We might see more discounts ahead (around Q2 and Q3 this year) from other developers when D'Leedon and Interlace are fully launched and their on-going constructions need more $ :)

Yes this is the cycle and I will be watching. BTW, how do you find interlace? any investment value?

rattydrama
30-01-11, 16:20
Wats the reason??
lakefront buyer bou after 30 Aug with 30% dp. They have holding power and are committed to long term gains and not short term.

Caspian / Mi Casa have investors (those subsale) with short term view so they may run first causing some price panic.

Mah can do anything meh?

He hinted at a fifth round of measures.

Which means that he thinks the first 4 rounds did...zilch.

The economy can be turned around based on his words meh?

Similarly, if got down turn, you think he got any effect or not???

RH has everything to offer in a condo and it is ready to rent out, unlike mee laksa that will only TOP some years later. I was more fascinated by the views of RH, which is rare in new condos which usually have lousy facing. For view lovers, many would l die for the views from the unit i bought. The first owners of RH bought their condo at the peak when it was launched so they did not make very much.


WHY you din pick Mee Laksa earlier but went for RH earlir ?

kingkong1984
31-01-11, 11:25
Excellent point, when buying for rental, buy one than comes furnished and ready built. Views are the ultimate killer. A no brainer when it is 100k below valuation. Since rental anyway, age dun matter as long as can rent out. The key is on the rental yield. Better than FD many times.

South has got the Bay. East is over-crowded and expensive. (99LH sea facing 2000psf anyone?) West has future pricing thanks to Jurong Lakeside and magic of Vision. Northeast has NEX.

What about North? Apart from a KTP hospital, nothing else is coming (maybe just River Safari at zoo) iskandar, NSE, TSL, all these are just too far away into the future. North has the land to support bigger initiatives (3rd IR perhaps for our Malaysian friends?? :D) and I know the government can't keep squeezing their ambitious plans into the other packed areas.

Realised the last 2 lodged caveats for Palm Gardens (another LH condo in CCK) has almost breached the $700 PSF! And these are the decent 1200 sqft units. It is not even near to the MRT like Warren which are transacting at the low 7xx PSF.

I think the gaps betw the various developments in CCK has converged somewhat. Mee Laksa is transacting in the high $7XX psf or slightly above $800.

palm gardens is one of the few condos with a bowling alley. the warren definitely feels more crammed than palm gardens but in terms of location, palm gardens does not have much to offer compared to northvale or warren. The new ITE campus nearby looks quite impressive even though the students are mostly delinquents

palm garden quite old more than 10 years already but the space is big.. very quiet, well maintained old condo will remain atractive to some buyers, i went to palm garden before the landscape is big with bridges srecthing over curvy stretch of man made pond(river) with KOI swimming around and the BBQ pits are big with hut and big ceiling fan provided...underground carpark is huge not small like new condo where space is limited.... bolwing alley is there with laundry and super market all located beside it (in the condo)..the only thing I dont like is the PTE lift made me feel isolated...:2cents:

my gut feel is if you buy audi maybe can make some $....always buy the entry level unit to cut lost.

look at trade in value as well. sometimes dealer want to hit quoto and they will offer better deal. my colleague just bought her E180 at 162k. she trade in her honda jazz at 62k (2 years old) car. yr price was 64K when she first bou it with full cash.

2 year 2K transport cost - good deal rite?:p

with the current road conjestion in most expressway, I dont think car price is going to be cheap. the mrt train situation is just as bad. kids are literally not possible to board the train during peak hours will die of suffocation!

The 3 year to average out the quota (not sure if right term used) is just to help the traders and agents to cope with the sudden reduce in COEs supplies.

not confirmed all the cases. Palm were launched at v high prices before.

I heard very 1st round launch, the pricing were all > $700k. Then hit the ppty crisis in 1999. 2nd launch around $500k or below. Think developer cleared the units at lower prices...

Based on the current prices, if you will earn if you are the 1st owner at whoe got the unit at 2nd launch...

best is resale after 2nd lauch. heard some got the units as cheap as around $400k. The paper gain will be a full 100% based on current valuation!

oh this is what the rental will fetch at Choa chu kang till last year when rental starts to go up... but for those who want to sell at high price with tenancy especially low rental with lease term will be caught unless potential buyers dont mind accepting the low rental or terminating it...:D

With EC selling price from $700psf, gone are the days when upgrader could buy Mi Casa sub-sale in $7xxpsf.
Immediately after the EC bid, low-flr HDB-facing Mi Casa unit now from $800psf in sub-sales, while mid-flr pool-view unit is more than $920psf

Cos the EC is first EC launch in CCK since yr 2003, the demand will be high, so may be better to just wait till 2nd half of this yr for the EC launch, more value for $. In addition, developer need to complete EC build within 48 months, so no need wait too long unlike private condo which is complete build within 60 months.

