FLAMINGO VALLEY, FH

[Sleepyhead]

Got this SMS today:

Dear XXX,

We are launching the actual unit show-flat of the penthouse at Flamingo Valley this weekend on the 13th October. We are at present more than 90% sold with all 2&3 Bdrm units fully sold out.

[Pikachu1245]

Exactly my sentiments, but seems like people don't care about that, all those that are being snapped up now have high plot ratios... eco, kovan regency, etc....

The ONLY important thing to most buyers in Singapore is MRT station... so long as the property is within 5 minutes walking distance to an MRT, it will sell out regardless of price or plot ratio.

:doh:

It will also sell out easily if got reservoir view e.g. Skies Miltonia, Miltonia Residences, Waterfront key,Waterfront waves etc. .....:cool:

Hi forumers, I am looking into investing a small unit in the east coast area. It looks that FV might be a choice, the remaining unit are mainly the 1+1 now for FV. Looking at the layout plan, to me, it is fairly functional, and I love its big windows. I am just thinking if the study room has a fixed table there, otherwise it might be able to put a small bed in. Additionally, the Siglap area has no big and new project with full facilities like what FV offered, any comments on the potential rental income for 1 bed? Thanks a lot.

In terms of quantum, the 1 bedders at FV are not worth it now for the price to pay. Unless they still have the dual key 2 bedders for sale.

[icer_sun]

Hi price, thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, I did check out earlier and all 2bds and 3bds has been gone for some time. I have holding power and want to do a bit long-term investment, say 5-8 years, my bottom line is that I expect at least it should beat the inflation in the coming years.

I checked couple of new projects and try to find some project that myself also like and get attractive to instead of just only focus on high rental return. To be honest, not that many. I am a bit disappointed that most of the projects nowadays looks very boring and similar, especially those OCR new project near MRT...

My criteria is FH, big floor-plan, quantum w/i 900k, new project (top w/i 2 yrs), do you have any recommendations?

let's touch on the points you have listed.

You see, 5-8 years is not a very long term when it comes to property investment. the ERL would probably have not even started building since TSL will complete in 2020 -2022.

If you talk about holding power, if anyone has little of this, they shouldn't even be thinking in the first place. then again in Singapore if u have the holding power, all properties will reap returns. the question is how long and when.

furthermore when u start looking at one bedders these days, u must not mix ur personal feelings with what the market wants. u like fv design, fh, layout etc. will ur tenants care? @ 900k u are losing out to so many MMs sold at 500-600k in TK or even suites at east coast down the road. MMs tenants look for convenience not so much of size. so what ur one bedder is bigger? how much more rent can u ask for? 4k? 5k?

I don't have recommendations but definitely won't get A one bedder @900k in FV

[icer_sun]

price, appreciate your advice, will seriously think about it and keep watching for a while.

Most of the time, the tenants for 1 bed do not own a car, and thus, FV is not an ideal choice for them.

[bakasa2002]

Hmm, Price and Laguna, gd points provided about insights of 1br tenant profile. Learnt a lesson today. ;)

[radha08]

my take on FV is people either hate it or love it...:cool: ..i used to love it when i was staying in siglap...but now that its NO longer affordable/availible(3 bedder gnd flr)...i dont love it anymore..i NOT using word hate just DONT love it...:D

PS:for the record i was SO close to buying a 3 bedder gnd unit early this year but when i called agent next day to go down he told me just sold...then he offered me a unit few doors away with BIGGER PES at 150k more...that was real turn -off...anyway as usual just my 2:2cents: story...someothers have had more TRAUMATIC experiences in purchasing a unit there..:D :D :D

It is about 1150psf, so quite enticing and also a plus for me cos' no patio, only a small balcony space. Ya, you are right with the light but the stack directly facing the court and looking at Park East will have it worst but is selling at a much higher psf. :)

Nice view, rem an agent show me photos taken fr rooftop before but at that point it was out of public access and the view is really great. If I am not wrong, these units are the one facing the matured gardens. The PH unit probably overlook the garden and yield this nice view. ;)

[icer_sun]

Nice view! Anybody has the view pic on the opposite direction, the one facing inside project towards north?

yes this block is next to it....but actually its not obvious because it is covered by thick vegetation lol..but off course the psychological effect that its next to it lingers...haha

[leesg123]

Any penthouse unit at telok kurau facing still road will have similar view lah. Lol nothing unique to FV.

[danntbt]

Nice view, but the terrace looks terrible with very segmented space.

its squarish actually...the part where the agent and ppl are standing is actually not accessible when the project is completed...

FV is on high ground..in fact its on a hill..thats why the view is very clear..

[bakasa2002]

One point to note, I find Siglap Hill extremely hot the last few things I visited, so try to avoid west sun facing units if you can.

yup generally siglap is hot i only feel it now that i moved out from siglap...:o....but given the peace and quiet...its worth living in the heat..:)

[zeamybro]

In general, I guess low rise areas not surrounded by tall buildings would be hot ... Another project which i foresee would be very hot is EuHabitat.

