1408 should be around 730K at 1152sqft , poolview and ns facing.

Looks like price is very attractive for a high floor, pool view unit. (634 PSF).

Thanks

Yes. It is indeed very attractive. Similar unit used to sell above $7XX psf before this launch.

[isaaclim]

hopefully so... but i think i wld rather they do a good job then rush through the remaining installations.

Agree.

Base on the current progress, it is unlikely that we can get key before mid of May.

No need to be too "kan chiong" lah. As long as there is enough time for me to renovate + move in before July. I am happy.

[isaaclim]

Yes. It is indeed very attractive. Similar unit used to sell above $7XX psf before this launch.

In fact, they are selling it at initial launching price + interest.
I think we have to say thanks to Goodwood Residence.

[isaaclim]

Hi Dennis, do you have a rough indicative of those left over high floor, pool view units?

All pool view remaining units are from 715k. Chiong ah!

I will wait till later date. If you shop now, they will know u very kan chong... and chop you!

A lots of projects are ending soon. Many contractors are eagerly looking for new project + not so many new launch coming, so should be able to get the same job done at cheaper price later.

Hi LA,

You mentioned previously on a cheap furniture at Tai Seng.
Could you give me the address again. Thanks.

16 Tai Seng Ave, next to sakae building. Furniture are under OM group.
Have you confirm ur ID? Im almost done with the design but have to do some actual measurement upon collection of key. My customer gave me quite a number of lobang for furnishing. Perhaps can meet up upon collection of key n see which is the best for us. hehe...

Was at Silver River last weekend n surprise they are not as "chi-na" as we(me n my huband) thought. They have a total of 7th floor i think. Its worth going down for reference.
Check out for www.renotalk.com before commiting on furniture. Some stories can be v scary. We went to one at ubi n was glad we din commit on the dining table which they promise to customise to our requirement. The feedback from various forums make our eyeball roll.

[evilllll]

Anyone seen the dining table in the showroom? like that very much. Anyone who has seen similar can advise or anyone know where it was from. Please advise.

[Rapister]

It is not just a stupid act by calling yourself Rapister, it is seriously very offensive.

this fellow is irritating everyone in TQ. I wld say he is dumb cos he buys a place in lakeside and wants to use italian stuff. perhaps he is planning to use pizzas as plates as well as pasta as curtains.

I believe you are either a young ignorant or old piece of shit,nothing better to do. Your act is really childish. Shame on you.

[isaaclim]

Usually it will take 2-3 weeks to obtain TOP after all the major works are done.
And 1-2 months to distribute all the keys.

So, my wild guess is anythings before mid of May is unlikely.

So, basically nothing we can do except to get your loan approved and standy 6 months maintenance fees.

Developers' home sales top 1,000 units in Feb

GuocoLand sells some 160 units at The Quartz after last week's price cut

By KALPANA RASHIWALA


(SINGAPORE) Developers have achieved an 18-month high in private homes sold in a month, with the 1,000-unit mark having already been breached so far in February.


Snapped up: A showflat at The Quartz condominium developed by GuocoLand. About 98 per cent of buyers of the units are Singaporeans, 80 per cent of whom live in the vicinity, mainly with HDB addresses

Most of the developers who are prepared to pare their price expectations to more affordable levels continue to be rewarded. A near 10 per cent price chop was all it took for GuocoLand to sell off almost 90 per cent of the 182 units at The Quartz condo in Buangkok relaunched last week.

The Singapore-listed property arm of Malaysian tycoon Quek Leng Chan has found buyers for about 160 units since last Tuesday's price cut. This means the 625-unit project is now left with only around 20 units, compared with 182 units prior to the relaunch.

GuocoLand trimmed the 99-year-leasehold project's average price to $595 per square foot (psf), compared with $650 psf during the height of the market in 2007.

Besides the more competitive pricing, market watchers attributed the successful outcome to the fact that The Quartz will be ready for occupation soon. Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) for the condo is expected in a couple of months.

