Hahaha...they complement each other. One Chinese doc trying to tackle the source while building more flats as to increase the supply, one is like western doc trying to fix the symptom immediately like panadol for fever...:D
It should work nicely now.....:p



Wah, people still buying like no tomorrow. Jia lat liow, thought the latest medicine is so powerful but the medicine seems not strong enough.

One doctor will again say no need medicine and another doctor suddenly announce a new medicine with almost immediate effect.

this is a nice project... nice design, nice reservoir view, nice 3 storey ph, high viewing gallery for all to go and enjoy the scene, potential education hub, seletar aerospace... resort feel, the fountain shaped like the gold ingot, the water jets shooting in (prosperity)... the last bits of fengshui stuff are from the agent... first few of many other plots to come (provided prices do not go down). also the prices here have not shot up as high as the other areas yet.

one news that the agents shared last week which i have not read here yet...
an educational centre will come up nearby, further down the road.
apparently this news will be announced soon, maybe 1 to 2 months.
searched and found this.

this may explain the good numbers. hopefully not many will forfeit their deposit.

The 2 available plots zoned for Education are too small for international school. Suitable more for Pri/Sec school.

Heard there may be a potential mall diagonally across S@M. The plot is not designated yet in Master Plan though.

Yes. Maybe might get one based on population density and other measuring parameters. Similar to Hougang 1 or Rivervale mall.

The school is from Dubai.

But simpang plan also mention a mall as big as Vivio linked by mrt (Thomson line) and LRT that goes to miltonia close

Found this presentation kit online. No mention of mall or international school. But the LRT thingy can actually see it from the URA concept plan 2001.

Not there. Is at the corner plot at junction ave 6 & 1.

when aang1971 also said that. Then i suspect is the site i saw. Along ave 6 (opp lilydale), Ty-lin international is currently doing the site clearance & earthworks for preparation of N6 (a breakaway from existing N6). I have some doubts why there isn't any hoarding at this plot. Might be some other things.

With huge increase in population & SAP, more things will come. :banana: :banana: :banana:

No prob... I remember the school was a certainty, however not sure if the Simpang Estate plan has any merit. Either way when that is developed, the place will jump in value.

I now can boast of foresight at buying MR during preview..haha, hindsight is 6/6 lolz

Yes, the balloting was so intense. Under that kind of environment, people are likely to choose a unit regardless but I was lucky to be called early, but i wanted the 7th floor but 7,8,9 was taken from my block so have to buy high floors but after that i heard level 7 and 9 was release again.
I have checked with my agent that the price went up 30k the next day.
But I must say the price is real high! Loans coming up........

I have checked, the news came out at 5 pm on Friday. Those who signed the purchased option on Friday are not affected however those who did not sign on Friday are affected.
I think the units were release because of this new policy or they decided to change their choice of units. I heard some agents also invested.
Balloting started at 12 plus, the news came out at 5.

I see a lot of potential in the future because govt wants to use the land there for good use and also they wanted to push to the 6 million population mark so the north is the place they want to develop.
They are done with the east and south so i see great returns.

My name was called early but after choosing my unit, I still see many awaiting balloting and their faces were very anxious as they waited for a long time. The atmosphere was intense, the rain just made it worse.

Many already picked their ideal unit but no booking allowed so i'm sure some are disappointed.

Even JLD or Paya Lebar nvr have big mall like Vivo. JLD malls add up (westgate, jem, cube), might be bigger. Got Yishun hub coming up already + Northpoint = consider quite big.

I heard skies is the only one to see golf course plus reservoir for now. Anyway will there be any new one blocking miltonia residences' views in the future? heard that there might be although plot ratio is 1:4 but still may have chance to block miltonia residences' anyone knows about this?

I think one can forget about a Mega Mall and Int School. Its either going to be too long or too far to be meaningful. Simpang? It will be after Bidadari and Tengah new town. That is if you intend to wait for 20 yrs. Rather, to me Yishun has always been a turn off due to its isolation. It is quite inaccessible having only few exit points to anywhere. Expressway is a long drive away on Lentor and it will be jammed on bz days.

Has anyone check on the new EC nearby? It is the lowest psf EC on sale and for good reasons.

