Property always go up in the long run. 4 years later sure go up.
But don't forget that more cash is now needed, if you still have a housing loan outstanding. :D

no offer...maybe really Armstrong's agent haha. I can hold for a long time. If I don't find a suitable price, then I will probably rent out once it TOPs (after PAP comes into Potong Pasir) this year.
Everybody will think the same way by renting out. Just hope there is rental demand. Otherwise, rental will drop if there are desperate owners. This has happened in some TOP developments.

are you familiar with W28? It's sitting on top of a MRT three stops from town.
sure have rental demand...only question is how much.
Anyone knows what's the expected rental rate for a 2br or 3br for this development then?:)

3k for 2 bedder
That is exactly what I meant. The rental rate. I have seen newly TOP development that is 5 mins walk to mrt stn and one stop from town that has dropped rental rate even before the implementation of all the measures. It is about human sentiment. W28 station is more than 5 mins walk and 3 stations away from town (not shenton way).

aiya...let's not go into a discussion 5min, 6 min, 7 min walk to MRT station, to the MRT entrance, to the MRT station control. It is simply the NEAREST condo to Potong Pasir MRT. I have stayed there in that area in two HDB flats and a landed property...it is so near to the MRT, that the MRT station ventilation shaft is poking out directly in front of one of the units I wanted to buy.
unless rental rates drop to below $2 psf, then I am not worried. It has a long way to go. Going by One Leicester rates, rental rates there are about $3 to $3.20 psf for the area.

Errr......with COE at stratospheric levels, expect both rentals and price of condos that are very near MRTs to rise even higher..... :money-faced1:

this is not really true, new generation don't really care whether is FH or LH. :doh:
Maybe its Armstrong's agent? ;)
cannot be lah, have yet to give any instruction to my agent. I target to buy Woodsville at $900psf and woodleigh at $850
cheers
When everything being simlar, LH and FH makes a different. In becomes more important with all the new measures. Imagine a 4-year economic viable period of holding by each buyer of the unit. Maybe new generation is constraint by price.

nope, didn't get anything - but if it is for a 1184 sq ft 3BR unit, some should bite...but i don't think owners of the 1399 sq ft BR will sell at this price.

I feel for you and do hope we can be neighbours soon. Price is going to be as high as NIN.
- W28 was launched at ard 900 - 920 psf; those folks wld need to hold till it reaches high 900's to 1000 to breakeven; 1100 to make decent profits
- The second batch of buyers bought around 750 - 800psf. Assuming they are specuvestors, they would have cashed out by now, or are well endowed and sitting pretty and waiting for higher prices
- If they are not, then they are homeowners seeking to stay. it will take a lot to lodge them.

Between the two group, go for the bigger profit for owner. What logic? It means if both selling at 1100 psf, owner a bought at 900 and owner b bought at 700. The one who bought at 700 is more likely to bite. After all, the money is to be used to buy another replacement home if he intends to stay there. Go find owner b quickly. It should not affect those who had secured bank payments earlier.

yes, i also think so.
though some complain that the traffic at woodsville, leicester, nin, etc are horrible, but look around, which part of spore is not heavy traffic? i only believe any project is next to mrt, the value will even better than freehold project, demand is always there, especially spore is facing ageing population. old people will tend to make use of convenient public transport rather than driving... can't drive i guess.
hope to get 1 soon around this area.
But he only looking for those selling below $1k psf leh. :D

this is 1399 sq ft right? Too big for me, 1184 or 1195 sqft just nice for me.
have to wait for another 1 or 2 mths to see how the market behave.

Yeah, it's on the URA's Government Land Sales confirmed list.
http://www.ura.gov.sg/pr/graphics/2010/pr10-137a16.pdf
Narrow plot, but right on top of MRT Station, next to Nin Residences. Tender in Jun 2011. Wonder what the bids will be like given the cooling measures? There's even enough time between now and then for 1 more round of measures if the govt so chooses... :beats-me-man:

should be 99 yrs leasehold, is very rare to find any freehold next to mrt.
Anyway as long is next to mrt like NIN, woodsville 28 or woodleigh, etc even is 99 yrs, value is always there.

