I have 4 weeks to decide. Tts y tis called 'option'. In a down market, options r the detriment of sellers. UnfortunatelyOriginally Posted by Petmail

it now boils down to the rivergate saga
actually checked with a lot agents from many different agenices and developers etc... but most said they heard of such rumours but do not have any concrete truth on such deals or issues going on.

Huh?? It's already reported on a financial paper as Ferrel Asset Mgmt intends to unload 90 units more.. I think I read it in THE EDGEOriginally Posted by Petmail

Go and buy the magazine called "THE EDGE"..
Don't be penny wise, pound foolish...
It says..
"Ferrell Asset Management is now looking to offload more than 90 apartments in RiverGate, with an indicative selling price of $950psf."
do you guys think rivergate a better investment than other condos in river valley or newton area?
petmall, you have any good buys for cosmopolitan or similar at launch prices?
my friend is looking for a unit. no great hurry, no need loan though if not too expensive
thanks

At the 545-unit RiverGate, a waterfront condominium with landmark status along the Singapore River, funds managed by Ferrell Asset Management Ltd bought 100 apartments for $182 million in 2005 prior to the launch. The high-end condominium developed by CapitaLand and Hwa Hong Corp was initially launched in mid-2005 at an average price of $1,080 psf. By August 2006, transaction prices had escalated to $1,700 psf. In 2007, at the peak of the property boom, several units changed hands above $2,000 psf, with one, a large 2,992 sq ft apartment on the 38th floor, sold in the sub-sale market for close to $7.66 million, or $2,560 psf in July of that year, according to URA Realis database of caveats.
The two most recent caveats lodged with URA Realis in December at RiverGate were for two 1,550 sq ft apartments — one was sold for $1,100 psf and another for $1,419 psf in the sub-sale market. According to market sources, Ferrell Asset Management is now looking to offload more than 90 apartments in RiverGate, with an indicative selling price of $950 psf. The project is expected to obtain TOP sometime this year.

Even according to The Edge, they can only say "According to market sources". In any case, it appears that Ferrell, if rumour is proven true, wants to sell to a single buyer, which is likely to be a fund similar to ARA's Asia Dragon Fund which bought bulk units of Grange Infinite and thus, likely to grant a discount to 950psf. Currently, individuals are likely to be able to buy from the others only at launch prices which are closer to $1100psf, but of course we won't know if it might go down somemore in a few months time.
Nonetheless, I agree that the RiverGate is a superior development to others in the River Valley area and worth looking out for. For me, I feel that living beside the river sure beats the busy cross junction where the Cosmopolitan is located and the units and bedrooms, pool, facilities, landscape are also larger than that of Cosmopolitan. The drawback is that there are more units.
If u want rivergate, come look for me....have lots of units in hand but most prob only can view when i get keys from my owners in most prob-march.
All sizes that range from 2br-4br and nt forgetting the penthouses as well.
As long as offers are reasonable, will try my best to push the deal thru for u.
If u hav any further enquiries, i can be contacted @ 81835132 =)
Cheers mates
Reasonable for who? Sellers? Or Buyers? As a buyer, a reasonable price to me is $700 psf for Rivergate 2-bedder. If seller do not agree, do not bother to contact buyers.Originally Posted by home-run
Okay, if you can get a 1500 sqft south facing unt at 1 mil, count me in. issue cheque immediatelyOriginally Posted by home-run
You can count me in as well. Most probably you can count on anyone who looking to buy right now. $700psf is a steal. But my own assessment is that all this talk of 700psf is just wishful thinking. But if the 'durian' wants to fall in front of me then who am I to refuse.Originally Posted by East Lover
my offer $700 psf for 2 brOriginally Posted by home-run
if had.. PM me
Put me on the list as well !
2/3 br ok for me @ $700psf. Issue cheque immediately.
we should ask home run or Pet or Joe to represent us for a group discount at $700 psf for Rivergate (since Esta no hope at 700 psf liao...)Originally Posted by gfoo
Heard some rumours that all 80 units from fund house sold at $750psf flat this morning... can anyone confirm...?
if it is true... it turn out to be low floor/big unit at $700psf , high floor/small unit at $800psf.

Assuming F bought at average $1,080 or maybe $1k psf, F sell back to Capland at similar px or reported $950psf, i reckon not a bad deal for CapL as thet can resell at $1080 or $1.1k psf to their "preferred customer". CapL has the resources to do this and probably make at least $10+ mil along the way.
I believe what you all heard are just rumours.
They will not sell below 1200psf.
thanks for the trust and opportunity... i will update you guys if i do have any RG for sale @ good price!Originally Posted by East Lover

Got this update from my agent as well that it was sold to a single buyer today, keeping my fingers crossed but let's hope that they are willing to sell at a "reasonable" price for buyers if it is trueOriginally Posted by i12buyhouse
I was informed that the psf sold is $880 for all units, can anyone confirm on this?
now that single buyer will flip the units? LOLOriginally Posted by dtrax
