Well said.

Well said.

dun be too mean la, you are looking at your potential neighbours...

In any case, the price increase dun mean much to you unless you are selling.

Of course, i just grab a unit yesterday.. unit xx-33 (3+1 bedrm). 1.08 mil but got 8% rebate.. act fast..

Wow. You are very daring. I think your premium flat will be appreciated sky high if property pick up again later. Congrats. One question. Is the 8% rebate a cash rebate or deducted straight from the list?

Agree..So what if you buy cheaper, it will not realised into real hard cash unless u sell..Its always a time cycle..buy high now, u will sell ur current property at higher price too..
Sneering at others will not increase the value of your purchase.

I also bought early last year at around $52X PSF. Taking into consideration the high construction costs (had already increased more than 50% since then) of above $300PSF (without land costs), no way the price will go to last year price even if the housing going south. The most the developer can do is to give bonus reward like now. So those who wish to buy will have to take this opportunity.

Well Done ! I grab one today at only 1.05 mil, must be one floor below yours. Our XX-33 is best unit, ie. bungolow in the air (no sharing of wall with anyneighbour), bay windows on all sides of living room, secret garden on my floor (i think) and NS facing (no moon/sun) and finally pool facing which give effects of resort living at all times. At $750 psf is good buy when compare with other new condo such as waterfront ($800), Kovan Melody (900 psf),etc. Wait no more as 3 + 1 is limited stock. Am happy with my buy and looking forward to stay in a years time. Cheers to all 3 + 1 buyers.

I am thinking for the xx-33 premium unit, the price should be in the range near $800 and above. My ERA agent told me 3-4 months back when I bought a small 2 bedded freehold condo in district 15 from him that he can also help me to get one of the xx-33 premium flat. (He said he will be reserving one for his own when it launch) At that time, he told me the price start at 1.1mil onwards and are the hottest among the new launch. I thought it was really unbeliveable to pay above 1 mil for a leasehold flat then. Look like with the increase in construction costs, this will be the price you need to pay now and maybe more in the future.

$450 is a good buy.. Now is $700+ per sqft. That is $250/sqft profit..

8% in cash after u paid up 20% during the first 8 weeks.

i think this is an unfair statement. i bought at 97 a freehold 3 bedroom apartment for slightly above a mil...but subseqently went on to purchase a terrace for less than the price of the apartment in 2003. what i meant was, the market decides..some will buy at high and some at low..even at $450 then it might not be the right decision...but of course it's a good buy today..btw, i gotten a unit 1st quarter last year not at $450 but $5++ for a high floor unit..

Wow, he bought so many ppty B4. Why buy the Quartz??

Already ask agent to do subsell, see got any FAT fish or not..

Cash it and buy a better one.

Urs high floor or low floor??

Mine low floor. If high floor, price will be more than $1.1 mil. Since pool facing, its OK for low floor so that its close enough to soak in the pool atmosphere. Else why buy pool facing. Yours which floor?

[Unregistered]

Basin looks low quality, hope developer will take note. the edges are too sharp and looks unfinish, may hurt hands during usage. taps also looks cheap.. why the masterbedrm toilet got no rain shower???

ya, the basin really cannot make it....

8% in cash after u paid up 20% during the first 8 weeks.

That means you pay 5% cash now, 15% (can be CPF or Cash right?) within 8 weeks. If you pay 5% cash and remaining 15% CPF, you will be getting 8% (i.e you gain 3% in Cash as you only pay 5% Cash) within 8 weeks right? Wow, what a good deal. Is this 8% cash rebate extend till next week?

wow, u must be good in maths.. That is provided u have enough $$$ in ur CPF. 8% rebate is for limited period. if respond is good, developer may decrease it to 5% or less.

Check out wi any agent at the showflat lah.

Ya la. Not too bad. Me working as a Engineer. Have a bit of CPF and I think enough to pay the balance 15% in full. Will do some calling tomorrow to see if the rebate still on?? Anyway, thanks alot.

Mine above 5 flr, ppl here talk about the finishes.. What ur comments?

I think the finishes is definitely not "top notch" but at least slightly above avg. The toilet basin is not well design for practicality. Did not max space for more storage and felt that the basin storage door would not last, eg. hinge will rust since humid in toilet and wood might also give way in no time. Noted that aircon provided is premium brand, ie. Daikin. The cupborad doors in the bedrooms, except master bedroom, also look filmsy. I think IKEA can provide better quality. Do you agree with my comments ? Anything to add/subtract?

Ya,agreed with you, but at that time and price for the TQ was so reasonable. I think should be ok loh. Compare to today pricing, the developer may want to give better quality finishing. eg the basin....

Obviously Daikin is the better brand. You can check with any Aircon Specialist who are experts in the market.

I think leading brand for home aircon is Mitsubishi and Daikin based on reliability and energy savings (inverter). Korean or other brands, eg. Mcquay, are inferior to these 2 Japanese brands.
