Hey Reporter,

[bargain hunter]

his emphasis is on the 1500psf, you need to ignore the other numbers.

in comparison, might as well pay for a FH in Tiong Bahru like Twin regency?

[blackpepperj]

Developers are laughing all the way to the bank.

i understand that the resale asking price for the FH tiong bahru condos are higher than the 'normal' price range of AS units. furthermore, AS is a new development and it is nearer to MRT as compared to the FHs.

honestly speaking, these days, the difference in resale prices for FH and LH is not so big difference, esp in city area..

just my thoughts..

[bargain hunter]

i think the main selling point of ascentia sky is "unblocked panaromic north view of GCBs and greenery". something which the FHs in tiong bahru cannot give. i think if u check out the sold chart, u can see that significantly fewer buyers for the side facing mrt/redhill (southern view).

i think u r right.. the last time when i went to the showroom in Mar.. most of the 2-bedded units have been snatched up and many good view 3-bedded units are either not released or sold ... wonder how is it now..

If you need a rule,
between a near MRT and a Not near MRT one... choose the one nearer to MRT.

Next, between a FH & LH near to MRT, Choose the one that is cheaper in psf. Universal truth. If both are near MRT and one is LH and the other FH. The cheaper one is the right one. FH and LH useless in that context as FH sellers are faced with cheaper alternative. Remember the cheaper, better and faster rule?

FH commands a premium only because most people think they should. Their perception becomes a reality. But who really live beyond 50 years after buying the house? Let the next generate worry for themselves. In fact, houses should be sold on a 60 or 30 year lease. Such as Govt studios now.

read about AS recently on the papers offering free hokkaido tickets for buyers.. but starting price for 2-bedded is over 1,400 psf... a case of 羊毛出之羊身上？

to me this project shld hv sold out long ago.. 1400 or even 1500psf is not outlandish considering its location and surroundings..
the reason is not i suspect is the unit layouts which cannot compete with currently popular no bay/w, no planters-config

[bargain hunter]

maybe those facing north should have or has been sold out. facing south ie mrt and hdb then not worth liao at 1400 or 1500. and precisely of the lots of wasted space, that's why 1400 or 1500 is ex and quantum is big. i would re-iterate that the planters are outside the windows ie not accessible by foot and really solely for potted plants.

yes such planter design is really one of a kind and was popular in condos circa early 2000

so overall really very poor design... looks like wing tai got lazy and is now stuck with something dat may amount to functional obsolescence~

[bargain hunter]

actually, i think wing tai just wanted to maimise their margins. they bid too high (in 2007 peak terms) and were forced to come up with something like this and priced like this so that they can still make a decent profit.

they are quite low key in pushing out the 2nd phase units. did not see any publicity on the papers, mostly sold through private sale.

passby the site just now... think it has been built to about 10 storey now.

prefer metro if u ask me....side gate to MRT and layout much better(less wasted space)

[loonymaloney]

DP chief, any idea where's the thread for metropolitan (if that's the development you meant)? Can't seem to find it anywhere in this forum.
