View Full Version : Waterview (D18, 99-year Leasehold, Sim Lian Group)
Hi Bro .. it cost $690 for both MBR and Common Bathrooms.
Should be okay to request, better quickly give Shirley a call (6303 6163).
I wanted to changed to marble flooring when I knew I can do it(in Aug), but apparently Shirely says too late Liao....:beats-me-man:
Thanks. hopefully we can get more ppl to join the forum. Anybody setting up a group in FB to try to connect every future neighbour? My fren over at "The Canopy" have a FB group. Imagine if we can get the other ~600 neighbour to join..potential benefit:
1) Economy of scale group purchase..imagine 1 TV/1 Washing machine/1refrigerator every unit. Average purchase ~$5k, 600unit = $3M. Hmm much discount do we think we can get ah? :2cents: :scared-1:
2) Renovation....thinking of how to justify this.....
FB group sounds like a good idea

I am thinking of folding doors for the balcony. Remember somebody mentioned in this forum that they have checked with Sim Lian and they said these could not be installed. Anybody know whether we can install after the 2 year period is over? It will be nice to have an extended living area...good for parties and perhaps can have alfresco dining area :))
Hi guys, can you kindly help to share here or PM me Shirley's email and contact number. TIA!

After all the wild guesses and progress, I'll stick to my guns and pick Q1 2014 as the most reasonable and practical time for the place to TOP in proper. Hehe. :D :D :D
I'll stick to Q3 2013 hopefully by End-Sep-13. So that i can hold my birthday celebration there....:ashamed1:
looks like the function rooms will be in huge demands. celebrations must be staggered. :cheers4:

Hi dear all, I am new to the forum. Well, actually not entirely new as I have been diligently keeping track of the various discussion topics. I am about to acquire a unit in stack 23 (sub-sale). Its high floor and my key concerns, perhaps common to most of yours, are safety measures for the balcony as I have young children; and the possibility of integrating balcony space and the living hall space via installation of folding doors. In this regard, I have been following the thread on these two topics.
I strongly suggest we pool the requirement for invisible grills for economy of scale. In fact, we could perhaps ask Sim Lian to look into this after TOP. For the folding doors, my experience with Sim Lian (Stephanie) isnt too forthcoming.... they are not very open to it... I am strongly advocating the folding door as I find the living hall to be rather small...it will be great if both living hall and balcony could be an integrated space.
Sold another 6 units in Sept; median 898psf, balance 37 units left!
94.7% sold.
I suspect I saw one of the new buyers at the nearby reservoir carpark last month, they were holding to the big blue brochure book pointing at Waterview.
Cheers! :D
Welcome to the family!
I agree with your suggestions but likely Sim Lian will maintain the usual stance (as with other developers) to say no until the management committee is transferred out.

Will be a super crowded Tampines Ave 10 in future:
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporebusinessnews/view/1231374/1/.html
SINGAPORE: The government is releasing five residential sites for sale in October 2012.
Together, the five land parcels - which include two executive condominium (EC) sites and three residential sites - will yield about 2,880 units.
In a joint statement, the Housing & Development Board (HDB) and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said this is to provide developers and home-buyers with more choices for private housing.
The site at Bishan Street 14 near the Bishan MRT station and the EC site at Punggol Field Walk/Punggol East will be launched for tender by the HDB under the confirmed list of the second half (H2 2012) Government Land Sales (GLS) programme.
In addition, two residential land parcels at Tampines Avenue 10 will also be made available on Monday for application via the Reserve List.
Meanwhile, the EC site at Sembawang Crescent/Sembawang Drive will be launched for tender under the confirmed list on October 30.

More amenities coming up once population swings up there.:cheers6:
Is this going to turn out to be good news or a bad one? Bedok Reserboir also jam packed then they sold land in Pasir Ris one after another. Now back to Tampines. Oh my...:scared-3: :confused:

Depending on whether we want our place value to up and up? If so, it should be good news to have more amenities around. But traffic will be really tough if all comes on at once.
Btw, started paying my loan already last Friday....:2cents::2cents:

More also means buyer have more options which can drive prices down isn't it? I'm not sure myself but it looks like buyers of the future also have a large pool to choose from. :confused:

Personally feels when the launches takes place, from where I stay, Austville, Riversound, Boathouse, Heron Bay, Riversails pop up one by one, pricing still stays somewhat.
Prepare for 6 million!
I think will be more than that once Singaporeans stop bringing up this topic. Think our PM got say about 6.5-7m.
Hi all! Another neighbout at stack 44. :)
Been following this thread for pretty long too.. haha!
Bought this unit too late hence cant mod much.. only managed to 'insist' on a oven space in the kitchen cabinet with power supply. And.. omission of master's wardrobe.

Still ok kuah. they still haven't rezone the opposite area (Quarry Reservior) to residental yet. Imagine if they do that...:scared-1:
2 JCBs clearing the site opp WV. Looks like launching by year ? Good for WV:cheers4: huat ah!!
What happened to caltex station next to ARC, renovating? Should pull down and built kopitiam instead lah!!