Record land bid in ulu CCK! My guess for land was wrong but not for selling price. Selling price should be from $750 psf and upwards by the time it is launched. Anyway, you should see more transactions when Mi Casa TOPS! EC can bring along a immediate price increase.. hmm.... if EC land bid at $200 psf. Mee Sure Sour.

Ah yo Peter... stop putting down Mi Casa lah. You can view other people's quality of the show flat in this forum and also in myhometown forum. It appears that most were attracted by the quality of the showflat.. but of course, the actual quality depends on final product which will TOP early next year. What I heard was that Far East has put in a conscious effort to improve on their quality for the past 2 years or so.

Suddenly thread is hotter, all due to EC?

Some cheap sales done already, perhaps selling to buy EC 30 mths later. I dun think EC would have underground car park as that adds to the cost. EC on it's own will sell already, underground car park icing on the cake.

Anyway Mee Casa will soon be the newest and cheapest in the west but yet gives it's owner good profit or rental yield. Mark my words.

Same developer for CCK EC & Segar Road(Bkt Panjang) EC.

Value deal? Then buy EC, but could only do so one month after launch cos 95% quota reserved for 1st timer intially, under HDB rule.
Since this is the 1st EC launch in CCK since yr 2003, the demand from 1st timer likely to be higher.

But I think another recession is around the corner, if see past recessions always preceded with escalating high crude oil prices, which is what we are seeing now.
So...keep cash & wait for market correction in 2012.

Attached the transaction for Apr_May, after the MND cooling measures in Feb.
Can see those pool-view facing are highly sought after, low flr(5th) is sold at $816psf.
While those HDB facing is cheap, I understand that in June even 14th flr hdb facing is sold at below $800psf.
While those facing empty field(future EC), is condemned and sold at even cheaper price than HDB-facing.

The only new condo with real cheap price when TOP is 9 mth from now.

Can see those pool-view facing are highly sought after, low flr(5th) is sold at $816psf.
While those HDB facing is cheap, I understand that in June even 14th flr hdb facing is sold at below $800psf.
While those facing empty field(future EC), is condemned and sold at even cheaper price than HDB-facing.

The only new condo with real cheap price when TOP is 9 mth from now.
I cant even find high flr park facing....expecting those unit to fetch 9xxpsf upon top

Park facing view is going to be very nice when they build the park extension. Good penthouse layout, single level with relativey good views.

This project got a lot of park facing units for sale?

Cannot use the word 'Crash' in Singapore. Our country is special. The buyers all have strong holding power. The prices will only fall when these speculators wants to exit the market. If you talk about CCK area, the prices are held steady by HDB upgraders. If market crash, they lagi wont sell because they would be homeless.

Over the years, prices have risen (just citing as an example) about 15% but any correction would see a drop of about 5% and then starts to climb again. So each time you see prices are always higher and higher. I have experienced it myself and took the plunge. With profits in my pocket, it gives me more opportunities to buy at a realistic price.

Mostly importantly, we have very low unemployment rate and we have both husband and wife working. So i conclude: Buy within your means.

Holding power is related to interest rate, which is v low. Holding cost is low for investors n developers. JLD development is akin to monetary injection. End result is asset price inflation at JLD.

This one is near to the no 1 primary school, in terms of places available and no of applicants. South view. Many schools nearby too.. Looks like this is a 文昌 place. No worries about tenants... Within 1 km also... Plus near MRT. I would recommend this place for the EC buyers. Much better than blossoms and TOP earlier.

Mi casa appears to have quite a number of transactions over the past 3 months... twice the number compared to caspian to be exact. Unfortunately, the price appreciation for this project appears to be muted. the last transaction for a 3 room was only 950k (low floor and not sure which facing though) compared to more than 1 mil for caspian.

Potential upside capped due to EC (next to it) future launch?
IMHO for short/mid term (<10 years), Mi Casa only has slight advantage over the EC. For long term (>10 years), EC might outrun or even in psf with Mi Casa since the new EC is newer by at least 3 years to Mi Casa.

In either cases, Mi Casa price will be pull by EC's lower relative psf gravity. Provided we see the EC launch price above $850 or more, or Singapore national private estate index continue to heading north, I think it would be very challenging for Mi Casa to fetch higher prices.

Go check out the following EC projects and compare it with surrounding projects to figure out what would happened to Mi Casa's price vs new EC...

