View Full Version : Riversound - near Sungei Serangoon
Not sure why my purchase is still not updated on the caveat in ura.
My purchase was 3rd Feb.. Had also received my lawyer's doc and also balance 15% n stamp duties paid.... But they have not debit the cheque yet. My S&P exercised on 12th Feb.
Probably the sales is too good and they need slowly settle all transactions lah... Haha. :)
anyone has any idea when will the caveat be updated on ura site?
Cos my lawyer told me that once he received the signed n endorsed S&P from developer, he will inform us and send us a copy. Still waiting... :)
Sis, 3rd feb still early lar! Caveats are lodged only upon signing of SNP and/or SD payment and u will get SD Cert. Jan caveats were updated on Feb 15 and then subsequently a few here and there got updated.
Why not convenient sis? There's Cedars, St andrews. Unless they are already in sengkang schools?
My elder is already in the school in SK... Then my younger is in Catholic Kindergarden at Flower road.
But as my parents and in-laws all stays in SK, thus they can help me take care my kids mah.... And I do not wish to move too far away from them. That's why I only see PC in SK area... Not even seeing Punggol area leh. Hehe. :)

Ok... Guess that's the reason why mine not updated yet cos even the SD cheque also not yet debit from my acct... Hahaa ;)
Never mind... No hurry.... Slowly debit also good... Let me earn abit more interest lor. :)
How come never consider the luxurie? :D
Thanks!
By the way... I'm not bro... I'm sis... Hehe :ashamed1:
oh?!.... Sorry Sis.... Heeee...:p
How come never consider the luxurie? :D
more exp leh bro
Dont think prices there can even compare with ECs. PV and RS prices are similar to almost similar to ECs these days (bigger units)

If only 2 of you... Then don't go for 4bedder lah... It's too big.
My advise is 2bedder is good enough for 2person.
Cos if unit is too big,.... Then cleaning is very siong leh! Hehe. :)

Aha, i aspire to buy a resale HDB after i get married, then stay for MOP and start building up again. Thats provided i find a wife and able to offlload PCs lar
How come never consider the luxurie? :D
My hb don't like the landscape and layout. Also, imagine, RS $669psf... Luxurie $1100psf... Too much difference and we decided to save the $$$ lor.
Infact, both my parents n in-laws stays near to Luxurie... That will be even more convenient if we get there but too ex.... Can bear to submit the cheque lor.
This thread been dead for awhile, till recently all the buyers are commenting here! :D
Go to RS and ask the developer to show u the model! the entire model is in the RS's showflat!! :)
Huh!? Isit, didn't notice as I've been to RS in and out many times liao also didn't realise... faint... okok, will look for my agent...

Aiyah.... You don't be too choosy in your partner's requirement lah....
Don't set your standard too high lah :)
Do u drive? Heard the LRT is just <5mins walk away
Yes, both me and my hubby drives.... Hopefully I can get 2 parking lots in RS then.... Hehe. :)
Aiyah.... You don't be too choosy in your partner's requirement lah....

I'm not picky! just no luck i guess? :beats-me-man: been with one who cheated on me, one that has a crazy mum. :banghead:
I'll just focus on making $ first :cool:

In fact I've been to almost all the condo and EC showflat in Sengkang and Punggol area liao... Luxurie is one of the condo I totally dislike (just my own taste hor, dun flame me plse...)... Reason being the room size is way too cramp liao... With the premium price you paying, they only give compressed marble flooring and Laminated flooring for rooms.... Furthermore, space utilisation also not so great for me... Totally surrounded by HDB somemore... So give it a missed after first visit liao...:doh:

Alamak..... Faintz!
Ya, now focus on making $.
You can start investing in small units lah.... Get a 2bedder will be good to start now.
If only 2 of you... Then don't go for 4bedder lah... It's too big.
My advise is 2bedder is good enough for 2person.
Cos if unit is too big,.... Then cleaning is very siong leh! Hehe. :)
If future got baby 2-bedder will be a headache liao... Sometimes its not becos of the number of rooms. Its the extract storage space you need to keep all the kids stuffs... I've friends moved out of his 3-bedder Condo and bought a resale HDB mansion just becos she need a more spacious living area... haha, actually quite agreed with my friend and tat's why I ended up buying a compact 4-bedder instead of a initial 3-bedded...

