Bro, last time buy cheap la. If now buy maybe cannot afford. Serangoon Gdns area; about 2k houses in this estate. so far from what i see around here, majority is 999 yrs, small land unit single storey old ( need to A&A ) going for about $650-$700 psf. Many smaller houses are 1840 or about 2k sqft type land area.
Actually in this estate, majority of house in the lower range are of land area type:
1. 1840 sqft
2. 2200 sqft
3. 2800 sqft
House of these 3 types land area probably make up 75% of all houses in the estate. Think last time British, just cut the plots along the various land, and leave 1-2 house each lane with slightly bigger or smaller. Quite standard and organised..i must say.
Last year during crisis time, 1840sft land area single storey, selling about $800k only, regret din buy another. Now same house, have to pay like $1.4mil - S$1.5mil. My neighbour down the road, his relative bought such a house, now laughing away...
Actually, at 1 time, Foreign Workers Dorm was a BIG issue at an old secondary school at the fringe - next to CTE, protests and all, finally government build that $2mil slip road from AMK Ave 1, reduce no. of workers staying there to below 1k now, no ISSUE now, did not even see them in the estate. Think they quite poor thing, because the $2mil slip road is quite a walk from the AMK1 Ave 1. think at least 1km..., they can't enter into Serangoon Gdns estate directly beside landed houses. Kinda cordon off...