Windermere
Chestervale
Pinevale

actually, in my views, higher number of transactions is brought upon by the new EC. Owner sell fast(better run) and Buyers want to buy for self stay (Better Grab fast). Maybe parents buy Pte first and their sons and daughters buy EC. Then all stay near one another.

As to further upside... hard to say.. put another mega mall beside u and it will huat again.

One thing for sure.. it will not be cheaper than the EC as EC is the floor for it. Like a guarantee... unless super cock up in design which can only be seen upon TOP.

neutral on this. Bullish on JLD.

New EC price will be low, cos of opportunity cost. Imagine to buy EC at year end, then wait 3 yr for construction, then another 5 years for MOP, then only can sell to locals ( not even foreigner). Need to hold long long time for EC.

Upside for Mi Casa is limited, one reason could be the long queue of cars every Fri / terrible traffic. The new EC is even closer, just next to the land mark.

But Mi Casa is a value buy now, cos can move in half a year time.

Hey... pool view versus non pool view can differ as much as $100k leh.

Saw a few recent listings, very attractive prices.

This recession fear thing is nothing to fear for this project as it is supported by EC pricing. It will not be cheaper than Blossoms lah... same developer right? 100% it will not be the same price with Blossoms as this is nearer to MRT. Hint hint.

Mee Laksa can be rest assured that their prices are safe, just that buyers may want to buy EC due to the grant and for a wider selection. Destined to pick up again after next door EC's launched.

The price stays stagnant, not rising.
But the pool-view units(mid & low flr) are selling like hot cakes, cos the price is under-valued($8xxpsf).

According to this article, FEO is not that greedy for Mi Casa project.

Business Times - 23 Aug 2011
Some property sites pack them in, some leave more breathing space
By KALPANA RASHIWALA
(SINGAPORE) Five projects on sites sold under the 2006-2010 state land sales programmes will yield at least 50 per cent more units than the state's estimates for these sites indicated in the respective Government Land Sale (GLS) Programmes, shows a study by Savills Singapore.
At the other end of the spectrum, there are sites whose developers are building fewer units than the numbers indicated in the GLS Programme, including two projects from Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Holdings - The Vision in the West Coast area and Thomson Grand at Upper Thomson Road. The 361-unit Thomson Grand, released last month, does not have any one bedders. And two, three and four-bedders have relatively generous sizes, starting from 904 sq ft, 1,346 sq ft and 1,658 sq ft respectively. In addition, the project has strata terrace houses, with strata areas of 5,102-6,566 sq ft.
Thomson Grand's total 361 units is about 10 per cent shy of the 400-unit potential supply for the site on which it is being developed as stated in the H2 2009 GLS Programme.
Two Far East Organization projects will also yield fewer units than the estimate in the GLS Programme - Mi Casa condo at Choa Chu Kang Drive and the recently released Boathouse Residences at Upper Serangoon View. The latter is a joint venture with Frasers Centrepoint and Sekisui House.
Far East has stronger representation in the list of projects that will yield more units than estimated in the GLS Programme - with projects such as The Tennery in Bukit Panjang, The Greenwich in Seletar, Woodhaven in Woodlands and euHabitat at Jalan Eunos. All four projects have substantial proportion of total units between 500 sq ft and 800 sq ft, in some cases in what is dubbed SoHo-style one-bedders.
'Over the years, Far East Organization has built a large portfolio of successful themed and well-laid out residential projects. Last year, we introduced the SoHo apartments with higher floor-to-ceiling height at our mixed-use developments The Greenwich in Seletar Hills and The Tennery located above the Ten Mile Junction LRT Station, which were well received by homebuyers,' said Far East's chief operating officer for property sales, Chia Boon Kuah.
In June and July this year, the property giant unveiled two condo projects, Woodhaven and euHabitat, which not only have SoHo-style apartments and normal condo units but also incorporated strata townhouses. 'These different housing options . . . cater to the varying needs of home buyers,' Mr Chia said.
Market watchers note that foreigners (including Singapore permanent residents) may purchase strata landed homes within developments with condominium status without seeking approval from the Land Dealings (Approval) Unit.
Said Mr Chia: 'Our townhouses at Woodhaven and euHabitat have seen demand from both Singapore permanent residents and foreigners.'
Whether buyers are foreigners or Singaporeans, a strong draw of such strata landed homes within condo projects is the access to a wider range of facilities and a larger landscaped area.
Based on Savills' study, Kovan Grandeur at Tampines Road has the highest percentage of 'surplus units' over the estimates in the GLS Programme. The 74 apartments in the project are 111 per cent higher than the 35 units stated in the H1 2010 GLS Programme.
'As the site for Kovan Grandeur was planned for either a landed or apartment project, the GLS Programme's estimated supply for the site could have been based on a landed development, resulting in the substantial discrepancy between the actual number (74 units) and estimated number (35 units),' suggests Savills Singapore research head Alan Cheong.
Other projects in the 2006-2010 GLS sites with the actual number of units exceeding the estimate in the GLS Programme by over 50 per cent include The Woods at Westwood Avenue (86 per cent 'surplus' units), The Tennery (69 per cent), Suites at Orchard (57 per cent) and Skysuites@Anson (53 per cent).

