IMO, a good selling price will be not more than $800psf.
Actually i just got a call from an agent from hutton. According to him, they went for a briefing with CDL yesterday. Indicative price of $930 - $980 has been reduced to $713 to $813 psf. This is what he said, so if its not correct during the launch, please do not come after meOriginally Posted by iridrium
Hi John, juz wondering how is it that your fren's cpf plus his wife's one can be in multiples of 30k? Thot got cap one? Anyway, if they've taken the grant, then they shld live with & standby their actions lor

$713 to $813 will be a reasonable price for the preview at that location.Originally Posted by forest tree
Who is right? I just called a few Hutton agents that i knew personally. None said had briefing yet to reduce the indicative price. Indicative price is still $930 - $980 ?
How can prices goes back to 2006?Originally Posted by jonleelk
Actually the national average psf price is about this price, new launches have skewed the analysis.Originally Posted by Property_Owner
.......u can talk to the bank & offer to be their guarantor. no bank will turn down business and they will be all the more happier to have a guarantor for standby......Originally Posted by forest tree
btw any idea what was the land cost for CDL?
if CDL's land cost is only 360, the selling price should be around $800. (360+270 construction for mass market = total cost $630). CDL is not FEO so can't be 1k.Originally Posted by jonleelk
As a reference Botannia was launched at 750.
I'm concerned about the AYE noise. Have you been to Infiniti ? Those units facing AYE are really noisy. You must close door at all times. And at the swimming pool you can hear the constant hum from AYE. From the site plan of 100 tree, I see the swimming pool is also along the AYE just like Infiniti.
Btw I still dun understand some forum member mentioning Carabelle is "very quiet". (I didn't see Carabelle.) Maybe it has something to do with the orientation. But its pool is also facing AYE ...
Carabelle pool indeed has less noise. Cos probably infiniti and the blocks near AYE have absorbed most of the noise. Plus the water feature of the pool overflowing does creating some noise which probably drown the AYE road noise.Originally Posted by amk
carabelle pool is not facing AYE but behind stack 01 to 09. the east side of the pool still noisy coz AYE not totally blocked. the west side very quiet coz completely blocked by infinity. site plan of hundred tree is similar to existing hong leong, so can go there and hear. must be noisy.Originally Posted by amk
What I meant was that the total amount in CPF that can be used for house was more than 100k (a multiple of 3 times 30K). Agree that there is CPF contribution cap of $4500 each.Originally Posted by cheerful
You might ask me take cpf grant also got cap of 8k house hold income right? Correct, when they buy their household income is still below 8k household income but now is way above.
Good suggestion. Not sure if they will accept but worth trying if the price is good.Originally Posted by KarenK
I drove around over the weekend, the worst blocks are those nearest to Ayer rajah hawker centre becos it's very near to aye connect to clementi 6 ave road. Somemore the road upslope, it's the same height as 4 storey high.
yup...I will avoid those blocks as well.Originally Posted by forest tree
The landed facing blocks likely will be shielded from the aye noise. However, as it is very close to the inner small road (much closer compared to distance between the aye facing blocks and aye), vehicles moving in the small road can be quite loud.
Did a short walk this evening. Walk from Hong Leong Gardens entrance (where they are building the showflat) to Blk 506 took me 2 min. Last time walk from 506 to the u/c clementi shopping centre was 10 min as stated. Thus my initial estiamte of 15min from Hundred Tree to MRT is still correct for my walking pace.Originally Posted by jonleelk
btw...I am 1.84m tall...thus I have long legs.
between the two upcoming launches Interlace and Hundred Trees, which do you think is a better development?
Eh ... bro, how to compare ah? 1 is almost FH while the other is LH ... 1 has more trees while the other tries so hard to look differentOriginally Posted by Allthepies
Common points: both not exactly near MRT
just my personal view... Interlace looks pretty interesting, I think at least for rental expats may like to stay there. For 100 Trees, more for home stay I think; also the AYE noise is really a big concern.Originally Posted by Allthepies
The showflat looks almost done. Furniture already delivered and partially set up already. Rows of plants (not the hundred trees) also newly planted in front of the showflat.
Guess is now just waiting for the ghost month to end for the preview. Huttons agents are already seen outside the showflat promoting the hundred trees to passer-bys. But if it is still selling from $938psf, any reason to buy when carabelle/botannia/the parc are all selling at $850++ currently?
i think they will still buy 100 3 even if its 938 psfOriginally Posted by jonleelk
becos if they buy carabelle or botannia ..banks may not match those psf .. so they will still pay higher psf cos can get loan
if they buy at 938psf, how much do u think they can sell??Originally Posted by proud owner
even the Parc, which is better location perhaps, is also going for around 900psf, and Interlace, much better I thnk, is going at just under 1000psf.
One North is asking 1100psf....
in any case, the high asking price will benefit the surrounding developments, bring up their asking price and making them more attractive.
i got a feeling now banks are getting less fearful and matching resale valuations already.
I recently called up to enquire abt a subsale, and based on the asking price (abt 20% higher than developer's sale roughly), i was surprised the agent said the price was backed by bank valuations!
But who's biting nobody knows. probably for those very popular pjts people might still go for the subsale though.

if the reporter who interviewed her last time ... maybe should interview her again .. ask if she still LOVE it the way she loved it before and ask if 800k for a Bishan HDB was really worth it ...
So which is the most ex mass market condo now? Still Centro?Originally Posted by Honesty