It will be great if there is a wet market+hawker center along tampines avenue 8.....:cheers3:
Don't forget to add a MRT too!
All the properties there will then shoot up by $200 psf? Hahah

It would be even much much more interesting if they reclaim the reservoir and quarry at the same time to create more space for housing. :scared-3:

Got MRT liao. Tampines West. Dun think they will add one more so soon.
Hope that they don't. I'm actually happy with the current setup. 3 bus stop to nearest future MRT...walking distance somemore...of course when it is pouring at the end of the year...we will wish there is an underground exit directly into VW.:p
But a lot of negative vibes due to the bodies...
Then NPARK should install more camera and lightning or lock up the area that is easily accessible to deep water (floating platform). Ppl like to jump into bedok reservior because of the following:
1) Easy to reach, bus,mrt, taxi.
2) Easy to be found
3) No patrol by NPARK or police....
4) Deep water......:scared-1: imagine if they have to walk 500m to reach deep water. i don't think they dare to jump in liao... maybe we should do a study which reservior is the deepest and pray that bedok reservior is not the deepest...
Lastly, NPARK have to consult feng shui master to cure the negative vibes.

I think they changing the orientation of the whole place. Major renovation. This is one of the busiest petrol station tht I hv seen here. Cars in and out non stop. Maybe due to the upcoming housing available in the area, the place will extent further to cater to the needs of the people.
The Caltex business there really good. Hope WV gets the same attention and a small coffee joint too. Hahha. :p
Many of the units now being sold at around 1150psf (subsale). Not bad, TOP still a year to go. Many of the information and agents mentioned Q3-Q4 being the TOP projection.
The workers really work till late. One of the stacks facing quarry already cemented and hence all in grey, no bricks can be seen already. Looks like all th blocks has reached the top!!:D

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum :) My husband and I have bought a unit at WV as well. Not sure of stack no. But its at Blk 81, 9th floor facing the quarry. Anyone has any pictures of the show flats? of the cupboards and wardrobes and flooring? When we contacted Sim Lian they told us no changes to units and all the units have the same color for flooring, cupboards and wardrobes. I had thought we would have 2 choices at least out of which we would be able to choose.
Welcome Shanij
Your stack number would be the last 2 digits of your unit number #09-XX.
We have uploaded quite a number of pictures of the showflat, you can search under my nick or Desquire for the history of postings we uploaded.
Sim Lian is quite standard in their offering across all their developments where all would share similar layout, furnishings (bedroom and bathrooms etc).

Well, the avg psf for WV and Archi already is quite a big diff at about 900psf vs 1100psf, so the higher cost is expected and I think the 2+1 unit at Archi is a loft unit, so the psf is even higher ...

Haha, YUP. I also own Clover By The Park. I told a few people clover will jump like crazy and it did. This is purely a dividend play for me. The upside potential if any will come from feo selling of the condo just a stonea's throw away.

My hubby and I have been following rather closely on the progress of our new home. Oh we can't wait to move in! Our 4 year old son has been bugging us and asking when our 'house' is ready as we are now staying with my parents and he does not like it as much since he had to give up his own room full of toys and bunk with us now. He and his little brother surely need more 'land' to rough out in! The patio would be their private playground :)

Logically Govt would start to build more amenities around there as time goes by, but not sure where they can do it.
The quarry park has alot of potential to be developed into some new nature theme park. Of course have to wait long long to come. Now the Govt is focusing efforts on Punggol and Jurong Lake. :)

Don't worry. SG land is small. Where can develop will develop. But more focus will be on sustainable development.. People love greens, parks, water bodies, MRT... think along this line..

I think FEO has the answer to our questions. The Quarry park has many potential to help promote healthy lifestyle and family bonding. With an LRT, the place will be transformed into a fantastic park. ;)

I purchased for own stay. Hence, the 5year deadline is not applicable tohheheHehheheh. I merely purchased cause of what it has to offer at the moment. MRT is secondary in my list. More of the serenity of the location and I'm just staying a stone throw's away anyway. So, might as well.
If its not for the stack and layout, I would have passed it. The only reason I could see myself selling the place is due to financial issues and space. Otherwise, I think it's a beautiful place.
You're funny. You also buy leh. Hahhahahaah!!:D
OIC, then should be 4 years. She added additional year on her own. Hahaha. Btw, should be less now as many already holding more then 1 year Liao. Hahahaha

I not leh, I 16,12,8,4. Hahaha.
But I not worried leh. Why, u may wonder. I kanna 40% down. And I renting out to UWC parents and kid/s. but waterview so inexpensive and rental from tropica is also quite good. So if I rent out 3.5k, I still got extra pocket money coming to me to drink Starbucks everyday.
I don't own tropica, I use their rental as benchmark.

