i called.. bluff one...Originally Posted by x11
hugh? i searched and found that one, quite some time already but i didn't call ... called another agent when he advertised a unit for carabelle on thursday or friday and during our small talk - he also said infiniti facing AYE around $590psf. i didn't follow-up because i no interest. so this agent also bluff? if that's the case, i better avoid this guy - why are agents "talking down" infiniti? so that interested people will call them? i'm confuzed ...Originally Posted by code01
EDIT - ADDON - which also means that we need to weed out the fake from the ads? OMG, isn't this making it even tougher?

Not entirely true. Many facing the west have botannia as a shield against the sun in the afternoon. Just look at Google Earth. Thanks, botannia.
hey guys, this might be rather belated. but i just noticed the new upcoming mrt line will include a stop at west coast? anyone knows if the station will be near carabelle? haha or when the station is expected to be ready?
with mrt n the condo shuttle to clementi, maybe can really consider carabelle (when prices sweeten!) without getting a car to avoid the peak hour jams...
hi again!
woah i heard the news that JP Morgan is reporting good news, following right behind Citibank yesterday.. does this mean the market will soon start to pick up gradually?
oh no, so do u all think, after we waited so long and hard for a good priced unit, but in the end sellers might really not cut their prices eventually cuz economy is going to improve soon? sigh!

said Stellar(freehold) got one penthouse 4 bedroom ..going cheap, cheaper than 99yrs Varsity Park ... think owner oversea ... no time to manage rental ..so selling ...
think its 2270 sqft
May I know how much it is
Hi, wonder if anybody face similar respond from the seller agent (which they claim to be).
Saw a unit Carabelle listing for $650psf on ST paper, find out which stack and went down to view the unit facing. Decided to make offer next day but when try contacting her to check if still available - there is no repsond at all.
Strange.. why?
Lots of tricks being used these days to gauge market demand. A property speculator once told me that its a modus operanti used by them to find out how much interest there is from potential buyers. So if the interest is very strong they would themselves go out & try to secure the property first. They would then try to unload it to genuine buyers for a reasonable gain.Originally Posted by david8387
These speculators also have strong connections with property agents & are willing to pay more commissions to them if they can get lower prices for the properties.
Its really a minefield out there for genuine sellers & buyers. Thats why, it's important to know the fair value of the property for both sellers & buyers. Otherwise you could be taken advantage of by crafty people.

Hi ,Originally Posted by ryanyuen
Any idea what is it TOP date?
may i know any side gate to bus stop at West coast high way? I know The Inifiniti has , but not sure If Carabelle has. I like carabell's lay out, and wonder if there's sea view ?
Tks
Ryanyuen ?? you paid 830 psf for the penthouse ??Originally Posted by puppet
when is that ? since when carabelle 830 psf ?
I think he clinched the deal in early 2008, when the market was still hot. but you know what, carabelle is holding up very well against the neighboring condos. Carabelle was launced at 550-630 psf, and botannia was at 700 plus at launch. But the two condos basically are transacted at the same price.Originally Posted by proud owner
so currently they are both around 680-700 psf ?? they are FHOriginally Posted by stalingrad
while 99yr Clementiwoods and Varsity Park are about 600-630 and 650-680 psf respectively ...though havent seen much Varsity transactions of late
and FH Stellar is .. 660-680 psf i think ... in other words Stellar is cheapest
Hi all,
I'm looking for 4 rm min FH in this 4 ppty, wants to be short walking distance to bus stop at High way and near amenities.
any advise on this 4 ppty, need to move bu this yr.
Thks
Tell you the history about this area. the infiniti was launched in 2006 at less than 600 psf, and no one gave a damn about this condo. It was close to the highway and it has an odd shape. Carabelle was launched in February or March in 2007 at $590-$630 and was sold out in a month. the market was getting hot, so CDL and Capitaland launched botannia at 700 plus psf in March 2007 and still have not sold all units as of today. But the high prices of botannia made people think that the infiniti and carabelle were cheap, and the condos were sold out shortly.Originally Posted by proud owner
In march 2007, one had many choices. You can buy the infinit for 630 psf, carabelle for 600psf, and botannia for 700 plus. You can also buy the stellar at 700 psf plus, and clementiwoods at 600 plus psf. Now all these condos are transacted at basically the same price psf. Now, you tell me which condo offered the best value back in March 2007. Of course, it is carabelle. that is why I said that carabelle is holding well very well against the neighbors.

thanks ...great info ...Originally Posted by stalingrad
the fininit: dirty and noisy, but the cheapest. it is also less accessible, given its location. You need to walk a long way to get to a bus stop.Originally Posted by puppet
carabelle: less dirty and less noisy, especially those units toward the west. the best in terms of accessibility. its two meters away from bus stops on AYE.
botannia: least dirty and least noisy, but accessibility is a problem. one needs to walk a long way to get to anywhere.
monterey park, less dirty and less noisy, and better accessibility, close to bus stops along west coast road.
In may way, if you can buy a unit in each condo at the same price, go for
1. monterey park, 2. carabelle, 3. botannia and 4. the infiniti.
at this moment, monterey park is the most expensive, follwed by botannia, carabelle, and the infiniti. But the gaps are very small.

The Infiniti is FHOriginally Posted by proud owner
Botannia is 956 LH
Monterey Park is 999LH
Carabelle not sure whether 99LH/999LH ? Have to find out from Sim Lian Developer
technically the Infiniti is FH, Botania & Carabelle are 999 yrs.Originally Posted by proud owner
so all FH.
Originally Posted by noblebaby

i was once told that 999, govt still can take back part or whole of land and pay you 1965 price ...
is that right ?
Allow me to add on:
The Infiniti: Yes, very noisy. You won't feel the joy when walking in the condo surrounding, too noisy! Some units layout are very odd. You may even find a huge pillar inside some of the master bedrooms.
Carabelle: Selling at sky high compared to the launch price. Best units are those facing the pool. Those facing landed are west facing, hot like hell during evening.
Botannia: More N-S facing. But expensive. Traffic jam at the entrance coz the road is connecting to the Infinit. Very narrow road.
The only good thing about these 3 projects is FH. other than that, not a very good place to live. Makan place n Mrt is quite far. Some time also lazy to drive out or take bus.
