Just went over for the preview on saturday. Cheapest for a 3br is 750k onwards and is 3rd floor, which is approx $660psf. The planter and balcony will take up alot of space in the living room. As for the master bedroom, they do not have bathtub unless you are buying 4br. There are many people around but I don't see any queues. I have seen both Livia and Oasis project, personally, I would think Livia is better, but just that there are too many units over there.

As for oasis, the estimated maintenance fee for a 2br is around $180, 3br&4br is $210 which I think the price is quite reasonable.

So I guess market is pretty selective? Snapping up 8@Woodleigh but not Oasis hee.

Just went for the preview today. The response is lukewarm, no queues but seats are full. The cheapest of the cheapest 2 bedroom unit is 02-08, face HDB block, cost 614k by IAS, normal payment is 3% less. Floor area is 980sqft. Only block 60, 62 and 66 are released.

03-12 cost 624k IAS 980sqft
04-06 cost 620k IAS 947sqft
04-08 cost 622k IAS 980sqft

Drove past on Sat and I think it was very crowded. Avoided the showroom on Sat. Went down on Sunday (not that crowded).

I dun like the furnishing. Condo features are also quite standard (no unique features). Only thing that the agent kept emphasizing on was the seaview which were limited to the high floors selected units. The master bedroom does not have a balcony (subjective) and the living room balcony is huge (reminds me of Kovan Residences).

In terms of quantum, it is cheap especially for the 2 bedders. At the current market momentum, this is probably a cheap find for those who aspire condo living.

BTW, I heard from the agent that they are closing the showroom today and will reopen over the weekend with a higher price. (new to this agent and not sure if she is playing typical sales tactic).

Robust private home sales in June

But it is too early to call a recovery, cautions OCBC Investment Research

By UMA SHANKARI


(SINGAPORE) Private home sales stayed strong in June.


Freehold property: Artist's impression of Vista Residences; Far East Organization's Mr Chia says that buyers are mainly Singaporeans and there is strong interest from young professional managers, teachers and civil servants

Far East Organization sold 74 apartments in its 280-unit Vista Residences at a private preview last weekend, the developer said yesterday.

And Frasers Centrepoint said that it has fully sold two of its projects - the 330-unit 8@Woodleigh and the 110-unit Woodsville 28. Homes at 8@Woodleigh went for an average of $790 per sq ft (psf), while units at Woodsville 28 sold for an average price of $775 psf.

8@Woodleigh was launched just two weeks ago. Woodsville 28 was launched in July 2008 but most units languished until the buying momentum returned to the market this year.

Over at the freehold Vista Residences - on Jalan Dusun and Jalan Datoh at the corner of Thomson Road - prices start at $960 psf. The project will be officially launched tomorrow, but Far East released 88 units at a weekend preview, and 85 per cent of them were snapped up.

'Buyers are mainly Singaporeans and there is particularly strong interest from young professional managers, teachers and civil servants who are buying to occupy,' said Chia Boon Kuah, chief operating officer of Far East Organization's property arm.

While units at Vista Residences have sold for more than homes in the nearby The Arte - a City Developments project where units were launched at an average price of $880 psf in March - the difference in pricing is due to the difference in unit sizes and floor plans, analysts say.

'Vista Residences offer smaller size units that command higher psf pricing and also smaller balcony space than The Arte,' OCBC Investment Research analyst Foo Sze Ming said in a note yesterday. 'As such, we caution that the strong buying momentum at higher psf pricing for the new launch should not be viewed as a new uptrend for property prices.'

Mr Foo said that it is too early to call a recovery in the property market. 'We remain unconvinced by the recent 'recovery' in the physical property market,' he said.

'We believe buying strength over the recent weeks could have been driven by the spillover effect from earlier pent-up demand that drew cash rich local investors back into the market. In our view, potential catalysts for price increase will have to come from an inflow of foreign funds into the property market, as well as a pick up in employment opportunities.'

Foreign funds were the driving force of the property boom in 2007, but have not come back to the market in a big way.

Looking ahead, more mass-market and mid-market launches are expected in the coming weeks, including Oasis@Elias, a 388-unit, 99-year leasehold project at Elias Road by Chip Eng Seng, and The Gale, a 329-unit, freehold project at Flora Road by Tripartite Developers.

CEL Development launching remaining units of Oasis @ Elias

02 July 2009 1958 hrs (SST) 1158 hrs (GMT)

SINGAPORE: CEL Development is launching the remaining units of its Oasis @ Elias condominium at Pasir Ris on Saturday.

Half of the 142 units previewed have been sold, at an average price of S$670 per square foot.

The units that have been sold included six of nine penthouses in the property.

Marketing agent CB Richard Ellis said HDB upgraders made up 80 per cent of the buyers.

The strong take-up rate reflects the current popularity of mass market private property among homebuyers.

The recently launched 8 @ Woodleigh condominium at Potong Pasir was fully sold within two weeks, while Vista Residences in Balestier has also seen a strong take-up rate for the units launched so far.

Oasis @ Elias is a 99-year leasehold property, and comprises six blocks of two to five-room apartments.

I have seen both Livia and Oasis project, personally, I would think Livia is better, but just that there are too many units over there.

here's a blogsite that offers comparisons. although oasis has less units, furnishing at livia is a notch higher.

personally, i think livia will be a good buy. if u compare livia with caspian, both have almost same num of units but livia has twice the land size! so can imagine how crowded caspian's going to be. but yet its so popular.

[oapsg]

today's ad, $576psf..

[azeoprop]

It seems that they are going to do a re-launch soon...hrmmm.

[jitkiat]

Problem of oversupply & competition from Livia / resale from Ris Grandeur which is freehold. Too far from future 4th university and DTL3. Again, if Pasir Ris HDB 5room go up another 20% ... probably easy to sell.

[kasper]

Anyone knows the new pricing after the re-launch?

[azeoprop]

Streetsine shows one record in sept #12-06 980sqft 577psf 565k.
Quite a good price for high floor and partial pool facing.

Maybe 3 bedders 550psf haa haa.

[kasper]

just been to the showroom recently..cheapest 620k++..dun have any below 600k...is this a subsale or what??
