Ok back to ripple bay.. I think the condo layout looks quite nice.
It's also a fact that waterfront properties still has an x factor to it compared to non waterfront property.
Good point on the park BBQ smoke.. At least stg to consider for potential buyers.
Anyone knows whether the spa pool is hot water or cold water? I have an affinity for condo projects with warm water pool.. Haha

Which part I said are baseless? That I said Ripple Bay is selling at 100% premium to Oasis@Elias is baseless? :tsk-tsk:
And what I said about Ripple Bay situated at a lousier and more inconvenient location compared to Oasis@Elias is also baseless? :doh:
I needn't need to go further, only need to summarize 1 sentence: Ripple Bay can sell only because of govt rules & developers hooking with banks to assign obscene valuations (vs resale) making it favorable to buy new launch at obscene prices! :scared-2:
i oredi mentioned a few ready projects along jlb....pls go ura website and check out their recent transacted px....

Went down on Thurs. Whoa pian, could not even find a place to sit. Small & sea view units were snapping up like hot cakes.
Impressed by the beautiful landscape. Was surprised that 1 bedders have a balcony with full beautiful pool view. Quite tempting, 900+ psf compared to Palette 1 bedder abt 1200 psf with little pond view:scared-5:

Not so fast lah normally when I buy property I always visIt the showflat / unit at least 5 times before committing.. Wahaha need to asses whether is really love or impulse
u so cute....
so u will buy if there is a hot spa pool? LOL
Maybe why not.. Know any other cOndo with hot pools ard?
Just came back from the showflat.. Haha agent couldn't answer whether spa pool is warm water or not.. Haizzzzz why developer cannot specify.. Been having this small peeve regarding unspecified warm/cold pool issue in new launches. Maybe condo developers Shd take note..
Anyways some feedback.. The 4BR doesn't look appealing to me. 2 BR is normal but common toilet is enclosed, no window. 1BR looks like it's the best bet. it's going for ard low 500k after discount
Anyone knows what is standard rental rate for this area 1BR - new development? Agent quotes me 2.5k - that is an impressive yield if going by $500k as quantum. 6% gross yield and mthly installment is 1.1k based on 1.5% ir, and 40 years loan.
Quite interesting.. Still makes pretty decent returns based On agent's projection

I am not a property expert but have this question.
There are many recent launches and realistically, the availability of 1-2 bdr and MM will increase significantly in a few years time. Is the quote of 2.5k based on current market or the projected rental in a few years time?
2.5k rent is the bullshit projection agents made, pretty much the same way as insurance agents telling you your whole life policy has an expected return of 7% pa over the next 20yrs :cool:
Btw devilplate bro, sometimes I dun understand your posts. You yourself said many times there is no way you will buy anything for investment after CM4 (not even 5), and yet your other posts seem to suggest (at least) some of the new launches are good buys. Look at the style of most new launches , most are selling ppl the dream of an investment pty, the abundance of tiny 1 2 bedders. The median size of units sold in th least quarter is something like 6-700 sqft. It's clear who are in the market now. WB one bedder 600k someone says cheap; then it's better'ed by PR 480 to 500k laggi better deal; now RB even better 4xxk plus only, bestest ?? Can't you see ppl are drawing into this cult feverishly ?

To play safe, always give yourself a lower buffer by any figures the agent quoted to you so that you are not in for a surprise. Use HDB based line and 1rm studio rental in the market as a guage. I would say probably in the range of 1.7-2k
read today's Sunday Times on MM rental - prospects of rental values more about assumptions .....

you need to account for GDP growth as more money is needed to grow ..
last check Feb 2012 M3 @ 453,465 ... double from Jan 2006 (in 6y), far exceeding GDP growth .. it is also faster than 1992-1998 6y high growth period, basically the only conclusion is that inflation rate is now higher than 1992-1998, but not much more