Some basic calculations regarding the plot of land to be launched for tender.
Size is 8500 sqm, or around 91500 sqft.
Plot ratio is 3.5, meaning allowable Gross Floor Area is 91500 x 3.5 = 320,250 sqft.
So for 330 units, each unit averages around 320,250sqft / 330 = 970 sqft.
This is without the 'bonus' gross floor area that the developers get for balconies and stuff. So the average unit size will be around 1000 sqft then?
Not too small actually, given that there is definitely going to be a number of studios included among the 330 units. :)
But given the GPR of 3.5, it does mean that there is a large number of units sharing a small plot of land and limited space for facilities.... Also, looking at the orientation and shape of the land, it is most likely the most units in the project to have East or West facing :2cents:

True, sub-sale units around the area still look attractive than this NIN. If a 3bedroom is at $1.5m after 3% rebate, still around $1.45m.
Yup, checked the price of a 3-bedder of 1,281sf on the 7fl at $1.63M, discount to $1.53M which works out $1,196psf, before the 3% cash rebate.

don't bother whether is FH or LH...... area like punggol already bid above $700psf, by then when it launch, it will definitely have to sell above $1200psf. If this happen, W28, NIN or 8@W, etc will not be at current range ($1060++psf), it may even hit $1500psf. :scared-3:

Usually newer launches will command a premium because developers peg it to market sentiment and projected cost upon completion. It has a domino effect on surrounding properties too especially when they are still new or have yet TOP/CSC.
I have read your postings and I do suggest you consider older flats around the area. They are usually cheaper.

can't afford this area, be it new (above $1100) or old (thought the psf is lower but area is bigger, so in total still above my budget).
So i look for further area, I checked on the manhantan @ simei, but I am really shock by the price, for this place it can even ask for above $1200 psf, my goodness :doh: For a small 3 bedroom (1033 sqft), it cost around $1.2m to 1.3m, can u believe?
You might want to consider Minton, Kovan Residences or H2O residences further up on the NE line. They should be within your budget. :beats-me-man:

i have also visited showflat @ minton, the facilities are fantastic but too far from mrt. Kovan is not cheap either.
H20 is not cheap as well, unit area is so small (1000 - 1100) and cost around $9XXK, which is close to $1000psf. Based on the floor plan, bedroom 3 is so small that it can't really fit in a queen size bed.
Think better get resale HDB.
I'm thinking of Leong Bee Court next to W@28.
FH, big and cheap excet that it's old though fairly well maintained

there's usually a slight premium to be paid for yet to TOP devts and some would argue that the condos around PP MRT are nearer to amenities whereas there are so far none around Woodleigh MRT which will open soon (but that also means lots of vacant spaces around Woodleigh MRT which lots of upside potential for other devts).

Yes u are right. Leong Bee is enbloc.... the new development is expected to fetch around S$1,400 psf to S$1,500 psf. And according to HSR the currently vacant land parcels surrounding Potong Pasir MRT Station is primed for future development such as a new mega mall or mixed commercial & residential developments. :)
You should have act fast.....
Yeah totally agree, a sizable mall would be great for the area. something like a greenwich V (or potong pasir v) would be good too. But realistically it might only happen if there is a change during the elections.

Have been following you guys. Just registered.
There will be competition for the mall location. Either it is at Potong Pasir MRT or Woodleigh MRT. Unlikely to have malls at 2 locations so close to each other. I put my bet at Potong Pasir if Sitoh wins the election. Go Sitoh go.
URA MP2008 had also zoned a plot of land beside the Woodleigh MRT, between Aljunied and Bradell Road for commercial use. :D
Seems like OCR now going for about $1200 PSF for LH and possibly $1500PSH for FH. That males some areas in D11 like Novena area look attractive. Soleil@Sinaran next to Novena MRT going for about $1500 PSF (LH) as compared to nin residence for $1200 PSF. Potong Pasir area lots of heartlanders. I might as well go for Novena area.
If Leong Bee enbloc, that means that W@28 will have to bear with some construction noise for about 2 years plus. Was considering W@28 but will give it a miss now.

Woodsville Mansion FH. But no transactions done leh for a long time. Seems like it's a closely knit family living there.
I noticed that W28 has extended the back boundary. Illegal parking there is a constant problem. Lots of cars park by the side and restrict the 2 lanes to 1 lane. My ex neighbour who lives in Ol says that lots of complaints have been made but not attended to.
Recently, lots of parking warden. Dunno whether it's the effect of W28 connections or Sitoh now looking into it after many years of frustration faced by residents. Seems like only Senette given the promised upgrade and Woodsville area was skipped after the promise by the ruling party that whichever majority zone votes for it will get the upgrading.
I hope it's for the better as the cars defnitely cannot park there

Average income of a couple should be around $5k each and that makes it $10k per couple. Foreign bank will easily extend $1.4m loan. So affordable to buy houses now. $1.6m for a flat is affordable to most couples earning $10k monthly.

