    Any updates on prices? Normal for developer to up the price by a bit so that the buyers would exercise their Options. If they lower it, the buyers would not be happy and could possibly walk away. Maybe increase by $1 per psf would also make the buyers happy.

    thats a very valid and interest thought ... you'll never know how the developer's mind works ...

    and knowing sporeans ... crowded means 'cheap' .. expensive means 'good'

    govt knows sporeans well ... developers know sporeans even better

    hmm...... but things have changed, land cost is higher, development cost is higher... Though $6XX plus psf can still get city fringe projects... 999 or FH some more...., they are not exactly near to MRT types. D12,13,14 can try... Woodsville28 $7xx plus only.

    If Caspian is around $6XX psf, personally, I would think that CCK is a better choice. Up to individuals... the same goes for cars, if you need a transport, a cherrrry QQ would get you there as compared to a million dollar sports car.

    Are you saying that those sports car owners are fools? Up to individual lah, if they lose money, it is also their luck. if they make money.... it is their smart choice.

    And most likely will be "sheltered" by a future condo development.

    well they didnt showing the mosque which is 200-300 m away ..but they show the MRT which is abt 150 -250 m away ?

    they also didnt show the railway track behind .. ???

    check around, potential buyers ... dont wait till you move in to find the mosque 'music' and cars parked along the road on fridays ....

    and the train back and forth from malaysia ...about 4 times a day ? i think last train is like midnight ...

    YES and NO on the map.

    Yes, the map missed the mosque and there will be slight traffic inconvenienced on every Friday afternoon.

    No, on the railway tracks, it's a far distance away from Mi Casa compared to Yew Mei Green, Windermere and The Quintet.

    this is not Far North uncle!

    One of the lowest PSF islandwide and in the north is northoaks!

    The Mosque thing is ok lah.. it will be blocked when the new development comes up years later. You can enjoy the unblock view for years till the sale of land beside it.... usually will be at or above the price of land for your condo... (Govt sets reserve price and the successful bidder pays what is acceptable to the Govt. Otherwise, Govt is better off to keep the land for sale later...) do you think the reserve price would be much lower? Not likely.

    if new land released is much higher, you get a chance to enjoy what the warren and northvale folks are enjoying right now... MI CASA has resulted in their asking price close or matching MI CASA (one old and the other under construction). Next part is the matching with buyers... where there would be some discounts to close the deal.

    Nowdays, many projects near Church, Mosque, Temple and others...As long as your unit is not looking directly into the Mosque, Church, Temple, still can live with it.. the factors are priced in...

    Personally, I have viewed a HDB 5 room unit, 3rd floor and right next to a Mosque....looking directly into the Mosque... it took >3 years to offload it at a huge discount to market prices then. But next block to it never had such problem... even enjoy price appreciation. It really depends on what is considered close.... (5 meters?) versus 200 - 300 meters (which is not exactly close). The HDB blocks across the road is closer. Check out their resale prices.

    The train to/from Malaysia is 800m away, behind buildings and an embankment so i think this is the least of the issues to bear in mind.

    I like you reply.

    But anyway, are we comparing between Caspian & Mi Casa? If so,
    don't need to compare too much lah. Compare developer can already..

    FCL vs FEO? Need to chose meh.. Mi Casa MSC right?

    Yes, and one comes with a better finishing than the other.... and much nearer to the MRT.... However, one is much much further away from town though the other is also quite far but not as far.

    The sales speak for itself... one is 85% sold and the other 50%? (update with new figures appreciated) Anyway to each his own... If I want to consider Caspian, I would try to wait for the release of land next to it... at least got chance to get lake view units and unblocked! If I want to consider MICASA, I would try to wait for the price to come down...

    Between the two.. mainly for hdb upgraders and self stay... which is a better choice would be revealed in time. If you know for certain, then choose. If you can afford it... D9,10,11 FH is a better investment choice. Added plus if it is near to MRT or walking distance to MRT? Should be looking at $1000 psf and above...

    The country itself? Maybe.

    The brains of most kiasu Singaporeans? Are.