You can use A-G condos 1br to judge the rental potential ;)
In 2006 I buy my 2 Bedroom Southbank for 535K. I rent my 5 room for 1.2k per month.
In 2011, 2 Bedroom @ Southbank cost 1.5 million rent for 4.1K and my 5 room rent for 2.4k per month.
"By after 2018, we will get back to yester-years where 5-rm HDB flats can only rent for <$1500 pm again. Massive HDB supply hitting market! "
In order for 5 room rent to reduce to < $1500.
1. US need to get QE1, QE2 money back
2. Europe need to recover Euro 1 trillion or more.
3. Singapore population need to reduce 1 million.
Money Printing Outlook for 2012
Based on today's action lets pencil in Euro 1 trillion more of QE for Europe, $600 billion of QE for the US and say £150 billion of QE for the UK, then that's a potentially inflationary boost to the western economies of $2 trillion during 2012 which as a consequence of the fractional reserve banking will be leveraged up to at LEAST a factor of X10 or $20 trillion. Many can argue that the money is not being lent out but rather hoarded and used to pay down debt, which is true to some extent but there will be such a potential of leveragable liquidity sloshing around by the end of 2012, that it could eventually result in inflation rates soaring to levels that we cannot even imagine today,

Ripple Bay 1br at high 4xxk ... comparable to Parc Rosewood right :tongue3:
Sure can rent out one lah ... depends on how high is your expectation ... rent to Bangla .. squeeze 10 persons into one condo unit sure can hit 2.5k :D But after 1y be prepared to redo your house ... and risk complaints from others
And you can probably check out One Amber 5XXsqft rental :2cents:
Per owner at OE thread, 2br at the area yields 3.2 rent
So is the 2.5k rent for 1BR unrealistic?

I think the 2500 per month for a 1 bed is overly bullish. The slew of 1 and 2 bed coming online in the next few years could push rentals back even after factoring in money printing. Rentals have ran ahead of M3.
Regardless guys, if already have property in Portfolio, maybe hold and don't over leverage in light of possible downturn or IR increase.
If no property in portfolio yet, RB pricing still males sense hence can consider but have to take a risk of development time, and possible downturn / IR increase.
OE owners collecting keys right now, Congrats coz current rentals seems to be quite lucrative. Save more so that can tide over bad period if economy worsens or ir increase (hyper inflation).

I would cater for a 20-30% drop in rentals just in case. If you can accepts rental at that lower level, that you should be fine. I don't doubt rentals will eventually go up from here but the smaller units will likely have some consolidation before heading higher.

Do you know the real reason behind the low demand for bigger unit? You think pple buy smaller units because they like it small? Its all about the price quantum isnt it?
If the property market continue to prosper, smaller units will always be in higher demand.
bigger units getting more demand than smaller units? Market crash loh... price down so much that pple rather go for bigger units. You can always increase the demand now by pricing down your big units loh.
Im no expert, this is just my own personal view based on my limited logical thinking. correct me if im wrong. thank you
The interesting thing abt sigapore is.. Our land size is limited. And no matter what we do, no more land means no more land.
Check out Taipei, HK, China.. They actually still have lots of space at the city fringe.. So no matter what owning a property in SG is good. But please make sure your financials are in good order.. Don't overleverage.

And yes i am recommending buyers to go for ripplebay if they r looking to buy now as there is no better resale alternative in the vicinity....unless buyers die die only want 999lh ppty....den of coz go for resale but prepared to pay for 9xxpsf.

i m staying in d18 so i am familiar wif the rental there....3k for 2bdr....so m i wrong to assume 2.2-2.5k for 1bdr? its based on newly TOP or less den 3yo projects.....not older projects
along telok kurau....i noe of ppl rented 3bdr of about 1100sqft at 3k.....whereas newly TOP naturalis 1bdr rented for 2.8k.....dun believe? U go check out those selling wif tenancy
kovan grandeur studio 366sqft 2.2k ok......boutique apts limited facilities and not near to mrt either
Ok so based on current mkt.. It's still fairly possible for 1 BR newly top project to rent out at 2.5k lah.. Conservatively at 2k, and quantum $500k, actually stil gives 4.8% gross yield which is again.. Still not too bad man.
Ripple Bay is not bad at all folks..
Ah but I do recall, the maintenance fee for 1 BR is relatively on the high side.. Expected to be ard $240/mth. So buyers pls remember to factor this in.
As comparison the Clift at D1 maintainence is only $180 for the 1BR (paiseh use Clift as comparison coz more familiar with this project recently).