UPDATE
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=lee+hsien+loong&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz2-ytff-tyc)'s open admission that PAP wards are favoured for HDB upgrading exercises has touched a raw nerve among netizens.
His admission came as a reply to a university student living in the Hougang Single-Member Constituency (SMC) (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Single-member+constituency&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz35) ward who asked if he could pay less tax since the opposition-held ward does not enjoy upgrading programmes.
Passed by the site just now , they have removed most of the scaffolding.
The building is mostly in white paint and cream coloured paint.

What is a good rental to start with? $3k per month, unfurnished?
There is a bus-stop in front of this development. Noise from the starting and stopping of the buses can be quite bad besides the noise from the other form of traffic. There is an article in the ST today entitiled; "Car pollution can damage brain".

depends on what size is your unit...go to prop guru and do a estimate. My guess would be $3.3 psf to 3.4 psf.

Wonder if they will repaint if enough people complain to them about it?

i think we should expect at least $3.20 psf and above
URA rental for Q3 of 2010 was $2.97(25 percentile) $3.00 (median) $3.20 (75 pecentile) in one leicester with full condo facilities. Should be around there.

haha - read the same data. Considering that W28 is new and nearer the MRT, $3.20 psf should be easy. But of course, the potential tenant is also impt.
You may get nasty tenants who will complaint of traffic noise and ask for lower rent as compared to one leicester pool facing @ $3.20psf.

went to call them...apparently the TOP application has not been submitted yet...:beats-me-man:
not even TOP yet, but there already so many people quoting to sell above $1200psf! So TOP, what will be the price?

Kovan residence oredi calling 1200psf...so wat px u expect?
Kovan residence oredi calling 1200psf...so wat px u expect?
does that mean woodsville 28 can call for above $1300/ $1400 since kovan residence already called for $1200psf?
depends...last benchmark was in Jan 11 - $1065 psf. Some buyer needs to make another benchmark before it hits $1200 psf.
What is the thing that mount on the wall? is it controller for water heater or aircon?
I will also try to sneak in to take some pics :)

Juz a kaypo neighbour across the Leicester street, Is it true that there is no guardhouse for W28 (with 110 units). No security services ??? Wow, can save substantially on monthly maintenance fees.

Agree.
My previous condo that i stay, with no of security guards still can allow outsiders enter the condo without checking. :doh: Even my relative driving in (just mentioned my unit number), they can allow them to come in without informing me. :hell-hath-no-fury:

no wonder saw number of seller are quoting above $1200psf now @ propertyguru. Look like when it come to TOP, may hit $1300psf.

Why not? There are already people quoting to sell at $1300psf. :)

Just found out that it was #17-05...highest unit
Leong Bee Court residents will have to vacate by January 2012. So demolition works will begin after that and the new developer, PT Sertia, will start construction works next to W28. Wondering whether the noise will be berable? Thinking of getting a unit at W28. Or should I wait for PT Sertia to launch the FH units instead?
Plot ratio for Leong Bee is 3.5 so that means it can build really high and overlook W28. But it also means construction will take a long time. I like W28 but dunno whether I can put up with the noise and dust. The swimming pool is going to be very dusty and the foreign workers will be ogling at the ladies:scared-4:

I suspect PT Sertia will really build a reasonably good class FH 24 storey apartment here. I suspect the psf should exceed 1350 psf. Next door FH neighbour One Leicester with full condo facilities should be elevated to next selling level i.e 1400 psf. :)

Wonder if Leong Bee Court has building height limit of 64m AMSL? Cos W28, nin residences, one Leicester etc all have it.
Bad news for owners of W28 who wants to let out their place.

interesting updates...now it depends on whether W28 investors can tahan waiting for PT Sertia to complete their condo to capitalise...
i am sure that the W28 units can be leased out...but it may not be at a premium if construction works start...
I pity Woodsville Mansion. Developer owns 4 out of 16 units and they have no intention to sell and are holding out for a good price. They can wait lah...
Have to tahan so much changes from OL, Woodsville interchange and now by PT Sertia. Too greedy. I believe Leong Bee would have approached WM to combine and build a condo.
Laguna and Tulip owners also too greedy. Good that the enbloc didn't go through. Avon Park owners now asking for 1200PSF. Good luck to those selling. With these kind of prices, I rather top up and get Novena area (D11)
Leong Bee Court was sold to SP Setia for $65million.

