cant sell well enuff locally?

cos lots here think it's overpriced. so they might as well pick the low hanging fruits in china.

[DaytonaSS]

i come to realize after 5 years of looking at the market since i look at my first property that, the notion of overpriced is relative n subjection.

When the market started its ran up in 2006, everything looks expensive cos we compare it to the price we could have got it abit earlier. After the ran up for 2 years, my friend bough a older condo in CCK for 580K, 3 br. i though y buy at such high price? it went higher.

Looking at new launches, which new launch pple never shout over priced! Caspian? Dakota projects? Sail(record pricing), Quintet, Trizon, and many more. I come to realise pple find it expensive because new ones are priced higher the nearby older projects, thus the notion.

Hence i conclude, the term "overpriced" is a factor of price trend 4-5 years down the road again. With Strong economic growth, scarse land , stable political environment and right smack in the center of a growth region, lets pray for steady growth of 5-6% in price every year for next 4-5 years. HUAT HUAT ah.

If foreign capital is allow to flow in freely to acquire hard assets here, we could see another round, even we may think how ridiculous it is. Just think of HK.

they have the resources to market their project else where even though they are not able to sell out in Singapore.

[westman]

On one hand, local citizen are trailing behind the housing prices becos of "DEMAND" from residents. On the other hand, TLC develop projects for overseas needs?

Now is d'Leedon and tot Bishan would be next!
MBT really need to review his housing policies wor!

[hyenergix]

Capitaland has over-projected the purchasing power of locals and is asking the Chinese to bail it out Why should the Chinese buy if it is not for speculation purpose? The private property market here has entered the bubble stage.

my guess is that most projects will continue to sell out if not for the lastest cooling measure. Most pple are holding their horses to see if indeed prices drop as MBT write in papers .

OCR calling 1200-1300 also selling out, why would $1500-1600 psf in CCR area be a problem? The Lanai selling $1400+++ @ HILLVIEW area also got pple commit...... The Cape @ parkway area calling $1800 psf after discount!

Maybe we dont know, but there are tons of blood rich pple around whom can afford 30-40% Dp.

I went to interlace and dleedon again today and then went to my manhattan... I feel very strongly that interlace and dleedon is a gem... It is definitely ahead of it's time and in 5 to 10 years times I am sure people will grab units there...

Look at it... Interlace is 1100 psf, my manhattan is 1100 to 1200 psf... And you look at how cramp the facilities and the compound is... There is totally no comparison man....

I am really baffled at why heartlander singaporean just look at OCR properties.... Amazing... Don't bother to look around... Just as long I can affordnit, near met and some crappy heartland mall then buy buy buy : o

[CCR]

And I don't feel that the layout is odd....especially dleedon... Really nice man.... You must go see the show flat at dleedon then immediately drive over to my manhattan andyou will know what I mean... There is really no comparison man....

interlace phase 3 launch already?

[stalingrad]

the buyers of d'leedon, interlace and the cascadia are all primarily mainland chinese.

expect these condos to become mini-chinatowns.

I'll rather be with typical singaporean upgraders than snobbish rich mainland chinese

Also, apart from OCR and CCR / RCR status there is nothing much separating these places. Amenities-wise, Manhattan is much more convenient. All 99 LH anyway.

Boundary lines are blurring - the discerning investor doesn't look at district names anymore. They look at proximity of transport, education, amenity and recreational infrastructure - something that mature suburban towns now boast of.

Why you didn't mention your Crapbelle also has many PRCs (those that can't afford d'leedon etc?)

I have a different take on this OCR/CCR debate.I believe not all Ccr is created equal.You cannot compare Simei and Nassim road-that's just silly.But Simei and Novena -why not?Let's say I work at Changi biz park and my kids go to UWC Tampines-what would I choose?
I don't know the d'leedon area well enough to comment.what "vibe" do you get-is it more Dempsey road or Thomson Road?

That is so not true...... Try and make your way to dleedon and my manhattan project and you tell me this two projects are the same? If the same why don't developer price it the same? In terms of the facilities it's totally non comparable man....

In terms of location.....
My manhattan has mrt and a mall...
Dleedon has mrt wet market hawker centre, holland village dempsey village and orchard road is 5 mins away

[teddybear]

Isn't CCR- OCR about location which is the most important criteria when buying properties? You think CCR got real boundaries from OCR? What blurring? OCR can become closer to CBD? More like traffic from OCR into CDB getting worse from increase in population & cars, traveling time longer & longer. Nowsadays the worst place to live seem to be Hougang, Sengkang, Punggol etc with massive number of properties already there + under dev + to be build.

If you look towards farrer road from dleedon then it definitely feels more like Thomson road... If you look towards lee don road then definitely like Dempsey, nassim...

It's ok - we all agree to disagree

I can also say Manhattan has CBP, airport (may have more traffic than orchard once GST is removed in all 3 terminals), 4th uni nearby - also near to beach.

Orchard? Is just a touristy shopping area anyway - see all the same brands also (LV, Prada, Gucci, sianz)

Holland and dempsey V? Can walk there from D Leedon? Very long walk though. And those places are not the sort of places one would typically go to everyday - nothing special to be honest. I used to frequent those places and they are just upmarket dining areas.

No end to comparisons lah

Next thing you know Iskandar commands higher psf than Jalan Sultan Ismail, value of locations change all the time, nothing's permanent

Nope I agree - OCR cannot be closer to CBD.

Rather it is more like CBD diluting and expanding into OCR

Traffic is bad everywhere, not just into CBD
