Which condominum project has the biggest gain factor in 2008?

[Team Renault]

.......... i have just done the purchase. Sanctuary green, pool view unit. 1300++ sqft, 3 flr for 1.05mil. I decided to buy the pool view because the city view units are too expensive plus the owners are not flexible, my offer was thrown back to me, very irritating owners. Costa rhu even worst for the good city views. I offer and give cheque, after that the owner refuse to sign. The worst part is, the owner is the one that told me they can close at that price. Hopefully it pays off in the long run. The agents there are very bullish about that area ..........

Congrats!
A wise purchase.

Transacted prices - look at the dates.

I doubt you can find any seller or even the developer Wing Tai willing to sell it to your for anything lower than $2.5k psf.

there are 4 transactions listed for apr07 (likely to be transacted a mth ago), and all are definitely below 2k psf. there are sellers asking for above 2k, but the last time i checked (abt 2 or 3 wks ago), most are requesting for below 2.5k psf. richmond park transactions have been on the rise though, with one getting close to 2.5k psf. not bad for an oldie.

Congratulations on your SG purchase! You will find it to be worth the hassle and the premium paid!

From another post in the SG thread:

There are plots of URA land between Costa Rhu and Sanctuary Green. Heard that before this year end, URA will put it out for bidding. When that pieces of land is launched, the new benchmark prices will surprise all of the east coast.
Meyer Residences and Seaview@Meyer will look cheap at that point of time. Tg rhu will be the next killer of the market guaranteed.

If your prediction is right with bird flu, all your properties will also drop.
The sail< 700psf.
MBR< 800psf.
1 shenton<800psf.
reflections<800psf.
Only lousy HDB will still be the same.
Do you think so?

[Pls help me.]

Just to check with you how much is the city view units at sanctuary green asking for? Which stack did you buy? Costa rhu city views how is the prices?

hayata1972, i bought Blk185, main pool view. Costa rhu city view units are asking for the roof, sanctuary green also. By now all should be above $1,200psf. These owners think they own gold. Selling at gold prices, real crazy market now. I bit worried now because i bought a pool view unit, lucky this money is inherited. Saw the caveats, feel scared i bought at high. How do i market this unit next time i want to sell? Can you savvy guys teach me? thanks alot for your kindness.

The question is: do you have more money to buy if markets plunge?
I am sure some will.
Sadly, wealthy folks are always the one to take advantage when real sales comes, only ordinary folkks are the ones jump bandwagon hoping not late to make a killing

Of course you will be worried, since the first day i bought my property i was worried, even the owners that bought the sail were worried. Imagine buying the sail during the launch at $900-1000psf.
During those days, i can buy yong an park for $500-600psf leh. I bet you the buyers were sweating everyday after they bought. But now? wah, $1500-2000 selling price, how? Sometimes we have to take risks, calculated risks are worth it, rather then "hiong" the ah beng word for "investing on impulse".

Sadly this is how the market works for everything. Come on think about it, what difference is it in the working world, business world, property world.
People always wait for others to start the ball rolling.
For the working world
Now because the property market is hot, wow, JC students see, wah, must go learn architecture, next time become star architect. I am sure by the time he graduates, 50% chance it is a property slum year = no job propect.
Another example, a person working in a office enviornment drawing 3k/mth. He saw the Ad for Degree learning in casinos, quit his job and went for the course. You think he will get a high paying job in the IR at 2009? doubt so. People in charge of casino grounds need to be experianced, highly likely foreign talents from las vegas. This guy will most likely to be an assistant card shuffler.
For the business world
Do you realise that more than half of the new "entrepeneurs" in the market are people that just follow. Why? because the media says wow, being a businessman can earn how much, how much........ so and so can earn how much, how much........ After that these people with some money or alot of money will take the plunge doing exactly the same thing they watch on TV, with a little bit of modification. Then you know, high majority cannot even break even. Real entrepeneurs do not follow. They create.
For the property market
Is it any difference? No.
Wealthy folks are wealthy because they are smart.
Poor folks can also be wealthly if they are smart.
Don't complain, use your brain.

I think the possibility of human "bird flu" outbreak in Asia is not something out of a fiction. If it happens, it will hit Asia particularly hard. So far, all the human cases seem to be concentrated in Asia.

The world health organization (WHO) is keeping a extremely close watch at the developmet. So far, things are quite worrisome as number of cases of human infection and death are on a rising trend. You can look at the facts from the following link to the WHO:

hayata1972,

So should we all start selling our properties now?
Are you also selling your property?
If yes, let's do it together.

[unrealistic market.]

Don't you all think that the prices are getting out of hand already? I looked at the classifieds and this is what is see.

Caribbean : $1200psf
Cote D'azur : $1000psf
Costel del sol : $900psf
Makena : $1200psf
One Amber : $1100psf
Sanctuary green : $900psf
The Seaview : $1100psf
Water place : $1100psf

WTF, how to buy anything? The best part is these are prices right now. With all the hype almost every week by our beloved media, owners are asking for higher and higher. In fact being a property agent right now is a bad time contrary to what people think. We are having a very hard time to match any deals.

If these asking prices are unrealistic, just don't them lah.
What is there to complain?
Nobody is forcing anybody to buy anything what!
If you don't buy, perhaps the price may come down? Then you can buy at a cheaper price. Of course, it may also go up.

Singaporeans like you are a greedy lot. Serving you guys are really a lousy job. Hope you go bust while waiting for the price to hit your target.
Good luck to you.

Property market is like stocks market, currency market, commodities market, ....

You can ask anything but if there is no buyer, no transaction will be done.
Just go an buy a stock at $1.00 and try to queue to sell at $2.00 lah.
See can it be done?

All markets are determined by supply and demand.
No need to hype, talk up, etc.. No use one!
Can means can. Cannot means cannot.

[hayata1972]

hayata1972,

Heard that the property agent DAREDEVIL is trying to hype up Casa merah.
This website really has too many agents play acting around here.
Makes people sick in the stomach.

[hayata1972]

Please do not insult people just on heresay or speculation.
I just spoke to Daredevil and trust me, he is no agent.

Good for you. Just wait, the time is not right yet. Have you read about the potential of greater marina yet? Read it and understand where i am coming from. Or at least look at my original threads.
For marketing your unit, please check with your agent. They are professionals at marketing units.

If you have been following ad in ST, you should know many many owners are asking 50-60% more than the asking price for similar units in most places in Singapore just 4-5months ago. They thought property is like stock, price can double overnight. I can tell you that many agents are quite fed-up with this. One agent told me the owner keep revising price upwards even she couldn't even get an offer for lower price three months ago.

Hey take it easy man... we have all types of investors in all price segments here.

Why get so worked up? If you are really a big investor then why get so worked up and insult the smaller guys?
