View Full Version : Parc Vera - New Riverfront Condo @ Hougang - Sim Lian Group
Not disputing the good price tag for Parc V. Was at showflat last year but did not give cheque coz of location. So does SL know something we don't therefore they are holding back the remaining units? :47:
Its too cheap. The second phase launch will up price.
Singapore property buyers are very practical. WT so exp but snapped up like fish in the fresh market while Parc V is cheap but left in the cold just coz its location is not desirable. It'll be interesting to do a survey on those who bought WT for homestay to see how many actually drive? Conduct that same survey for Parc V buyers... :rolleyes:
WT makes other already launched condo look cheap....most staying in condo will drive, be it near for far from condo, IMHO

Yup, single floor 4bdr sold out. But heard 4 bdr PH still available...
Noticed that 4 bedders are actually quite hot for several projects... MM for investment (plus some own stay) while 4 bedders should be primarily for own stay lah.. Hmmm... govt keep encouraging citizens to procreate but developers always don't build many 4 bedders... should detect that demands for 4 bedders will only go up... :)

i am interested in the 4/5 bdr PH but not sure if the price is good, after reading about the location etc. 6 bdr PH is out as I am afraid later cannot sell.
There is a true demand for affordable 4 bedders for upgraders. There are no more new hdb with 4bedrooms. Only EC and PC now build new 4 bedroom units.
A typical family with 3 children + 1 maid will require a 4 bedroom unit for comfortable living.

I remembered the agent was telling me the PH are ard $6xx psf, so sounds very cheap in that sense. But not sure on the absolute quantum for a 4/5 bdr. maybe can call them and check it out? {I should ask them for commission, lol}

Not sure what you mean by equal, but the agent who served me was really raw... until his boss take over, then I feel better.
PM you his boss number alreay :) if you buy, must ask her to give me commission and I share with you... LOL

I went yesterday and was surprised that there was only a handful of viewers. I guess most have been diverted to the mutliple new launches or sidelined waiting for the glut to happen.
looks like parc vera wave already gone, or due to no new unit launch?

3702Come and join us for Easter Carnival next weekend.
Maybe soon their will give another 5% discount to clear off units like Minton? :rolleyes:
If you want to bet on the Hougang Megamall coming up in a few years, then the price of this one is a steal now and best is there is no competition and you can choose good facing/high floor units (It's like 55% sold only).
But the high floor units here all got visual restriction fins to block your view one....:tsk-tsk:
Yea, this will be pretty far from the mall. The amount of time u take may be able to reach Nex by bus.
You sure about this?
Based on what the agent told me :beats-me-man: . Anyway when i was they were in the process of redoing the 4 bed showflat to ether 2 or 2+ study.
most of the 3 bed were going for abt 850+/- psf.
Think if there is a further discount to about 800 psf the units will be flying off the shelf.:2cents:
Will SL give further discount??? Unlikely, right?
Maybe if they get desperate? :beats-me-man: But then again they may get the spillover buyers in this vicinity

I will cry if they do... somehow, doing the "early birds" a dis-service, right? :(

If developer already break even for that particular project, unlikely they will be desperate to lower price..

Hi PV Excite, is it convenient for you to share if you bought your unit during the early bird phase? convenient to share what was the package offered?
currently, the unit prices have been increased 2% (supposedly with 18% discount priced in) with a 2k Courts voucher only (regardless of what unit you purchased).
I'm looking at the 4BR PH but am leery of the agent i spoke to who seemed to want a quick deal.
thanks in advance for any info you can share! :)

Singaporean consumers lack confidence or lazy to research. Got others to die together better than die alone... Their favourite is gather all affected purchasers and lodge complaint. Power in numbers... No ball to stand alone.

Thanks PV excite! Wow, seems like u got a tough deal! Although 4 br are indeed popular.. Already sold out but surprisingly none of the 4br ph is sold this far. Only 3 5br ph sold based on caveats lodged as of mar.
Did u not even get the furniture voucher? U should complain!! I heard it was even higher than 2k offered now a couple mths back...
Anyway, my wife is more keen on riversound so we are still in a condundrum. Kinda tough making a decision.. Sigh decisions decisions..
If hougang does fall into pap hands this by election (which is rather unlikely still), I think investments will be made to upgrade the precinct and an increase in ppty valuations will be in place.. By then pv will and shld see an uplift. Congrats again for clinching a coveted 4br!

Then again for MRT proximity, both are equally bad (Riversound and Parc V). Anyway if Defu industrial estate is gonna be developed into a shopping arcade, then PV might just be that little bit more attractive! Really subjective... Just to confirm, PV is under Hougang SMC while Riversound is under Aljunied GRC? Not too sure though!

If you are interested in the area and in no major rush but still want to buy new, then I suggest wait a couple of months for the Simon Road project. Horadings are already up. They are less than 300m from Kovan mrt.