Ya. I think H2O is still better the Lux.
The rooms are really small and cramp. And with the premium $ paying... I reckon it's not worth it lor.
Yes I also do not like the surrounding despite it being near to Compasspoint.
The landscape also not nice.

There's no right or wrong lah.

Now everybody looking forward to TOP then we can share Reno tips too :)

Just for the fun of it, another private Condo site close to H20 will be released in May'12 for bidding which will make or break CDL.
Riversound seems a good deal now in the district in view of the prevailing market condition with the excellent water features and Sky Terraces. Only concern will be the economic condition and the future launch coming up across the road. But good to see many sales for Riversound with more down to earth pricing than what Far East and Hong Leong are charging.

Oh really? Then I will keep a look out and go there kpo kpo after it's launched.... Since I'm looking for another 2bedder unit for future investment.
Hope the price will be reasonable.
Anyone whom had invested the dual-key units at RS?
They have both 3 bedder and 4 bedder dual keys.
I must say after looking at the site/floor plans again i quite like this project :D

Pricing, environment, landscaping, facilities, layout are all not too bad
Only con I can think of is that location is not near MRT. But honestly, if will were to take proximity to MRT as a primary necessity then pricing will be very very different. My opinion is from a own stay perspective.
Yes. It's a nice project with good reasonable price.
Anyone interested? Can let me know.... If purchase thru me I can get referral fees and will share with you....hehe :)
For those unreleased stacks, I can also arrange with developer to get the unit (FYI, i got mine also reserved unreleased stacks) :)

The new BTO across the road from RS...Hougang Capeview... there's shops, (kopitiam, supermarkets).
There's LRT station near RS and it's pretty easy to travel too. But ofcos location will not be as fantastic as luxurie or watertown lah.... hehe :)
:scared-1: How many % referral fees?
1% for me.... so buyer and me share lah... :)
if buy a $1mil unit... means we will both get $5k leh!
super hor? But this referral is not for everybody cos i know inside people mah.
if any buyer just walk-in.... will not get it lah. :)

Price is good but laminated flooring in the bedroom was a huge turn off
Price is good but laminated flooring in the bedroom was a huge turn off
haha, at first I also think tat laminated abit substandard. However nowadays alot of such projects gives only laminated flooring also... since the price is good, cost must cut somewhere mah.... Heard from friends that laminated is easier to maintain also. True or not huh?. My current house wooden strip flooring all kena lots of scratches liao, looks bad man...
Btw their living room is using hmogenious tiles which I find it looks far better than those compressed marble which most project now is giving. Though cheaper than compressed marble but its much more easier to maintain and more beautiful in my opinion. RS uses 80cm by 80cm tiles, damn nice and classy; catches my eyes straight away n fell in love when I first visit RS!... Whoohooo, u are mine....RS... haha:p
I shall try asking my parents to get a unit and hopefully move here! :cool:

I asked my developer (not RS) to provide homogeneous floor tiles and skirting throughout including the bedrooms. Guess wat, they agreed at no extra cost. Originally was Timber parquet and skirting. But I find these difficult to maintain. If kenna water or leakage, gone liao. Skirting also tends to detach from the walls if not done properly. You can try to ask, maybe top up a few $K more.

Yes yes! I was also attracted by the big floor tiles. Another that attracts me is the dry & wet kitchen (which I love so much).
As I love to cook and always host friends at my house,... thus thinking get a ground floor unit with patio will be ideal cos we can always host friends there.
Can't wait for RS to be ready.
Will try to drive over 1 of these days to see what's the progress now. :)

Hi Libserge
Well, don't know lor... Cos me will need 2 lots.
Anyway, will see how when TOP.
That is a prob.. Extra 6 lots , no fiber connection.....
Libserge,
It should have. You check the floor plan catalog.. At the back... Think it did indicate 'Openet'. That is fiber.
It's mandatory by IDA that openet is a must.
But I think we should all appeal to developer for Ethernet cables to all the bedrooms.
Oh okok thank u for the info... My agent dunno. Ha. Ya u are right.. Shod have connection in the room

Maybe we should all write in and appeal to developer to have Ethernet cables to all bedrooms.

