The Quartz @ Buangkok (99LH By Guocoland)

[Alan Tam]

The starting price for this project was averaged at around 550psf. But of course, those are unit that not facing the pool. So the question is how much people are willing to pay extra for a pool facing unit? That should determine the bottom price of this project in near future.

By the way, banks are starting to tighten housing loan. Next year, we will see new DPS units flooding the market.
By then, it will be a great time to increase your inventory. Ultimately, Singapore is a small island. Property next to MRT is still have great potential.

You are right! Isaac, properties that's next to MRT is have great potential. Once the circle line is up, MRT is going to be very convenience for us to travel around in singapore. Those who stay next to MRT will save alot of time in travelling and the value of the properties will increase.

For me, I am buying to stay, so whatever the price now is not that important to me. I got my unit at $600 psf last year and I think at this point of time, not many investors have the money to invest, so those who need to buy to stay should be fine at the current psf.

The recession may not be that long as we predict ( 2-3 year), if it recover by end next year than the prices will move up again. Anyway, Singapore is still a small country and land is scarce.

Did you just brought it recently at 600psf from developer?

[kasper]

Nope. Confirmed. I just went down again earlier on like 3 hours back. That is the package for me now (maybe not for everyone). Maybe times are really bad now. Hahaha. I know they used to be quite stubborn but seems like that is the package now. Up to you to believe. Maybe they raise the price and increase the discount? Shall wait and see then. But 25th Dec showflat close or 15 Dec close? If 25 Dec, then can wait a while more.

Dun have 16% promotion lei...who is ur agent? can share his/her contact with me? keen to buy a unit too if got 16% cash back..

[kasper]

Hi
I think you got all the informations wrong. I just bought my unit there and the developer is very stubborn on lowering the price any further. I dont think they will offer different package to different buyer. Maybe you would want to check again.

Hi you bought it at 12% cash back + 3% rebate + free 1 yrs maintenance fee? After All discount what your psf?

[axela_3]

Well, if that's the case, I guess it's either your agent is really desperate or he/she must really like you.

My cousin who visited the showflat today, with the intention of purchasing a unit upon hearing your discount, was told that there's no such package available. Btw, he was served by an ERA agent. Could it be that CBRE is having a different scheme altogether?

Anyway could you be a kind soul as to recommend your agent to us so that all the potential buyers in this forum could benefit from it?

[axela_3]

Great . Mine is at blk 57.

Can't wait to move in to Quartz. Think that apply to everyone who have bought Quartz.

Same here. Hopefully, we can start to build a small community here so that we can get together after we move in.

[axela_3]

Hi you bought it at 12% cash back + 3% rebate + free 1 yrs maintenance fee? After All discount what your psf?

Yes. When I bought it about 3 weeks back, it was still at 12+3+1yr. After the discount, it's about 690psf.

[axela_3]

I think it's about 2.95M (+/-).

Ha Ha, no prob. Me and my wife both love to play MJ too.

Do keep in touch when Quartz is completed and let find more MJ Kaki.

BTW, is there any room in the Quartz Club House that can be just for MJ?

Yah i was thinking about it too but heard from my collegue who stay in condo said clubhouse usually will not allow majong as it is a form of gambling act. If they allow then it will be wonderful. As i have 2 kids, we dont play mj at home.

[Alan Tam]

Did you just brought it recently at 600psf from developer?

I got it last year when the market was about to move up. BTW, I think the price of TQ will not fall below $650 psf, as HDB DBSS is already selling at about $550 to $600 psf in most of the area like AMK and bishan.

To enjoy all the facilities in TQ and convenience of MRT, I think it is really worth.

[TQ63]

Yes. When I bought it about 3 weeks back, it was still at 12+3+1yr. After the discount, it's about 690psf.

Do you mind to share with us how big is your unit?

[axela_3]

Do you mind to share with us how big is your unit?

Hi, which blk did u buy and at which level is your unit?

[Unity]

I'm new here and was wondering what would be the avrg psf for stack 61, 63 at the moment as I have been given big discrepencies in the range from $650 to $730 for mid level unit? Is this right?

Hi Unity,

From your above pricing, looks to me that $730 is developer sales mid level before the 12% discount. $650 is from subsale. Am I right?

Maybe you should elaborate more in details so that some forumers can help.

[quartz]

Thanks for sharing this piece of info.

[Unity]

Thanks for your help.

An agent told me that from Level 7-9 on Stack 61 / 63, the avrg psf for 1066 or 1195 sqf unit is $680 psf after all the discounts. Is this right or too high? These are for units facing Buangkok Drive.

Another projects going TOP in the north East Area. Looking at the Caveat lodge, pricing ranging from $600+ to $700+ PSF. Maybe worth to look into it now as historically, pricing for the mass market will pick up once it is going to TOP or near TOP. Will have people buying in for stay.

Just my humble opinion.

[quartz]

Thanks for sharing this piece of info.

Hi Kennt, Blk 57,

No Prob. Hope all the buyers in this forum could have a get together once project is TOP.
