Nowadays OA owners are very proud one, even 860psf also rejected.

Besides OA, any other big projects in East Coast are worthy to consider?

AALTO. Looks like going TOP early next year

It depends on which stack. High floor, premium stacks gg at 9xx psf. Lower floors and units getting e westsun should be 8xx psf.

Then it's only TSV, OA, Esta, Cote D Azur, Makena, still have a few for D15.

How about The Vertis (opposite to The Esta)? The outside workmanship looks good. Developer is Ho Bee.

could it be that OA owners have suddenly decided to hike the price due to its publicity?

A few weeks ago, sunday times featured on its investment section that OA is one of the projects where ppl are likely to find Fire Sales. Right after that week prices were hiked up. It could be due to

1) increased interest in the place due to publicity or

2) owners hike up price to hedge against future fall (to counter those looking for fire sales).

Agree. I personally think that the balcony is too big. Not much facility. I rather get Esta or OA.

Which are the premum stacks in your view?

First time in the fourm and also a potential first time home buyer...

Was eyeing the studio unit initially (lower absolute cost), but noticed that no one really talked about studio units for the past few months? Is it because all participants here are too established or is studio unit a bad idea?

Really learnt a lot reading past threads and appreciate any advice from all the seniors here. Thanks!

[WolleyDragon]

PSF is $947.. BUT.. total value is only $540,000.. because floor area is only 570 sqft..

not a true reflection of overall OA prices.. beware.

Actually, if you compare historical prices, $947 psf paid for 570 sqft is lower than what was paid during the boom period (2007 ~ 2008).

I'm comparing like for like.. basically going thru all the transactions in 2007 to now for 570 sqft apartment type.

What I just wish to make a point is that, we have property agents here trying to talk up the prices of D15.... ultimately, its up to individuals to do their own homework to determine the fact from the fiction.

Anywayz if there are Robert Chai buyers (chai tao) who believe wholesale what agents tell them and pay a premium, then what to do??

agree... and i think all buyers should give all those agent cheque base on $750psf and stand-off for desparate seller to walk into the ditch... if anyone go in higher then let them be the "Chai Tao"... sounds like a plan ?

For I still think there are too many "agents" at the forum and "physcial agents" out there for Amber area whom are talking the price up. Its going to drop 10% to 20% more... from various info and reports out there.

Dun tink so. Prices are indeed soaring for OA. I recevied news that there is a level 4 unit sold at near to $900psf.

You wouldn't want the studio. It looks and feels like leftover space after the bigger units have been carved out. Other developments have better studios. Try the small newly launched projects at Amber Road. Their studios are very efficient in layout.

You received news from who? How big is that unit? Maybe it's a studio again cause smaller size units if sell at 900 psf is ok.

Hi b&j,

Since you have been getting info from agents, can tell me what is the entry level offer at OA now? 800? 850?

And do you have any idea who are the people buying into Oa at 900+psf? Rich indonesians or rich china ppl or expats?

[franzmark]

just to check from fellow investors out there. what kind of price are you willing to wager on OA?