Congrats on your purchase. Actually I stay near RS. :) compare to the other condo here, I think RS got a nice environment as it is not so crowded in that at least there is this empty space coz of this river thingy. My HDB shares this river view n I love this place a lot :) it's so convenient - in case u dunno, the ntuc here is 24 hr. :) :) and there is a seven eleven also. Anytime can go down n buy things.
I was considering buying this or Parc RW. The sim lian agent who served me in RS is so good but somehow ended up buying Parc RW. Think sometime buying a house is like 'yuan fen' very strange. Like a feeling thingy.
But I tell U har a lot of Indians national is moving in here :simmering: ... Long story short... U c a lot of them at river vale plaza n sometimes pretend to cut queue in ntuc blah blah... :simmering: An old uncle here commented that he fed up of them n wanted to move back to a n g mo kio .hahaha a...

Seniors can make a business out of this... push one trolley full of goods bought on behalf of others and share that additional discount... :cheers4:
Saw the tv ad. Use mediacorpse artistes again. Like Parc Rosewood, when they endorse such projects does it mean they really bought a unit there? Or given additional discount of say few tens of thousands?
Was at the showroom earlier, quite a few families there. Not bad lah. With the river view and park. But how are the amenities in the area?

Lots of existing Amenities, near MRT, Good view etc.. All this equates to high prices. However RS is now priced considerably low and knowing tat in the future more amenities will be coming up nearby, hence it's a good time to buy before all tat happens. Just my take.

View is ok, where's the nearest mrt and amenities?

3-yrs to build, stay 4-5yrs after the over supply of housings n hopefully for prices to stabilize n starts rising will be able time liao. Tats wat I tot. But of cos we will never be 100% sure of the future market, just so prediction. Keeping my finger crossed.
Anyway if market continues to be gloomy then, just carry on holding loh. Anyway it's really a nice project in my opinion. ;)
View is ok, where's the nearest mrt and amenities?
Nearest is the Kangkar LRT, abt 5-6 min walk from main entrance. Over at the LRT station also have 24hrs NTUC, wet market, Mc, KFC n a ulu looking Rivervale Plaza (undergoing major renovation now, hopefully will be nice).

Oh didn't see the add man... Who's the celebrities huh? Haha... Dun think they endorse means they bought a unit there lah... Just some paid publicity lah... Haha

Once the amenities are there, it becomes harder to move.

So Hong Huifang and Zheng Geping endorse it means what?
Are they going to stay there?
Will the residents be their neighbours?
Btw.... I think their daughter is pretty!:)
cheap... thats about it?
haha, price is probably one of the selling point also lah.
I tot tat they should be talking more on the "Wellness of the 6 senses", the Sky Terrace and also more of the Wellness Lifestyle, since this project is built around this theme, with lots of water in mind n view in mind. Rather to keep talking about nearby amenities, LRT etc... Though these are important but I thought they should be more focus on the project overall theme.
Nowadays Condo near to MRT or amenities alone will not 100% attract buyers already in my opnion. Buyers nowadays are spoilt for choice. If the condo facilties, appearance and even the landscaping is no good, even next to MRT will not necessary capture buyers heart totally.
Quote for example Watertown, FEO dun market it just becos its near to MRT. They have to go even further to market their project as a Modern lifestyle ie living next to the Waterfront, integrated with Shopping Malls 3x larger than Wisma, SOHO young S'porean modern living, Francesco Drinking and dining experience etc... That's why even when they sell at 1.1k-1.3k psf people still buy... I personally dun think Treasure Trove which is 200m to the MRT can command this type of premium, where is the theme in the project?... Hence near to MRT is not everything in my humble opinion.
I personally like RS becos of its beautiful landscaping, couple with good price and is within Sengkang (near to in-law), so that why I bought lor...
Just my humble opinion lah, no right or wrong lah.. :D
Well at least among the new launches around the area, this riversound is the only project to have confirmed unblocked views of the river. :)

