yup i also think like that...2012 can see more desperate sale...:D
I am certain landed cannot sustain price hike. If it is S$1.5m let me know too.

Either the owner has no Internet or he is really an ET just arrived from outerspace.
Keep in mind, brothers: Just a few years ago ( meaning less than 10 years ), the asking of a terrace was only S$700,000. Even earn more than S$1million, he also see no up hor... I am going to wait until it drops to $700psf or lower. ( remember I told u guys about gold crashing? See now got happen bo ? )
Also remember, you should pay only the land price unless it is a newly built one then pay the built up price hor.
WOAHAHAHAHAHAH

Hi radha08, are you referring to the 2 storey terraces facing the shophouses? Yup, you should tarik harga (bargain). If you get it at your asking price, please let us know.
you went for your final house hunting in 2011, I went for my final car hunt in 2011... :o the car centres are void of pontential buyers... all agents crowding roudn you hoping to make the last sales to close the year... :eek:

my dear...landed prices very hard to fall. for myself i had so many offers but i know i will never sell my landed properties unless i can fetch a super high price. in SG, if you don't really need the cash, sitting on FH land is the way to go. every person knows that.
if you are waiting for a crash, i am very sorry, there may be discounts here and there, but most landed owners like me will first dispose our LH condos...i will definitely hold on to my title deeds unless i really become penniless....
so the moral of the story is, go for LH if you want it cheap....

Just a simple car will do but today I saw my friend just bought a BMW 730... I must drink water :cheers1: and say me no need such high depre cars (although some might argue in recent times such big cars can make more $$$)... But the car really look good! Lol! :)

One thing I can't stand public transport is the waiting time.
2 days ago decided to take bus to orchard road instead of driving. Waited 20 mins before the bus arrived. And by then it was quite packed. :doh:

I ride a Motorcycle(Honda Phantom)! Best of both the worlds. Dont need to spend like crazy like a car and wont get stuck in traffic jams like cars do and yet at same time no need to tahan the sardine cans MRT :D. Cost of riding bike is actually cheaper than MRT, but so much more enjoyable :cheers4:
Luckily Singaporeans think Bikes are not safe. Please keep thinking that way and the bike COE remains cheap and also not much traffic due to bikes :cheers5:
I actually feel like laughing when I see people here looking to rent condos near MRT :D Poor souls spend so much for condo yet need to tahan an MRT.
I think best thing to do is ride a motorcycle to office and then use a taxi when you want to take your family out, especially if you have kids.
Buying car is crazy here. By riding a motorcycle you get same or more pleasure like driving a car, reach quicker to office and spend so much lesser.
Smart am I not? :D

agree to a certain extent...as you are looking at it from a sellers point of view you will have no desire/intention to go to the ground and sniff out any interesting deals...however me from buyers point of view will spend time looking thru ads/papers etc to find a good deal...yesterday i think i found such a deal...FH terrace D15 val 2M....seller already commited to another house as what agent say....last offer 1.75M...rejected (fair enough)...agent say 1.8 M above can try...thats a 10% discount from fair value....the way i look at it 6mths to a year ago...cannot smell this kind of oppurtunity...YES FH landed will always have a niche MarKeT but when the wind start to blow and the tree branches start to sway only the STRONGEST durians wont drop....:D

yes brother devilplate is correct. One must learn the true skills of a property buyer/investors. Dun have to buy what....now look at the prices offered to you, if you think it is not reasonable- YOU HAVE A RIGHT NOT TO TAKE UP THE OFFER-
Remember that. Another tricks by agent is they will either intentionally ignore you if they know you are rich ( easy to gather such data especially you visited many showrooms) or use other buyers to pressure you or use the whiteboard with many red "SOLD" labels.
That maypressure you into buying- DO NOT DO THAT! BUY with A CALM AND CLEAR MIND.
Further, let me EXPOSE.....errrrr.. I mean expose a secret info for you:
Many landed sellers are planning for something major when they want to sell. They do it because of age or because they need the cash for the overseas education of their children or simply for retirement.
So, CASH IS needed and topmost in their mind..remember that.
When I buy Taiwan landed properties, I always offer 10-25% lower than the asking.
Dun need to thank me.
WOAHAHAHAAHHA

Strong wind will not cause durian to fall.
So you will have to wait till they are ripe.
If you wait long enough, they will eventually get ripe.