Rental or own stay depends on whether I can endure the nearby ongoing construction... But fengshui there quite gd for own stay though

But I not worried leh. Why, u may wonder. I kanna 40% down. And I renting out to UWC parents and kid/s. but waterview so inexpensive and rental from tropica is also quite good. So if I rent out 3.5k, I still got extra pocket money coming to me to drink Starbucks everyday.
I don't own tropica, I use their rental as benchmark.
Joycewangwen is a guy , met him and his wife and, also Sis Eastlover and her hubby at the showflat last year (or last last year?? haha time flies) when we arranged with SL to view the marble tile. :D
OIC, then should be 4 years. She added additional year on her own. Hahaha. Btw, should be less now as many already holding more then 1 year Liao. Hahahaha
Oic... Mine is now 1%...
Yah fully agree on the "so inexpensive"
Rental or own stay depends on whether I can endure the nearby ongoing construction... But fengshui there quite gd for own stay though
But construction will be far away. So not affected wat?
Tis one got chance to go up. But the rental is fine for me. To me, minimal downside. If have upside, then bonus. :cheers3:
I hooted the unit in Nov 2010. Means 2yrs now. So that means a year after TOP I cab sell without any penalty? I also dunno. Haha. :beats-me-man:

Aiya, u kanna 3/2/1. So after nov 2011 - kana 2%, after nov 2012 kana 1%, after nov 2013 - no more SSD. The SSD is so low, so don't bother lah. Commission to sell already 1%.
You buying to stay rite. Just enjoy lor. I find Sim Lian project is value for money and they config like hdb. Space utilization very solid. I also have clover by the park and the config for 1206sq ft really like old 5 room hdb. Really solid. Very squarish. Sim Lian tends to sell 'cheap' because they want to clear fast. And their marketing sucks big time. But as buyers, u save on the marketing, or lack of it.

Bro Kengar, I think that looks like the 50m lap pool..till todate, i am still wondering how they calculate the 50m...circumference? diameter? if circumference, i would need to swim ROUND the pool....never swam in circle before.hee
From the angle, it appears Sis Eastlover took from the Tropica block infront of the WV clubhouse, hence the pool under construction would be the kids pool. Notice the angle of the tower on the photo match that of the site plan.

Based on Sim Lians' signboard outside WV for TOP 3Q 13, looks about right though i.e. another 12 months of work to completion... Wouldn't want them to rush too. Most important is deliver good workmanship of basic fittings and fixtures with minimal defects, for us to have a wonderful Xmas 13. :cheers5:

Greeting the arrival of 2013, we will be launching another exciting residential project in a joint effort with FEO and Sekisui House. Located at the corner of Tampines Ave 1 and 10, the development is slated to inspire lives by its close proximity to the tranquil body of water at Tampines Quarry Park, as well as its excellent location close to the Tampines Regional Centre.
Comprising of over 620 units, this new development is positioned to offer a varied choice of housing options to cater to different needs. Watch out for some new and innovative lifestyle options that will surely woo the most discerning homebuyer.

From the message its pretty clear FEO hold the ace card in thir hands. They know what the area wilkbe tansformed into in future.
So our guess of the potential on that end part of Tampines is quite clear. They doing something interesting over at the location.

I understand that FE site opposite Waterview will have eight Blocks of 15storeys and over 600 units. Not sure info accurate. Based on the size of the condo site, it will be congested and curious to know how the layout would be.
Do any one know where are the lifts located in Waterview? I forgot to ask but understand two lifts serving every floor. Are they side by side or facing each other?

Brisk walk 12 mins, have timed this couple of times. Have been walking back from Bedok Interchange to Aquarius 2 days a week after work on my work days with my backpack, a good 40 mins leisurely pace, very refreshing ...
Of course, not everyone's cup of tea. But Waterview of QBay to Tampines West Stn in the evening, should be quite pleasant when Temsek Poly finsihed up all its ongoing works around the driveways. :sleep:

Ya, it's not impossible to walk just quite a distance at 1.3km (on onemap). I would personally take a bus but if you walk from Bedok Interchange to Aquarius, then this will be chicken feet if it's good weather. ;)

OIC. Cannot yet la. My kids still need a big place. My current dwelling 2,000 sq ft. If I shift there, I will bump into my kids at every corner and my dog will have no place to move around. Hahaha.
I actually was looking at 2.4k sq ft but gave up after a while.
Most likely will shift to smaller unit 7 years after I retire in about 1-2 year time.
But WV is a good place for me to shift to lah.... At least I can get more money from my Clover by the Park. That one rental shiok.
I got the 3+1 config. 1109 sq ft. Amazed how they squeezed so much into such a small floor area. My CBTP is 1206 sq ft super high floor.
Me at stack 19. So master bedroom can see bedok reservoir. No fear of west sun for me as I am an air-con man.
When TOP, we should meet lah... Celebrate the occasion.:cheers5::cheers5:

Sis, I quite happy with my 2k unit in Pasir Panjang already. I actually bot my neighbours unit opposite mine. I was supposed to move in with my wife and mum and let my kids stay in current unit. Then my mum decided to move out? What a joke. So that unit rented out. That unit also 2k. I just bot it 1 year ago.
I was looking at the coast at Sentosa but so happen my neighbour decided to sell and I bot w/o telling telling them I am the buyer. If not surely mark up like crazy. That one already up 200K. But rental damn siong for 4 bedder. Not worth it. Only looking at capital gain. But Pasir Panjang going to be hot with a few more projects coming out - like village, etc...
Oops, too much mentioned liao....