I share some part of your opinion and agree RS is indeed good for self stay.
Like the surrounding environment as it is quiet, unblocked, serene. But from investment point of view, RS might not be my option.
I also think ripplebay, or the new hoi hup plot might be very nice to stay esp those facing sea view in pasir ris.

actually RS got unblocked views meh? i rmbr all like block block one leh....pocketed punggol park view at very best rite for certain stacks?
High floor north facing will get the nice river view!
This project is nice coz it has many water features n cascading some more!
Most Atas is the sky terrace! Only one in the whole of SK.

Hi Price, Condoboy, ysyap
Good morning! :)12 hours later, Good night!!! :D
Well at least among the new launches around the area, this riversound is the only project to have confirmed unblocked views of the river. :)Unblock only coz of the roads? All land in this area will eventually be totally used for high rise projects... :o

Across the road is park connecter that they can't develop on right?
So do we have new RS neighbours reporting here lately?
Sorry... Will be busy with work till next week thus will be slow slow in reply :doh:
Across the road is park connecter that they can't develop on right?Anything can happen but I think that piece of land will not be a big enough for big projects anyway... :spliff:
haha, price is probably one of the selling point also lah.
it's cheap for a reason?
The laminated flooring for the bedrooms was a turn off. even HDB BTO doesn't use laminated flooring.
Developer could have done better in my opinion

Haha the laminated flooring is not a concerned for me, so it doesn't affect my decision to buy RS. Even my own Hdb is using wooden strips n I personally find them hard to maintain n easy to chip off. So it's individual preference lah. ;)

Ya dun think tat plot of land can built any residential. Saw the last time they pitch some tentages to hold some carnivals. Quite a cool area to hold something like this there as its beside the River. ;)

Last weekend happen to drive pass it and the advertisment on class 95 happen at the same time, just nice, i pointed the development to my kids and told them this is the place they have been hearing about on the radio.
Aggressive marketing man... But still find the Radio Ad crap also... Why mentioned endorsed by the celebrities?... So wat if they endorse? faint...:doh:
What view do you get from sky terrace?
This project has 2 sky terraces on the 13th level extending to 14th floor.
The south facing one will get to see the the cross junction intersection, river n BTOs towards boathouse direction.
The north facing will get to see the river n BTOs towards punggol.
Personally I think north facing better.

Buyers are going to pay for their endorsements.
Agree, part of the sum paid to the celebrity with be passed onto someone.
Therefore I tend not to buy things that are endorsed by celebrities eg some cosmetics and beauty products.
I prefer low key but effective products.
However, this is the first time I hear a development is endorsed by the celebrity!

No lah.... Any development or products also have some form of marketing budget set aside one lah. Whether is it through Radio, TV Ad, used of Celebrity or not all these are part of this marketing budget set aside way way before the project is even launched lah... It cannot be the case tat they increase the price now so tat they can finance their current TV Ad lah... Make no sense lah...
Endorsement by Celebrity is just a gimmick to attract buyers attention as they can better relate to a public figure rather than an Ah Meiw or Ah Gao trying to convince u in buying. It's just some marketing strategies lah. You also never see SK2 market their 神奇水using any ulu celefeir rite?... Haha

Agree with you that the celebrity will attract attention.
As for SKII I never used before.
I won't pay for miracle water that celebrities endorse cos part of the high price is likely used to pay them.
Aiya.... just use Newater can already lah.

Wow... I like your explanation and description using SKII.. Haha. :)

Duno abt the price now though. Shld be still ard $820-850 psf bah.

I have just visited the showflat today. The price quoted to me is around 897 to 920sgd/psf. This is way higher than some forumers manage to get.
The layout is decent, and the landscaping is acceptable. However the carpark space is indeed worrying as the visitor/excess lots is not impressive.
The location is abit way-off, and quite inaccessible. As much as I like the project development as a whole, there are some details that doesnt goes well with me and my wife.
Price is not attractive anymore.

