close to lowest 2 bedder caveat of $2.1m for also 1302 sq ft (1612psf). but still not cheap.
Too big and will be too expensive. Buy coz you like it - not for EB factor.

Slack activity and new rules by KBW makes it very challenging for developers to buy EB sites.

enbloc may not be easy, since the quantum will be high.
haiz.. not so long ago the townhouse was only selling like 2.xM only. now 5-6M already. no guts to go in at that time (2003)
No 1 objective is for capital gainOriginally Posted by gn108
No 2 objective is for rental yeild
Capital gains in this mkt is not easy lah.. It's anybody's guess whether mkt is continuing the up move or not. But 1 thing is definite and that is interest rate will not remain at current low level.
For your family investment, either hold it off or get a ppty with quite decent yield in good location. That way even when mkt condition worsens, u will have the confidence to hold on to the property even when prices are depressed.
Make sure ur family's cash flow also not affected!
Quite a lot of mfg companies r with holding their expansion plans in Singapore. They r exploring regional countries instead. Big units r really in trouble.Originally Posted by bargain hunter
I agree with the advice given above.
Cap gain is capped and rates will eventually normalise (definitely within the normal mortgage time-frame).
Anyway, family means bro/sis or wife/children? If bro/sis - my suggestion is don't get into that for property and if you do - get one that is newly TOP (so all can see the product) and just rent it out for yield.

$2288 seems very low for similar sized units
The most successful investors are defined by their actions in a bear market, not a bull market.
i think dtrax hinted that there's still a slight profit for this one even at this price.

in general, it is clear that foreigners were supporting this segment with this kind of quantum and after Dec measures, they would need a much bigger discount to start buying again.