Have received update fr developer, expected TOP is Apr 2012.
6 more months to go...

With latest record EC selling price at Arc Tampines, after the ceiling raised to $12K, the EC adjacent to Mi Casa is likely to be expensive too.
This would provide solid base support for Mi Casa increasing sub-sale price, in next 6 months.

yes.... Mi Casa will fall during these few months before the plot beside is launched. When it is well designed and launch price is high, say $700 psf and above. Mi Case should be able to command $800 psf and above for non pool view units.

If its launched lower, then God bless. $600 psf will screw them.

my guess, EC launched same or higher than Arc@ Tampines prices.

Arc@Tampines price-list 2-bdrm ~$741psf to $875psf, 3-bdrm ~$693psf to $810psf.
So...on average is more than $750psf.

If his prediction is close to actual, the EC at CCK should be at average higher range of $7xxpsf.
With Mi Casa at 10% premium, priced from mid-range of $8xxpsf, soon......

Actually now where is not over price? :confused:

With the influx of so many EC options and BTOs, and the bad economic news constantly pounding on the papers and TV, do you think there will be some correction soon?

But I still feel Mi Casa is overpriced as it looks like Seng KANG BTO flats. Nothing very outstanding on the structure, plain vanilla white and some funny looking blue and red color boxes leh...

Talked to a few agents before, seller asking for high, buyer give lower than expected prices.

Maybe you are right to a certain extend. I reckon the EC launch beside will be about same price as Blossoms? If it looks much nicer than Mi Casa ( very likely), which will HDB upgrader choose?

Anyway, market forces will determine. I notice Warren prices already on the down trend...

Maybe you are right to a certain extend. I reckon the EC launch beside will be about same price as Blossoms? If it looks much nicer than Mi Casa ( very likely), which will HDB upgrader choose?

Anyway, market forces will determine. I notice Warren prices already on the down trend...

Not really..... still up or maintaining...

the S$650psf is a 1,8XXsqft unit.....

the usual psf for the remaining units are S$7XX to S$8xxpsf

My apology to the mi casa owner, I think tis project exterior look really CMI. Those newer HDB across the whole SG look much nicer than the project.

Barely close but some how it looks much nicer from picture. Personally, i think the exterior looks blend in with the HDB flats as surrounded and it does not gave me the "oh, that a condo" first impression. If I'm not aware about MU Casa, I may actually tot it's just another HDB wor..

Anyone can say no further upside or downside.
Let transaction data prove it.

Most recent sub-sale data in Sep shows mid-flr park view facing units sold at resonable price ($821psf), but low-flr HDB facing units suffered low price($770psf). And very high-flr empty field facing units(EC side) showed fire-sale price, even cheaper than the Warren.

Moving forward, the price is likely stay flat.
One main reason is because more land are free-up by the former Keat Hong camp, opposite Palm Gardens.
You could see that whole stretch of land now has HDB logo.

The EC beside Mi Casa is too close to adjacent landmark, hence every Fri bad traffic congestion, I doubt the EC will sell well.

Hold cash & wait for next global recession likely end this year.

Yes....it's #14-25.

Even very high-flr HDB facing 2-rm (990sqft) is selling cheap.
My fren bought one (above 13th flr) hdb facing at slightly below $800psf recently.
Mi Casa is under value for hdb-facing and EC-facing unit.
After TOP(Apr 12), who knows....price will be at its peak?

As mentioned, if the situation comes when Mi casa is selling at LOW price..i will start to look at other District first for bargain or opportunities...especially as not buying for own stay.:D

there are many districts around with better potential or up side when situation becomes better:D

scary to think for those who want to let go if buy at high price during cherry time might have problem finding buyers when situation bad...as opportunities abound at that time...when must I buy yours unless the price spiral down even more:D

The EC next to mi casa is no good in terms of location.
Too close to adjacent landmark, less than 100 metres.
Every Fri, severe traffic congestion.

Greece will go broke anytime, this time round the global recession will be worse. It's bad timing for the EC to launch. But developer have no choice to hold longer time, cos the rule says completion date for EC to be within 4 years from land tender date.
