never see any more of their advertisement in the papers after the launch.

Patience rule the day... developer waiting for Sky Habitat to push up the price so they can slaughter again! Wait Sky H sold out but here showflat agents still swatting flies...

86 more sold at 1246psf in mar. not too bad.

Just went to have a look, apparently the agent is giving additional 2% "agent rebate" in additional to the standard 20% discount.

It is so unfair to people who has bought it during the VVIP stage where it is now 2% lesser. Are they allowed to do that causing price discrepancies that is unfair to those already bought. Legally, is there a case against the developer or the marketing agencies?

[pinkpolkadot]

Heard it's for units that have not so good facing like road-facing and for limited time only.

What's so unfair about it? Property is not a homogenous product and early buyers have more units to choose their preferred units. Later buyers are left with less choices and thus might not get to choose their preferred unit in terms of floor, size, facing etc. this is not discriminatory pricing but differentiated pricing.

Even if the development was first launched, there is already discrimination pricing for floor level, view, etc. All these factors have already been taken into account from Day 1. So if the developer gives another 2% for less desirable units, it should be off those prices already distributed on launch day. In short, early buyers have been discriminated.

一分钱一分货.

There must be a reason why some units are selling for less. IMO if the property is for own staying I would rather pay a little bit more to have a better choice unit.

Agents want to subsidize that's their problem. Even if developer wants to give more, there's no rule against that, unfair as it might sound! Can we cry unfair to the late buyers when prices were raised just because economy improves? No one rule fits all type.

My suspicious is that there are sales target the marketing agencies have to achieved commited to developer. Based on another report that 9 units are return, after the buyer decide to forfeit the 1.5% booking fee.

So, maybe that 1.5% translate to roughtly 2 % rebate off nett price = 2% X 0.08 List price (becos 20% discount) = 1.6%...

So, my guess is maybe limited units becos there have flexibility due that amt of units peoiple returned and those money already gone into marketing agencies pockets perhaps.....

My point being this is not discriminatory but differentiated. Discriminatory is unfair but differentiated is fair....or at least in the eyes of the buyer....otherwise he wouldn't have bought it. As for those who had the 1st bite, chose the better units and now try to cry foul, I think they are just barking up the wrong tree and there is no case.

Thought the option fee is forfeited by developer not marketing agent.....

Seem like mistake in streetdirectory.com.
The temple is gone, and will be part of development site...include Bodhi tree.

The map slightly Mis-aligned I think? Although it show all the uc blocks.

The Perimeter is drawn fairly correct except they drew the temple over where the ramakrishna mission boys home should be. The actual demolished temple site should be at block 1 of the development.

Not likely, considered it's proximity to industry estate which will be ghosts town in week end.

[pinkpolkadot]

another residential project?

According to the master plan 2008 that is still correct.

[pinkpolkadot]

When is the next master plan?

When is the next master plan?

Overdue. Supposed to be last year I heard

[pinkpolkadot]

May change in next master plan.

You seen confident plan changed and is residential? u got winds or news?

[pinkpolkadot]

Heard some speculation. But it will be strange to have a residential project there. It is of a odd shape at the junction, with a substation. So may be will remain as a education institute site?

Odd shape is not an issue. Hillsta also has a substation next to it I heard. In terms of land usage, only know for sure when master plan refresh is out.

Insiders who are doing up the master plan 2012 if they know where are the new planned mega malls/MRT stations, wouldnt they make good profits sharing this information?

If you consider the upcoming HDB coming up further down towards woodleigh side, then seem more likely they will need more schools. So, likely they need to build more neighbourhood schools beside bartley sec & maris stella.