To me the most significant factor that will drive up value in the area is completion of new roads leading to Seletar Aeropark, and new fly over linking CTE to Ave 1 via Seletar West Link. Only this is practical good news. Getting yishun out of isolation.

But at the price Skies are sold I just wonder ...

Since u just join, no prob. :D i will share with u.

Yishun Hub - shopping mall + bus interchange + Residential just like Bedok Residences. Old interchange has to make way for aircon one.

Currently, the demolition on 3blks of shophouses are almost done. Tender will be called next year for redevelopment. Expected the same developers for watertown/ eCO will come in with strong bid. The old interchange of coz has to go also. Temp interchange will be built (location should be opp Yishun 10 cinema). I do expect Skies. M is transacted at these prices (reference to The Estuary + 5 to 10% i mentioned b4 the launch)

Those who enjoy golfing and the high life buys it, most of them are orchid country club members who bought so at this high price,many don't expect returns so early but expect the best furnishings and everything else. Let's just say those who bought this appreciate view and have the power to hold on.

Don't have to worry about Yishun being isolated, Singapore is a rich country.Besides there will be new expressway iin the future. If you watched the dialogues with minister, PM lee said we are vey prepared for another 20 good years and so GDP must go up. Govt wants population to go from slightly over 5 million to 6, where to house them? Yishun have plenty of land. When punggol just started developing, everyone shy away and now it's money making potential.
Govt not turning yishun into industrial area leh, in the future, you will know. And besides right now, they are promoting the zoos, when tourists come to singapore, the government wants to present the best from their attractions.

I think skies is ok because no more land can block skies for now and there might be chances for future enbloc as the front plots- miltonia residences and one other plot ratio at 1:4 cannot build higher than 5 storey so I think skies is safe for now unless the country club use land to build private property, which may happen but not so soon.

they averted u fr taking homo tiles is a good thing. Minimally if no marble must have granite to feel like a condo. forummer here see homo tiles offered by capland or feo project no up ah...

Anyway estuary condo prices increased but still cheaper than preview price of skies. No furniture vouchers for this, I don' think it's 18%, I heard price increased 30-60k from preview price. estuary condo owners already pocketed 20o psf but still selling cheaper than skies for logical reasons.

The area has potential because of new roads and aeropark developement.

The smart ones would be buying existing properties around SM. Only that will u reap the full potential. As for SM, at that price the benefits goes first to the developer, buyer get whats left.

And having a Zoo as a positive for property is something new...:doh:

I think the aerospace hub thingy is overrated. 10,000 employees, most of whom could be locals or potential HDB renters and so many condos from Punggol, Sengkang, Jalan Kayu, Yishun vying for the same pool of tenants.
GEMs Intl School even if set up is a lesser known intl school.
A mall? Could only be a small one like Sembawang Shpg Centre as no developer will take a risk on a megamall in that sparsely populated middle of no where and no MRT location.
No reason to run down the location as I stay in that vicinity but I think its prospects are grossly overblown.

Yes but 1200psf? Could buy a city fringe location condo like 8 Riversuites if you are willing to compromise the view.
Actually the view from Estuary is nicer as it has a more close-up view of reservoir and patch of greenery but downside is the road noise. If you are ok with the road noise but want even nicer view and walking distance to MRT, I would seriously consider Estuary over SM and you still end up saving 100-200psf for subsale units.

Sis Jacelyn, don't worry be steady ... many months ago I said very soon nothing will be below 1000psf ... I now changed my prediction: very soon, nothing will be below 1400psf near OCR MRT, if no MRT, must have view ... be it golf view, reservoir view, river view

i share the same view. honestly, from Greenwich to any other seng kang / punggol / yishun or even sembawang new launches, they all use the aerospace hub as a selling point. in the first place, the hub aint that big. 10k ppl is like one third the amount of people working in MBFC. I also agree that the schools and shopping centres up there wont be any attractive at all. only thing is if u desperately want a golf view.

jacelynchia
09-10-12, 20:04
I do agree, if you happen to know any golf lovers like me. You would know.
Anyway even if the market don't go up for skies, no one will sell at low prices anyway. If sky habitat can sell as high as 1700 psf, anything is possible.

