Actually the north facing units have the best view. If u are taking mrt from amk to bishan, u can see the top few floors of blossoms and pac mondrian near the horizon. :)

URA are based on caveats lodged and the units are from Streetsine. Can't possibly have the same unit with 2 caveats lodged if its the same sale right? :beats-me-man:

You're looking at buying something in the area? Think the Woodleigh Waterworks site may not be so soon.

The only site confirmed for sale in 2Q2010 is opposite the Potong Pasir MRT at the junction of Upper Serangoon Road / Pheng Geck Avenue. (http://www.h88.com.sg/article/More+property+cooling+measures%3A+8+mass+market+sites/)

The woodleigh waterworks seems to be there forever, hidden and forgotten.

the upp serangoon road/ Pheng Geck Ave IMO is probably going to be another one st michael (small piece of land and 150+ units), but looking at today's prices and prices 6-18 months down the road it is going to be out of reach. Not forgetting that it is super near the MRT station.

It is quite interesting to see how the empty land ard woodleigh turnout as it will affect the prices of the condos there.

try vertical you will know... the panoramic mode is actually useless... :D allow more overlapping area between photos... use stitching software. auto stitch. wide angle option.

vertical can capture more objects, and you can crop the extra top and bottom.

But still i'm surprised QingDao offers basement carpark which means higher cost... They could have FEO similar open-air carpark concept given the same building ceiling clearance as 8@W which is on elevated grounds.

Wow, that is a scary thought. :scared-4:
The lady from the bank did also assure me that for mass market type homes they almost never ask for top-up.
But things do seem to be getting more uncertain

Of cos, like all owners, I hope that day will never come.... but it's getting harder to predict....

From what I understand, if bank starts to call for top up, those who borrow 90% will be called upon first, followed by those who borrowed 80%....

07-06-10, 15:04
I heard it is like if borrow 90% and then prices/ valuation drop 15%, the bank might ask you to top up 5%. That's why the 90% is first in line. (anybody can confirm?)

I heard the same.

That's why it's a scary thought that prices may crash to lower than 20% of the price...

Think about those who got burned in the last round.... some never recovered... but anyway, I dun think we bot at the peak (since there are people who bot at $1100 or $1200 for suburb dev.) but its still something we should be careful of and think about....

I guess it should be easy to put a price on our units if Qing Dao's project sells... What if it doesn't?

And (touchwood!) what if our project TOP at a time when the sentiments are bearish instead?

I'm just trying to play devil's advocate here.... since most people are only talking about the good times in the future...

Whenever there is Bear, there is also a rainbow of honey... Just dun get over-stretch on ppty investing & that would be fine..

At the end of the day, leverage remains as a double-edged sword. But as long as one is not over-leveraged and has sufficient cash buffer to service any 10-20% top up, then should be quite alright I guess.

The high end segment is more vulnerable. If one buys MBR at $3300psf, the risk exposure is far larger than someone else who buys mass market condos at $600-$850psf. For the banks to perform cash top-ups (esp for individuals who have been prompt in servicing their loans) on mass market properties may lead to mass hysteria and pandemonium. The likelihood of this happening should be pretty low.

Komo
07-06-10, 21:12
The issue is how bad will the crash be? Will current owners be asked to top up their loan by the bank? (If this happens, economy must be really baaaaaddddd!!!!!) And will the price recover to the range that owners paid?

History will just repeat itself all over again!
Those who bought over $1000psf were hard hit during the previous downturn. That's why I discipline myself to pay 20%.
80% loan is quite safe.

Great news! I suppose we can quote a higher psf for our units going forward. Question is how come there are still developer sale now? I thought the development has been sold out?
