Why is NR better?

2 bedder @ 1200 psf, should consider Nin residences better.

[2824]

Why is NR better?

1. nearer to MRT
2. Better furnishing (from what i hear)
3. No bay windows and planter boxes
4. floor area both are about 800+ sqft. so price differential not that much.

Just my opinion only lah

The exclusivity of NR (200 units) vs the slightly more comprhensive facilities of 8@W will cancel each other off.

from investment point of view: if 8wood similar psf and quantum vs NR, i will aso pick NR bcoz everybody buying at similar pricing whereas for 8wood , its dangerous to buyers to buy at 1200psf whrby 1st owners bot ard 750-800psf....during downturn, owners can dump their units at 900psf aso can make abit of profit....den valuation will drop like hell.....whereas for NR, mostly bot at similar pricing and very unlikely they will sell at a loss unless really desperate

But I think most owners of 8@W who are still holding now are genuine stayers and investors who probably have the power to hold out. Most of those who are out for quick bucks would have exited already.

So I think there are little opportunities for those with vested interest now to sell at $900psf even when economy goes down. Unless the fella got into really hot soup like facing bankruptcy or divorce, then perhaps there is a chance for some lucky passerbys to pick a falling durian.

Exclusivity usually comes at a shocking price
(some are upfront, some are hidden)

When considering the points

availability >> timing >> for BUC, thats the TOP..
locality... abt same for NR & 8@W
land type
sizable design
size

I viewed timing as the most critical... that's just my opinion
we will see if the macro environment is favorable when TOP arrives

i am not so optimistic la hehe

8wood prices will be safer and firmer after 6mths from TOP.....tats when the bulk of 'speculator' will exit.....so timing is impt....so we better pray economy doing well when 8wood TOP

jus to add: still can take 80% LTV when 8wood is launched.....so kind of weaker aso la...if u noe wat i mean

I know...you talking about those who leverage heavily on their debts with multiple properties purchase....

[ysyap]

The next one to two years are really crucial for the housing prices. Its really . Can potentially swing either way. Think 8@W will TOP first so hmmm... very tricky indeed!

First 4 bedder subsale.

That time got money also cannot buy

[sleek]

Why not?

[2824]

Why not?

All snapped up before my queue no, just like the studios, during launch day. Think many snapped up by VVIPs.

anyway i think there are not many 4 bedder in PP/ Woodleigh area, except for blossoms & Euro asia. The others like 1 leicester, W28, Parc Mondrain and Nin all don't have.

So i think there will be a premium for it in future!!

Recently a similar but more ridiculous psf appeared for Clovers by the Park and a possible explanation to it could be used for this one too. That is, the owner originally intended to pay everything without loan but decided otherwise so took loan and bank can only lodge a caveat against that property after the loan is taken up. Or this owner took up only 50% loan so a delay in the caveat? Not an expert in this though!

[sleek]

Highest caveat lodged for launch sale was $813psf or $1.12M for a 13th floor unit, so should be a subsale.