Wow nut-bro .. so much personal info here...
Yeah The Coast is v nice and is my fave project in Sentosa ... I find the sea facing balconies v nice but overall i think the project is very 'transparent' .. esp at night anyone driving or strolling along the road in front can get a complete view of the interior. The Berth is less 'glassy' so enjoys more privacy. Azure is directly next to the sea, so even more privacy.
The Caltex station opp WV will be reopening soon? Mabbe will have an even bigger mart to cater to the influx of residents in the area =)
Too much info hor?? Alot and yet cannot decipher....
But OK for me lah.... I quite use to it lah.... (this statement very deep - see if you can catch it... Hahahaha) If you u catch it, I buy u coffee..

I am also wary of how I speak as I may pass off as being too arrogant and full of myself. But, people who know me do know I mean well.

Bro, for own stay, really must have "feelings" involved. It must be like love at first sight. Everything must be rite. Near kids school, near office, near something you like, be it sea, crowd, non-crowd, etc....
For me, investment property buying is so much easier, but when it comes to home, wife must like, kids must like, if not got problem at home. But thats just me....
Investment, no sweat. When I bot Gardens at Bishan, I went in to take a look at the place, I nearly fainted !!! But this is personal opinion, no harm intended on Gardens. My wife asked, are you sure u want to buy, so gloomy leh. I told her, whats our goal. Make money rite, then leave it to me. Bought below 900K, rented out for 3.5K. Sold recently for some profits. Wanted to rent somemore but my agent champion. Found me an offer I couldn't refuse. Set a benchmark there.
Good luck in your dream home.:cheers5:

There was an earlier thread asking along the line who is your fave in condosingapore forum. I didnt comment on that, but now i must say Bro Chestnut is my fave.
Yeah, through his postings we get to know he owns many properties and earns big bucks ... Not sure how others feel, but to me, it was quite clear that he wasnt here to boast but to share his knowledge quoting his personal experiences etc.
And most imptly, I could even sense his compassion through his postings *respect*

Bro, thanks... I really am not a boaster cock. If you meet me in person, you will feel my sincerity.... To me, the forum allows for some to boost their ego. It is like an alter ego state. I really dont need it here. There really are many people in real life that boost this part and I really have no lack of it.
I just share whatever I have. To me, it is like national service. Give back to people and hope that they will succeed. My firm believe is, you must work for yourself smart and hard in the early years. Earn big bucks, then buying will never be a problem. Learn skills which others dont have. Imagine if you can save 200K per year. Every 2 years, you can buy a condo right??? Dare to dream my friend... It is indeed possible, you just need to know where to find it. Be up the pinnacle early and you save like crazy and you will be rewarded in future. But you will need to give up something to achieve that. What is this something??? Health, family time, some principles (but u must have ob markers to always guide you. If it drifts too far, stay within the ob markers).
I really can sense there are really capable people here.
I always tell my people - What is your objective. You MUST HAVE AN OBJECTIVE.
It is like waking up and saying, I want to go Jurong. Then you can map it out. But if you wake up and say, I want to go out, too much time is spent trying to figure out where to go....
So guys - Objective !!!! Set a goal and aim towards it. And lastly, always think positive. Nobody wants to be close to a negative person. So in times of trouble, still keep your chin up and think positive. There will always be a solution to a problem/issue.
Cheers !!!!

Bro, thanks... I really am not a boaster cock. If you meet me in person, you will feel my sincerity.... To me, the forum allows for some to boost their ego. It is like an alter ego state. I really dont need it here. There really are many people in real life that boost this part and I really have no lack of it.
I just share whatever I have. To me, it is like national service. Give back to people and hope that they will succeed. My firm believe is, you must work for yourself smart and hard in the early years. Earn big bucks, then buying will never be a problem. Learn skills which others dont have. Imagine if you can save 200K per year. Every 2 years, you can buy a condo right??? Dare to dream my friend... It is indeed possible, you just need to know where to find it. Be up the pinnacle early and you save like crazy and you will be rewarded in future. But you will need to give up something to achieve that. What is this something??? Health, family time, some principles (but u must have ob markers to always guide you. If it drifts too far, stay within the ob markers).
I really can sense there are really capable people here.
I always tell my people - What is your objective. You MUST HAVE AN OBJECTIVE.
It is like waking up and saying, I want to go Jurong. Then you can map it out. But if you wake up and say, I want to go out, too much time is spent trying to figure out where to go....
So guys - Objective !!!! Set a goal and aim towards it. And lastly, always think positive. Nobody wants to be close to a negative person. So in times of trouble, still keep your chin up and think positive. There will always be a solution to a problem/issue.
Cheers !!!!

