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?

[azeoprop]

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...

[masterkey]

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.

Don't worry lah... the number of vultures will not be more than the pieces of meat left behind! Don't fight.. all can share the spoils!

[Komo]

Now just need to be a bit patient

[DC33_2008]

Be careful. Do not eaten up during the mad rush for goodies.

The super seasoned investor can lead the pack in.

Its a mystery why some newly launched projects are still selling at high psf? Will these recent buyers question their purchases?

[DC33_2008]

They are in tunnel when they make purchases. They can only focusing at the light in the front.

basically you just described the hypnosis state, which is a state of focussed attention.

Its quite 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!
