellers :D

unlikely to have CM restricting existing HDB owners ... it is political suicide

Depends.
If the majority of HDB dwellers are not going to buy PC as 2nd property, then it is not.
The vocal ones may not represent the majority.
HDB prices should remain affordable for first timers and those who need a roof over their heads.

Hi.. I prefer Mr. Khaw implement the rule - I prefer lesser competition; people unable to fulfill their dream. I have a choice - I can sell off and continue renting out my parents and in-laws HDBs.
I am basically advocate the thinking of a whistleblower.

Yes.. Food is very important. Don't be stingy on food, or it will quicky take away the joy of life. Especially if you have growing children. Let them have anything they want within reason. Property is important, but food is way more important.

Even though I am positive on sg property, I don't advocate buying beyond your means nor putting all your resources into property basket. That is so immature.

Met someone last weekend from malaysia in an exhibition. He was working in Singapore for the last 40 years upon graduation. He lament that property prices are so expensive in singapore. I thought he would have already made it in life after 40 years in singapore. But he told me that he was all along in a tea-cup looking within it. What a pity?:o
