I'll buy it only if it's dirt cheap and if I feel comfortable there the first second I step in.

My biggest concern is the resale value. I may be able to buy cheap but it also only mean I must sell cheap and still might struggle to find potential buyers.

Someone commited suicide by hanging himself in his unit on the 14th floor. I don't know how accurate but there was another family and i were viewing another unit at The Dew.
I wasn't keen with this development. The family then told me what he knew and to avoid 14th floor (especially if the price is suspiciously low. Dont know which unit number though). I didn't believe until i counterchecked with the security guards. I ran home and never turned back.

The residents of Sunglade must have been so so angry when they thought they have struck lottery with the announcement of NEX mall opening beside them but the death just dashed their hopes altogether. Now they merely want to test market with prices they thought they should have gotten earlier, hoping that things will be restored somewhat!

We should encourage more people to contribute their information. This is really helpful... for those to buy cheap and for those who die die must avoid such properties.

This case still sends shivers down my spine. I remember following the case as a youngster in the Straits Times and Wan Bao. The image of the bag where they stuffed the body in and dumped at the foot of the block still lingers in my mind.
Having dinner at the restaurant in Toa Payoh gardens used to be very enjoyable till I read on the papers that the killers had went for dinner there after murderng one of the kids.

This makes me recall of a case. I have a friend who stayed in Jurong East. She always felt that there was someone around her house, so she went to the "medium" to ask and was told that there was a "woman spirit" in the house but harmless, so the medium taught her how to pray, and later she strucked a lottery. Unbelievable?
Another case is her younger sister bought a new HDB flat at CCK, same thing happen, a harmless female spirit. In the middle of the night, they could hear the noise (washing of the bowls). All of them could see the spirit except her elder sister. So I think it all depends on the individual luck also.
