Mass- and mid-market projects fared better yesterday, going by the showflat traffic at The Palette and Seastrand at Pasir Ris, Archipelago at Bedok Reservoir and Nottinghill Suites at Toh Tuck Road.
Their prices range from $900 psf to $1,550 psf.
Steady streams of couples and families turned up at the showflats but many left without buying.
When asked, several said that while they were unaffected by the new measures and looking to buy for their own use, they were keeping their options open.
They added that price was a crucial tipping point and they were hoping that the new measures would bring down costs.
Analysts have predicted that the Government's latest move to cool the property market could cause prices to fall by as much as 30 per cent over the next year.
Mr Michael Tan, 40, who works in IT and was at The Palette showflat, said: 'I'm looking to buy for myself but I'm also looking for more bargains.'
Mr Tan Kok Keong, head of research at OrangeTee, said the situation yesterday was not unlike that in January, after the last round of cooling measures.
'Visitorship at showflats then didn't fall. As for today's situation, the high-end market has also been slowing down for some time so this outcome is not totally unexpected.
'But for the other projects, it could be a case of Singaporeans doing research so they will be better prepared to make a purchase when the prices drop.'
But one buyer, who gave her name as Ms Chee, took the plunge - on a $567,000 one-bedroom unit at The Palette, despite family objections.
The 37-year-old permanent resident, who is currently renting a place, said it was her first property.
'My family has been nagging me since the middle of this year to hold off because they believe prices will fall further.
'But at the end of the day, it's my money and I think there's no need to wait. More important is whether you feel comfortable about the price and whether it's within your budget,' said the operations manager at a logistics firm.

Bro! u make me cold sweat and cant sleep the whole night.
Not exercising means got to forfeit more than 10k of my blood-shed $.

Now thinking should i back out and gamble that the price drop at least 20%
But then my beloved unit may be gone.

Maybe call developer & pity us and give one time discount 5% for all who bought

have a heart, advise properly through experience

need to clarify: i don't advise people at all. property buying is a personal decision. i am just stating my investment values and beliefs. hence indeed only enter the market with what one can stomach.

Far East Organization sold about 15 units at its projects across Singapore over the weekend.
A City Developments spokeswoman said that 'a few' units at 892-unit The Palette were sold on Saturday: 'To date, we have sold more than 400 units out of 450 units launched.'
None of the buyers who purchased homes in the project at Pasir Ris have withdrawn their options due to the implementation of the new measures, she added.
CapitaLand likewise said that no buyers at the 583-unit Bedok Residences, which was launched last month, have said they would not exercise their options. That project is currently over 80 per cent sold.
Other developers said it was 'business as usual' at their showflats, but admitted that sales were slower compared to a week ago.

Thats strange. Buyers can easily buy back at $200K cheaper if withdraw now based on all the expert analyst prediction

[bargain hunter]

buyers may lose 200k in paper value but not necessarily can EASILY or ABLE to buy back at $200k cheaper. there's a difference u know?

if buying for own stay..personal preferences also important and it maybe hard to get a unit later that suits your taste and liking after giving it up... especially those good facing one...

u need me put up more caveats of 1996 peakest prices, like now.

and see the up/down prices trend thereon for next few years..??

[devilplate]

ocr px also can fall till like shyt ok....

1 eg i can tink of:

changi court/green 2bdr cost 7xxk during launch.....it ever drop as low as 450k ok.....hehehe....FH ok.....hehehe

[phantom_opera]

for 1 million, 1.25% is 12.5k ... my record loss in one single warrant punting years ago was 18k because i clicked the wrong counter (call vs put)

from that day onwards, I grouped CALL/PUT separately under different screens ... and double check 3X b4 I click

property very hard to cut loss one once u exercise, loss can be in terms of hundreds of thousands ...

[bargain hunter]

yah lor. dun learn how to cut loss cannot make big money.

[bargain hunter]

yah. so everyone has to think very carefully before they exercise. but once they are clear about their objectives, which varies from person to person, then by all means, exercise that option.

Last time got no "protection". Now buyers are prepared to hold for long with the 4yrs ssd in place.

Spore have changed to MNC - Multi-national Country. Almost half are non-sg. They say here very safe & clean, no natural disaster, good children education etc etc.