[oda]

Did you find out what's left? How many more units?

bro sleepy i called this malay agent in FV. It seem like they left with 30 odd units. Mainly the 1+1, penthouses and 3 bedroom dual keys. This guy not bad still got review on him at propertyguru. may link up with him as my sister is considering a studio in FV.

Hmm, means Archi will also be hot. ;)

[zeamybro]

Hmm, means Archi will also be hot. ;)

Archi's front has many tall HDBs... and rear has the greeneries which are seated on higher grounds... so its different. Mabbe the strata house side would be less shielded

[icer_sun]

Made up my mind, will grab a 1+1 at FV, good luck to myself and all FV owners and fans : ) Looking forward to TOP and ERL Siglap stop location disclosing....

Thank you buddy. Yesterday while I was walking in the narrow street at middle town of NYC, feeling the concretes jungle of super high building which make the sunshine so scare and precious even on a sunshine day...I realized that Manhattan's today might be tomorrow of SGP...where the free sunshine at low-rise without tall buildings in sight will become priceless for a metropoliton... at that moment, I was awake...


Good luck and congrats in advanced!

[bakasa2002]

Icer sun bro, can I know what's the price and quantum of 1+1 in FV?

[icer_sun]

Hi Bro, it is 517sqf for 1+1, price ~1600-1650psf

M3 (million)
1996
Jul 143,675.2

2012
Jul P 466,368.3

The money in circulation is 2.26X more than 1996 :eek: :banghead: :tsk-tsk:
In 1996, a balmoral road 3r condo cost 1.8m, in 2012, flamingo valley dual key 1.6m

cheap boh?? :p

haven't put inflation into the equation yet.
1996 chicken rice $2, 2012 $3.50 minimum. inflation almost 100% leow.
maybe some economics expert here can discount the FV 1.6m to 1996 money and tell us how much it actually costs. we are still far far far away from the 1996 peak

some folks here old enuff can also tell us that banks were lending 110% LTV in 1996. now MAS is doing real good work. we are nowhere near a bubble compared to 1996

[Shanhz]

It really happens to 1 of my friends who got an additional 1.5% discount for another BUC project in the east side .... Another friend who bought a similar unit 1 week before him under a different agent did not enjoy this discount though.

it is possible to get discount in BUC, either you are the super front batch or the super back batch. i have gotten an additional 2.65% discount on a 75-80% sold development before.

the fundamental problem is that you must be prepared to walk away if you dun get it. then u are not desperate. if the agent senses that, they will fight all the way for you.

I must correct this error.

The agent did not "fight all the way for you" --> the agent help developer fight all the way into your cheque book!

As long as time is on your side and you dont abuse the time, you usually get a good buy. Abusing time on your side means u wait and wait and wait ... unit FV reach $1,600 psf! Haha!

Hee I was recalling one year ago when I was looking at this proect and there was so many negative feedback from the low land, to cementry , bad fengshui and etc yet today one year later is like selling hot cake and maybe I guess is the price ba maybe a year ago was expensive and now consider cheap for that area and ppls ignored all the physcial negative factors here :scared-5:

Yes, my friend managed to get his agent to fight for additional 1% discount from developer for Archipelago (on top of the max 3 + 3 + 3%) plus some cash voucher (from agent's own pocket).

Hmm, don't think there should be any reason for them to delay. Last I heard only about 20 unsold units left

Waaa.. My neck already super long.. Must wait some more?? :(

[sepiafeathers555]

Anyone here bought a unit? Passed by to take a look last weekend. I think earliest possible is next march..hopefully..can't wait!!!

With labour crunch now... May delay further. Sigh...

[mcmlxxvi]

i can see clearly the stacks facing east from my home... condoms down.

[vratenza]

I believe during the launch, FV was sold with the agents' crystal ball "prediction" of the ERL station situated right where the SERs blocks are.

Short of LTA releasing the actual official line details, evidence so far points to the Siglap station nearer to Marine Parade Road instead.

Wonder how it will affect the price movements?

buyer beware. even with the future station being nearer to MP, it is still near in a sense, i.e. less than 5min drive away

Yup, understand the caveat emptor part.

5min drive to the final destination is very good by any measure but....
5min drive away to reach another mode of transport is pretty significant unless we are talking about park and ride.

Went pass the site last month and spoke with the contractor...seemed like the project will only be ready beginning of next year. Apparently, the layout of the project is tough for vehicles to bring the building materials in.

Reported in the Strait Times today.

Plumes of smoke seen from construction site in Siglap
1 July 2013
By Maryam Mokhtar

Black plumes of smoke could be seen coming from a construction site in Siglap after construction materials there caught fire earlier on Monday afternoon.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it received a call for assistance at 3.16pm and dispatched a fire engine, one Red Rhino and two fire bikes to the site along Siglap Road and Cheviot Hill.

SCDF officers arrived to find construction materials measuring 10m by 10m on fire and three water jets were used to douse the flames within five minutes.

No one was injured and investigations are ongoing.

Someone said that the TOP would be in Q3 next year.
Looking at their latest post on the project, it seems it could be earlier??
I hope to shift in during June school holidays!

it does look earlier than Q3! Hope so!!!