Friendly East Club :D our dear WV membership ;)
for big big space, must look for old project lah. how about the pebble bay we discussed in QBay? big, nice, near city and quiet, and.... expensive :D
EL Sis . ... Pebble Bay may seem near to the city but its actually separated from it by a huge water body. How I wish they build a linking bridge over, but unfortunately the residents would need to drive a big loop in order to reach the city ie. either by stadium blvd then nicoll highway, or drive eastwards to Fort Rd then ECP to city. You get the so-near-yet-so-far feeling.....
Stadium MRT is abt 8min's walk, and just a few stops to the MBFC though.

LOLz... dont like that la, actually still have many ang mohs and more and more koreans/japs families these days. I hardly see any locals...
WV would be a good choice for own stay la, at least a large percentage of the neighbours will still be locals. The nearby reservoir park would be ideal for young kids and old folks to get in touch with the nature. If drive, Giant, Ikea and Sinflora is just a few mins' drive away.
So Roly8 ... go for WV =)

just in case i am out of job...still got some backup plan..:o
do you think interest rate will be 1% for next 10 years?

We haven't visited Paris one yet, last time we visited Paris, my boy too young. In fact I was thinking if we should go Paris Disney in near future, to make it complete :D a bit childish or not? :ashamed1:

Agree with you, Sis. Did you stay at in Disney itself? Cos we didn't so travel time cost us a bit hence We didn't managed to cover the whole area :D
Think they are still expanding cos Disney bought the entire area on the cheap, think by the time they finished it will be double the size now, it's what I heard.:scared-4:

Bro, theme park must always add new attractions, then there will be repeat customers. So the theme park will grow and grow and grow.
Animal kingdom is the memorable one because none of the other Disney has it. Quite a different experience. To go US, really need AA card to get all the discounts,
So where u stayed in orland? I stayed in something like a bungalow. Florida was so much cheaper then NY. But I really enjoyed NY.
Actually, I do go US a lot for my biz trip and each state is so unique. Oops. Better stop here.

Yes, NY is really one a kind states in the world that give you that feeling.

Yes we stayed in Disney for 6 nights. Initially we wanted to stay in bungalow also, but last mins my friend's daughter back from her 6-mth disney intership stopped us, and highly recommended us to stay inside Disney. She told us it would waste too much time if you stay outside and don't drive.
we enjoyed several extra magical hours - magic kingdom open till 2AM, epcot till 12AM. my boy was so exicted to play at 1AM in Disney, insisted to try all those 无聊 rides, regardless how spleey two of us were:D
End result was: when we went to universal studio on the last day, none of us could wake up early. After our good lunch in Bubba Shrimp, we only arrived there around 2:30PM :p after big shopping in Harry Porter, the energy left only allowed us to take simple ride, so we tried dispensable me, simpson family, and Spider Man hahaha.
Studio closed at 7PM, end up we took taxi to outlet to buy Choach bags hahaha :D
I think we have to allocate at least 6-7 full days in Oralando. one day just for re-charging - shopping in outlet, Downtown Disney, or even international drive. otherwise, after 2-3 days non-stop theme parking, one will easily run out of energy... :(

Apologies on my behalf if thats how it wss interpreted. It wasn't meant to be that way.
What I meant was that most of the units left over, majority if not all are those with quarry view or they now so called labelled as lake view. Honestly, I've seen the view taken from one of the agents. I can tell you it's beautiful!!!
Even the reservoir facing units will apparently have a fair share of the sun but on good cool days, the view is unbeatable... be it reservoir or quarry (those sea facing units being an exception). Hehehe.

Did you guys see this???
http://www.ura.gov.sg/sales/Tampinesav10C/tenderdocs/Tpines10C-LPnCP.pdf
Wah, so many land for sales in future????
Zeemybro, you went to the site??? Let you in on a secret(now I say, it is no longer a secret, hahaha).
I bot this for just under a mil in 2011 after I sold away Botannia. The joke again is my agent found me a new record price for Botannia - this guy keeps giving me nice headache. (I actually wanted to rent out Botannia). After I sold Botannia for a nice profit, I still wanted to stay vested. So I bot WV. The expected gross yield would be just nice. The downpayment was paid for by my sale of Botannia with surplus in my account somemore.
So the beauty is,
1. I get to cash out my down payment for Botannia and put it in the bank.
2. The profit from the sale + rental of Botannia was used to make the downpayment. Leaving me with a little surplus.
3. With a 40% down, whatever rental from WV minus (mortgage+miscellaneous, maintenance, etc...), I will still have surplus from that.
4. Even if rental drops, because of my 40% down, I will not be negative right??? Even if negative, it is minimal... Hahaha
So, I bot this house with virtually no money (sort of that is). Got my logic????
I have mitigated my risk for this deal !!!!
This is just one option that you guys can explore. My mind is very complex.... Some deals take risk, some deals play safe, etc....
This unit to me is super safe... Hahaha.
I only sold 2 units so far. I am really an investor... Not a trader... Property is my "forte" but I am now moving over to other investment areas... Enough of props for me... But, again, NEVER SAY NEVER. If a good deal comes along, I will still strike....:cheers4::cheers4:
:cheers1::cheers1::cheers1:
GLS sites all residential... Then the future development site behind parcel B, C, D leh? If all condo then it's too crowded, not good at all :banghead:
Bro, is this how you read it????
I will only know after parcel B and C. You will get the bigger pix only after the launch of QBay. I seriously think even QBay launch at 900, Waterview being at a more prime location, will fetch better price.
But seriously, I am in for the yield because I am aiming for retirement. Capital is a bonus, but I kanna lock in for 4 yrs, so no difference to me. I really went in for the yield for this. It is so "inexpensive".

