I counted at least 5 bank auctions or bank sales in today's classified ads (in Sunday Times). Don't remember seeing even one during the good old times 1-2 years ago.
Oh well, the property bulls here will still say this doesn't mean a thing.

No bulls will quote this until they release their own hot potato and escape from the current peril.Quote:

Begbie: Did you bring the cards?
Sick Boy: What?
Begbie: The cards, the last thing I told you was to mind the cards!
Sick Boy: Well, I've not brought them.
Begbie: It's ****ing boring after a while without the cards.
Sick Boy: I'm sorry.
Begbie: Bit ****ing late, like.
Sick Boy: Why didn't *you* bring them?
Begbie: 'CAUSE I ****ING TOLD YOU TO BRING THEM, YOU DOSS CUNT!

Nope.. you can just buy the HDB flat next to your mum... i'm sure u can get it even if u lowered ur price..Quote:

wait till index drop further to 120~130
Try the older ones like Mandarin Gardens and Bayshore Park. Otherwise, you can me in waiting for px to drop further (may not happen).Quote:

Agents that I have met insisted that $800psf is a fair price for the telok kurau area and I should just settle with that for my next house (though i beg to disagree..) , but that of course is my own opinion.. I believe a fair price around telok kurau area should be around $675 psf
Well..we'll see, in the meantime, i'll just have to settle with staying with mummy..
I'm definitely priced out for a property close to my mum right now.. and if the bulls insist that prices can go up by 2-3 times the current price within 10 yrs... That sounds like a load of bull.. *SpLAT*
at any pt in time at any price and in any area, agents will tell you,
"this is it, now is the time to buy!"
Some will say you're already late in the game, so better buy immediately before prices shoot through the roof!Quote:

Couldn't agree more dude... in fact.. i'm gonna shift my direction towards further east in the meantime.. the pricing there are more suited for me..but since i drive.. its not so bad.. Can always drive over and visit my mum.. or even bring her over to stay with us... small issue here...Quote:

U looking out for a unit yourself dude?
yeap same sentiments! I rather keep my $$ in a poor FD rate then make a wrong property investment. ;)Quote:
