Just curious, why OL only transacted @1100-1200psf. Its FH,near mrt,school. While punggol or bedok reseidence transacted around 1300-1500.. And its LH.
Need enlighten from guru here...OL undervalue or punggol/bedok overvalue?

IMHO both over-valued.
OL is at one of the most congested part of PIE where it meets one of the most congested part of CTE.
Guess most of the units are for own stay. No flippers to push the price upwards.Originally Posted by heroes
Congested means accessible but i think FH <bigplot> near mrt is rare...Originally Posted by howgozit

Its mean supply is limited... If demand high why the price still<1200 and rent also not more than sgd 4psf. location better than punggol or bedok. Waterfront wave rent rate is about 4psf
Yea if i got enough money definitely will get 1 unit here so much empty land around woodleigh, PAP just took over PP, im sure the area will be developed soon (before the next GE)Originally Posted by heroes
Brand New LH e.g Rochelle near Newton MRT, one stop from orchard mrt, at 1300-1400pfs, which has more value? So its relative, other than mrt proximity, other local considerations come into play.Originally Posted by heroes
Possible for it to catch up, but it has to be compared with other LH and FH in the vicinity. Oft heard limitations at forum, too close to junction, very heavy traffic, and pollution.
The way I look at, if the price is right there will be flippers.
I think escalating prices encourage flippers rather than flippers encourage price escalation.
So it may be that OL is not very "flippable".

Ur bro vy daring....when it TOP in 2008, market was so uncertain and ol 8xxpsf was damn high
I tot of getting another unit upon TOP too but decide against it
I told him to go for it at that time given the uncertainty. It was the time that I was eyeing SB too.Originally Posted by devilplate
Oh ya tat time sb got few high flr units going for 9xxpsfOriginally Posted by DC33_2008
Tinking back abit regret nvr buy...i offer low low all got rejected...lol
W28 got a lot of attention then so many people missed OL. Me asked about there but decided against it coz of nearby PIE.. noise and air pollution...
Yup, I got one of those highest floor. No regret!Originally Posted by devilplate
Those facing pool is good with North-South facing. Wind mainly coming into the home via the balcony and flow towards the expressway at the rear. One and two bedders are really bad with noise and air pollution. W28 has these problems plus direct morning or afternoon sun. So still do not know why people are paying such price!Originally Posted by ysyap
Why people keep using Rochelle as example?Originally Posted by ekl2ekl2
Rochelle bigger quantum becos larger unit + LH sitting on FH land, again, difficult to enbloc.
Rochelle 2bedder 1.5m, 3bedder 1.7m, BR 2bedder only 1.2m n 3bedder 1.4m.
Traffic jam at OL junction is a real killer ... nobody like living so near the busy junction .. Rochelle address is much more coveted
Maybe someone can enlighten how bad the traffic is in and out of leicester during peak hour.
I live in that area. Drive in and out all the time. Worst timing to be honest will be during 7+am when Saint Andrew's Village gets populated.Originally Posted by Douk
Honestly, how many get affected at this hour? The jam aint that bad. Still takes barely 15mins to get to town.
Today i juz drove along serangoon road ard 7.30pm towards Kovan. Jammed like crazyOriginally Posted by price