But hor, I like peace n quiet one, now there got so many plot for future development so they keep building n building, willbe v noisy n very crowded, and now I must start to think of when to sell WV cos after site a, b, c, d, will still have e, f, g, h, i lei :banghead: By the time mayb d completed, WV abit old le, if it's too noisy as my retirement home then I will have to sell it Haiz

Those pure investment prop in my opinion must b convenient with at least mrt, better still mrt & mall that's <5mins away. So if I cannot retire there, need to think of plan B
I'm in for yield mayb for 1st 5-7yrs, but I bot the place think its a quiet area for retirement (no need to b near mrt etc, retire got a lot of time to travel around the island)
But hor, I like peace n quiet one, now there got so many plot for future development so they keep building n building, willbe v noisy n very crowded, and now I must start to think of when to sell WV cos after site a, b, c, d, will still have e, f, g, h, i lei :banghead: By the time mayb d completed, WV abit old le, if it's too noisy as my retirement home then I will have to sell it Haiz

Goodness gracious. From which location exactly did you depress that little machine of yours? The angle is perfect and the quality of the image is beyond description. Sim Lian should engage you to be their official photographer. Still never too late for them.
The best of a series of images Waterview ever had. Makes the place looks so stunning and desirable. Fantastic shot from a professional photohapher with a great camera slung over your neck.
Phew! It's really breathtaking. Im salivating myself. I believe you can even make a tiny green frog metamorphosise into prince charming.
I take my hats off man!! Thanks so much for sharing such lovely pictures with us all. :D

Apparently, when I talk short walks and stop over at times to sneak a peek at our stack, I'm always wondering if what I think the view will be like will be exactly what will furnish my blinking pupil in about a year's time.
I hope our stack will not turn out to be a disappointment...:hell-hath-no-fury:

Hahaha, some time wishing I was as fast as east lover and kengar getting those front stacks but I was already quite lucky. My place is the last two of our stack. They claim is reserved that time.
For a place to stay, think good neighbors like ours is blessed too, hopefully don't say too soon, hahaha.....:scared-3:
Well it was a nerve wrecking experience to make a $1M purchase decision over that few days during VVIP... somemore first time buying a condo ... thinking back it was pretty scary and probably i wont have that kind of guts again :p

Same same here, well, I think out bet pays off well. I guess things are like that, go with our guts sometimes. If FEO sells above $1k like what chestnut says, then all of us will feel even high, strike 1st price. Hahahaha....:2cents: :2cents:

You're already very fast. Hehe. When I was there on the first day which was on a Saturday, there's still some front runners available but I didn't just jump into it. Went home and did some study on the plan.
Cannot play play bro. This one cant just buy and dispose especially when it's for own stay.
It involve millions. My pocket not deep hence can't make a wrong move. So decided that the stack will be best although it wasn't the first-class premium stack as launched.
Pool and pocket reservoir view hopefully won't go wrong. I've tried to view based on map and plan but dying to get in there and have the real thing. Nothing beats the real thing.
If I'm checkmated, I'm dead meat. Sayonara!! Hahhaha. :p

Same nightmare for me bro. Worst than nightmare on Elm's Street. I woke up with cold sweat for the next two months with Jason under my bed on Fridays. No joke.
I shiver when the weather is so very hot. Scratching my dead when there's no lice. Now, I still get some bad dreams once in a while.
Pretty scary isn't it? My whole life is dumped on it. I nearly melted when I got to donate the stamp fee. Almost fainted! It's all my wife's eye-deer, myself being happy in my HDB. For now just crossing my fingers for now.
I hope it wont be Nightmare Before Christmas 2013!!!:hell-hath-no-fury:

My HDB is right in front of the UWC so prolly try t get it rented out. New place rent out heart pain. It's more for home stay...

