baywater calling 900+psf, clearwater 800+psf, aqbp 700+psf.
so asking price is inversely proportional to distance to mrt?
wow hdb so hot already? then i better also cash out and buy one more heheheOriginally Posted by kEN9170
but mine 5rm flat just next st hilda, and the coming town council hub leh. walking distance to new mrt as well. so wasted if i cash out right?
is proportional, not inverse... the further the lowest

1 or 2 years diff cannot justify the diff in psf

Baywater lease much newer
i'm refering to cw and aqbp price diff la.
when i was buying clearwater, aqbp was abt same psf.
after mrt announced the calling price diverged.
if you put baywater furthest away from the mrt it will not command this price premium despite being newer. even at same age baywater will command higher psf due to proximity to the mrt.
you don't seem v familiar w reservoir projects so dun make claims w such surety based on bits of info.

waterfront waves shd hit 1kpsf soon?Originally Posted by McKinnon
2002 completed project hitting 800psf. The buyer must be desperate for a house close to parents.
close to red swastika, or uwc, or reservoir, or upcoming mrt, or parents, or girlfren/boyfriend, take your pick.
small units hitting 800psf is easy, big units hitting 800psf psf so soon is remarkable!

I don't think so.
Maybe it is because of FT?
There are 2 international schools nearby, NPS in chai chee and UWC in tampines. Also Red Swastika School is nearby. Do you think that could be the reason?
yes the international schools and red swastika are key factors, and there are also buyers who buy into the future mrt to buffer against price drops.
my fren just sold her aqbp and bot a bigger cw, becoz she says nearer to mrt

Aquarius only a few metres more. May be she sold to get the cash and then borrow from bank again?
not really lei, coz she had to pay 40% down as she has another 2br in clearwater.

Unbelievable!Originally Posted by McKinnon
This transaction would have most probably taken place in May 2011 for caveat to be lodged in July.
My guess that Bedok Reservoir property will soar even more when the MRT is ready. But that's a long way........
So if you have just purchased a property there, and you have a child studying in the popular schools nearby, assuming the child is in P1 now, by the time the child completes primary school education, it will be a good time to sell.
ya i saw it advertised early june, tot it will transact at 950psf max.