The bulk of buyers are believed to have bought for their own occupation. About 98 per cent of buyers are Singaporeans, 80 per cent of whom live in the vicinity, mainly with HDB addresses, a GuocoLand spokeswoman said.

'They like the design, layout and location of the development, which is near Buangkok MRT Station and also accessible by Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway,' she added.

The bulk of the 182 units were three-bedroom apartments. On average, a typical three-bedder of slightly under 1,100 sq ft costs around $650,000, BT understands.

Over at Jurong Lake District, Frasers Centrepoint found buyers for another 35 units for its Caspian condo over the weekend, raising total sales in the 99-year-leasehold project to 515 units.

The overall average price achieved is just over $600 psf, reflecting the sale of better-facing units in the past week. About 32 per cent of Caspian's buyers have opted for an interest absorption scheme; they will pay 3 per cent more in exchange for not having to foot beyond the 20 per cent initial payment until the project receives TOP. On average, three-bedroom units at Caspian cost $700,000 to $750,000.

At River Valley Road, Fortune Development found buyers for another six units at RV Suites over the weekend. Half the 96 units in the freehold project have been sold. The project comprises mostly units of 500-550 sq ft, and the average price is about $1,300 psf. East Coast Properties sold another four units over the weekend for its D'Chateau @ Shelford, which is priced at $1,000-$1,100 psf on average.

Market watchers note that over at Livia in Pasir Ris, some of the 30 units released at $620 psf on average on Valentine's Day weekend are still available. Units are relatively large (a typical three-bedder is about 1,259 sq ft), resulting in a bigger unit price quantum of at least $750,000 for a three-bedroom unit. Potential buyers may also be waiting for new projects to be launched in the area before deciding on their purchase.

Seasoned property consultants say that for mass-market projects to move today, they should be priced at around $600 psf at most, and the unit price should not exceed $700,000, in order for them to be affordable to HDB upgraders.

Right, "Old Bird". Think you are in the wrong forums. Quartz is for the young one...... "Old Bird" like yourself should belong to the other "Old" forums..... like maybe "Caspian". Think it's more suitable for yourself.....

Do check it out......

[queensway]

Get the hell out of this place if u are not TQ owner. Real sick. go back to your jungle hideout.

THis fellow is plainly an attention seeker who has nothing better to do

[tortu]

Guys, let's not get so upset with this RAPIST. He gets what he wants if we are upset with him.

Let's enjoy our forthcoming new home and we should rejoice that people like him didn't buy into Quartz, otherwise, it is a nightmare to have neighbours like him.

Good luck to the Lakers in Caspian!

Why don't you just shut the **** up and get your sorry ass back to your jungle? In fact, there is no place for such a person like you in this thread so why don't you consider ****ing off to your own "HIGH CLASS" thread.

But judging by the way you conduct yourself here, I don't think the forumers in your "HIGH CLASS" thread also want a person like you. Somehow, I suspect that you've also been thrown out by them.

So why don't I suggest you just dig yourself a real big hole and bury your scum face in it.

And by the way, if you do ever make any replies, please do a spell check and correct your grammatical mistakes. A "LINGUIST" like me takes a long time to try and understand what the **** you're trying to say.

[Rapister]

why so angry?

tell u to dont argue already

please lah why quarrel

we are all top 20% of singapore we must support each other

although caspian is the best, we are all condo stayer, give each other idea and discuss lah

anyway condo is for establish people, young man like you should stay hdb

Agree! Just ignore him, when nobody reply, he will leave the forum.
He is just jealous that he didn't get The Quartz, as he got Caspian before TQ re-priced.
If he didn't like TQ, he will not always come to this forum and monitor.

Rap, just because you can afford a condo does not qualify you or anyone to have an elite mentality. there are many elites living in HDB

giving your views about the good/bad of a project is one thing

putting down people is another, it's not good manners