Bro, OK... Can you do yourself a favour. Please work out a sheet something like this.
HDB
Monthly mortgage : (using CPF)
Conservancy charges :
Monthly expected rental :
Net income : Monthly rental - conservancy charges (assuming you use full CPF)
So if rental is 2K, you should get 2K income (let's ignore conservancy since it is so low)
WV
Monthly mortgage : Can u use CPF from wifey???If yes, just use.
You may wind up with surplus my friend.
So please sleep peacefully.... Not break out in a cold sweat.... Welcome to wealth creation. You will find in less then 10 years, you are so rich. Hahahaha...:cheers4:
Another thing, u guys seem to be so concern about pricing of QBay. Today, I will do an analysis for you.
Bid price for land
WV land price is 421 psf ppr
QBay land price is 416 psf ppr
WV was launched Nov 2010 (correct me if I am wrong). That was 2 years ago. Would the cost of build have gone up with inflation??? Didnt material cost go up????
2. Sim Lian is a contractor, so there is no mark up for contracting work(get quote from 3rd party mark-up - thats wat I mean). It is pure profit for them. When FEO and FCL wants to build, they need to get bids for building. This contractors will need to mark up for profit and pass it to them. So the mark up say is 10%, the cost of building would have already gone up.
Bottomline is, I am expecting the price of QBay to be higher then WV, but there is always a disclaimer. Wat if they kee seow??? and quote cheap. But at the end of the day, the very most is they sell at same price as WV launch price. No way they can undercut WV launch price (this I am 80% sure). You see, life is never sure. You just have to play the odds.
So relax guys and watch the show unfold. You wont lose money with WV.

Bro, if they price just under 1K, the project can sell faster.
If they price high, they need to do super marketing lor. If they move 60%, they happy liao. Then the rest slowly move lor....
For me, I really bo chup anymore. Just collecting rental and storing it in my bank.
I just sharing because I feel so sad that people buy a home and get so worried... So really just give them some calmness with the analysis.
But really, Desquire and the rest really dont have an issue. The days of the big run is over... We need to accept it and move on.... Dont think of making big bucks now a days. The govt implement CM for a reason. What they want, they 95% of the time achieve.

actually no need to worry so much, b4 developers bid they sure got do feasibility study one, no buyer they more scared than us lei
if i remember correct, the Qbay site few bids but other than FE got another bidder small-time but do high-end project one; they must have reason to put bid
also, i checked 08 master plan b4, the plot ratio for a, b, c, d, e etc etc higher than WV. so for Qbay, if those facing WV units they build higher, got view one
if u guys free, just join the vvip preview loh, go look see look see, can tcss there & in case of poor turn out we can go pump up the nos & eat all the buffet food (if got lah) :hungry: :eating-burger:

Bro, paiseh, a few lah.... Mainly RCR.... Some of my RCR going to take off shortly - in prices that is... But useless to me... I bot for my retirement fund. I still monitoring the market after all, it is an investment rite.The rental will provide steady income.
My theory (I have a lot) :
When recession, rental drop rite? So does cost cost of living...
When economy good, rental increase rite? So does cost of living...
So it is purely hedging in a very simplistic way. But you need to have $$$ to take advantage of opportunities during any occasion.

no problem bro... if got any good recommendation, pls share share...
Bro, I off the market already.... But if you seriously want to be in, look at
1. Land bid prices for the area
2. Compare current selling price of existing condo in the area.
That is the last bit of meat left.... All the big bucks already over.... With CM, it is a controlled price increase which needs to be acceptable to the Govt. If it exceeds the increase, another CM will take place. So dont expect quantum leap on prices. How much is acceptable to the govt, I dont know but I presume less then 5% per annum. I really dont know.
Give you a clue but enter at your own risk... Prince Charles bid came in, work out the break-even price and estimate the margin for that. Margins can be taken from past project of the developer. In this case, it is Wing Tai. Check out the margin for Ascentia Sky. and add it in and you will have a rough estimate of the potential selling price of Prince Charles condo site.
Now compare Metropolitan, AS. Yes, Metropolitan has gone up a lot since its launch. But is there meat left??? You need to do your own homework on the psf for Metro and AS. I am now not in touch.
Echelon by CDL will be launching soon. Again, you can get the land bid price and estimate the launch price. Compare current Metro and AS with Echelon's potential/predicted sell price and see if there is meat.
Bro, at this stage, there are uncertainties in the world and I really dont know your $$$ power. So I really cannot advise and neither do I want to. I just share share and TCSS. Take what you like from what I share and implement it in your strategy. If there is none you like, just ignore. I mean it. Not everyone will agree with my strategies. But my hit rate quite high. Not everyone will strike it rite. If everyone strike, I quit my job and do this for a living. Hahahaha
How many units you have??? If cannot say, I understand.....
But now, all investment is long term... There is actually another way but inconvenient to post here in forum....
Happy investing :
:cheers4::cheers4::cheers4::cheers4:
really eye opener. i think metropolitan and AS will fetch good rental but i wont bet based on capital gain on any properties. rental yield is best bet..
i was thinking of a studio for renting only...presently hv 3 but some not TOP yet.
again , now still in stock market

