I think you have missed the boat. There was a starbuy somewhere end last year till early this year around your budget if you don't mind not so good facing. I bought my 2 bd room early last year at quite a high price early last year. Back then Agent said developer will not lower price ???Originally Posted by daphne
Anyway quite happy with the purchase as I like the spacious design and location. Do not like hunting around. No. of units not too many just nice to share the facilities with 400+ neighbours
Tot Waterfront Keys is coming with many 2brs ?? Even u miss that, there is still another one near Damai school. And then there is DBSS Bedok Reservoir also.Originally Posted by daphne
Any one care about the pathetic bank saving interest rate? It has been lowered again...
Please share with us if you have better way to get good return from your hard earned money.
Personally, I prefer some of the S-REITs, with an average yield of 8% per year. Some articles to share here.
oh, that's great. Primary school will be another headache for me next time.Originally Posted by kEN9170
It really depends on how much risk you are willing to take..Most REITS are quite highly leveraged so you might still lose a substantial amt of your investment if the company folds up or ends up having to sell properties at fire sale prices to maintain positive equity in the event of another severe downturn. Other less risky alternatives would include preference shares issued by local banks which yield abt 4-5% or Singapore govt bonds (risk free yield of between 0.4%-3% depending on time to maturity)..Originally Posted by noblebaby
Scheduled for launch in the later part of July is the second phase of the Bedok Waterfront project that Far East Organization is developing jointly with Fraser Centerpoint. The first phase, Waterfront Waves, has seen 300 units of a total of 405 sold to date, at prices averaging $725 psf.
The 437-unit second phase is called Waterfront Key, and prices are likely to be 8% to 10% higher than those achieved at Waterfront Waves. "That's because Waterfront Key has a better orientation in terms of the number of units that face the Bedok Reservoir and the Bedok Town Park," says Cheang Kok Kheong, cheif operating officer of Frasers Centrepoint Homes.
As an investor, first of all is to do tones of research and be selective to minimize risks...

"long term" wonder still feasible in this era...
The irony is crash or boom... he is still getting regular commission from the outstanding investment amt of his clients..Don't undertsand what kind of logic, give wrong advice still get paid..??
Seriously wonder retail investors have the time to screen through all the different reports or research by themselves. I would just wait for market to correct and buy some blue chips to keep.
Would choose to sleep soundly then having sleepness nights or heart attack and not being able to focus on your job
I am not a financial expert, just what I observed from experience and chose to be a kiasu investor.
which is why the financial industry needs a complete shake up, wonder what MAS is doing? probably ...Originally Posted by Water Lover
Appreciate anyone who could recall the $psf for waterfront waves on units with full reservoir view.
In general, if waterfront KEY is 8~10% more expensive, slightly more units built but plot area smaller than waterfront waves, would this dev still be value for $ ?

Cheahsg, how much is the current price for WFW? Pls. share with us if you have the updated price list for WFW. tx!
$750 psf for The Key is quite high, unless those units facing reservoir...

Facing reservoir can be higher...
Reason being for The Key from $750 psf is that the units are much smaller than WFW so the quantum is lower. There are more 2 bedders and the 3 bedders is even smaller that our stack 25. About 1100 sqft. So selling price will be about the same as WFW but only units are smaller...
WFW now left aboit 100 units while there are same stacks not even launch yet. Cos once The Key is launch, buyer may find units too small, so they may come back to the WFW for the bigger units.

Another factor that may lure buyers to WFW is the T.O.P... I expect the T.O.P for The Key will be in 2014... Construction will not start until next year... Economy still face alot of uncertainty, don't think ppl will pay higher price and wait for a long time for their unit to be ready...

Does anyone know the actual % of units sold?
The URA website gives your only the past 12 months and only when developer lodged it after they rec'd your 15%...
To date, 300 units out of 400 units has been sold.

Thanks, seriously considering a unit, hence wanting to reaffirm what the agents said. I would prefer the bigger units at WFW vs the new development next door. But there are no more reservoir facing units for WFW
Originally Posted by cheahsg
unit facing reservoir no more? Dont think so, i think the developer keep it and not selling it under starbuy...
Facing reservoir is more than 1.1mil for 3 bedroom
