the problem is, not everybody like me can buy a HDB flat.
for the majority, also at most 1

if i can buy many HDBs, i cud have owned dozens oredi

wow at least u managed to buy one

i have never owned a HDB ..wasted my privilege as a sporean

i am sure there are some condos that are not NEXT TO HDB lah .. at least future buyers (upgraders) dont feel like upgrade already like no upgrade mah ..

unless you believe that when u sleep .. your spirit wonders around ..so you move next block from HDB to condo your spirit can still find u

That's why I've said before that HDB is the only type of housing that obeys the so-called "economic fundamentals of the average income" propounded by the many self-professed "economic fundamentalists" in this and other forums.

The private property market does not obey this rule due to strange participants like the one below who is "jobless" but very rich, and investors who carry in cartloads of cash.

Looks like you're still actively monitoring the market So much ammo!

jobless mah...vy free lor

visit showflat become my past time hobby haha

Main reason is probably coz mr proud owner owns a private properties in Singapore already.

[Fishsee]

yes yes agent quoted ard 980psf for that subsale...he said good buy!

980psf is very very gd buy.... If i didn't remember wrongly last mth there's #6 3 bedder unit done at 1200psf..

980psf like a bit too good to be true leh....

Quite close to developer price. I was quoted 94x or 95x psf for the 4 bedder early last year when the showflat totally deserted. Nearer to TOP time there will always be such deals surfacing as buyers change their minds or whatever.

yes really too good to be true. Because I got the contact from my friend and called the agent, he told me the unit is SOLD! Firesale or a lie?

Based on my experience.... shld be a lie. I have a few encounters with agents quoting me below mkt price. When I say I want to confirm, they will tell me SOLD... Ask me consider other units which is selling at mkt price. When I chk the transacted price mths later... No such price has been transacted.

last yr got a starbuy period still got 2bedders selling close to 900psf wor...but den, got better gd buys at tat time lah

duno whether u all experience it b4 anot...its really a gamble to buy a firesale ppty when the seller actually need to top up with his own cash to complete the sale. bcoz downpayment only 20% and last yr some prices actually crashed up to 60%

i checked with my lawyer at tat time, and he told me if the seller cannot top up....the bank as the mortgagor of the ppty will reject the sale and i goto to sue the seller back for my 1% deposit!not worth to sue considering the legal fees right? its a gamble
