I am not trying to say if your condo 1km radius has no competition, u can get $8. I am only saying u get less competition while renting out and can get more desirable rate as compared to those clusters we talk about. I also have a unit in sail, Clift n sail serving different group of tenants.Originally Posted by thomastansb
I dun need to educate the forumers about logic here, they are all expert n I am just stating some common mistake followers made.
Yup one North is another good one. I went for the preview but missed out eventually. I UOL sold most of the units to insiders and agent.

Aiya no need to argue lah, we are all highly educated people with high EQ n can conclude things in the most constructive ways, or else we wun be multiple units owners right?
Opps, sorry to hijack The Glades thread.
Case closed.

1 bedroom same price as My Manhattan but size is 452sqft vs MM's 560sqft.Originally Posted by GSLJ
Why not when it gives good rental yield? Can find tenants very quickly even with higher rent. Lastly, it is 999LH in a few place that is rare. Th recent commercial land bid price near Cecil and Telok Ayer has reached new high.Originally Posted by shauntanzs
Price is affordable. 3 rm at 1.25mil is good.Originally Posted by GSLJ
Yee ha! Did I tickle your funny bone?
if country garden can sell a few thousands in weeks, Glades will be gone by daysOriginally Posted by azeoprop
like COE/car market ... all buyers super-loaded

Ride at your own risk !!!

Agree with Bakasa2002, not impressed with the quality.Originally Posted by Simply East
I was there over the weekend, showroom was packed! They have 1/2/3 bedder show units for viewing. Indicative price 1.4k- 1.6k psf. I find the units rather small, but the landscaping is nice. High floor units facing Bedok rise will have a distance sea view. There will also be a covered walkway link to Mrt too.
Land price around 800, construction costs plus misc add another 400, so at 1.4k psf I feel is reasonable. But this is BUC, so TOP should be around 4 years or 2017. If it's for rental yield, the resale condos opposite may be another option to consider for immediate returns.
This project not so hot judging from the response here le
i thought rent is moderating given the completion of Optima? still people flocking to showrooms. looks like the next CM is to reduce loan tenure to 25 years.
I think game over for many people.
Eg 45years old man earning 10k pm
Has 1 existing property.
To buy a 2 bedder 1.2m at The Glade, he need to fork out cash 50% 600k plus SD 120k = 720k
Does all average dudes has this amount of money?
Even if he cleared round 1, now comes round 2.
Balance Loan 600k over 20 years, monthly installment $3500 pm
If he has existing house loan assuming 2k pm n car loan 1.5k pm,
He fail to cross the 60% TSDR hurdles.
Game over.

Having a spare 1+ million dollars to spend on a tiny box apartment is one thing, thinking it's a good idea is another. I think were the next cooling measures to say all buyers must have a limb amputated then buyers would still happily queue up.
It is at the point where, even at a low 1.5% interest rate, the potential monthly rental cannot even cover the monthly mortgage. I can only assume then, that the rich investors don't really look at the rental yield anymore and are in it purely for the anticipated capital appreciation. Would I be right? And just how high can a tiny box appreciate? Can and will people pay unlimited amounts for a tiny box in a suburban location? I don't see wage inflation keeping up with house inflation.
There are a sizeable group who areOriginally Posted by Village Idiot
1. staying fully paid up HDB and condo
2. baby boomers with easily 300k in investible CPF
3. saved up quite a bundle in cash now parked in TD
4. general distrust in equities, bonds,,,
I personally know many of above who are now getting into the act.
They have no issue with 50% cash upfront, nor TDSR....

People believe the 6.9m population target is very REAL.Originally Posted by Village Idiot
In fact, people believe the TRUE target is 8m.
Once PM Lee discloses the plan for Paya Lebar airbase and Tanjong Pagar container terminal, more will believe in the 6.9m - 8m population target.

You take 1M buy a MM, rental 3k, still got 3.6% yield.
You take 1M buy Iskandar properties, already drop 5%. Not prices drop but currency drop.
This is one of the many reasons. People see Singapore as a strong country with sound security, resilient currency, continuous growth, no external debt etc....

Game over for me, but not for my kids, I will still pay 500k for them to acquire a 1st pte property if need to.
Since garment says they can loan to 80%, might as well take it.
henryhk, do not give up. One day they will remove those absds
I nver hope ABSD will be removed...because it is false hope.....so will need my kids to follow my footstep and buy pte instead of hdb....Originally Posted by Lovelle
They will remove one day and i think the day wont be far.
Laguna buy for chewren , it is a good move
