Jasonyap, how do you know the indicative buy price is already 1.3k?

Also, I would presume that its for the smaller unit up to 3 bedroom size rather than the 4 bedder?

Also would like to thank Lovelle in advance once he uploads the latest pictures of WB.

This is just a listing, not transacted..

On propertyguru, there are many sellers askig for such high psf.

Sellers can quote whatever prices, but bottomline is, doable or not???

So far, the highest psf is that of S$1402 for a 1141 sq ft unit..

they are starting to build the mcsp . those blocks on the east are mostly reached tthe 19th flr, they are doing those facing river n blocks besides DR also more then half way.

but interior may take a while to complete...usually like that, they put further TOP date in case something happen, see what happen to gilstead

This image was taken last Friday 10/6/11.

This was taken in front of the HDB block.

The building on the left is block 76, if I am not wrong, that extreme left stack should be 11.

The extreme right building is block is 70, the partially blocked building is block 72. These 2 blocks are the nearest to Dakota Residences.

I will try to take some from the front of the canal when I next drop by there.:cheers1:

I think it is just not the sheer voulume of houses that will TOP in 2013 that will lead to a fall in the property prices in Singapore.

It has to be a confluence of other reasons namely world economy deteriorating, higher interests rates, local housing policies and of course the record number of units available in 2013.

Having said that, I reckon WB would be "slightly" better off in that its location (just outside city and proximity to MRT) will somehow be buffeted to a certain extent.

Compared to launches that took place after WB, those are launched at record or near record levels.

My 2:2cents: worth.:jogging:

devilplate

tats y i dun expect anyone to sell below cost for WB if smthing bad happen...

but it will definitely be better to TOP b4 major supply comes in.....weaker hands/speculators will be trying to offload their units 6mths b4 and after TOP

So when UOL schedules WB's TOP as 2Q 2013, expect it to be 1Q 2013.

Thats what I think too...

MR's view of the sea is definitely much better than WB's..

Can anyone tell me from what floor onwards, can one gets a clear view above the HDB blocks?

My view (pun intended) is 14th floor and above.:)

Sorry, I think I need to clarify further.

There are maybe 3 blocks that have balconies facing the landed properties (sure no blockages) and their room's windows facing the HDB blocks. I am referring to the views here...

I tend to agree with acevian too...I can imagine those units having crosswinds and no blockages at all..

Hope I have made my case clearer. :)

it was quite hot! i still remember PH all sold out quickly...got a buyer come in only want to see PH...heard its sold out U turn and left! hahaha...

all the 1+study sold out before launch. demand was very high due to the good facing for such small units. usually small units get lousy facing one...

dakota res (DR) next door just TOP but don't have 1 or 1+study so obviously demand was very high. cos of WB DR prices went up to $1100+psf or more... stacks 27 and 30 launched earlier...almost sold out then stacks 1 and 4 released...

last unit was #01-31...left unsold for a while...but also snapped up in the end...

1+ study are stacks 8, 13, 16, 21 and 24. Stacks 13 and 21 can see MBS if high enough (maybe #8 and above but I cannot be sure on this). Stacks 8, 16 and 24 face towards Playground @ Big Splash. all 1+study units above #12 i'm confident can see pocket sea view.

The houses towards the south are all landed so nothing high to block view.

Carpark is 6 storey high, but beyond that is HDB flat #12 high... only blk 70 is facing broadrick sec so quite unblocked for lower floors. so i will prefer the views to the south rather than the north. just too bad my loan approval came too late and all 1+study sold out already. i had to settle for stack 27 high floor to clear the HDB block. stacks 4 and 30 face the next block. stack 1 was launched later so the psf was higher than stack 27 (note that stack 1 lower floors unblocked as compared to stack 27).

Well as for your "I'm very sure there is a higher Psf done for 624 sq ft"

$1418 psf.

The $1471 psf unit is at a much lower floor than the $1418 psf unit ie by

half, meaning for example one on 4th floor, the other one on 2nd floor.

The WB buyers are amongst the last batch of flippers as they were still not tied down by many of the CMS, including the 4yr SSD. So likely there will be more subsales towards TOP.

Bigger units should have good demands as many families would be interested to buy them for own stay after TOP. Smaller units may not appeal as much to investors in view of the many CMs in place ....

i think they are giving you that kind of price to excite you and get you to sell. if i just sold my 1 bedroom at $1415psf what's the chance of someone offering you the same psf for a much bigger unit?

unless your unit is superb view with no west sun...maybe...

