    I haven't seen Medge 2 bedder so can't really comment with regards to layout. Location wise is ok only. Zedge is way better.

    Why not try Pavilion 11 as Montebleu is too near to Balestier. Pavilion 11 2nd flr is almost Montebleu 9th flr.. 30flr already overlook Montebleu..
    Pavilion 11 is all private lift unit.

    Based on the current progress I can see from the outside, this place needs another 2-3 months.

    This makes rental a bit tougher as expats inflow during end Q2 is usually a bit lower.

    I seriously doubt that.

    Recently a 2BR 1,0xx sqft unit at M21 1x floor was rented out for $5,900 pm.

    This kinda of ads, usually done by agents to trick people to call them, then put these people in their database. When u call, they may bluff bluff negotiatate a bit with you, then say unit rented out liao.

    I tried calling a few times on such "low priced" ads, the responses are the same.

    Devilplate - why not u give them a ring and if they can rush down with the Tenancy agreement, then share with us.

    maybe the desperate owner ganjiong and quickly tenanted out at 4.2k once it TOP last year? back then rental was still very weak? now desperate to sell coz rental can't cover the installments. u call lah, then bargain down and buy.

    I predict that in the next 6 months, there will be significant increase in the number of cases of significant "rental cannot cover instalments" resulting in decrease in transacted prices.

    This maybe worsened if the Fed decide to raise rates in Q4 this year (or Q1 next year, but news released out in Q4 this year).

    Recently I have seen quite a few units and made some computations to conclude the owners who bought in the run-up in 2009 are now facing the monthly out of pocket ranging from a few hundred bucks to $2-3K in some prime locations.

    If prices have more or less peaked (ie only a 5-8% increase predicted) and interest rates can only go one way (up). Whats next ?

    Just my own observations,
    DKSG

    PS: Off to view another of these condos now ...

    that's a good update! view more and share more.

    but i think interest rates won't go up so soon. looks more like delayed to Q4 2011.

    How is the workmanship and furnishing of this project? I think this is Soilbuild's biggest project to date. Comparable to bigger developers?
