Isn't it gd that so-called unsavvy ppl r buying this, leaving more chance for savvy ppl to buy the gd deals later on?

what was the occasion in the showroom last night. saw loads of people in there at 8plus. is the new strategy to keep showroom open past office hours so that people can have a chance to view after work?
For me (personal preference) - the one facility that I always look out for in a condo is a Putting Green.
One of the older condos (Regent Heights) has a golf driving range (think there maybe a few others with golf driving range).
And some others have golf simulators while some others have a mini golf facility for children.
this place better sold out 2/3 of the units otherwise sky habitats cannot move...
if SV fully sold, then SH should move faster as it is more premium and would be able to command its asking psf now that there is a benchmark.
I am rich in debts...
but SH will only be attractive if the future selling $ is lower den the current. Else, to the potential buyers, he will still feel tat SH is overpriced after factoring in the "premium" aspects.
Wif SV launched at such low $, it's gonna widen the gap & make the matter worse.
So maybe next time SH lelong 1000psf to clear stocks?
SV sales should be better as there are a higher proportion of smaller units / lower quantum.
Will be still be challenging for Capitaland to sell the bigger units in SH unless they give attractive discounts.
Think will also be challenging for the bigger units of SV to be sold - around $1.5M for a 3 Bedroom unit (1141 square feet) on the lower floors.
The selling strategy for SV and SH is commonly known.
Start off SV with slightly lower psf, then inch it up quickly to over take the SH.
Then both sells out!
The logic is simple, if you price your Bishan units at lower price than Jurong, you can certainly expect many people to bite.
Who on earth dont know that Bishan is a more superior location than Jurong ?
DKSG
A good property in a good location should sell by itself, it doesnt need to use J Gateway or much convince to sell.
For SV, price will never be able to surpass SH purely because SV are build for budget conscious buyer who cant afford SH. Having said that, if you wishes to apply the Regulator idiotic way of comparing psf price without considering floor and facing, then perhaps you could be right that high floor of SV will be more expensive than low floor of SH.
Then again, based on what your said in july, the price of Bishan property should actually be going up and perhaps higher than J Gateway.
I wonder what is happening? Act of god perhaps?

like twin brothers?

SH is iPhone 5S
SV is iPhone 5C lah
is tomorrow the launch for skyvue?
Just visited SV last weekend.
I think the 1 bedder layout is good. 2 bedder only 678sqft layout is better, others all very weird. 3 bedder's room too small, like very Mickey Mouse.
Price is very attractive compare to SH. Just wonder how the SH have to move in the future. Can developer slash price? If do so, it will be very un-fair for the previous SH buyers. Is there any history developer slash price and sell?
from http://forums.condosingapore.com/sho...00&postcount=1
"CapitaLand slashed prices at projects such as d'Leedon and The Interlace by as much as 15 per cent after the Government's seventh round of property curbs in January.
It also said in July that it was marketing some units at Sky Habitat at a discount.
Still, 318 units at d'Leedon and 207 units at The Interlace remained unsold at the beginning of this month, which works out to about a fifth of each project.
At Sky Habitat, 337 units are unsold, or two-thirds of the total number."
just for the info of new buyers: developers DO slash prices. they have no obligation to protect the current buy prices of buyers.
Hi BH,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Just feel un-fair for those earlier buyer. Sigh......
I think developer also bo-bian, now due to TDSR, buyer not able to got loan.
Briefly glance through, i think the favourable quantum now is at most 1.3m. Any price higher than that, very hard to move.
They price damn solid.... This one damn hot... Will sell like hotcakes....
So now can someone compare this w glades and share comments
i think maybe can tahan 1.5m+ a bit but max should be about there.
if u look at the caveats for District 20, there are quite a few people who bought above 1.5m and/or above 1500psf before the latest measures. will be hard for them to re-sell. they have been undercut by sky vue, thomson three and potentially panorama.