Another things I heard that most of the new owner who got it is from Huttons who managed to get 80% of the sales and Pronnex was managed to get 20% of the shares of today sales. :luke-and-darth:

Feel buying property should be for own stay or long term investment / rent. Too much short term speculations is bad eventually for all. So, for those who can afford and hold, can buy at current market price but within individual affortability before all sold out and lament 'missed the boat'.:cool:

I have seen some of presentation slides on SAP may not show what exactly will be in the future (in terms of size area). More land will be taken away from Mindef for this development.

The golden rule of property investment. Location location location.

When the correction comes, no one will be spared. But some will come to realise when all the hype dies the property is actually located in a ulu outskirt with little or no amentities but bought at a ridiculously high price.

This boom cycle is unique because of run away HDB prices, which spill over to mass market condo. This run will eventually end at some point and return to normal. Ulu place, low price. Nothing wrong with staying in outskirt. Its just the price you pay should reflect this.

SM may has stunning views but no amenities nearby...for the expats who are renting, views may be last of their concerns since they come back late when all is dark (usually they chill out after work) and just want a place that is easily accessible and close to shops for their daily necessities. Besides from where they come from, they have plenty of superior scenic places.

SM more likely to cater to Singaporeans whose kids have grown up and want a place with a more relaxing lifestyle :2cents:

For 1200psf -1300psf I rather buy 8 Riversuites. Surroundings quite sterile but location way better for same price. Much easier to rent if decide to do so and at a better yield.

Orchid Park penthouse, top floor. Anyone wants to pay me 800psf for 1800sq ft, I will sell immediately. Lelong , much cheaper than SM. Of course much older and run down also. But I doubt any SM unit will have such a view because in front of SM there is a longer stretch of greenery including developments like MR / Shaughnessey before you hit the water view. Only downside is road noise. But after so many years got immune to the noise and the view as well.

that was the best stack my agent asked me to buy - right in the centre, facing the gold ingot, with the fountain shooting right at you! only got to clear the pavilion in front and the townhouses as well. at 1st preview, was told price starts from 880k. do you know the eventual price for 2nd floor?

decided to go in elsewhere instead, spread the eggs.

Orchid Park penthouse, top floor. Anyone wants to pay me 800psf for 1800sq ft, I will sell immediately. Lelong , much cheaper than SM. Of course much older and run down also. But I doubt any SM unit will have such a view because in front of SM there is a longer stretch of greenery including developments like MR / Shaughnessey before you hit the water view. Only downside is road noise. But after so many years got immune to the noise and the view as well.

The pent houses are going for 2.4 above and sold some units. Anyway developer increasing another 3 percent after increasing 3 after preview day.
Even Fengshui master bought after preview.

Contacted any agent to sell for you? asking around 1.4m for your penthouse?

Just joking, do not intend to sell it.How to get this space for the price elsewehere. Will renovate it in 3 years time and continue living in it for another 10-15yrs until kids grown up and then maybe go and buy a smaller unit at SM for a quieter retirement.

He bought his Bishan very high floor 5-rm HDB for $100K donkey years back and refuse to believe that housing prices can appreciate so much. Years back, was looking at Garden @ Bishan, Bishan 8 then Clover by the park and the final straw, sky habitat and have to accept the fact there are no more $500K condo in Bishan and hence have to move expectation northwards.

Problem is when properties was cheap then, people will want it cheaper and wait and wait.

Originally i thought your 3 bedder is the premium type. More than 1150sqft type. 1.2 mil still ok.
Its only when you shared its a 3 br compact at 969sqft at 1.2mil then i find its expensive.
Anyway, as long as you are satisfy with your purchase and within your budget, good enough.

It was a hot day to visit showflat, and just happened I was around there and took a look.

My view :
reasonably good place for own stay if transport and schooling are not real concerns.
Low quantum for the 1 and 2 bedrooms, but may facing problem in renting out as lack of good transport.

I believe, when u want to buy 1-2 bedroom for investment, quantum is not the sole deciding factor. It is the public transport is the important factor, u need to pay a premium of the convenience. As this group of tenants have no car so public transport is very important.

Project a whole : reasonable.

your low floor stack 03 1076sf @ 909k = 845psf the 2nd lowest quantum / psf unit is the best! you will have the chance of getting the best rental yield, unless it's for own stay ! cheer up ! there is a price point for every decision. i had wanted the stack 23, but decided to get another area instead.

Only the east facing of the east wing may get developed. West wing reservior facing should not have any more blockage except for MR.

