The Parc (D5, Freehold, Chip Eng Seng & Lehman Brothers)

[Antz621]

Hello Tboonk,

Thanks to Cactus, I had sms his agent. She was quite nice in admitting to me that she didn't want to contact me at the moment although Cactus passed her my contact. Reason being because some of the sellers are holding back their units. I guess probably due to the considerable mismatch between our asking and their expecting price... Nonetheless I appreciate her honesty. In the meantime I had engaged 2 more agents to work on getting a unit done. One is also having some units on hand while the other is going to approach the developer direct for me. Perhaps we can mutually exchange and share info as we go along

Wat is the reasonable price to pay for a 3 bedroom in the Parc now?

the market price is around 850 psf..some owners are asking even higher around 900 psf . Reasonable price should be within the 800 psf range

[ECN]

Been staying in the east so not very familiar with the west, wish to know which is a better condo to buy for own stay. Reason for moving to the west is that kid studying at Clementi area and i heart pain see him traveling long hour everyday. Would appreciate any advise. Thanks!

Hi all! I bought a unit at The Parc too. However I bought it at quite a high price at blk 11. I am in a dilemma as to whether to sell it or to stay at the place since the transacted price is still below my cost price.

Well, how high did you get that unit?
If you can hold, you should wait and see the response to the launch of Hundred Trees (Former Hong Leong Garden) end of this month, which is launching it at least $920 - 950 psf.

[pinkamoon]

quite close to the launch price of 100 trees. When I decide to buy the Parc, I walked from the site to clementi, factored into the new rejuvenated town, the amenities around the area. When I finally decided, I had the intention to stay at this place. You know, looking at how the prices slide over the one and a half year can be scary.
These days the prices of the new condos are crazily high, even the hdb resale flats are VERY high too. So, hopefully the price of The Parc can escalate too. Just for assurance that there is potential for this place.

when i buy a place .. i always buy with intention to stay .. then consider if i want to rent ,,who would rent etc etc ..

in your case buying to stay ..no problem lah .. time is on your side ..

In term of distance to MRT & amenities, The Parc should beat Hundred Trees. So, don't see why you need to rush selling it if you are financially OK:-)

on the other hand ..nearer to clementi MRT also mean nearer to AYE ..also mean noiser ...

so pros and cons ..

if you get an upgrader who used to live next to a railway track .. then AYE is small fly compare to the train noise ..

so to each .. 'Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder"

[pinkamoon]

I understand launch price was like 950~1000+ for this project. Yet sold out within 2 weeks. That was during the crazy rush back in 2007. Yes, I also feel Parc is anytime better than CHI-BA-A-CHEW-ZHANG . However, just dun really buy the idea of having balconies for master bedroom as well as one of the bedroom for the PARC's 3 bedder and above. Kinda lugi unnecessarily on valuable floor area

This psf is probably for the smaller unit ones there. BTW, what is CHI xxxx? Are you swearing something?

The trees are supposed to be Japanese Sukura Trees. Then, the Japanese name of the condo can be known as 百桜の木 ?

Oh so that's the price range then during boom time '07 - thanks for the info

[Antz621]

Yes. But that would have the effect of drawing Jap expats to the development as they are the dominant expat racial group in west coast. Then maybe this pricing will be push up even further like that we locals lugi again. So better stick to CHI BA A CHEW ZHANG

[Antz621]

Yes. It was much crazier than the pricing at the 3 developments of BIC next to Hong Leong Gardens. Until today, sellers are still asking at > 900psf for it. I like the location very much. But the prices are just . Guess Cactus72 really got himself the best deal so far at $700psf for his unit...

[yinghere]

anybody know how to check the LATEST transaciton price of the Parc (i mean more update than those at URA website)? thanks!

[pinkamoon]

You can go to www.streetsine.com . I always go there to check for the latest transaction.

[yinghere]

thank you! i found from streetsine that there's not many transactions since Aug (only 1 actually), the no. of transaction for bigger size (1518sqf) units is far less (only 3 since July 07), and that the highest transaction price this year for a 1518sqf unit (high flr) is 824psf. But why are the sellers still asking for $950+psf for 1518sqf units (even for low flr)? are they serious sellers?
