Pretty sure secondary market is close to dead.
Started getting cold calls from agents to "sell, market very high!"
Funny how I never get these calls when the markets on fire.......

I agree resale is bad as ABSD has killed off this segment. It makes more sense to buy new launch from developers. Prob another 6 months is needed for owners to be more willing to negotiate.

Happy house hunting... The double bay residence loos good compared to recent launches.

Another favourite line is "your offer of $x is too low. Another potential buyer offered $x+y but it is still too low and the owner rejected the offer".

**irisng** · 29-02-12, 07:19

So many ungraders buying EC, so they must sell away their current HDB flats within 6 months (if I'm not wrong). If buying pte ppty, unless they have holding power, if not they also have to sell away their HDB flats, so for both cases, most likely resale market for the HDB will drop.

Last time, my agent (new) didn't know how to use this method. Keep on pressing my price to suit the other side (experience agent). So many viewers and yet I still couldn't get the price I want. First time selling house, no experience, scared that I couldn't sell it away because I had bought an EC. Some of the viewers are very interested, came 2 to 3 times, but still not willing to pay. In the end, I sold it to a China PR but still at a lower side, now he "tan tio", it is a 5 room flat in Bishan near MRT station.

thats why sometimes i feel buying or selling best to do it your ownself is POSSIBLE at least end of day you can only blame yourself...although i must admit recently when i sold my condo...my agent was champion and never reduced my price for a few weeks and eventually SOLD at almost my asking...for that i paid him 2% comm thats a LOT for condo close to 1 million...guess end of day it boils down to luck but i must admit an experienced and honest agent is VERY important...

**devilplate** · 29-02-12, 08:55

"btw last offer is xxx"

in a way it cud means seller wun accept anything lower

Similar sentiments : I also paid more than 2 percent and got very good price that was unbeatable for many many months to come....

Some agents even show you a 1% cheque, It is up to you to believe if the cheque really comes form the potential buyer or just "to pressure you" to offer more.

these are the type of agents that will never rest in HEAVEN...

**howgozit** · 29-02-12, 13:21

My favourite agent line is "almost sold"

**ysyap** · 29-02-12, 13:31

The classic one is 'now's the best time to sell' to sellers and 'now's the best time to buy' to buyers, regardless of the time...

I always get this "It's not about when to buy. It's all about when to sell. So buy now!"

So to the seller, he'll say, 'its not about when to sell, its all about when to buy. So sell now!'...

As a buyer, just say I offer the price of $y 000 000.
This is my name card. Call me if you are agreeable.

**DaytonaSS** · 29-02-12, 21:52

the most hated line. "At his PSF range i ownself buy".

This kind of agent fuk up. Want buy then meet buyer for what. If buyer wants to pay sky price need agent for what right?
