The Aristo @ Amber (D15, FH)

[Shawn]

so intelligent of u to use 1 week's data.
may i know which property firm do u represent as an agent?
i'l make it a point to avoid using anyone from there..
too bad u have tarnished the reputation of your property firm by all your silly analysis.

i am sure u should know by now how "well liked" n "popular" u are here.

Seem like Thomastan and fiat500 are the same person..haha doesnt matter. That same person seems to have a grudge on me. Anyway, you can call yrself whatever name or create a new profile..your opinion here is simply opinion and doesnt make any impact on the property market at all.

no,it has nothing to do with the property market at all.
surely i would want the property scene to be lively n vibrant..
its U that is the irritant here...
but u made the right move not to reveal the property firm u represent...so as not to tarnish its image.

Whatever u say. As long as u are happy.

I am just merely stating facts that for the past few weeks the weather had been gloomy and rainy, except this afternoon.

Personally, I would hope for some sun to come back, as I like a brighter day than a gloomy day. It all depends on preferences.

And I bet there are many who like their units to be bright than dark, and as such, having some sun is a plus point rather than none at all. Of course full sun facing is undesirable but then it has never been a major issue in condo purchase nowadays. The view is still paramount.

Whats the use of having a unit with no afternoon sun but its facing another unit, or facing a community centre or main road etc...? A seaview is a gem of an asset nowadays. Not many freehold condos nowadays have a seaview.

[marktkt22]

Saw a unit for sale, 2 bedder, 850k neg ? What your view ? Top soon .... How rental for Amber?

[thomastansb]

Nope, you are wrong on this.

One of the most CMI layout (in fact all CMI) and most buyers bot below 600k or <1k psf, you wanna pay more than 250k for this crap wif mechanical carpark?

i disagree with yr views..
for me,comfort of the house is more important..
no point coming back to a home that feels like an oven with a sea view.
take my neighbour's home as an eg: his unit has a beautiful view of the city's skyline,can even see mbs n the flyer. but during the day from noon onwards,his roller blinds n day curtains has to be drawn down due to the sun. the whole house is dim n hot.

as i said,most of our days in singapore are hot,humid n sunny with the exception of year end moonsoon season..

[marktkt22]

Actually afternoon sun is ok for me. You can still have great view of the city/flyer/MBS in the morning and night.

Best part is fireworks at the bay area and kallang stadium

[devilplate]

View is secondary to me....wana hf seaview, just drive to beach la....whahaha

Quiet and cooling hse is top priority for own stay.....gd for overall wellness

Only when ur hse is quiet and cooling den nice view will be a value added bonus

Imagine having a superb seaview but u cant sit at ur balcony to enjoy the view bcoz of the blarring heat and noise

dont forget,great view is only evident if yr unit is on a high floor...
those on lower levels wont get the seaview,flyer or mbs view but will still get the heat from the afternoon sun.

ultimately,comfort of yr home is still most important..

[thomastansb]

Depends. Some bought at 800+ psf, some bought > 1,500 psf. Depends on when they buy. Far east better. They seldom reduce their prices. Even reduce, they only sell the worst possible units at slightly lower pricing. They think for the buyers.

The layout itself is already IMO. Maybe it is just me but I would want a better layout and spacious unit than some half blocked seaview with plenty of trees blocking your view. Remember, east coast trees are about 10 stories tall and even at 15 floors, the view isn't that impressive. You need like > 20 at least to have a decent panoramic seaview. Half f*** seaview, I rather don't buy. This applies to all projects, not just this project. But Aristo is outstanding because of its "nice" layout.

But it will be noisy because it is confronted by a busy circle in front and a highway at the back. The sea view at the back will be partially blocked by silversea anyway.

Seriously I dont know what rubbish u are talking about. Continue to bring down The Aristo it shows how desperate you are interested in this development. Anyway Aristo at the peak economic growth was selling at $1700psf onwards for the high floor seafacing units and during the Lehman Crisis it went down to $1000psf mostly for lower floors leftovers.

It never did actually went down to $800psf as u mentioned. Probably u talking of a couple of units at lower floors sold in 2008/2009.

Dont forget during this Lehman Crisis period, The Sail At Marina Bay price also adjusted down from $2200psf to $1500psf as sellers become desperate. A unit at Marina Bay Residences was also selling at $1400psf and now its transacting at $2300psf or more. Just because there is not much transaction at The Aristo you cannot assume that The Aristo is not appreciating in value. The last transaction was for a 614 sq,ft, a unit layout facing The Cape, which i presume the worst facing in the whole development. All other owners of better layouts that I know of, especially those facing the sea view are asking above $1500psf minimum with many looking around $1700-1800psf. You can try yr luck bringing down The Aristo.