Yeah same thoughts. Although I actually rate parc Vera with a slightly better location as it's near to hougang mature estate. Just a few streets off u will be able to get stretch of shophouses at ave 5. Proximity to kpe plus much nicer unblocked view of river is the major plus for river sound. And not to mention the unwanted barricades that parc Vera imposes on higher floors.
Price wise parc vera is very much more competitive with 4br ph at 565psf. 4br units available at 800-850psf. Premium stack 4br unit ie #13-36 with lap pool facing and gd river view at river sound is near to 900psf! All dual key units and their 4br ph are sold out too so choice of spacious units are few.

This development will not be in time for your target of next year as it is not yet launched. I think the launch would be 3Q. By the time its ready to move in, you're probably looking at late 2015. The location is good as its near to mrt and situated on high ground overlooking landed and away from traffic.

The layout of PV is good. Its very suitable for local families as it has a good size backyard. If you are planning to have a domestic helper, its useful to have a decent yard as its gives your family more privacy, not to mention the space to dry clothes.

hmmm, in tat case will not be applicable for me. I intend to have the unit booked by latest next year and to move in latest by 2014...
with such a good site location, i guess the pricing may also attract a certain premium. 1k psf perhaps for high level units?

If you look at new project under construction, u still have to wait 2-3 years to move in. Might as well, tahan 2 years to MOP, then buy a ready PC to move in, and u get to keep a valuable HDB at Tanjong Pagar. Make sense?

considered that before.. but if i dun book my favoured unit now, and the prices don't really fall in 2014, i will be stuck with sub-sales which may not necessarily entail a better price.
if i'm not mistaken, even if u are allowed to keep both HDB and PC, u can only stay in HDB and not in PC.

Frankly, i think you will regret selling your HDB in time to come, some more it is at Tanjong Pagar. No one has a crystal ball if prices will be higher or lower in 2014. Today's prices ain't cheap either. I believe most, if not all, of the people here will tell you not to sell your prime location HDB.
Unless your finances requires you to sell HDB to fund your PC purchase, I don't believe the other reasons are compelling enough for you to do that.
Lastly, i believe u can stay in PC and rent out your HDB once MOP is over.

thanks for the advice. i've thought about it quite a while too... in all honesty, for the space that i'm looking for the new unit, i do need to sell my flat to fund the new purchase. no rich parents to help out u see. :p
but i'm comfortable either way, just tat i really really do need a bigger space for my kids. with all the toys and stuff we barely have room to walk!
shall see how it goes with the sale. i'm very firm in terms of the price (it will definitely be a new record for resale in tpp) and will only make the final decision when the buyer is firmed up.
Yes. Just write in to apply. Reason being your HDB too small to fit your family.

my appeal was actually to keep my HDB but buy a new PC launch expected top in 2014 (after my MOP)... but the officer said that's non-negotiable. only option is to sell HDB before i can buy. :beats-me-man:

If prices rise by $1mil, stamp duty is $25k. So you only pay $25k (plus lawyer's fee) instead of $1mil more for that desirable unit... :spliff:

unfortunately that means i cant use my and wifey's CPF to help with the payment of the loan and for the downpayment... and to avoid the hefty stamp duties it will have to be at least 4 yrs before i can do the transfer.
i dun have rich parents or relatives and i dun haf 350k cash for the downpayment! :scared-2:
No no... U can stay in PC and rent out HDB upon applying for permission from HDB. Done online. Otherwise there's no such thing as HDB flat rental which you see all over the web...
thanks.. indeed i was mistaken. after MOP, can indeed stay in condo and rent out HDB.. my agent threw spoke bomb at me previously. :doh:
my appeal was actually to keep my HDB but buy a new PC launch expected top in 2014 (after my MOP)... but the officer said that's non-negotiable. only option is to sell HDB before i can buy. :beats-me-man:
But you need the funds from selling your HDB to fund your PC purchase. So this appeal does not work for you even if your appeal was successful.

If able to keep the flat, then I will settle for a 3br unit instead of a 4br ph Loh! 人是活的吗！
But since can't keep, then of cos i decided to get the biggest space that I can comfortably afford Loh. I intend to use this for long term personal stay hence not really for investment.

Hmmmm.... so actually you do have choices.
1. Sell HDB now, book a 4br PH, rent a place till the new place is ready after 2-3 years. Unless you are buying a ready one. End of the day, you have a 4br PH.
2. Wait 2 years for MOP to be over, buy a ready 3br (may not be the ideal one). End of the day, you have a prime location HDB + a 3br PC.
Well tough choice for you. But it seems quite obvious to me, either choices have to wait for 2-3 years, unless you are buying a ready 4brPH. Anyway, good luck!
I would do 2 anytime man... Tg Pagar hdb is a no brainer to keep

I have a HDB in Tiong Bahru areas. It is coming to 30 years. Don't know whether to sell as it's getting old, though the exterior is well maintanied.
any advice?

u think in 2 yrs time TPP will be able to fetch more than 500k at 787 psf? tat for me is the key criteria with which i am basing my decision to sell.
I think with Duxton's supply coming in end next year, the upside potential from here onwards is limited...

good advice.. am sitting on both at the same time (if no meet my asking price i take option 2, if hit my asking price i take option 1) but the 4brPH for PV is simply too enticing and cheap (in comparison to how crazy it is these days for every new launch). i'm not confident of being able to buy a new 4brph at 565psf in the next 2 years elsewhere... but then again i'm a total newbie here so i dunno. juz a gut feel.
if i choose option 1 i will be renting a 3br near my father's place (who's helping me to take care of my 2 kids).