[Sleepyhead]

Wen I bought the place > 1 year ago, the agent told me that expected TOP would be Q4 2013.... Shortly after that I was told q1 2014.... Then there was the fire earlier this year and I got another update saying Q3 2014.

No other updates since.

Anyone else has updates to share?

aw man. Q3 2014 sounds so far away..I'm still hopeful that we get the keys by June!

aw man. Q3 2014 sounds so far away..I'm still hopeful that we get the keys by June!

It is coming to end of year in the next two months..we would be so distracted with the Christmas, New Year and Chinese New Year celebration....the construction will also slow down during these festive seasons..getting keys by June appears very likely.

called my agent earlier and asked about updates of flemingo valley. he updated me on a unit sold with a handsome profit of $255,576 made. thats abt 200PSF from the purchase price. I love the appreciation and definitely is asking my sister to buy the 2 bed penthouse once she's back. $800 PSF. So far the most attractive price in D15.

Yowetan, you are a NATO person, nice nice nice nice but didn't buy. no point talking also, i even wondered why are you in this series of thread here in the first place.

btw MRT MRT MRT when would LTA announce?

lata become flamingo HAHAHHAHAHA

[mkl22]

LTA confirmed it?

It will be at VS la. Almost 100% confirmed. There has never been any soil test activity at the HDB blocks. And the VS site has been soil tested 3 times at least. Same with bay shore and marine parade. Numerous soil testing.

Anyway since LTA has not yet announced. You can continue to hope.

When is TOP?

Officially Q1 2015.

Our (hopeful) guess June 2014.

[SGYC]

Drove past Earlier this week from behind. Look like its 80%done

[repanse71]

Drove past Earlier this week from behind. Look like its 80%done

Logically, best time to move & avoid disruption is dec hols.
So, praying for either 2015 Q1 or Q3 TOP.

Dear home owners of Flamingo Valley, over the past few months I have consolidated a number of Interior Designers and Home Improvement businesses to provide better deals for us home owners. It is also possible to organize a group buy with them to strike a even better deal for the participants.

I have been trying to reach Condo Singapore for sticky threads so everyone can benefit from the site. However I have yet to get a respond so meanwhile I can only post in individual threads.

It would be great if you guys can input what other products/services you are keen so I can look for the relevant businesses and see what they can offer.

Cheers,
Cjdre

[Kouz]

Seem like it is almost done;)

[Sleepyhead]

When do you reckon?

[oda]

they started the bridge, i passed by earlier

[Sleepyhead]

When I bought FV months ago, The agent told me TOP expected in Q4 2013!!??

:doh:

[eng81157]

guess the stop-work order delayed the TOP. what is the official TOP period?

[Sleepyhead]

Official TOP will be q1 2015 but I sure hope it won't take that long!

[Kingfisher]

Passed by and saw them working on last 2 blocks at Entrance. Almost finishing work on Skybridge and landscaping works in progress. External walls are being erected. The project is in the final phase and likely to be completed by MAY.

[Sleepyhead]

That's good news! Read on another forum that top is expected in March with keys handed out in April/May.

Has Anyone start to look for ID already? My friend said it still too early to look for one even if TOP is in April . True??

[sepiafeathers]

kouz: i don't think it's too early! hubs and i started looking for our ID since last June and we have settled on one. we're very busy at work always so we decided to start early. once we get the keys, we can make final adjustments to our design when we see the real place and get reno started asap!! can't wait! ;)

[minority]

its a interesting project. by my concern are 1 low grounds in that area floods. 2nd the 1 way road infront of the estate will be prone to jam even when a bus or garbage truck stops .

building for some look a bit close to each other. but other than that the units perched on the hill top are actually nice. if only the units are bigger.

[oda]

hear rumours top will be earlier?

Hi Kohky,

As per image uploaded is the Average PSF rental data of the projects nearby Flamingo Valley (http://allpropertylaunches.sg/flamingo-valley/) which is filtered down to all unit size <600sqf and age below 5years. Source: SRX Streetsine.

Based on the analysis, Average rental PSF for unit size <600sqf is about $4.50-$5.50

For Flamingo Valley (http://allpropertylaunches.sg/flamingo-valley/) the last 2 units of 1+Study is at the size of 517sqf, so in terms of expected monthly rental is ranging from $2300-2800.

Current units available and expected selling price for 1+study at Flamingo Valley (http://allpropertylaunches.sg/flamingo-valley/); #03-50 & #04-50 at $833,230 & $841,960 respectively.

Forecast rental yield based on average purchase price of $837,595 and monthly rental of $2550; 2550/837595*100% = 3%

**note: above rental analysis may not subject to 100% accuracy and hold no liability for any investment cost and risk damage** :)

Flamingo Valley (http://allpropertylaunches.sg/flamingo-valley/) has already obtained TOP, which brings to another benefit of getting immediate rental income and buying for a brand new unit.

Please feel free to contact Kaeden @ 9048 0660 for Flamingo Valley (http://allpropertylaunches.sg/flamingo-valley/) information and e-brochure, units availability and pricing!

Flamingo Valley (http://allpropertylaunches.sg/flamingo-valley/) is close to 97% as of date.

Cheerios :)
