Watertown : Punggol Waterfront Living

[mantrix]

hahaha its not even built! but thanks for the info!

is it a 3 bedder? Still have time to flip what...

So last time if you buy a resale EC, you dun need to wait for it to TOP, can rent / move in, when the price is good sell - easy money.

Those days are sadly gone but if one is patient still gems to be found...

Great people think alike, sama sama here. Was also considering Wee Hur site thinking it will be much cheaper so missed the boat on 1st day WT VVIP which was offering below $1000psf. Chiong last minute on 2nd day with only 2 units left with price increase by $100K but good facing - no regrets when heard Wee Hur going for $900psf + their unit size & layout not to my liking, too late for ATT as all good units snapped up many months ago.

Is Wee Hur layout + unit site out ? Any link to it ?

[fclim]

Initial plan was to wait for wee hur to launch and hoping a much lower price.
But wifey and I drive pass the site.
I ask wifey one question... if u are looking for a PC in punggol area, list the first three PCs in rank order:

She ranked:
1st - WT
2nd - ATT
3rd - Wee hur (She dont even want to consider that).

In the end, decided to chiong WT since price quite alright.
If 1400psf onwards, I wont buy.
My honest opinion.

Actually, I would rephrase the questions as:

1.In 5 years time, WT - $1,500 psf, ATT - $1100 psf, Wee Hur - $1000 psf. How would you rank? Would anyone pay $400 psf more just to be across the road?

2. With $1,400 psf now, what other better properties around in whole of Singapore that I can buy?

ATT rides on WT success, but WT success will be constrained by ATT.

I can't answer u coz I bought it near 1kpsf. I can still see a lot of upsides. Wifey also agrees. Maybe those who bought at 1400psf can answer u better. If Bartley at 1200psf, not my cup of tea as well. In terms of amenities, still lose out to WT. just personal opinion and hope no one takes it seriously.

Hey Xan,

The WT unit you got, is it for investment or self stay?

Also, right now, are you buying and selling 1 unit at a time or do you hold 2 or more extra units (on top of the one you're staying in) as part of your portfolio? Don't have to answer if you don't want to share. Just wondering since i'm probably near where you're at 4-5 years ago. Thanks!

I had my own sets of guiding principles in prop investment. You can private msg me if u want to further discuss.

Have to wait another 6 months or 2nd half for launch, won the tender only in Dec. but got info thru connection

[mygeemeel]

Go and stay in orchard road among the ang mo lor

Don't mentioned about ang mo. I cannot speak and write proper English. They despise me.

Anyway, those who are smart will buy WT during preview and wee hur is probably a secondary alternative for those who missed the WT preview.
No offence but honest opinion.

aww crap! i never knew that thats why i bought a FH condo instead.

Which dev did you buy? Just curious only.

[testtest]

We only live once, on top of that, we only have that much youth. There is a difference between one who is so scared of losing and in the end waited for years til late middle or old age then finally get to enjoy living in a condo and one who choose to enjoy life when young within their means. poorer in quick assets does not means we have to struggle to enjoy life. No point bringing loads of money into the coffin. The average age of couples owning condo seems to be younger and younger.

The mindset of enjoyment is to own a condo is not right value. When one is young, he should focus on upgrading himself and cultivate good saving habit. No need to "enjoy" condo, enjoy the HDB first. Upgrade to PC if you can afford later on when have a more secured income. Just don't be caught and pressurized by peers or make rash decision that "life is short, and if don't buy now you cannot afford in the future". No point bringing loads of $$ into coffin, but no point dying broke as well.....IHMO.

Yup. Life is short. Dun make it shorter through bad investments...

Is that guy even an ang mo or a banana? Don't be scarred by him lah...

Won't be shorter through bad investment lah... only make the short life more miserable... unless you so choose to make it shorter by choice!

That is why the key word is within your means. Upgrade to pte property is every sporeans dreams. if can afford, should fufil it earlier. What makes u think that they will sure broke? In fact those youngsters in 2005 who bought condo now laughing like mad. I can comfortably afford kovan melody 3bedders top floor at only $740k+. But I chose hdb eventually cos I think I m too young to be so ambitious stay condo, so bought a resale with 3 years mop. That is my biggest regret in life. I lost youth as well as huge paper profit.

Ya lar, he only like to sprout rubbish, I dun even bother to reply him. talk cock for the sake of talk cock.

Bro, not everyone made the same. Some are alright with their 'fate' and work their whole life without thoughts of investing, others want to be a Billionaire by 30.

I agree with you ...die peacefully & debt-free is one thing on my Bucket list. Ferrari can wait.

Bro - like that many regrets in life. Live life without regrets - makes for a happier life.

Doing investments got many styles - but overly aggressive with wrong timing means you're out of the game. I'd rather be gaining moderately on many investments than making on one/two and getting busted on the third/last.

again i think we are mixing discussion with buying property for investment vs. buying to stay...

[Bell]

Hmm, I wonder if other developments thread is as popular. I realize there are alot of postings in WaterTown and ATT.

Good for those 2005 laughing mad youngsters....in retrospect, they were genius. But think, what if the property bubble burst was not in Florida but here?....don't want to sound like chicken little here, but i see many youngsters want to enjoy the good things in life today...you missed a rally, but don't lose your pant when the music stops....

[mygeemeel]

Hahaha. He kena thrashed until keep quiet liao. Whether he is SAM (Siao Ang Mo) or short banana... i don't care. So long as we all Hiah Dee (brothers) must stand together and sell them our PC high price.

[mygeemeel]

Don't worry about losing youth. Take viagra and you become 15 years old again. I didn't say one... the Korean Wonder Girls say one. They call me Wonder Man.

Got my thread also quite popular. i asked a harmless question on ID and i kena bombed for no education. Heng i have good friends here all kicked his arse.

[mygeemeel]

I read some friends here talking about coffins. Eh, property discussion lei... don't talk about death lei.

I read until i started weeping and then started calling all my friends advising (is it advicing or advising? Always cannot rem) them to sell their properties and do charity.

[mygeemeel]

don't lose your pant when the music stops....

Yeah, i lose my pants when the music starts and it remained that way even when the music stops. i am refering to wife's singing and not KTV music. (don't know if wife is reading my posts).
