Record $653,000 for flat

A 4-room Queenstown HDB flat has sold for $653,000, setting a new record for psf, amid continuing red-hot demand for resale flats.

The buyers, a male Indonesian permanent resident and a Singaporean woman, could have bought a condominium unit in an outlying area for the price.

But they were won over by the location, just five minutes walk from Queenstown MRT station, and on the top, 40th floor of the block, with unblocked views of greenery from all windows.

The 4-year-old 969sqft unit at Forfar Heights, Strathmore Avenue, sold for $68,000 above valuation - a level determined by an independent valuer.

This works out to $674 psf, smashing the previous record of $609 psf, achieved in January last year, by about 10%.

This may be an unusually high price but resale prices have been moving up.

HELLO! What's this? :scared-4:

The Government said Queenstown is for "Low Income People". That's what they said.

This development's 99 year land lease started from 1998 ?

Been a good 12 years already. Technically speaking, this should be 12% discount (or more?) from brand new 99 LH in the area ?

12% discount from $1,477 psf is $1,300 psf?

Queens has $130 psf more to go as of todays' pricing?

I believe the 12% is a very prudent guide.

Currently, I think most places are trading at minimum 15%.

For comparison between uncompleted (Ascentia Sky) and 12 years old Queens, if I am buying, I will use at 20% guide instead.

Imagine if u buy and hold 5 years, then it would have been 17 years !

Just my thoughts, dont ham tam me.

Dear bros,

Any comments on this development in terms of investment and own stay?

I would say The Anchorage, just 5 mins walk from Queens and selling at the same pice psf (average $1,100psf) as 99 year leasehold Queens, is a better buy in the long term, being freehold, and sitting on a huge plot of land over 600,000 sq ft.

Massive returns when eventually enblock.

I gathered the following from some agents...
Queens: Not cheap nowadays and majority facing MRT tracks.
Anchorage: Oldish design with a lot of Indians staying either as tenants / self owned. I was told some played tennis, go sauna with their sari.

Anyone can confirm?

Noticed some indians when i viewed some units at anchorage....both units got severe leaking problems....

The common area looks not too bad....passable

I guess buying any pre-owned units sure got leakages right?

Anyway, i have no problem having Indian nationalities as neighbours. Only worry of the difference in culture might result in harder to sell in future. Some buyers can tahan, some cannot.

have viewed Queens few weeks back. Very use-able floor area. I'm just concerned about the 13yr lease gone.. 1.1k plus psf. is it worth buying? regardless to stay or invest? Agent said around 40-50% rented out.

May want to consider whether present tenants in Anchorage and Queens would change to Interlace, Metropolitan, Ascentia Sky in time to come?

If my company pays for housing, I would like brand new places and it happened that these new developments are nearby. :rolleyes:

The plot of land facing Queens Condo on the opposite side of the MRT should be re-planned for a mall.

If you check the growth of heritage view, dover parkview and one-north residence in both prices and rentals in recent months, you will observe that
Echelon does not help the return of redhill and queesntown, except to sending the PC prices in the west to the all time high.

the rental of heritage view has already upbeat Queens, and its price has almost doubled from 09 to now.

Echelon buyers will regret sooner or later.

Not many people realised that.

I think the land lease started from 1997 which means its 13 years old now!

But then we dont know the buyer la!~ Maybe he cash out of some Sentosa properties bought at 850 psf and sold for 3,000 psf and decide to buy a nice (???) place to retire and let the current own Huat a bit?

To each his own (money) !

Could also be the effect of the GLS land sale on the Commonwealth avenue site near Queenstown MRT. At $882 per sq ft ppr, that new site land price is higher than the land price paid for Echelon.

cheap money may play a part here, POSB(aka DBS) is dying to lend out money with so many saving accounts paying 0.1% interest rate so IMO their valuation may be relaxed regardless of whether is 99LH or 85LH or 80LH
