Hi , Went for viewing yesterday nite.
owner asking $230 psf more than last transacted price.
the unit is a penthouse, 3 bedder, only 4 units within the development.
location is 6 min walk to takashimaya as we went for ice cream after viewing:D
attach is the nite view from the living room, currently tenanted to corporate lease for 3 years.
worth the million dollar view:D ??? , location wise, yes:D
think, this will be my last purchase as don't want to over commit.
so, worth the asking price
what view are you talking about! the only view i see is blocked view....

it not a bad development, but got lots of folks say prices will crash and burn,
so... still hesitating...all buyers want a good price. :)

You must thank those yowetans and Ah Bs, without them, you wont find this seller, right ?
I was thankful for them too! Coz without them, I wont be able to buy my current place at such good price too!

Bro if I tell u , wont I be inviting more competitors to my bid:D
Need more gossip mongers to help me push down price:ashamed1:
Give me 1 month times, to see if there are market changes.
In my opinion, Currently still seller market cos all the good units went into hiding. The average or below par are what available now:(
Forget about view, after buying maybe no time to view or another new building blocks it.

dont understand your logic... :confused:
Since it is a big unit (penthouse), the psf should be cheaper than a smaller unit.

I don't see any view.
Actually, I expected a better view from a penthouse.
If you want to buy, just buy, no need to wait for crash to buy, cos you dunno when that will come.
However, I don't think you should pay a premium for it, cos there is no premier view.

as I don't have the opportunity to meet up with seller thus I cant answer the question on the increase premium :D
everyone when purchasing an item, would always want the best deal.
it the same when buyer turn seller.
currently, very limited units are on the market for sale:(

I agree with the people here. There is NO view. Facing another block is not a view.

You tell me where it is, then I help you disparage the ppty / view, so the price will go down, i.e. you win mah :D

All I can see is 'Orr Luu Luu' view, everything black black. What kind of a view is this?
In Orchard, it is typical and not bad already, right? at least, it is not blocked in a short distance.

hi all,
thanks for the input, still looking around for a good deal:)
ya from conclusion seems like an average deal, currently in the market all the good units are not on sale
the reason why i delibrate took "black black" picture is, the experts in the area would instantly recognised the building....there are many
卧虎藏龙 friends here with very very deep pockets, whom could outbid me.:D

I stayed in a service apartment for 1 year in orchard. The unit has a view and after 2 weeks, we got sick of the orchard view. Requested for a change to one with more open view and more greenery.
I still prefer beach/sea/greenery views.

Then find some other project lor. Why die die must be this project? I am sure there are many condos around as well.
Anyway, black picture or not, the view sucks. The buildings in front won't mysteriously disappear when the sun rises in the morning. Unless you have another unblock view on another side which you didn't show.
But if the picture is what you called view, I think you really need to learn what is "view". Here is what I call view - http://singaporeexpatsrental.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/MBR-View.jpg

from the night shots, i am pretty sure if one is to invest in a good telescope, one can get bed scenes, which is much better than greenery view.
if i were him, i would download the floorplans of the neigbouring condos, match the bedrooms and toilets to the ones in the photos and then focus on these rooms.
Sorry to be a little crude here but if those two pictures are considered a view then almost everyone in Singapore has a view too.

Mine had good views of hotels and offices. Used bino but no chance to see any sexventures. Should have asked for a telescope.
Honestly i like the marina bay or sentosa view more than city view. Secondly you get constant honking from cars in city. Very constant and annoying.
If city living is what TS love, then go for it. Best to view the unit on a weekend evening.

I agree with you. This is not call a view. High floor or low floor, it doesn't matter.

This looks like Cairnhill Residences. If it is, I say skip this project even if there is view coz you are surrounded by equally tall condos with pocket distance views and close neighbouring views. Furthermore, the facilities are lacking and its quite tiring to walk back due to the slope up Cairnhill.
But of coz, I'm just guessing :D

my earmark funds for this last purchase are ready but.......cannot find the unit we are looking.
either the owner asking for sky high prices or just not the unit that we like.
the owner's pricing is.....:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Your 4.285mil in Dec 2012 is worth less than 3.99mil by now in real (estate) terms.
