Sure regret like hell...:hell-hath-no-fury: :hell-hath-no-fury: :hell-hath-no-fury:

So far in from main road and no shelter...rain or shine also got problem...

So small unit...how to stay...

How much can they rent out for such a small unit...

what is the rental yield...

people buy that area coz it is near city and considered central. those mickey mouse unit buyers are banking on the fact that studios can fetch roughly $2k rental and if the unit cost $400k, it is a 6% rental yield and I think is not bad at all. buyers are flocking to buy RCR with a vengeance since prime is out of reach to most. Also heard BH developer releasing stack 6 3 bedders at 9xxpsf to 1000psf. I think that area has potential for capital appreciation although some might differ in opinion.

They are so many option and units about the same size or slightly bigger studio in newton, river vally, balestier and CBD area that are renting out at only $1,500 to $2,000 per month.

What make these people think they can rent out at $2,000 with such area.:tsk-tsk: :tsk-tsk: :tsk-tsk:

With so many units wanted to rent out at the same time, the rental will become very competitive...:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Yup, i oso aware that lately number of friends' friends and colleagues are flocking to buy RCR like st michael, potong pasir, balestier and woodleigh. :) Good for ppl who had bought unit in these areas.

actually why be surprised at all? 1000psf on such tiny sq ft quantum is not big at all, not that many units either so sold out in 1/2 a day is no big deal.

Airstream is too far in St Micheal area. Any potential tenants would be put off totally. Just across the PIE, One Leicester, Intero, Platinum Edge, Woodsville28 are all within 1 - 3 minutes from Potong Pasir MRT stn. How to get tenant ? Mickey mouse unit too small ? How to sell in future - to bachelor and spinsters also too far for them to consider !!!! ll these people are real :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

potong pasir is 4 mrt stops to dhoby ghaut and boon keng is 3. OL and all woodsville condos closer to mrt but are 99 years. St micheal condos freehold and 999yrs but 7-8min walk to mrt. if i were buying that area, i would go for st michael still coz plus points more than negative. 8 min to mrt is bearable and considered near by international standards. Singaporeans are generally a pampered lot so even 500m away still considered far. I have lived in England and Scotland for years and even old ladies in these places can put singaporeans to shame. In England, walking 2km to and from school or market on a daily basis is considered a norm.

You got your info wrong liao !.

With the exception of Woodsville28 being 99LH, all others on Leicester rd (One Leicester, Intero, Platimun Edge, Parc Ashton etc) are FH tenure. :doh:

my mistake to include OL. So basically it boils down to proximity to town and whether buyers want to buy nearer or further from town. I am not sure if potong pasir is still considered Central, but St Michael sure is. Anyway it is really interesting to see how prices are moving in these up and coming areas

ST Micheal area is too deep in from main road, ulu and dark, not that accessible especially at night. St Michael road and Mar Thomar rd is long and winding.

The Leicester Rd community is just across the PIE side of thing. It's certainly just as close to town compared to St Michael areas. As matter of fact, if you come out of Potong pasir MRT, turn immediate to the left and you can see and are reachable to any of the Condo n Apartments there in less than 3 minutes. The areas have got many tenants of different nationalities and own-stay occupiers. Next door is the ST Andrew Village. Last available boutique FH development there is Parc Ashton. :D

st michael area in 12 cheaper than some of the new launches in potong pasir D13. If i were to choose, I would go for D12 to D13 anytime. Different district numbers also important in making investment decisions, so wise investors can decide which is better.:D

Not all areas in Dist 12 are cheaper eg the Vista Residences and The Arte.

ST Michael areas is cheap only for 1 reason - the areas is too deep in and not so accessible by MRT and driving or taxis access is a big problem. Don't think any potential tenants can tahan the kind of night walk home. Even residences have to personally escorts children to nearest bus-stop in wee hours of morning or at nite.

Dun disagree with u about walking long distance in UK/Scotland....however SG weather is hot and humid.....

As for D12 or D13, it's all about location, location, location.....proximity to MRT is definitely a big draw vs the district per se.....

check ur facts right lah...st michael is joining to serangoon rd, so when you say deep in, what are u referring to? OSM guardhouse in St michael is just by the main road so what tokking you? Airstream is also less than 3 min from the main road so what tokking you oso? BH in mar thoma rd dont need to walk out to st michael b4 going to mrt coz can cut through st georges to mrt in 8 min, so what far u tokking about? since you trying to show u know the area well, let me ask you a simple question. what is the shortest way to get to whampoa from Mar Thoma Rd without wheels? are you going to say it is damn far?