I am refering to 3 and 4 room units respectively at stack 35/36.
The discount based on the handsome agent, was at 20% this afternoon.
I do not think it is affordable.

Interestingly, there are a few couples/families that were touring the 4 room showflat unit. Two families immediately "yelling" that they want to book the unit(s).
I am just viewing and with the quoted price, I do not think they would offer anything lower since there are so many willing buyers in the showroom.

Ha bro, those 2 are the premium stack, pool facing some more sure more ex. If other stack not pool facing n low floor sure can be ard $850 psf. $850 psf is abt the standard price of new condo nowadays. Anything less is really a bonus. $900+ psf for 3-bedroom is quite normal also. The bigger u buy, the lower the psf.

Coincidentally, I have also requested for the stack 25/26/27/28 facing Punggol Park.
Price quoted is around 891sgd/psf.
The only 671+++sgd/psf is for the stack 26 PH.
As said before, it seems that price indeed increases.

Maybe you choose low floor so tat the psf can come down further also lor. Actually if u really interested and ready with cheque on hand. I'm they can give a slightly better discount. At least my agent is able to fight for me on tat lor... :)

Low floor is definitely out for me; I do not like low floor without views given the fact that the place is already out of nowhere. What else do I benefit if I benchmark myself lower just to own a condo unit? It doesn't make any logical sense. I would prefer to cross that street and get a HDB instead.
I doubt the agent will able to dish out favorable or attractive discount more than 20%, the agent confidently says the discount of 20% is valid till this weekend. There are many buyers out there to bite the bait.

Yes, I am waiting; in fact, I am hoping for a crash or major correction on 2nd half 2012.
I hope majority will caught in rising interest with margin call(s) and looking forward to geniune firesales if any.
Then, with crops of TOP project developments it will be interesting to see how low is low then.

But somehow very difficult esp those who paid 40% upfront and certainly these people can hold. Margin calls? Not possible.
I sense u quite obsess with punggol. Not many can appreciate its beauty, esp pple like me never stay in punggol at all, but spending my whole weekend at punggol for recreational activities.
If you hope price to crash or drop in OCR like Punggol, you have to ask govt to implement CM6 specifically targeted at these OCR areas, otherwise no hope! So far, all the CMs are not meant to do that. :beats-me-man:

These people never ever pay 40% upfront for new launch properties lah, they only paid 10% only! :tsk-tsk:
Most of these people don't even have 40% CASH to pay upfront and still have CASH left over to renovate etc, so die die must buy new launch. Anybody who genuinely need a property for own stay would be better off and can get better deal with resale, which is 35% or more cheaper than the new launch in the same vicinity, and can immediately take occupation for own stay and don't have to pay interest for uncompleted properties! :ashamed1:

Actually, price is suppose to be the invisible hand and clearing mechanism to divide OCR and CCR. But somehow, people have been sucking up OCR at prices nearing CCR. Are people tired of living in the heart of the city? If someone has a logical explanation please let me know. Prices are so transparent that people would naturally gravitatw towards to best value per dollar paid in either direction.

Hmm, I guess u maybe right.
I'm those who buy only if i got ready cash (say at least 40% plus enough buffer in the bank for rainy days) so no further worries paying the lump sum subsequently.
Pay 10%? No la, usually 20% within 8 weeks.
I cannot imagine those who can only afford 10% dare to buy and within 8 weeks must squeeze out a total of 20% to buy a property. Very stressful.

It boils down to individual needs.
If I don't work in city, i can live without going city for the whole week.
If I want buy groceries, do u think I will travel all the way to orchard ion to thirty six market to buy groceries (which is usually more expensive) or rather get my basic stuffs at neighborhood NTUC?
If want to watch movie, I will just hang out at neighbourhood nearby cinema.
If want cycling, i don't hv to drive to east coast but rather theres Plenty of connectors at the neighbourhood next to punggol with clean nice beautiful landscape.
City lotsa ERP and generally involves higher spending.
Hate driving to city as every time need to top up my cash card just for ERP and expensive parking fee.