If not wrong, the price jump from lvl 6 to 7 is 100k, after that is 20k per lvl upward.

If that is the case, could it be because level 6 may still have something that block the nice view? E.g. Top of nearby Trees / Miltonia Residences PH etc ???? :confused:

i'm a MR owner, i'm very impressed that they manage to sold out 100% and to sell the remaining 5 2bdrm penthouse units facing SM even before the launch of skies. Do u think SM will sold out 100% soon?

Definitely. When people actually realize prices will only go up and not down.
But the town houses are seriously pricey at 3.8 but 3 out of 10 are sold.

Err if you study MR plan...it has high ceiling. First floor as high as 5.8ft. 2nd foo average 3 plus feet.. Hence a bit taller

Definitely, based on google map, the east wing of SM will overlook both MR and Shaug, with MR fronting the golfcourse. At lvl 6, i suspect you will just peek over the town house first and then MR roof tops.

Check out the video at 2:13, this could be the view.

The PH design for MR is really nice where the bedroom extends out to the very big balcony whereas for SM, it just a roof terrace.

Foreign workers. Yes Centris @ JP. Also direct hit with mrt.

Mrt track noisy, airplane noisy etc. or not....seems not impt anymore to 'modern' buyers as long as convenient.

Just see the transacted prices of Centris, Caspian, Manhattan, Optima etc, these easily exceed a million dollar in home price with size of about 1000 square feet......

So, for those who wait and wait to enter property market and complaining track noisy, air polluted etc. , time has proven that these people are not understanding 'modern' buyers' wants/needs and frequently lament that 'they have missed the boat' , 'price too high for ulu location' ,'developer ripped off people' ,'developer laughing to the bank' etc........

For those who sit on the fence, remember' time and tide' wait for no man especially age and inflation....:scared-2:

Not mistaken, if i rem correctly, SM height was raised at level 6 something like that.

The developer has taken care of the maxi. height brought by MR, so they are going to raise the land height.

I wished too. But you get what you pay.
Can see that this developer is very meticulous to details.
By raising the land and furnishings if you have seen all very good!

Those who wait and wait, they will be the ones losing out.
I'm sure MR thank buyers at SM but in the future Sm will be thanking the new homes as well!

If that kind of prices, chances of getting your choice unit will also be lower.

einnoc,

you misunderstood me. 880k was only indicative when they opened showroom, but showflats could not be viewed that day cos not ready.

i only wanted to find out what's the final transacted price if anyone knew.

your low floor stack 03 1076sf @ 909k = 845psf the 2nd lowest quantum / psf unit is the best! you will have the chance of getting the best rental yield, unless it's for own stay ! cheer up ! there is a price point for every decision. i had wanted the stack 23, but decided to get another area instead.

cheers,
lifeline

sorry, i made a mistake i mean i bought Blk 23, Stack 7 @ low level for 938 psf :( So kinda upset when u mention 880K for other stacks....\

komo, may i know what is ncl?

Lovelle, i went w my agent fren. i din suspect anything until the newspapers reveal abt the 18% discount n jace also said so. Then my next bombshell was abt regarding the indicative price@ 880K. So i think i was "chopped". Btw did they put the price list in the showroom now? I went on 5th and i can't find price anywhere in the showflat. Therefore, have to rely on my agent fren.

I don't think you get chopped, don't worry

Buying property is like this...better unit cost more

developer don't really have an open list price

When I bought MR, i was told I had preview price...I asked for discount, was told there are a few people waiting in line

Lan Lan have to accept...no time even to flirt with the property agent...

Accordin to concept plan 2001 this line cuts north of the dam which means it may be near the international school.

you should go SM vvip.

after 30min in Q, is my turn(so excited, either #10-xx or #08-xx). I chose #10-xx, booking staff said #10-xx taken by the client in the 2nd Q next to me. staff: only left #08-xx, u want? u want? else wait at the side.....worse than fish market, u cant bargain.

It was my first time attending a vvip and seeing so many agents in my life. Waited closed to an hour in the queue as there was 1 or 2 breaks in between. Very disappointed when I joined the queue to know stack 25 and 23 were sold out. It was like everyone was aiming for the same few units, perhaps the high psf didn't make it sell out just as fast. Wonder if there are any return units so far.