Agents have started calling my home at Dakota Residence asking whether I want to sell.

They are fishing (learnt from one of the ex-property agent in the forum) for contacts. But the range quoted for 1830sqft is around $1400-1450psf.

Maybe waterbank brought in the demand for dakota.

There are indeed transactions at $1400psf for the 1830sf units over the past couple of months, and i believe those are mid-high floor units with the MBS/City views.

If my memory doesnt fail me, about 30% of DR 4BR units are owned by the same person who is a developer. He is now slowly selling off his 4BRs one by one, asking around 1450psf.

So what is the return like? I remembered developers sold at about 1200psf for MM units??
After minus all cost, kind of like 100k profit??

Although 100k is like very small .. still better than stock market performance I guess

Thanks for the info. :) Maybe it's the last chance to sell at this price...
Was thinking maybe the stadium and surrounding developments will give another price boost in 2014.

Anyway, must find another place to stay before i can do anything.

On the contrary, I hope that area will be preserved as it offers tranquility and history of iconic structure such as the airport/stadium.

This whole area needs rejuvenation, added vibrancy and new landmarks, apart from the Sports Hub. Having just the hawker centre and NTUC bring in just "certain" hours of vibrancy and thats it.

I dare say its the convenience of having the MRT station at your doorsteps and the superb location at the city fringe that is holding up the price.

Just wonder what are the plans for the now vacant huge former army camp site..

Just my :2cents: ..

haha, the view is beautiful and the surrounding is indeed quite nice to own stay.. near city too..

If its also freehold, then the place would have been awesome.

I think 1.6M for a 3 bedroom there is quite easy to achieve as thats the benchmarks set by many buyers already.

Now the challenge is selling it at 1.7M. But the high floors units have an advantage lah, however, thats also why the developers sold it to them at a high price too..

Initially, i thought the subsale was quite quiet but now picking up...

there was even one 2 bedder unit at ground flr which was not sold till end of 2010. why your buyer didn go for it ? uol offered voucher rebate or something like that for that unit

i was even tempted to go for the
$885 psf in May 2010 for a 1,615-sqft unit



but quantum was too high...

If u track back to the beginning of this thread, 1200psf plenty of ppl said too expensive.

Now ppl see Punggol jurong also call for 1100, then start to accept 1400psf for this, and regret not buying at launch. Classic definition of "miss the boat".

There was this businessman as reported in the Edge magazine, he bought 3 units. He bought one for him and wife, 1 each for his 2 sons. He just love the location. He mentioned that he intends to sell his landed properties and move in when it TOPs.

A lot of people thought then that 1200 psf was too steep a price to pay for this location and now it seems to be quite a bargain. When the 2013 Master Plan is revealed next year, Kallang/Paya Lebar area will be mentioned again.

With the Sports Hub comes a lot of redevelopment programs and rejuvenatation, that I am sure of.

This thread is much lively now and agents are contacting owners to enquire if they want to cash out...

Your buyers are locals or foreigners?

Rental yield should be good, on top of capital gains.

Assuming rental of $5500 for the 1.65m unit, yield is a mouth watering 4%!!!

Mainly locals, buying for own stay.
Ya, the rentals are good too... and if you got a unit above #15.. awesome. But I will get this place mainly to stay though.. the rentals at Waterina is still higher due to its cheaper quantum. But regardless, good buy.

I have seen the penthouse unit in Dakota Residence and I tell you the views are amazing.

I was told from the 13th floor up, one's view would have cleared the HDB blocks already.

That is why which level a unit is, its crucial.

You are right, the view up there is fantastic. You are also assured of the view in many years to come, unlike cases like in The Bayshore and The SeaView.

amk,

at that time, i was also hesitating. Went round island to look at all the deals within my budget and advice given was to go for new launch at that time.

also found this one within and below my budget. since i don't drive a car to work, mrt factor is very important and even more important when it is sheltered all the way and less then a few steps of walk. The train ride wld be even more fantastic , less then 4 stops to city ....why do i wan to go to punggol / sengkang....

one more point,,, the no bay window layout is very good at that time. Nothing beats this feature even if developer give other freebies . I very practical...
