A few CCR transactions sold at a loss (reported in The Edge)

[bargain hunter]

hmmm ok figured there must be a reason for the low psf...then why you recommend me this? lol

convenient to go anywhere without car mah. oops sorry. forgot u have 2 cars!

anyway, point is, there are too many CCR bargains but depends on personal preferences. sophia residence brand new. i remember a bro mentioning there was an army of concierge staff when the project TOP. so really depends on what u r looking for.

[bargain hunter]

hahahah ya why you recommend ? aahhaha

bro sophia ... no car can be quite a climb ... can go down to PS and MRT lah ( by stairs )
but coming back you wont want to climb those stairs ... you end up walking the slope ...

i was there 3 weeks ago ... decided that Mt Emily is a better condo hahaha though further from main MRT ...

but too near little india liao?

[proud owner]

Technically yes (good enough to cool your living room)!
But I have never seen anybody done that.......... Ha ha ha!
If people can afford that kind of living they won't scrimp on electricity for their own house's air-con (and sacrifice their own privacy).........

True lah ... thats what bro Bargain hunter said also ...


Then again hor ... there are Trader ( dunno what trade) who lives in Orchard area .... and his mad wife torture the maid ...
bathe alternate days ..and at pool toilet ...

every meal eat bread ... go holiday also pack bread and noodle for maid ,..... solid ....

[amk]

proud bro, I can guess where ur place is already
Bargain bro, dun say that leh. Nothing to do with taste , I'm just observing what's happening. If you look at the budgets of these condos, it's not because of atas or what, it really was charged this much.

Bigger estate with no "private lift" will have low maintenance, any estate less than 200 will need to pay a lot more, especially when you have private lift every where.

but its true that condo maintenance can only go higher. just hope the MC manages well enough to strike a balance.

can walk on flat ground to sophia resi side gate. the walk is like from mrt to POMO.

i find those distance from MRT in Propertyguru very misleading.
Its always just drawing one straight line from point A to point B.
Google Map gives a more accurate representation of the actual walking distance.

SHHHHHHH


i like it .... very convenient too ...... to anywhere ....

[teddybear]

Think unsuccessful trader perhaps?
Otherwise why do that?
How much can he save by doing that?
More like things not going smoothly in their trade and taking out on their poor maid?

Cuscaden?
Which Cuscaden? Cuscaden Residence?
That place easily $2500 psf or more?
Now any seller? Can eat if <$2200 psf...........
D'Leedon? Probably only worth $1600 psf or even less? So downgrading, mmmmm........

Very happy the government's property cooling measures produces so many CHEAP buying opportunities in CCR! Never know CCR price is already like close to 2009 lows! Huat ah!

Cuscaden definitely much more ATAS than Farrer Rd.
Should be a downgrade.
Remember seeing a project there years ago called Cuscaden Royale.

Wow! 2009 Financial Crisis price happening NOW for Cuscaden Residence (and many of CCR properties)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So OCR property price crashing is a matter of time ha ha ha!

cuscaden resi psf already below 2000psf leh.1801psf in oct and 1941psf in dec last year.

[challenger]

1) not all the CCR developments are near MRT.
2) only have a $1m budget, many exceeds my budget.(either psf higher or unit size higher)
3) only looking for discounts (im a low life lowballer), either developer offering discount or seller selling at a loss.

hence so far only identified these 3

Stretch your budget a bit, bargain harder, maybe can consider The Sail. Cheapest unit is about $1.2mil.

Oops my bad. $1 million and still want freehold ... that only leave MM. 500sf and $2000psf. The only CCR freehold in my target last round was Emerald Garden, but size is bigger and price still very stubborn.

Think it is about time I check out River valley and Novena area.

[wannabe]

Bro dont say that leh ....




More like D Leedon not atas .... not farrer rd not atas ...

Aiyo Bro, i didnt say Farrer Rd not ATAS leh.
I say not as ATAS as Cuscaden.

LOL what to do?
Small budget with lots of requirements, so only MM lor...
Anyway its for investment not own stay.
My bedroom is already bigger than many MMs.
One of my initial requirement even included sea view... LOL i know people feel like punching me now...

Many seaview/mrt comes with 99 year lease. particularly so for seaview except for that D15 stretch and D5 pasir panjang stretch. at the moment, more of cranes for the west side though till 2027.

Opposite side Spanish Village is freehold but not atas. $1 million to $1.2 million can get. My impression years back is that it is old, up a bloody slope and bad traffic trying to drive out of the condo.
