Buying BUC direct from developers is always the safest bet?

rationale being no middleman profit.

even wif renowned developers oso no guarantee leh ... if they hv some projects not selling well, individual buyers still hv to compete with the developers for tenants.

in some cases, worse still. the developers cannot tahan leylong the remaining unsold units ... liddat is jin scary, cos launch tat time as buyers u oso wun noe whether the project will sell onot

there are so many of them. reflections and some CCR luxury projects.

during 97, there are lots of units selling way below developer price.

the safest bet is to buy after a recession. be it resale or new projects.

need a roof over your head now? get BTO or EC or cheaper resale OCR condo/hdb.

We each interpret and decide what to do next...

I believe 6.9m, or even the rumoured 8m, population target is real.

There is NO way the property prices will go straight up for 20 years.

Those who think it will still go up is not correct. There will be a correction somewhere along the line. If you are caught in it, make sure u can afford to hold.

It happened to me during the SARS period...developer slashed price by 20%, no joke
