Stand aside and watch. There's all you do. Keep doing just that.Originally Posted by mantrix
Precisely. Good deal as well!Originally Posted by beepbeep
Parc Centros likely the last near-MRT project in Punggol. For those who love Punggol like bro Mantrix, and have the dough, seriously consider it. It's attractively priced for that kind of proximity. Ahem, not an agent.

Over 60% of Parc Centros sold; location a strong pull

Parc Centros: The project's three- and four-bedders were the fastest to move - WEE HUR
PARC Centros blazed the trail in private homes sales last week.
More than 370 of the condominium project's 618 units are said to have found buyers. This means that that over 60 per cent of the 99-year leasehold project, released at a $950 psf average price last week, has been taken up.
Word on the ground is that unlike typical mass-market condo launches, it was the project's three- and four-bedders which were the fastest to move - whereas one-bedders have been selling at a slower pace.
The 16-storey condo has one to five-bedroom units in addition to penthouses. Absolute prices start from $550,000 for a one-bedroom apartment. Two bedders are priced from $750,000, while three and four bedders start from $880,000 and $1.22 million respectively.
Market watchers attribute Parc Centros' strong sales to the current popularity of Punggol, especially the project's proximity to the MRT station and future shopping facilities (at the upcoming Waterway Point mall). Most importantly, Parc Centros' $950 psf average price is considered relatively attractive compared with the Watertown condo, which was released in January achieving a median price of $1,169 psf in the initial month, quickly rising to $1,341 psf the following month. As at end-June, 943 of the Watertown's 992 homes had been sold, according to developer sales data released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority.
However, Watertown comprises mostly one and two-bedders, and typically smaller units sell at higher psf prices. Watertown and Waterway Point are being developed by a Far East Organization, Frasers Centrepoint and Sekisui House joint venture. Parc Centros is being developed by construction and property group Wee Hur Holdings.
Meanwhile at Flora Drive in the Upper Changi Road vicinity, Koh Brothers is said to have sold more than 170 units at its Parc Olympia condo project as at early yesterday evening. The project has been on the market for over a week.
Koh Brothers released 234 of the project's 486 units in two stages the previous week - 118 units on July 12 at an average price of $820 psf after a 16 per cent early-bird discount, followed by 116 units released on July 15 with the discount clipped to 15 per cent.
Parc Olympia, which will be developed next to the Japanese School, has six blocks of eight storeys and two seven-storey blocks. Meanwhile, United Industrial Corporation has begun selling its 99-year leasehold V on Shenton condo on the former UIC Building site at Shenton Way since Friday to business associates, ex-tenants and minority owners of the site and VIPs.
As at yesterday evening, 90-plus units are said to have been sold out of about 130 released on 10 levels (anywhere from the 17th to 46th floors of the 54-level project). The average price is around $2,200 psf. UIC has closed the showflat, which is at The Gateway on Beach Road, and is expected to re-open it this weekend.
price will be >$800 psf?Originally Posted by rymccondo77
Prive or Twin Waterfalls are about 6 min walk to MRT.Originally Posted by rymccondo77
The new EC is not as close- Punggol "central" yes, but walk takes at least 10 min.
Developer- Prive- NTUC. Twin waterfalls-Frasers. Upcoming one-Qingjian.
I think pricing should be in 700-800 psf range.
Yes, the new EC would be further away, though a 10 minute to 15 minute walk is still acceptable (at least for me).Originally Posted by rabid
There will be at least 2 more ECs in the future in Punggol if I am not mistaken - 1 south of Twin Waterfalls (besides TPE) and one close to Flo Residence.
does any1 know the actual and forecast population of Punggol for next 5 yrs?

Affordable means small
definitely not my 2 br ATT with pool view at high floor is already cheaper than the starting price of 2 br Parc Centros.Originally Posted by mantrix

my opinion is that prive and twinwaterfalls are the two best EC sites in punggol. with twin waterfalls having the advantage of nicer landscaping and proximity to expressway.
yes, wt's 1 bedder and att's 2 bedder are much better than parc centrosOriginally Posted by toufu
Too near expressway will be very noisy for whole day!Originally Posted by rabid
Wee Hur DAMN LUCKY, if they delay launch by one week, and everybody see tomorrow ST big big bearish news sure cannot sell so well, the timing is SUPER
IT IS THE END TO SPAIN
DAX plunged 4%, Dow plunged 3%, Greek plunged 7%
Spain Bans Short-Selling for Three Months, Possibly Longer

What is happening to spain? How can it impact Singapore market then?
Agree that proximity to MRT and amenities is really key. It's not about resale value. Speaking from experience, it's about your own time saved. No need to take feeder bus/LRT, drive out to buy food/groceries. Over your lifetime, it's a lot of time/effort saved to do other things. Frankly, if I dun have money to buy a condo near MRT/amenities, I would rather buy a HDB than buy a condo near nothing. Me also not agentOriginally Posted by Molotov
Will they be the new champion for returned unitsOriginally Posted by phantom_opera
really? Glad to hear that!Originally Posted by toufu
But then why did Wee Hur chairman say that they bought the land 13% cheaper which translates into cheaper prices? Or maybe their preview prices lower than 950psf i believe?
I am rich in debts...
Minus commercial space, the projected ultimate of Punggol already exceed Tampines!Originally Posted by yjcai
Olympia and PC mostly buy for own stay, I think shd be ok. Look at the BT rpt about low no of small units sold and u can tell many are upgraders.Originally Posted by insigina