Bro, I have more then you... Got my first investment unit about 18 years ago. So I have seen the ups and downs of the property cycle.... I was also caught in the 1997 crisis. The 1 I bot in 1997 is currently way above the buy price today... Bro, on paper during the lowest point - I was down 600K. So I am always puzzled when people say thos bot at peak still suffering with losses if they sell today. But when I ask them which condo???? They mumble, mumble their way out. I give up :doh::doh::doh::doh:
Bro, sorri, I dont own any studio nor 2 bedder. But I tell you, go 4 bedder and above, your rental yield sucks big time !!!! I know !!!!!
why 4 bedders ?
i don't hv mm/studio.
why 4 bedders ?
i don't hv mm/studio.
Bro, what I meant is, if you go 4 bedder, rental yield sucks big time. The ones in my opinion for best buck is 1 bedder and 2 bedder... As you move up, the rental yield in % drops...
Mine is 3 and 4 bedders... AMK knows why mine is this size.
:cheers4::cheers4:
bro, i think are elder by half of my age. Bravo to you ! if my elder has your mentality, i wld be huat..
in 97 , did bank ask you to top up the $600k difference ? i just finished study at the time, earning peanut compare to many youngsters now. i got to know a friend's friend who were in the same situation. His pasir panjang condo was down by 300k , bought at 800k went to 500k . Everyday go to work with purple face and co. also announced "chopping" so he also waiting for his turn. i can understand his feeling but i know that i need to get in to this biz already but working hard to save..till 2000.
u owned 4 bedder is it because it was cheap at the time ?? :cheers6:

imo, big units best hoot during down periods because these are the ones which the psf will drop the most from what I observe and besides now the larger the units, the rental for them cannot be on par with 1/2 or smaller size units. Buy big units during downturn then sell big during bull market sure huat like no biz, even a small margin of psf gain easily a few hundred ks of profit

I am a few years shy of 50. Will retire before 50.
No top up at all. So many of the stories are rumours which became "fact" after being spun many times. They will ask for top up if you cannot pay mortgage. You see, if the banks ask for top up from underwater units, many will be affected and it will tailspin beyond control. What the banks are worried about is you dont make your obligations to pay monthly.
Your friends place is worth more than 800K today. Way more if it is Pasir Panjang.
4 bedders are never cheap. Everything is about relativity....
You have 3 units, so it is already a big accomplishment. Bro, dont use me as an example. I was very fortunate to be at the right place at the right time. Our batch was one of the last few that had teh opportunity to make it. The other batch was the working class at the 30 age zone that caught the 1998 to 2006 period. They would have bot because they needed a home. Right time, right place.
bro,
u are right, i belong to the other class that you just mentioned. still the wave came fast and furious, it caught me out many times. I saw a little queue at the time at The Sail launch but did not walk into it as already paid for another home.
i believed my class also has the privilege of getting cheap COE. I got it twice, 1st car and 2nd car. so i hope the cycle can be repeated in my 3rd car...hahaa or i just quit driving.:simmering:

Bro, I share with you another strategy. But this one quite cheem....
1. During down time, do upgrade. That means sell your small unit and buy a big unit. Because the differential is small. Right???
2. During good time, do a downgrade. So when the market takes a dive, you can go in to 1. Then repeat again 2, then 1, then 2.
Doing 1 is easy... During downturn. when all is gloomy, you will know.... But u need balls made of steel... and lots of $$$, so you are not afraid of your losing the job.
2 is the tough 1. You may think it is high, you sell, then scully, it climb even higher. But there are tell tale signs..... You will not be lose if you have multiple unit. So it is abit like averaging...
Digest this theory.
:cheers4::cheers4::cheers4:
Bro, count yourself very lucky... Born at the right time is very important. I really pity those 30 something who got caught in the 1995-1997 era. This group suffered man.
After buying matrimonial home, suddenly, down 200K... How to think of buying another prop???

When you make a mistake, bro, learn from it and be wiser. Find out what went wrong. Improve and you will be a better man. Dont follow the crowd and say, too dangerous. Learn from my mistake and never dabble in this again. This applies to work, investment, love, etc.... Mistakes are required to make 1 wiser. Mistakes are not meant to make 1 give up.

Exactly these 2 theories are what I figured out during the 09, even caspian buy super large unit, the psf chiong only a few hundred bucks can easily net half a mil. For part 1, I think is really adjusting your budget if price is of concern. If cannot afford D9 large unit then go for cheaper OCR or RCR. In gd times, almost every region chiong up together. For part 2, yes I would probably sell the large unit to take profit, and deleverage into smaller units mainly with higher yield or find gems in other areas [afterall sell high also buy high]

Bro, at high price, example :
You sell 2k sq ft unit @ 2Mil, you buy 1k sq ft unit @ 1.1 mil
Market turn - prices drop 20% example (u put in your own figure).
If you had held the 2k sq ft, your losses would be 400K, and the 1k sq ft, the losses will be 220k. So loss less, right??? Then with your buffer, you can go in and get back a 2k sq ft @ 1.6 mil.
This is just theory only lah..... Implementation requires $$$ and balls.
Another scenario, if the prices still continue to go up and you read wrongly, your other units which u didnt downgrade, still go up in value what. Because u still vested... I hope not so complicated to people.
Easier if I talk in person, but its not gonna happen.

Well done my friend. To me , a recession is like a famine in the animal kingdom. The outcome of the famine is - the weak animals will disappear from the earth and the strong will survive.
So the recession will weed out the weak and the strong will prevail. Please do look at it factually and not in a negative way.
So whoever survived a recession will come out stronger.
Well done
