Only when ppty px crash by 30% and ltv resume back to 80%, den investors will go bck to 2bdr instead of mm

The whole world is waiting for this day... 30% correction is very unlikely, though not impossible. If 30% correction really happens, ltv resumption will never happen liao. The two cannot co-exist easilyi leh!

may i ask what is ltv?

MM units are too saturated in today's market. Too many developers cashing in on this type of units. Wonder how the housing scene will be like in the next decade? Big units are in higher demand? Hmmm... LOL!

Actually, big units are also in higher demand now. Noticed 4 bedders can sell out quite fast. People got deep pockets. Guess if upgrade from HDB, must at least stay in comparable size condo. No use squeezing whole family into MM. Also, big size means can stay long long. No need to upgrade again when family gets bigger, thus can ride out the property cycles better.

Do families buy MM for own stay?? in my opinion, MM is at most for 2 ppl. in fact i would think even 2 will find it cramped.

Pty price crash, govt does not need to reverse the CM to encourage more to buy coz its already very low. Rather, it is to promote employment to help people to buy. CM may be reviewed and changed accordingly too.

may i ask what is ltv?

LTV means 'Loan to value'. Its the guiding factor that banks can loan to the borrower according to the value of his house. 80% LTV means banks can only loan up to 80% of the value of the house. Currently, its 60% LTV for 2nd or more properties which have not been fully paid.

Agreed that 4 bedders are gaining popularity too, although not as hot as MM. Was just thinking what about those older condos which maybe 2 or 3 bedders but command a much larger size like 1200 sq ft for a non 1st floor and non penthouse 2 bedder unit or a 1500 sq ft for a 3 bedder? Hmmm... are these popular too?

definitely!! Its down to supply and demand .. Supply of big sized condo is low …hence demand is high. Hard to find big condos .. I used to stay in an old condo behind ngee ann poly. Very nice quiet surroundings with grennery .. Big unit (2 stories). Landlord staying at a new condo thats much smaller. when i asked why didnt he sell the old condo, he said its hard to find such big size condo anymore and he has rcv premium offers for the unit yet hes not selling it. probably holding for enbloc?? anw, its a really nice condo .. just that facilities are run down and quirky design (2.5m deep pool !! more for diving rather than swimming)but yea .. big old condo are like red wine .. they appreciate with timeeee

i think they up the price for pool view!

[Jcmillineum]

the ad is very enticing. till i read some comments here dat its in sunken land and near expressway. but its still selling like hotcakes. oh godd ..serious? i cant stand noisy places and the china chinese talk especially loud (no offence, its just my personal observation .. think its the culturally/socially influenced).. dats why i stay away from big projects

Yuckky ones always need good ads to entice mah....besides, it's district 14, gelling district. Cute models can't sway me from buying this...

[Jcmillineum]

lets have a celebration at the bbq pit when we get the keys LOL

Sure... can't wait...actually, its a short wait...see u in 1 year time yeah?...

[Jcmillineum]

quite subjective, wads a star buy to me may not be one to you. it depends on the value u place. i value pool view so an unit with one is a star buy. u may value an unit with many facilities so getting an unit at minton or euhabitat is a starbuy

Yup ...our starbuy definition is the same
pool facing one bedder with a nice balcony to chill out in...imagine alfresco dining beside the pool, candlelit dinners...and all at an affordable price for an MM....definitely a star buy...*high five*

heard less than 10 units left for pool facing now... congrats to all who got it on time!!

[Jcmillineum]

300 sq ft is like the size of normal hotel room sizes in Swissotel.

Imagine hotel stay every day....but we get direct pool facing, whereas we don't get that in swissotel otherwise....lol
can't wait!!!!!....lol

The coming trend is of the singles and the small families....more and more MMs due to this family and lifestyle trend. More and more people feeling that big families are not practical and a liability. This trend is in our favour..

yea most of the 2nd/3rd level one facing pool bedders were already taken the day i made the purchase. the balcony is quite spacious so its a pity not to have a pool view seriously

[graveyard]

2 bedder
#02-13 646sqft $851920 face church

Wah!

dats crazily exp. but i dont think this is facing church. its only the side window thats facing the church ..all units are either facing pool or main road / backyard. anw this one with side facing church only gets a piece of the pool from the balcony. Not nice

correction. i now know the position of the 2 bedders. there is only one block of 2 bedders. yes its facing the church, the unit has 2 balconies so yeah from one of the balcony, it does face the church