Ok so based on current mkt.. It's still fairly possible for 1 BR newly top project to rent out at 2.5k lah.. Conservatively at 2k, and quantum $500k, actually stil gives 4.8% gross yield which is again.. Still not too bad man.
Ripple Bay is not bad at all folks..
Ah but I do recall, the maintenance fee for 1 BR is relatively on the high side.. Expected to be ard $240/mth. So buyers pls remember to factor this in.
As comparison the Clift at D1 maintainence is only $180 for the 1BR (paiseh use Clift as comparison coz more familiar with this project recently).
clift 1bdr maint fee at 215/mth but dun hf car lot
Ripplebay 1bdr is 35x5 share.....
U duno pasir ris has the most % of HDB household income >8k in SG?
I rem I read it somewhere it's about 35% or so.

A new study shows that about 30% of HDB households in Punggol have a monthly income of $9,000 or more.
This is four percentage points higher than the national average compared with other HDB estates.
And property developers believe this shows Punggol has potential for private residential development.
Pasir Ris has the highest number with 35% of HDB households with monthly incomes above $9,000.

I'm no money guru but I think foreign currency fixed deposit like AUD and NZD gives good yield about 5 to 6% a year. If you are in it for the long haul, you'll quite quickly see the power of compound. But patience is the key

Aud and nzd are at pretty lofty levels. The depreciation of principal could wipe out the yields.
so whats the latest sales update at RB? all the 1 bedders sold out?
whats their average price for 1 bedder btw

Agree there is some risk. I'm vested in NZD for about 8 to 9 years. There have been fluctuations but the last few months have been quite steady. Before the 2009 financial crisis, they were paying 8.8% p.a. Now is just under 5%. Still quite decent by most measures.

Nope, no 1 bedders with sea view. perhaps slight sea view at the "sky function room" (which all other residents can book) many have awesome pool view though.

That's why PRW is the best comparison. Low Quantum(398k)+ >10mins walk to MRT.

just visited show flat. according to agent currently over 60% sold, so still many to choose from. competitive price. a 2 bedder ard 775 sq ft pool view north-south facing lower floors will set you back around 670k.
can smell fresh sea air, and really nice to have park and downtown east nearby. that's a ++ to me.
but...omg the finishing is just awful! :doh: ceramic tiles and low-grade looking materials, design and carpentry work, n no options (colour, material etc.) at all. before this i went to palm isles to have a look, and its finishing is already so-so, but this one is worse. the quality reminds me of dbss. the bath fixture is hansgrohe if i remember correctly, but i have never seen hansgrohe look so cheap before!?!
if i were to buy this for own stay, i would probably request the developer not to put in most of the finishing so i can do my own, even if it costs $$$
the contractor has not been announced yet. i hope that in order to sell at such competitive price the developer does not cut too much corners in terms of build quality, but the finishing already suggests otherwise.
all seaview units gone. is it worth the extra 130k++ for a view of the sea? if i have loose cash lying maybe i will pay. only the buyer can decide lar...

On my last visit there, I saw people water ski, a couple of sail boats and also a huge tanker ship sailed past that portion of sea in front of RB. Is that not sufficient sea or what?!! The greenery of Palau Ubin is a bonus.
As to whether those seaview units and having the beach nearby is a good buy or not, it is subjective depending on the buyer's age and reasons for purchasing it.
Back in the 60's and early 70's, one could hunt wild birds, flying foxes and wild boars with shotguns or air rifles in ubin. In fact, you just need a licence to keep these guns at home. These are all fond memories of ubin's past history for some.:gun2:
That is why some people say "the money spent was worth it" on what they really like.
While others may not buy at such high prices, and these are those with the investing mindset.
End of the day, one needs to decide the lifestyle they wish for wisely.

That's the reason why I took up a 2 bedder high floor sea facing unit. I have seen all the seaviews from the whole stretch of Pasir Ris St 21 all the way to St 72. The seaview really aren't that bad. I actually waited for the RB to be launched as I only wanted a seaview unit. Had been to SeaStand launch and the agents quoted that RB land was bought at a premium from GLS and will be launch at higher psf, I'm glad that I waited and to see RB average PSF is even cheaper than Seastrand.
Almost bought a resale Oasis@Elias high floor 2 bedder unit more than 1 year back but the sea view at that stretch may not be as near as Ripple Bay. Was also looking at the Whitewater EC seaview also like half past six. My thoughts was those pool view/greenery view condos can be bought everywhere in Singapore.
During the pre-launch, I was told the 2 bedder seaview units in the 2 others blocks which was not launched earlier with buyers paying extra $20K in order to secure the seaview units.
I love the sea/beach park/kelong/Pulau Ubin view; as well as the fact that I can walk down to the beach park to jog and cycle whenever I like (fresh beach air); or walk a short distance to Downtown East where there're cinemas and a huge supermart plus shops, eateries and food court. I'm very happy with my purchase of a high floor seaview unit for homestay and looking forward to enjoying the fabulous view and fresh sea air from my living room and bedroom balconies. The high quantum is worthwhile for such a dream home.