Sometimes environment also plays a part.
Drove down to geylang to view the centra residence.
It's surrounded by a yellow ugly looking building inside the lorong lane.
Near to sleazy business too.
True, very near city, price also of low quantum, somemore FH, but would u buy?
Maybe yes to some but not everyone.

What do you mean 10%?
They can only loan 60% and 40% has to be paid in cash/CPF.

The logical answers seem to be like this:
1. Most buyers are from the neighborhood and thus more familiar with the locations and the lifestyles of OCR.
2. Prefer to live near parents or relatives who mostly live in OCR.
3. Too many new launches in OCR and also consist of many MM type, thus psf price is high and hence even resale prices are high or at least asking prices are high.
4. CCR has few or no new launches and hence resale prices are inching down and hence the narrowing price gap between CCR and OCR.
What do you mean 10%?
They can only loan 60% and 40% has to be paid in cash/CPF.
I don't get it from him also.
Anyway, u buy new launch, u need pay 5% upfront then follow by 15% within eight weeks.
If u loan 60%, subsequently the following 9 to 12 mths, another 10%.
Then finally the last 10% to be paid another 9 to 12 mths later.

oh so you are asking all for high floor ah... haha sure psf high lah. Understood liao. Why low floor out for you leh? My current HDB also top floor ie 17, but tot that I can have a change to get lower floor, face abit of pool to appreciate the Condo style living lor... haha anyway that's just me lah...:)
Well if HDB is still your preference then dun wait liao lor... Price of HDB also not cheap nowadays, can cost $500-$600k for DBSS.... :eek:
Yes, I am waiting; in fact, I am hoping for a crash or major correction on 2nd half 2012.
I hope majority will caught in rising interest with margin call(s) and looking forward to geniune firesales if any.
Then, with crops of TOP project developments it will be interesting to see how low is low then.
I am just hoping, and please do not flame me for that.
Happy waiting lor ;)
The logical answers seem to be like this:
1. Most buyers are from the neighborhood and thus more familiar with the locations and the lifestyles of OCR.
2. Prefer to live near parents or relatives who mostly live in OCR.
3. Too many new launches in OCR and also consist of many MM type, thus psf price is high and hence even resale prices are high or at least asking prices are high.
4. CCR has few or no new launches and hence resale prices are inching down and hence the narrowing price gap between CCR and OCR.
The prices i have in mind are the non mm prices. Those are near RV and Novena/Newton resale/subsale prices. So no one's gravitated to those areas anymore? I can understand the near parents part though. When you have kids, you rather not shuttle around.

:scared-4: Which world do u live in?:eek:
Sometimes environment also plays a part.
Drove down to geylang to view the centra residence.
It's surrounded by a yellow ugly looking building inside the lorong lane.
Near to sleazy business too.
True, very near city, price also of low quantum, somemore FH, but would u buy?
Maybe yes to some but not everyone.
Yea, the Yellow Building is an ultra turnoff. either u Face that building, or the busy main road. :banghead: But thanks to straits times advertisement i think most units are sold. I wonder who can take only7mins to walk to kallang from there though.
Anyone know how much is the two BR now? Keen to get a unit there since near to where I'm staying but dunno if it's a good time to go in now..

High 6xxk - mid 7xxk
Yes, price for RS has indeed increased.
So, if those whom are interested, must faster zoom down to the showflat cos they launched phase 2 over the weekends. Probably some good units still available as of now.

