It is true. It is not us who are mistaken by it. But it's Bro mermaid's phrasing that makes it confusing. I'm sure if Bro sabian, ecimbew and I have been mistaken by it, then there is a problem somewhere.Originally Posted by sabian

I didn't mean you said that it is hard to rent out a FH ppty. Just that you mentioned that the tendency is more towards self stay for FH.Originally Posted by mermaid
I was saying as a prospective tenant, I really don't care about FH or leasehold. I will look location, convenience, amenities, facilities.
And this evolved from the discussion about The Quinn.
A prospective tenant can also say I prefer renting a unit in a development where I do not have to fight with 800 plus households to use the facilities.
Anyway, Quinn show gallery will be open from 20th July 11am.

Wow! 1 of only nice project I come across so far these 2 years because 139 units only on 7k+ sqm land! Even if $1500+ psf is still more worth it than J Gateway!
There are just too many overcrowded condos nowadays featuring >300 units per estate on relatively small land with insufficient volume of facilities!

felicia... thats the diff between mass mkt and boutique projects. u pay more for the latter for better quality of living.

even if the density is similar to J gateway, Quinn pricing will be more attractive to me ...Originally Posted by felicia_sg

Walk to Bartley MRT nearest entrance about 605mOriginally Posted by yesnomaybe
To Woodleigh is 645m.
To Serangoon is 675m.
Should be at least 8 min walk without counting traffic lights waiting time.
Source of your information ?Originally Posted by Kanarazu
Onemap.sg, overlay the street map and land lots to get the actual walking path. But I measured from the nearest side of the site assuming they would build a side gate there. Otherwise the walking distances will be further.Originally Posted by yesnomaybe
I measured using the same method along the main road from Bartley mrt to the middle of the largest Quinn plot and got around 870 metres. It looks to me this is the shortest walking path. This concurs well with the ipad measurement of 0.9km mentioned in earlier postings. And yes, if you add in the waiting time under the sun or rain for traffic lights, it will make the total travel time longer from Quinn to Bartley mrt. Distance from Quinn to Woodleight mrt is a bit shorter at around 0.75kmOriginally Posted by Kanarazu
Ok we measure differently. Mine is from entrance to entrance.Originally Posted by proxon
Ok, well I measure by actually walking from the site to the Woodleigh mrt station and my conclusion is....its a walkable distance.
Btw, a couple of units were 'sold' over the weekend.

the ground floor has larger sq feet so psf only 1602, think the higher floor same stack is around 1700++psf. think not worth itOriginally Posted by Autumnwinds
Huh the ground floor 1141 sqft. Then second floor onwards what size?Originally Posted by skins

1066 sq feet if i recall correctly.Originally Posted by Autumnwinds
18 Woodsville was also transacted around this level last year. Both are freehold.Originally Posted by Kanarazu

18 Woodsville is approximately 200m to potong pasir Mrt vs 650m for the quinn. One district 13, the other 19.
Does bringing up 18 Woodsville as comparison to The quinn help justify it's premium price tag? I should think not.

18w was at $1700-1900. Cannot compare...cos only 160m to MRT entranceOriginally Posted by yesnomaybe
18 Woodsville freehold 200m away fr mrt $1700-1900 psf
Quinn freehold 600m away fr mrt $1500-1600 psf
Both located near city fringe
not a very close comparison but 18w certainly provides a gd guage as to whether Quinn is over/underpriced.Originally Posted by Kanarazu
if Quinn is as near to the mrt as 18w, do u tink it will still be selling at 1500-1600psf with today higher mfg cost?
Indicative prices are out already. 3Bedroom compact from 1540 ,premium from 1600.Originally Posted by mermaid

Haha. I am not the developer so I do not need to justify anything. Let us just analyse with objectivity and without emotion.Originally Posted by Autumnwinds
Developer requires agents to help them justify. Yes ? No?Originally Posted by yesnomaybe
Ride or Die
No. Justify is a loaded word. The actual situation is this = agents prefer pricing to be reasonable so that deals are more likely to go thru.Originally Posted by Autumnwinds
However, pricing is determined by the developer, which is a profit maximising entity.
So put it this way. Developer servant outrageous pricing, you are the agent, I'm the buyer. I'll say it's very expensive, and you will tell me that it isn't. Justifying the price right. So far, I've only met one agent who has been truthful in his agenda. And that person is also a friend.Originally Posted by yesnomaybe