Seaview from bedroom balconies? I guess you bought the 3/4 bedders unit. So we are going to be neighbors soon in 3 yrs time and I'm currently staying put in the north now.
With so many high-end condos/EC being built at that location; as well as the revamped Costa Sands Resort and redeveloped Pulau Ubin; we're confident that the Govt will spruce up the beach area and sea water. It is a very promising area in a few years' time when Ripple Bay, Seastrand, Sea Esta, EC, revamped Water Park and Costa Sands Resort are standing up, gleaming under the glorious sun :)
Actually, wanted to wait for Hoi Hup Sea Esta since they bought the land at 360psf, 10% cheaper than RB, but my family decided, better to grab RB fast as we do not know what's Sea Esta configuration like, it could be only the big units facing the sea and it will be $m quantum.
Really surprised that RB has 6 stacks of 2 bedders sea facing with lower quantum and I'm glad I bought $20K cheaper for release stacks than the rest who bought the other 4 stacks that was not launched. There's even rumour of new MRT line near to St21/loyang area and the EC condo name is "Watercolors". What an exotic name!
Frankly, I'm glad it's facing Pulau Ubin and not JB and Ubin island is pretty huge.

Don't count on Sea Esta; their prices (esp. seaview units) won't be low since RB is selling so well. Their land plot is also much smaller (approx. half of RB with only 300+ units to be built - also mean lesser facilities??). Grab what you can get your hands on first rather than wait for something unknown. I think Sea Esta being much closer to Costa Sands and Water Park will not be as 'quiet' as RB.

True to an extent...but if you are still paying the same dollar but not getting what you see in the showflat but something poorer, then there's a case to kao peh.

Haha, I'll be 'migrating' from the West to the East in 3 yrs time; imagine how much we love this new place to make such a big move.
I had stayed in Pasir Ris since 1992 so not new to me coz I'm back every week to visit my parents. Have briefly stayed in an Pasir Ris EA in 2003 and sold it off at 2005 before "migrating' to the North, think time to sink my roots back to Pasir Ris now, and my family is convincing my in-laws to abandon their northern abode and move to a resale HDB near to RB in 3 yrs time. Think they miss out on the studio HDB that is now being built in PR drive 4.

Already fully launched, sold 60-70%. All sea-view units from 7th floor up all sold out.

Yes, I am. I almost bought a 14 floor seaview PR HDB in 2003 but was beaten by others in the game.
I do bring my family dog to the beach in front of RB every other week previously until I have a child. Frankly, I do prefer the East Coast beach, but really pricey $ Silversea, Costal Del Sol, Cote D'Azur due to bigger floor size. Even enbloc hype old developments such as Laguna, Lagoon & Neptune court also not cheap. Now with the 700+ sq ft 2 bedder, I think my spouse and I are ok to sacrifice space for view. Imagine those HDB high floor views in Bishan can command $900K. Seaview units will have sustained value even if market trend downwards.

Those at East Coast not as near to the beach as RB (and no Downtown East or MRT nearby); most of them also have the noisy Expressway running across between them and the beach. Seaview units are really rare entities; I may not let go even if someone else offers to buy over at a huge profit :tsk-tsk:

Condo, the one behind Sea Esta is EC - Watercolours (with no seaview).

Google it find 376 unit for Sea Esta (Residential). Not sure the developer indicative price if compare to Ripple Bay. There are no sea view available for Ripple Bay. So, this is the last chance !

the older developments are occupying the stretch of land infront of RB and hence, nearer to the beach. hence, 5th or 6th floor also got seaview (assuming that the facing is right)
Hi Guys,

Have went to see Bluwater II in Jan 2010 where there is a 840sq 999LH unit asking $680K. The seaview at 4th floor 2 bedder is really a partial seaview, can see just a little and have to stick your head out. Those PH at the highest floor is costly. The high floor seaviews in RB and SeaEsta will have a grander 180 degree view
Prior GLS launched, I thought the land where RB, SeaEsta, Seastrand and Watercolors EC is currently located will be having plot ratio of only 1.4, hence when I know that GLS is selling with height limit up to 90m to100m. I knew that it will be a high rise and not a five storey developments. I'm glad with the wait and secure my very high floor seaview unit

