got two 99LH plots behind Queens and Alexis slated under GLS in 2Q10. They wont be cheap, but who knows wait global crisis come again.Originally Posted by DC33_2008
the last crisis showed me how i've underestimated the savings of singaporeans. and now we have more millionaires in singapore.Originally Posted by august
i fully agree with your comments... recession or not, housing market in singapore will prevail.... there are just too many rich people locally and overseas....Originally Posted by kane
it also showed me that the majority of singaporeans have no foresight ..Originally Posted by kane
but followers ..
when properties were dirt cheap in 2005-6 where were they hiding ?
only when the experienced local investors started buying , further fuelled by foreign buyers ....then they jumped in ..
with their savings ...they could have bought alot alot more and alot alot cheaper ...
having said that ... i am happy we have them .. to help push up our portfolio
We're not as enterprising la. But if you have too many smart buyers, then this market will have less inefficiencies to exploit.
Proud owner, like your thoughts on resale, if a 5 year old resale sells at 30% below a new launch in it's vicinity. Is there value? It seems no one loves resale in Singapore.
i suspect a lot of wealth was generated during the 2007 run up and the many enblocs ~Originally Posted by proud owner
err..u also fighting with me over cheap deals during 05-06 period? i started early 06 though...03-04 largi better...just snap up all u have for ICON and now just shake leg at hm...too bad, i was still studying my silly and useless degreeOriginally Posted by proud owner
if after 50-100k massive reno and still 30% below average new launches prices...y not...go for itOriginally Posted by kane
many using resale prices to compare with the highest psf launched at new projects which is inaccurate...use similar sizes and average prices and factor in 50k at least for reno
aiyah, 2006 u buy is best liao. no need holding opportunity cost and participate in 2007 run up immediately.
agree with august, 2007 all the right ingredients were there, apart from ppty, stock and economy also at its biggest boom.

Just to give u some information when there may not be too much information.
Transactions at this development is near all time low of just ONE transaction done in Apr and ONE in May. Now is end of June, not sure how many done in June ?
Low volume usually precedes price correction, but I maybe wrong.
Just my observations (the hypothesis that low vol precedes xxxx), and hard facts (the volume part).

For this project, perhaps just means that too many (better) alternatives for buyers to look at. Nobody bothers about Alexis anymore... it's 'old news'.Originally Posted by DKSG