8@woodleigh is opposite a cemetary, so what location tokking you? D12 closer to city than D13, so what location tokking you? 8 min to mrt versus 5 min to mrt, so how big a difference? 99yr in D13 and 999yrs or FH in D12, of course a big difference coz for a cheaper price in St michael, owners there do not have to face depreciating asset value if intend to rent out for 10 or 20 years.

Comparing OSM and others inside St Michael road - OSM just by the main road is certainly more accessible to bus, taxis or walk to MRT (and therefore acceptable to potential tenants and stay-on. For the rest you can add at least another 5 minutes journey time, not mentioning the difficulty of nite or early morning movement. It is so obvious fact - juz ask a potential tenants or self-stay not need to self-denial :banghead:

just admit it if you do not know the area well. You do not even knw that BH in Mar Thoma road is approx the same distance to boon keng Mrt as OSM (Go n study ur map b4 arguing wth people). BH is also the nearest condo by walking distance to Whampoa estate (just 3min) and Toa Payoh (just 10min). I bet u must still be scratchng ur head figuring out where is where, lol

I own a top floor unit in OL facing City-view. In time to come I will see BH and Airstream rising from the ground. From my perspective, I can see distance of Airstream /BH/St Michael regency to OSM. I cycle to this areas .. so don't have not say I don't know the area well. It is distance and proximity to public transport esp for children and women at nite and early morning that matters ..

You are trying to save face, arent you? despite having cycled around the area, your knowledge of St michael and mar thoma still sux. Proximity to MRT from OSM and BH is 7-8 min so proximity part not a big issue here since distance would be like walking from Orchard Ion to Orchard Point. St Michael is not a vice area and there arent many foreign workers lurking around unlike in little india and kitchener rd, so i dont know what is ur concern. As for amenities, BH and OSM are minutes walking distance to amenities in Boon Keng, Bendemeer, Whampoa and even to Toa Payoh, so that is not an issue for people staying there. The fact is St Michael, however you dislike the place, is still a district number better than OL and a few kilometres nearer to the city than OL. Dont bring on the crap about St Michael not being safe for kids and women, coz i can say the same for the insignificant area that you live...:doh:

OMG you can walk to Toa Payoh (2 km at least) across CTE then cut thru PIE in just 10 minutes !!! and OL being separated only by the PIE (100metres) according to you is a few kilometres further to town than St Michael area. I can see you r really defending/justifying your perspective/ dimension of distance real real hard !!!.

Try calling a taxi into St Michael est at nite or early morning and the taxi driver will think twice. You have to pay extra for school bus for young children. I have seen fathers (never mothers) accompanying their sec 1 sons / daughters to the bus stop opp st Andrew Junior schools (Jln Toa Payoh/PIE) everying early morning at 6.00 am. They have walk thru St Michael est , cut across the bridge to Moonstone Lane side and from the bush areas to either of the the bus stop along Jalan Toa Payoh. For info, Moonstone side have a lot of old shop houses , rented by foreign workers. Verify the fact for yourself..

:doh: :doh: you still dont know the area well enough. Moonstone and st michael is separated by a river and there are also condos in moonstone itself. if the residents in moonstone do not have any problems, why would residents in st michael and mar thoma face problems? have you read any news in the papers about crime taking place in st michael, or mar thoma area? i think you are just speaking out of some butt logic. in terms of physical distance, moonstone lane is nearer to Leicester Rd than it is to OSM or BH in St Michael Rd, which is the reason why i say go and study the map. Since your place is just walking distance from moonstone, why then did you buy OL? arent you contradicting yourself? As for toa payoh, OMG. Distance from BH to Chuang Ling Cheng Huang Temple in 184 Jalan toa Payoh is just 900m, so what i dont know what you are talking about. I do not even live in that area but i know the place so much better than an OL resident. I think you should be ashamed of urself....

when we were talking about proximity to toa payoh, we are talking about the closest proximity from BH to toa payoh (that is when the person first step foot into toa payoh). From BH to the nearest point in toa payoh is less than 900m, you are just trying to save face by using a further part of toa payoh to justify ur argument...:tongue3: BH and OSM is estimated 800m to Boon Keng MRT and averaging at 1min per 100m walking speed, it would take 7-8min and most can definitely walk faster than that. Unless you go around on a walking stick, then maybe making 100m in 1 min might be a big problem for you. at least i base my arguments on facts and sound logic not some butt logic of urs...:tongue3:

You have lost ground on your all arguments - The temple is 900m at Jalan Toa Payoh (that is consider Kim Keat area not Toa Payoh proximity). When people talk abt Toa payoh, it is abt the Toa Payoh HUB/Central area.).

There's no need for me to save face here ? over what ? Ha Ha you are the one defending your lost arguments and losing - you should stop and "save your own face" actually. This is my last response to you on this matter :doh: .