Hi Mate, do you own your own business or is a professional white collar? The thing is if got crash, many people will not dare enter the market. Do you dare buy when pple around you losing jobs and business in the red? I found it is always easy to imagine or say something as words are often beautiful. But how many pple really dare to buy then?

completely agree. Just ask yourself why didn't one go out and buy many cars and a few condo/landed as recent as 2009 when Lehman collapse.
If one doesn't have the guts/drive back then, likelihood it's never going to be that easy. Just look at the number of caveats lodged during that period on URA website.
There really aren't that many

Isn't it quite evil to pray for market to crash so badly? When banks are making margin calls and citizens are losing jobs, families gets torn apart. Suicide rates increase, unemployment, recession, stock market crash, banks default.
You bare to see everyone suffer for your benefit of getting cheap property?:tsk-tsk:

It's clear that u dont hv the means to buy a private property now. That's why u are putting a curse on current buyers by praying that the market crashes in the near future. U actually hope for margin calls so while people suffer u come in the market with limited cash to grab the bumper crop. U are a pathetic scum of the earth!
I agree with molotov, price correct good enough lah, don't need to see people suffer margin call so as to achieve your personal dream.

That's why you dream now, but later it may become a reality.
I remembered from your previous post that you are in your early thirties.
So you have lots of time to make your dream come true.:)

I am encouraged by your statement. I certainly hoping I will have a stake in my country, as a land owner.

I'm also in my mid thirties and dreaming for my own living space. Saving very hard each day to work towards the dream, yet doesn not want to sacrifice my way I living now. Tough balance. Problem is don't know when is a good time to go in and if the price is correct now. Sometimes wait a bit and decide, but prices doesn't wait and goes up and up and up. Never down.
But i wouldn't want a market crash though, don't exactly want to see people retrenched, jobless and have to worry about basic meals and a roof over their head. Like what some said, just hope the price will be corrected and affordable for most.
We will all make it :D :cheers4:
I notice a lot of people around me tend to look into the rear mirror whilst they drive forward. As a result, they never really get anywhere.

Never say never. Even Developer themselves get caught up. In July 2008 Capitaland spent close to 2 Billion dollars on the largest en bloc and condo project ever.

In Sept 2008, Lehman Brothers. Collapse.
Feb 2012 URA data shows, developer only sold 466 out of 1715 units. Of course developer may continue to hold their 99 yr project for another decade or so. and certainly past is not an indicative of future. :)

The Interlace sold 698 out of 1040 units. slightly better than D'Leedon. Projects like this are only meant for buyers with a lot of guts. Developer has more than 1000 units on hand. If they fire sale just 1 stack only, the rest of buyers will fall flat. Homogenous tiles and laminated flooring for bedroom. Low quality looking vanity top and fittings. All these for $1900 psf. Seriously don't think they have any intention to sell. Probably one of Capitaland's plan to hold it for a decade or two. :)
Just makes Riversound so much more value for money.

No I did not condemn RS. I said the developer should have used something better.
However In comparison with "high end" projects like D'Leedon and The Interlace who also uses laminated flooring to fatten their margin, I would say RS is value for money.

D leedon and interlace, you can choose timber flooring if u wan. They give u a choice of either laminated or timber flooring. Some will choose laminated as easier to maintain.
Wow... There's so many interesting topics ongoing.
Thanks for sharing here :)

Nowadays laminate seems like becoming a norm.

These days only high psf projects (MM) from developers like Macly, Fragrance and World Class gives marble flooring for all sorts of room types.
Rather take a cheaper price. You can fit it with the best marble later.
Yep, but like stated in ST today, MM buyers only have that much money to play with. They can't afford lower psf higher quantum units.

I think he's comparing within this project itself lar, if u want "river" view this is the cheapest i project i guess? Otherwise stick to pool view (yes all projects with pool got pool view duh?)

You may want to go to myhometown forum if you have not done so. Quite a fair bit of discussion on Riversound and River Isles condos.
The URL is: http://www.myhometown.sg/
For Riversound thread there, there are active contributors who have bought units in Riversound. Perhaps you could contact them to find out more about Riversound.
Thanks RMYCCONDO, very interesting read :) .. like a chat room for RS future neighbours and useful information surfaces within as well.. Think I may be RVS neighbour then ... :p
This week apparently there's a discount for a 4 bedder unit (not the smallest of the 4 bedders available). Think the 4th floor is going for just below $1mil. Was at showflat yesterday evening... :cheers1:All studios sold out!