RB and Sea Esta etc are sitting on a slope; the plot of land in front/below of RB is of ratio 1:2 - so even if they redevelop that area in the far future, they can't build anything beyond 6th/7th floor, so those of us 7th floor and above at RB - no worry at all - seaview guaranteed !!
There's now a new thread on Sea Esta in this Forum; if what is stated is correct; ie. only 1 - 3 bedders, then heng for me; I bought a 4-bedder at RB; :cheers5:

Sky lounge is opened to all 697 units. Think will be fully booked every week. Indeed, good design from developer perspective for those non seaview units. Btw, the Sky lounge incline to the right of ubin island is facing a shipyard, but don't think it will be that bad. The better view is towards the left open sea.

Agreed with you. Wanted to buy sea view unit but cannot afford anymore.
Pocket already got big hole.
Anyway doing exercise in the gymp & roam around the sky park with some sea view is good enough for me or tenant. No need to book right if not using the sky lounge?:D

Another reason is developers will claim that they absord the 3.5% ABSD for SPRs/SCs (to them they probably squeeze everybody including agent, constructor, use lousy material, cut down on marketing, showflat etc) ... if you buy resale ... it is probably difficult to ask sellers/agents to swallow that 3.5%
Sea Esta got 1 bedders facing the sea though! :banghead:
I have no regrets, the only regret is not enough juice for a 3 bedder seaview unit at close to $1.2m If buy 1 bedder, think got to let my kid sleep on living room sofa. Wonder how high psf can the 1 bedder sea facing units achieve in Sea Esta? Don't think will reach high of WT psf?
Yo Hopeful, my nose was itchy and hearing someone calling my name. Where have you been? dissapeared for so long!
Don't forget there are many goodies from developer to buy new sales and more buyer will be sucked in. Believed that there are many borderline cases la.:rolleyes:

Looking at the comments on cash back/rebates for BUC there is no chance to hide any of these when getting loans from the banks.
From what I know there is no "cash back" but the terms "rebate" will be used instead. So far they call it "stamp duty reimburshment" as you see this in the newspapers.
You pay the stamp duty first and the developer will reimbursh you the amount once you submit your stamp duty "paid" receipt.
The rebates[but not discounts] are indicated in the developer's documents which will need to be submitted to the bank and the bank will verify this with the developer in order to calculate the actual loan to be offered on the net purchase price and not the developer offered purchase price [before the rebates].
Discounts from developers are already factored in the purchase/offer price.
List price is before any discount or rebates are deducted.
Correct me if my understanding of the above is wrong.
However, I do not know what happens in the resale market.

Wonder why for RB the larger the unit, the higher the psf; thought normally it's the other way round?
When I was at the Palm Isles showsuites, the Propnex agent stressed to me that prices quoted are nett and includes all VIP, early bird and stamp duty discounts. What this means is you still have to pay stamp duty, as the developer has already factored the stamp duty discount into the nett selling price. Haha... what clever marketing! :tsk-tsk:

"normally" or for e.g. sky habitat's case, 12xx sq ft for 3 bedder suddenly jumped to 17xx sq ft for 4 bedder and for 1600psf, of course the psf has to be lower for 4 bedder.

How soon can subsales at RP happen?
Are you trying to sell or trying to buy?
If sell within first year of purchase; have to pay hefty 16% seller stamp duty and this progressively decreases over the next few years; zero after the 4th year I think.
For those who bought Ripple Bay, I am wandering you have take up the scheme with stamp duty rebates or with stamp duty rebates, which one is more worth it ?
If the stamp duty rebate had already been factored into the purchase price; you won't be able to get CPF reimbursement for your total stamp duty paid.
Very quiet. Dont know whether this afternoon Tay Peng Hui & Michelle Chong make any impact on the sale. Who knows Sky Habitat will see Chow Yuen Fatt appearing soon..:D

For the non-seaview units maybe. Hoi Hup will be foolish to launch their seaview units at a lower price than RB; since RB seaview units were a sell-out even before the launch. All seaview lovers will cheong to grab whatever are available at Sea Esta.

I bought my unit at VVIP launch also; but still had to pay slightly more than $1K psf :beats-me-man: . What to do... only want sea view - limited units; so must pay premium price.
