It will only go up after more is done to do up these areas. Good stepping stone for those with less cash to get into the investment spirit! :p

Those who bought Quartz in 2007/8 really happy man! 2 years and their home prices have soared. Those who bought Compass Ht took 10+years! :doh: Those who bought H2O and the many ECs nearby will find further wave of price appreciation when the nearby long kang is done up by PUB. Just noticed that a land parcel opposite H2O is put up for sale le... really many land sales by govt! :D

Should be double Deck. Been ages since I viewed FAR EAST unsold unit.

Floor plans are here..

http://www.yishunhomes.sg/condominiums/orchid-park/

No roof terraces and only Balcony.

Views are exactly what you will get as the Estuary (Same direction/facing units only).

Special offer special offer.

Actually I find that Yew Tee area is a bit below the radar.
Most buyers looking around the north-west area would automatically zero into Bkt Panjang or CCK, iso of surrounding Yew Tee MRT area - which I think has some good points of its own - not just lower pricing! :)

I passed by recently and saw a lot of land being cleared opposite the railway tracks, along the hilly area... someone said its supposed to be some MRT depot or something?

Anyone know any big plans for this area?

Like to confirm if the following still valid? Copy from another forum..

does banks give 90% loan of the property?

How to calculate stamp fees?


For purchase a resale condo here is the deal
1) 1% of the purchase price by cheque under the owner name. Ask yr agent to provides u document proof of the owner details. Yr agent will furnish u a copy of Offer to purchase.
2) Once the owner accept yr offer, yr agent will provides u a document called Option of Purchase. Another cheque is require of 4% of the purchase price.
3) Yr banker will get u a lawyer to coordinate the legal issues etc.
In sort, cash involved are 1% + 4% + Stamp Duty (u need to pay upfront but will reimburse after the deal is approved by CPF)
bal 15%(using CPF).

The above is based on 80% loan approval by the bank. For yr case is 1% + 4% + Stamp Duty (cash) and balance 5% by CPF.

If cannot beat the exterior, do up the interior.

Owner should move out first.

Then get ID to decorate the home starting with tiolets and kitchen

Max the view and give really nice curtains, fully renovated (without furnitures) unit should do it.

Good luck.

nice views but wasted lor....

old design leh....living rm balcony concrete....block the nice view lor....and den bedrooms all half height windows....block the view too:tsk-tsk:

pay 650psf....probably spend 50psf to renovate and become 700psf....plus lease decay ....plus old old common areas and lift etc.....better deal compared to miltionia 4bedder penthse at 1.6mil?:rolleyes:

Yup, that is the problem.. somemore the orchid stamp there with gaps or holes to peek out.. If only it is full height windows.

This is a different game here.. mainly for self stay folks who like cheap space. If it is cheap enough, there will still be buyers.

The trick is to pay for equivlent 3 bedders below plus a slight premium to make the owner happy. I know this is on the market for a really really long time. Sorry owners if u r reading this. I know.

This could win on rental if you can find tenants.

Seriously, miltonia residence at 1.6 million is better than this one but only if the plot 2.1 behind are priced high enough. Otherwise, the Estuary or the 2.1 is a winner over this.

I think $1 million might close, try hard bargaining. If u free, go look under #11-04, weird pricing in 07.

haha... anyway, give him a little privacy.

Recalled that I said this is a good candidate for enblock since the conditions are so?

However, you need to give it another 5 to 10 years to let it rot further to get cheapest price.