In SG, this is unavoidable, there are so many condos were enbloc. Anyway SG is so small, is like a construction site, everywhere is constructing.... not only leong bee which is next to W28. So no big deal lah..... :) I also like woodsville 28 and want to buy but can't afford this pricing liao.... If u need to buy W28 and can afford it, then go ahead.
New rules on Construction Activity on weekends are coming. This will ease the frustration of residents in houses next to construction sites.

LH and FH side by side...
the only way is to go for FH provided it is fairly priced.

I read in the article that PT Sertia intends to build a commercial cum residential project. Can meh? It'll be nice to have a cafe at existing Leong Bee and I can go there for my meals. I just hope thatt the rubbish chute is not built next to 28. So many units = alot of rubbish = foul smell.
W28 now asking for $1100psf average. Same as OL which is FH but older. How? Which one to get? I can't wait for economy to burst. Then I'll go in and whack. Hopefully now with the IRs, more people will go bankrupt and more fire sales will happen.
Right now Woodsville CLose really messy. Ever since W28 is built, the roll of house cannot park illegally on W28 side and their cars are crammed on their side. Include pedestrians walking, really a danger zone. Wonder why the TP and LTA are not doing anything to improve the situation. Seems like this private estate is not on the Estate's MP priority after giving him the votes.
That day I dropby W28 to look see. Saw a few people around the building who like me also tried to get inside. Must be the eager owners. Looks like HDB upgraders.
I read an investment analysis on PT Sertia, it mentioned that PT have enbloc this leong bee at potong pasir, and potong pasir has great potential, especially the plot of land behind the mrt station was earmarked for commerical cum residential project under the masterplan. Look like giving another 3 - 5 years, this place will be very different.

...and to think that in early 09, it was selling around 780psf. :(
If they are to build anything on the plot of land between HDB shops and MRT station, it will be commercial and residential according to ura master plan 2008.

I can hear the soothing sounds of the water at the swimming pool yesterday night when I walked around. Lane painting are done. I'm sure the land next to MRT will be developed. So prime. Another condo? Hope not else everywhere construction.
When it was launched in 09, developer couldnt sell and had to lower price. I hope enough parking lots. hose with 2 cars how ah? Got lots or not?
Anyone sneaked into Leong Bee so far?
I went to ninth floor yesterday night at Leong Bee and looked at W28. Really nice.
I also saw this #09-02 unit at LB. Very well done. Pity the owner who had spent a bomb renovating their unit but I'm sure they are now laughing to the bank.

I also hope there will build a commercial and residential building, but when will this happen? This has been in the master plan for so many years....
Will it happen?

How to have commercial and residential building?
Compass Point?
Land too small. Might as well make it condo like Kovan Residence.

Small ? sure a not. That plot of land is quite big hor ..if you imagine it is cut half by the P P walkway. Can be a mixed development with shopping mall and office space, may be some residential hor

alamak is right, that is not small. Anyway it is already in the ura master plan. In the past, this will not happen, but now, it is possible ok. Who know it may be pretty soon? :)
Is the bus-stop still there?
...........
Woodsville junction flyover to open on July 31 (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1143334/1/.html)
Posted: 27 July 2011 1523 hrs
SINGAPORE: The new flyover spanning the Woodsville junction will open to traffic on Sunday at 10am.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said the 400 metre flyover will connect motorists directly from Jalan Toa Payoh to Jalan Kolam Ayer leading to Kallang Way and the Pan-Island Expressway towards Changi, bypassing the Woodsville junction below.
The new flyover is part of the upgrading project for the Woodsville Interchange to improve overall traffic flow at the busy interchange.
Besides the flyover, the LTA is also constructing three vehicular tunnels to improve the overall traffic flow at this junction.
Works to upgrade the Woodsville Interchange started in 2007 and are expected to complete by the end of the year.

Is the bus-stop still there?
Yup.
A redundant bus stop.
