Julio... I miss his duet with Diana Ross. where one part he sings 'Eeee'

Also loved his Moonlight Lady and To All the Girls I Loved Before

i loved his starry starry night, first heard when i was in early secondary school ... until later than I only I know the song is about Van Gogh

No no no, this time is different from 1997.... condo dweller has median income of 14.5k including employer CPF, that means borrowing 1 million is no sweat, Optima 484sqft 1445psf only 700k is a peanut for such household. Back in 1997 kopi was 50 cents, now kopi is $1 in kopitiam and $1.60 in ToastBox .... in 1997 5kg Royal Umbrella was probably $5 and now is $15 ... how to compare nia?

Bill Gross: "The Cult Of Equity May Be Dying, But The Cult Of Inflation May Only Have Just Begun"

If Bill Gross is right, there will be QE10 5y down the road, inflation has just begun

Any idea wat the median condo household income in 1997?

[Chillyred888]

congrats to all Optima owners!!!

now with this new record bid and potential commercial mall coming up.prices will go up up & up

Below is average household income by deciles, not by type of dwellings from 2000:

http://www.singstat.gov.sg/stats/the...ist/hhinc1.pdf

median condo household income in 2001 about 11k

1997 median? My best guess is 8-9k

It really make sense because kopi price has gone from 50-60 cents to 1 to 1.1 today so property psf goes from 500-600psf to 1100psf loh

[thomastansb]

We have worse cases.

> 1M for 300+ sq ft. Haha... How to stay?????

i meant paying 700k for a such a small living space is sad. im just against MM units. majority of gardens/backyards in landed property already more than 484sqft. to put it into perspective, its less than 5 parking lots...

[thomastansb]

The mall not confirm right?

congrats to all Optima owners!!!

[Chillyred888]

The mall not confirm right?

think it should be a matter of time ba..lets all welcome the Bull effect into TM!

Yellow horse now have more choices eh? Eco or this new plot?

[Chillyred888]

Watertown at punggol launch at high price,ppl still buy.then comes Parc centro which is cheaper in psf, ppl lagi buy buy buy...watertown owner heart pain le..

but Best thing about TM , the newest launching price will always be higher than the previous one.

[bakasa2002]

Bro, Optima 1 bdrs are already transacting at more than $1400 psf

Yeap, I saw that but thought it might be one off transaction. Maybe we will see more with this site being built.

TM have been quite for a while since Optima, so Eco and this might just liven things up. Together with the low-rise plot opposite nursery/Optima, this area might just be awaken! Not forgetting East Village was selling at about 1300psf?

[phantom_opera]

quoted from Today paper:

Bedok has highest # of households staying in landed
14,003 households in Bedok staying in 5r or larger HDB

1400psf .... bila bila

[Kukubird]

The KukuBird (we have one in this forum)

If they really named it Kukubird. I confirm buy

[carbuncle]

#3 on hilly area no?

[gn108]

Tanah Merah is turning into a happening location - over 2,000 units to be added in just these 4 sites.

[DC33_2008]

It is the nearest available site to East Coast Area.

[Yellow Horse]

Wah! How? Means I have to consider Eco?!
I am still waiting for my choice unit in Optima!!!
With news like that on TM optima owners sure mark up their price

[phantom_opera]

Amazing, D16 at 1400psf, same psf as 8@W and 8RS .. it seems today, proximity to CBD / Orchard does not necessarily commands premium, it is near MRT or far from MRT that matters

Same thing is happening to HDB rental , TPY rental 2.7k median, Tampines 2.54k median

This new site is outside of 1km of both Red Swastika and Temasek I think ... ECO will appeal more for family who wants to send kid to Temasek primary school

4th university is under construction and slated to open in 2015 while CBP is red hot rental today (>$6psf)

If you cant get your choice unit in optima, u can try the New plot opp east meadow lo..this side of TM is more favourable la

MMs will spoil the neighborhood.

happened to drive thru Kew and bedok rise ave yesterday. it is a damn shame if the lush greens have to make way for more residential concrete.

no longer an IF but WHEN. The only green you may see then will be maybe the flower nursery and the eCO vertical green wall... Nursery sure good business from all the condos with planters and balconies.

But by then it'll be too ex!

[mygeemeel]

These prices are sustainable? I am worried.

I honestly quite like the patch of greenery opposite the katong flora, it makes the area more serene.
Having a new project there means it will block seaview from Optima

definitely sustainable. you can stretch your mortgage loan up to 50 years now.
