    Can you quote example where the supply coming from? What is the possible launching price of the loads of supply?

    Wow in this case I should thank u on behalf of all buyers. So what if I m cash rich to hold on to my properties n not in any keen to sell if the px is not up to my expectation. If everyone think like u, then there will b no buyer who is willing to fork out for a premium unit. I would think it is more important to buy a place u like n enjoy staying than to sting on the price. If this is so then go n buy stack 01 or 02 cheap n everyday hear the mrt noise!

    Probably u r interested in buying a unit at Metro. By condeming the price hoping some sellers will dump their units n u get a steal out of it. This is called sour grape!

    Relax bro. In this forum is like that. All the properties not good. Sure have something to condemn. Just take it as a way for them to let go their Frustrations loh.

    Who can name which is the best condo in Singapore? All stacks unblock view, no west sun, no road noise, no heavy traffic, no wasted spaces(bay window/planters), no bad fengshui, and most importantly! At the price of 1980s.

    Yup, this post sure kena suay again. But tonight still and and .

    Dun worry, this condo doesn't interest me the least bit. First its not freehold/ 999LH, and secondly its not in a location which I consider blue-chip. Nothing to sour grape about. I have sold off all my properties by early 2008 save for 3 properties in D9/10. 1 own stay, 1 each for both my sons. I'm thus still on a lookout for good properties at a good price. And at $1100 psf, its definitely not worth it at all. At $1,100 or less, one can easily pick up Marbella for instance. Metro? Not even if its $700, let alone $1,100 psf.

    There could be suckers out there to line your wallets, but it certainly wouldnt be from me.

    Btw, you dun sound like a `bro', no offence, but you sound like how a woman typically (not all woman though) will argue a case.

    Don't argue lah.. Willing buyer, happy seller mah.. 1100psf? Haha. We know it's a joke but who cares. If got idiot buy at 2500psf, better for the seller mah. I don't mind if anyone match my asking price of 4k psf for my Sail.

    I will go straight for Twin Regency / Regency Suite. Redhill location is good but TB is much better. Anyway, banks only offer 800+ psf for their valuation. The remaining 300psf you have to fork out yourself. Assuming 775 sqft, you need about 200k cash + 20% downpayment lor. Don't forget, some freehold at river valley/LH tanjong rhu selling around 900+ only. But again, willing buyer, happy seller.

    If you want to BUY metropolitan, you are arriving at a wrong timing. TOP time of all development is always the highest. You should have come 6 months ago or maybe you does but keep on lowering your price then.

    There is many stronghold owner in Singapore. The only way you stand a chance in getting TOP project is after 3 mths onward. The weak link will appear that they cannot Rent at time running out or sell at their desire price. Keep a look with some agents who are expert on the projects and set your reasonable target price. Work with bank mortgauge specialist as and when so you would not miss when time arise.

    I did not mention only Metro, it does happen on TOP projects.
    My 2 cents worth of contribution you may defer.

    My goodness, what you are quoting is last year news. And based on the fact of the news, this year pte housing price should go down even further. Now is already Jun 2009 with many supplies going to TOP. May I ask if you are seeing prices going down?

    It has TOP. But exact date not sure. I believe the developer is now serving the notice of TOP to the lawyer.

    out of curiousity went to see The Metro
    it has TOPed
    Comments :
    1. TOP is the worst time to buy. Prices being asked so ridiculous now. A lot of em asking 1100 psf
    2. Build quality is rather poor. For this price, u get not even marble flooring. The layout is poor. Most kitchens dont have proper place for sitting the fridge. The cabinets are all dullish coloured.
    3. The gym is very small. The pool is amazingly small.
    4. Those facing the HDB - asking price is like 900 psf now is pretty noisy. The MRT noise is not so funny.
    5. Those facing the Tanglin side - the bedrooms gets noon sun at an angle.
    FINAL CONCLUSION : AVOID AT THIS PRICE Broker said units switching hands ard 1000 psf - till we see the caveats it is hear say.
    Over next 3 years if there is decline like 20pct may consider.

    This place is worth at most $700+psf. To the south, MRT track noise. To the North, adjacent to Utility & Religious instituition LH pty surrounded by HDB. It is better value getting Central Grove besides Aljunied MRT. MRT travel time to city is the same. Best thing is it cost only around $600psf.

    Don't know about finishings, views, etc, but was coming around the bend near Metro and noticed that the condo is very exposed to the public eye. Not sure if they are going to fence up the area eventually, but at the moment, anybody can look in. Kinda feel the condo is too near the main road; lack of exclusivity about the place.

    With that said, it's super near the MRT station, so noise notwithstanding, it's a very convenient location and near to Orchard as well. I guess it's a trade off.

    The TOP part is partly true, the other part is the current market price already moved upwards. However, if you are intended to stay around that area (Within 2-3KM), there are no other new developments selling cheaper than $1000psf. This could be the reason for the high asking price especially with the coming launch from AS. Reasonsable price in the current market should be $850-900psf depending on facing and size.

    plenty of viewings available these few days

    for myself, I think I will go nuts listening to the MRT noise and next the dirt and noise when A.Sky is built over next two years

    convenience of next to MRT is simply not good enuf to overcome the setbacks

    its one of the worst projects in my opinion

    the MRT track actuallys goes rite thru, where the kiddie wadding pool is

    its a joke that people are asking these prices - suckers are born each day

    Just thought of this. Since ownership of a Landed pty includes the airspace above the land, does ownership of a unit at a condo includes joint ownership with other condo owners of the land of the condo? If so, if the tracks go thru the project, who owns the part of the mrt track above the grounds of the condo? Anybody has knowledge of this? Pls advise. Tks

    i agree. my friend viewed a >#40 unit. he said asking price 1000 to 1100psf. i said, hey, that's prime district prices, not 99 year leasehold, can hear mrt even at >#40 kind of prices. good view of sea and sentosa but err...its just a port view isn't it? and in between all you see are blocks and blocks of hdb. indeed, A.Sky construction going to be noisy as well. not to mention there is a plot of land beside these 2 which is zoned for residential but has yet to be released for sale.

    i wonder how relaxing it is to be dipping in the swimming pool and listen to the mrt go buy every few minutes.

    really, MRT track actualy goes above this project? It is just incredible. I don't think that there would be projects as bad as this one. I didn't believe that this was possible.

    residents have as much right as homeless people around the world to say "I live under a railroad track." How is that for someone who paid 1 plus million to pay to condo there?
