    Haha... Both has its merits. Ask someone who grows up in the east, will surely be waterfront. I like Minton for the following reasons:

    1) it is one huge contiguous plot. The developer is decent (or not savvy) enough to chop it up into 3 plots and launch separately. With one contiguous plot, the range of facilities and land area for residents to roam ard the estate is quite unmatched in most condos.

    2) it is close to the circle line. Somehow I am more bullish on properties along circle line, since it links all the way to botanic gardens, esplanade, holland village, harbourfront, bras brasah and Dhoby ghaut.

    3) pricing for is better at 7xxpsf to 8xxpsf. This price range is a sweet spot for me unless talking about real CCR properties.

    But of course minton has no waterfront view. Depends on what a person wants. A view is priceless.

    You think only you can write stories?

    And oh, I don't have any condo in D15 nor D14, but you did get the `ville' part right. But its opposite D'Leedon. Trust me, if hookers stay at my condo at Farrer Rd, crappybelle is probably home to trans who charged 10% the rate of the hookers who stay at my condo.

    So, how's my story? Ok, back to thread :-)
    haha, some parts of your story are right. but you got the characters all mixed up. It is your mother who is selling her body to pay off the numerous housing loans that you have racked up to indulge in property speculations. But I am afraid she has no success getting a lot of cllients for her service. She is too butt ugly. the only client she can get is you. but you can't get your little brother up to satisfy her. haha, go drink insecticide and die.

    by the way, I have reported to the authorities about the hooker problem at your condo. They told me they couldn't help me, because it is all a family business, and the members of your clan do it to each other to satisfy their morbid desires.

    Good point. The lease decay has to be factored in for old resale leasehold condos. So theoretically a condo with 70 year lease would have suffered 30% value destruction (assuming simple straight line depreciation). BTW, I think agents should be forthcoming in disclosing remaining lease term for older 99LH projects. To advertise a 60 year LH project as 99LH is major misrep.

    Agreed that buying from resale can be a painful process. I have a couple of experience with my offer matching the sellers asking, only to have the seller upping the price. Have to be very patient too waiting for a particular development to become available. But can be rewarding when u finally get the unit.

    The next best 1 bedder is stack 19. Totally surrounded by water and through view into both pools of waterfront gold. Slightly larger balcony with internal chute.

    I will start buying in Singapore if I have to start paying my fresh grad audit assistant S$4500 per month.
    I remember a fresh accountacy grad in 1978 working with the big 8 then, starting pay was $800 x 14 months a year, and a unit at Nassim Mansion was $300,000 then.

    Now the same grad taking about $2,900 x15 months with the big 4. The same property, after more than 30 years, is priced at $7m.

    If u want to wait till $4,500....just wonder....

    Depends
    1. Whether parent pay the first 20% or not
    2. where is this person working, if with tier 1 banks, eg investment banking, trading and sales, then the second year should be able to
    3. if public accounting firm, perhaps can saving about $20,000 a year, and with increment, perhaps at the 7th year, then save up the first 20%...provided prices dun run away..

    I think so, I understand the turnover is very high.

    But once u stay long enough to be a senior manager or salaried/equity partner...then should be good.
