    Default Cool reception to condo launch

    http://www.tnp.sg/content/cool-reception-condo-launch

    Named after a famous Greek island, The Santorini condominium was launched late last month, to little fanfare.

    The 597-unit condomium project in Tampines was the only major launch in March, but despite the low competition, sales at the 99-year-lease development were slow.

    A total of 80 out of 200 units were sold, mostly one- and two-bedders, said a spokesman for The Santorini.

    The average selling price was $1,100 psf.

    Developers are having to become increasingly aggressive in pushing sales in a cooling property market.

    Last Sunday afternoon, The Santorini held a seminar and carnival at the show-flat, inviting lawyers, bankers and PropNex chief executive Mohamed Ismail to provide advice to potential buyers.

    But when The New Paper visited the show-flat at Tampines Avenue 10 at about 4pm, the place was only about half-filled and there were more property agents than potential buyers there.

    Read the full report in The New Paper on Saturday (April 26).

    The market is obviously cooling. Prices are coming down, I think.
