Why many forumers buy OCR instead of CCR?!

**phantom_opera** · 22-12-12, 17:37

I noticed many forumers here bought OCR instead of CCR ... am sure it is not just issue of affordability...care to share why?

**august** · 22-12-12, 18:02

affordability... cannot get the same big space for same price at CCR.

but going forward i dunno, as OCR new launches since 2010 also shranked in sizes. Maybe that's why some people aim JB.

**mcmlxxvi** · 22-12-12, 18:09

no brainer when it comes to investment for cashflow.

Cannot afford CCR ..

in fact, me cannot afford 2-3br ocr also

**gfoo** · 22-12-12, 18:20

all i can say as a virgin to ocr is that it's freaking scary to buy ocr. it's almost as if normal fundamentals do not exist for buyers in those areas. for eg why are people paying 1200-1300psf to stay next to industrial estates? or 1300-1400psf for places that have an incessant supply of condos coming up? i've even seen people who don't even bargain at property showrooms.

bro gfoo u buy penthouse sure can bargain lah ... if buy 1br/2br it is very hard to bargain with FEO ... but they have referral scheme loh

are u hinting at S* (industrial estate) and T* (non-stop supply)

but Forestkill also upcoming supply mah

if you say scary buying OCR ... how about buying all the HDBs at 1m or 1.33m?

Not true. Check out the prices for d'Leedon. They could be cheaper than some of the newly launched or launching OCR.

Maybe I blur sotong, but I cannot get the floor plans of d'Leedon. I am not looking to buy hor, just kp.

**phantom_opera** · 22-12-12, 18:46

another potential reason could be CCR lacking of new launches so attention diverted

marketing engine full power at OCR

like some bro said, sg is so small, the whole dam* island is a city

Its like buying bag from Charles & Keith vs a bag from Hermes. Both are bags. It is the prestige. if orchard condo has same psf (&price) as a condo at tanah merah or cck who in their right mind will buy tanah merah or cck.

Exactly

I also cannot understand.

My first condo was a LH in cck area.
When mkt started to move up in 2006 cck barely moved. Took many more years to register any increase in psf

I dunno this time round is it still going to be like that

**East Lover** · 22-12-12, 22:51

As MM King said, 3M factors

If got mall, mrt, MM in far far away north east, also can sell sky high.

We can only buy one for the own stay, the rest, have to look for rental yield and capital appreciation potential.

Can't only see the psf, must see the quantum and the layout design. Few years back big layout come with baywindows everywhere, even in toilet, end up we have to pay more for the actual livable space.

**star** · 22-12-12, 23:42

It is more on which district u are in and whether the district got future development coming or not. CCK also got mrt, mall but condo near it price are not high.

cck definitely has potential to go much higher. hold is recommended......

Those who bought OCR since 2011 has yet to really made a profit, take note of this.
On paper , you see selling px of new OCR projects is going higher and higher, this pushes many ordinary sporeans enter this game. OCR pties have lower quantum, the easiest to enter.
Come 2015 when most of them are completed, 4y SSD is over, you will see if any capital gain to be made.