I cant comment on the price. But when you can rent it out, it will give you excellent yield i believe. You are just blinded by excitement of PV penthouse.

You sell now, and you will be paying a rental of say $2,000 per month x 24 months = $48,000 to rent the place near your parents. Well, you are in the best position to take a decision.

Yes. That's why i'm confused why bro vince is thinking so hard over this...
unfortunately that means i cant use my and wifey's CPF to help with the payment of the loan and for the downpayment... and to avoid the hefty stamp duties it will have to be at least 4 yrs before i can do the transfer.
i dun have rich parents or relatives and i dun haf 350k cash for the downpayment! :scared-2:You can take a bridging loan which typically has a tenure of between 3 months to 12 months but this option will still carry with it other inconveniences which you may not want. Anyway, given your circumstances, I'd go for 2 properties (meaning waiting 2 years if you don't want to take that bridging loan) vs just one PH. After awhile, you'll soon realize one PH only give you the basic roof over your head but 2 properties can still generate some rental income plus price appreciation that you can benefit from should you sell your property in time to come (of course you can still sell it now if you choose to)! ;) Just my opinion!

totally agree. impt to have invst income, dont plough everything into 1 big purchase.
okie, thanks everyone for the invaluable advice...
i'm actually tasking a few agents to look for a cheaper new condo (3-4BR) that's expected to top next year so that way my quantum will be lower and i will therefore be able to afford to keep my flat.
still keeping my options open for now though.. depending on what price a serious buyer is willing to offer me now. :D everything is about valuation after all. regardless of how well regarded an investment is. for e.g., Apple at USD400 valuation is a good buy for an excellent company.. but will be a bad buy at USD 10000 for instance. a good company can be a bad investment at the wrong price and vice versa, a bad company can be a good investment at the right price. :)
as a separate discussion and as a mental masturbation exercise, if u have 200k in cash and 200k in cpf, and u have 2 young kids... what will you buy with the above sums given the current market circumstances (and i hope to buy by next year)?
2 x MM and rent both out plus the HDB and use part of total rental income to rent elsewhere larger and cheaper.

any suggestions on which MM to consider? if not comfortable to share openly can PM me pls? me only just begun research on condo hence really have very very limited knowledge in this field. :o

200k downpayment can get you 500k MM. Depends on how soon you want your MMs... There are those just TOP. Going to TOP and TOP in 2 to 3 yrs time. Generally the closer it is to TOP the more expensive.
just wondering what will the impact be on Parc Vera as a result of the by-election today...

If PAP wins, PV will sell like hotcakes. If WP continues, PV will sell like huatcakes. In other words, no impact. Your view from PV already guaranteed - of the ugly hdb blocks surrounding it. Oh maybe the color may improve with WP as they usually wont choose those fugly brightly out of sync colors... Will be easier on the eye when you look out of your window.

Lovely mini waterfall. :)
Lovely mini waterfall. :)
The noise from the water falling can be quite unbearable. Those living close to it better be prepared.

I tot it might be hypnotizing and relaxing. Humans are evolved to like the sound of flowing water as our survival depends on it (note most major cities are located near rivers including the CBD of Singapore). I like the design and laid-back neighborhood but run out of bullet to whack a unit. Very good value for money project when it was first launched.

i dont think that is a waterfall, more like a water falling down a wall. like the one in UOB raffles place, inside the banking hall.
I suppose they switch off the water feature at night.

No experience living close to one but I viewed a unit 3 floors above a mini waterfall. Definitely not for me.

Sim Lian developments usually have spacious backyard. I find it very practical. Can even put mahjong table with space to move around. Nice

If your see most private property compare with the outlook of this project you will be able to spot the different from the model at the showroom and the lift lobby staircase u will be able to spot and wonder how come soooooo like HDB. :doh: Even the first day of the launch I was there looking at the model and agent explaining, even other clients at the showroom first impression of looking at the model, " aiyo why the desgin so HDB!" :scared-1:
what type differences are you expecting?:)
Well, maybe you have heard me shouting that as I admit I was one of them... but it was only the appearance, we went ahead with it cos we like the functional layout.
today, there is some icing top on it: http://news.asiaone.com/A1Business/News/Story/A1Story20121205-387778/2.html

Even without the mixed development, owners of Parc Vera will enjoy a lot of capital appreciation. The launched price then was damn attractive and unit layouts are super efficient. Based on current mkt, owners already sitting on huge paper gain. Those who dared to enter the mkt then and bought a unit will reap the benefits of good foresight for a very much valued deal.
This project really hit jackpot with the empty land next to it slated for mixed commercial development. Who knows future defu MRT station might be nearby too.

Hi Eh, agree absolutely! The super spacious 4 bedders were then going for a crazy low price. With this new mixed developments, the value of Parc Vera will be further enhanced no doubt. Congrats to all owners! Who dares win!

If I am not wrong 4 bedder was selling at $1.2x million.