Dont even think I am an ignorant fool like many other buyers. I have years of experience in this industry. You can fool anyone else not me.

[hopeful]

.....

your statements are confusing.
so was it ever transacted at $800+ psf or not, at any point in time since launch?

Thomastan mentioned $800+ psf and not exactly $800psf.

[thomastansb]

Since you are so seasoned, as you claim, you should know prices don't move equally between different projects. You need me to teach you this also? MBR went from 1500 to 2300 doesn't mean Aristo will go from 1100 to 1900 psf. It could be stuck at 1300 psf even though all other projects are moving upwards. Or it could remain at a high although all projects are dropping. Looking at URA data, it would seems like the former.

And how many serious properties buyers actually care what is mentioned in forum?

its almost direct afternoon sun...

Yup best is stack 02 which has unblocked seaview from living as well as bedrooms. But it still has a partial morning and afternoon sun.

Talking about afternoon sun, I think I am starting to miss the sun. It has been weeks of raining and no sun. So I am just wondering if facing afternoon sun really matters anymore hahaha.

If you dont want afternoon sun, you can consider Stack 1 which has morning sun but mostly blocked by Silversea, or Stack 4, which has no seaview but partial afternoon sun and owners selling around $1300-1500psf. If you hoping to buy stack 2 and 3 for that kinda price just because they have morning or afternoon sun, you can drop the idea. Nobody going to sell it to you cause they know these 2 stacks have good seaviews.

I just sold Meyerise 3 bedroom facing partial afternoon sun at above $2300 psf. Do you think people bother about afternoon sun nowadays especially with new film technology, window dressing, trellis, and the fact that we barely see the sun for weeks ?

You better grab cause you aint going to see this kind of pricing anymore once The Aristo TOP. Mark my post here and 6 months later you come back to check. Stack 4 nevertheless has no seaview and its just beside The Cape facing. So no matter wat, Stack 4 will sell above $1500psf when its TOP. The other stacks will sell above $1600psf depending on floor level of course.

Thanks for your feedback. This person called Thomastan who also uses other nick seem to be targeting The Aristo probably he has missed the boat in buying during the Lehman Crisis and hoping that Aristo will drop to $800psf. A place in Amber Road drops to $800psf?? You can continue to dream on Thomas. We agents know what to price condos based on location and facing and floor level.

Even DBSS HDB already pricing around $700psf needless to say they are not even freehold and not in Amber Road or near the sea. And 99-year condos near bedok reservoir is already calling at $1200psf for some smaller units. Even worn down marine parade HDB 3-bedroom (60 sq.metre) is calling above $400k. So blaming it on afternoon sun, small layout, small land etc wont reflect well on you.

I just sold a 3 bedroom Meyerise condo for $2300psf and the owner is buying to stay. Lots of condos in these area are owner occupation and not for rental.

A 50% drop is unlikely in fact Singapore is still facing a shortage in houses due to the limit in supply from 1998-2004 which create this excessive demand overhang. Buyers are just waiting on the sideline due to the cooling stock market and economic review.

And these low transactions happen in 2008/2009. Everyone knows what happens during this period...unless you pretend to be ignorant.

Oh yeah, I think I miss the boat. Oppss.. And ya, just take it that I was trying to bring down to 800 psf. Just take it that I was bullshitting about lousy layout, weird proportion of balcony size, useless planters surrounding the unit, ridiculous bay window area.

Still, I don't see your logic about DBSS 700 psf or bedok 1200 psf. It doesn't matter when prices fall. Bishan 8 was selling at record high in late 90s so ????? Meaning prices don't drop below 1.1k psf? Hmm.. Flawed logic.

1997, 2001, 2003, 2008, ????.

Thanks for your feedback. This person called Thomastan who also uses other nick seem to be targeting The Aristo probably he has missed the boat in buying during the Lehman Crisis and hoping that Aristo will drop to $800psf. A place in Amber Road drops to $800psf?? You can continue to dream on Thomas. We agents know what to price condos based on location and facing and floor level.

Even DBSS HDB already pricing around $700psf needless to say they are not even freehold and not in Amber Road or near the sea. And 99-year condos near bedok reservoir is already calling at $1200psf for some smaller units. Even worn down marine parade HDB 3-bedroom (60 sq.metre) is calling above $400k. So blaming it on afternoon sun, small layout, small land etc wont reflect well on you.

Sound familiar. Someone said the same thing end of 2008..

I just sold a 3 bedroom Meyerise condo for $2300psf and the owner is buying to stay. Lots of condos in these area are owner occupation and not for rental.

A 50% drop is unlikely in fact Singapore is still facing a shortage in houses due to the limit in supply from 1998-2004 which create this excessive demand overhang. Buyers are just waiting on the sideline due to the cooling stock market and economic review.