You are making yourself look more like an ignaramus and boo boo. Jalan Toa Payoh is part of Toa Payoh estate, go and study the URA Masterplan and stop embarrassing urself further. There is not such thing as Kim Keat estate in the URA masterplan. Beside toa Payoh estate is Hougang estate so Shuang Ling Temple can only belong to either, obviously it is toa payoh estate. :doh: :doh: :doh:

I view these as healthy arguments as people can debate pros and cons. I understand CDL has accumulated significant land in Belestier (some distance from these St Michael). Are they going to push up the prices in this area?

Some interesting exchanges here. Juz remind me four years back, my hubby and I did look at Callista, Rio Garden and even Moonstone Residences. Somehow for some reason we did'nt buy. Eventually when One Leicester was soft launched in April/May 2006 during election time, my hubby put a cheque for a 3-bedder without even telling me. I guess he is great supporter of Potong Pasir Chiam S T then. Today, I am glad he made a great buy for a
FH Condo juz 2 minutes walk from MRT station. :D:D

There are FH private properties next to MRT, but very few of these available, particularly those with reasonable facilities (vs those apartments). Some like in Orchard are very expensive. The next available I know of is around Newton & Novena MRT stations (District 11).

Hi did'nt see your message earlier. Anyway, congratulation to you also. Your stack has great view of S'pore Flyer, Marina Bay Sands IR , Sails . must have fantastic view of fireworks last nite !!

Yeah, 2006 was less frenzy period to think and buy rationally, not to get excited and carried away as there was less launches then. We want city-fringe living ideally in a FH full condo facility, ideally close to MRT or with easy accessibility to public transport.

Actually Moonstone Residences was the closest to us buying as it is nearer main road and just across PIE to Potong Pasir MRT Stn. But it is still an apartment status with less 100 unit with small pool. The Callista by Keppel land is way too far in Mar Thomas rd. Rio Garden is half-way of St michael rd. You don't drive or be able to use a car all the time. With two young daughters, I can't imagine them them walking from Boon Keng Stn or Potong Pasir stn after a night shopping in town or back from secondary school or their JC.

Even with the so-called short-cut routes, it is easily more than 20 mins fast walking through either st George est or Moonstone lane side to St Michael area - maneuvering through few HDB carparks, void decks, children playgrounds not forgetting cutting across two bridges across either the Kallang or Whampoa canals on the way. In a typical HDB heartland, it is definitely easier to move a wheel-chair based person compared to this mixture terrains of old private estate and HDB.

We also thought of about our purpose then - buying to stay and for future rental. I guess we were lucky. My hubby must have known about the possible freehold launches just across the Leicester rd community areas.

Five Regent Court units sold for more than $650 psf
The Edge
Monday, 19 October 2009

There was a flurry of transactions at the 25-year-old Regent Court recently. The 49-unit freehold condominium failed to sell en bloc for $34 million, or $528 psf, after it surfaced last December that the stamp duty for the en-bloc sale agreement in 2007 had not been paid by Regent Development, a nominee of Landquest Pte Ltd. Earlier, some owners also opposed the deal as they claimed that the sales proceeds could not cover their purchase price.

As it turns out, the failed en-bloc deal has enabled owners to ride on the recent rise in property prices. In particular, Regent Court has benefited from the strong take-up rate of new mass-market projects like Airstream @ St Michael’s Road. Property buyers who had come to view Airstream’s showflat would have driven past Regent Court, which is located along Serangoon Road, the main road leading to St Michael’s Road. In August, all 70 units at Airstream, which is developed by Millennium Homes, were sold within day, via balloting at an average price of $1,100 psf. Nearby, developments such as St Michael Regency, One St Michael’s and yet-to-be-completed Beacon Heights have been sold for an average of $800 psf this year, although latest sales saw some units breach $900 psf.

Regent Court, which is located near the Boon Keng MRT station, has had a total of eight transactions from August to Sept 25, according to caveats lodged with URA Realis. Only three units changed hands over the seven years before 2007.

For the period of Sept 18 to 25, there were five transactions priced from $670 to $707 psf. For instance, a 1,108 unit on the eighth floor went for $780,000, or $704 psf.

With prices breaching the $650 psf level, several homeowners were able to sell at a profit. For instance, a 1,528 sq ft unit on the third floor went for $1.08 million, or $707 psf. The original owner had purchased it for $805,000, or $527 psf, in 1997. In August, a 968 sq ft unit on the sixth floor was sold for $700,000, or a high of $723 psf. The original owner had purchased it for only $555,000, or $573 psf, in 1995.

A property agent, who recently sold a unit at Regent Court, notes that demand for mass-market projects with good amenities remains strong.
