    yup - and the only units that are selling have so many agents advertising at different prices that i have to ask them to confirm whether it is the same unit being sold...

    the MRT being constructed next to the tennis court and the removal of the railway line next year has put most on the sidelines

    yup u are right it has come to the sad stage where the buyers know more about hte unit than the agents

    not uncommon to see 10 agents for 1 unit, really pity the agent

    sometimes i wonder why the agent will want to do such a deal (asking price 200psf above last transaction), they should save their advert cost

    Knowledge is power! streetsine will even give u the unit number but you also need to find out how much the owner paid for the property so u have an indication of how much flexibility u have in negotiations

    Don't let agents off the hook...they need to work for their commissions. If you unearth a great agent, keep him or her. I have an agent that has done my property transactions for me over the last few years...regardless of type of property because he is quick, efficient and trustworthy...

    yup - there was one owner asking 1.98M that has been on the market for some time now for a 1517 sq ft unit. Quite nice layout because there is a junior master bedroom with ensuite. I made a $1.8M offer and then a $1.85M - over 1200 psf and then an offer of 1100+psf was accepted at another unit....saved a lot of $$$

    In Nov, there was a caveat lodged for $1,202 psf for a 1518sqft unit. Price reasonable?

    reasonable considering the high floor...a lot of residents are building in the MRT factor into their prices...even though the MRT station will only appear in 4 years time. But considering that Sterling is a FH with a MRT station at its doorstep (next to the tennis courts) and within walking distance to MGS, 1200 psf is a fair price.

    If one is looking for rental yield, this is not the condo to look for at the moment, especially with all the construction nearby. If you are looking for cap appreciation in the medium term and en bloc potential in the long term, this would be a great place to park your $. Out of all the condos, it does not appear to be as crowded as blossomvale, maplewoods, king albert park, cascadia, garden vista or nexus. And being an older condo, it has enough car park space for two cars per unit and loads of potential area to build up, although the shape of the overall condo land is a bit odd (triangular).

    But of course, I am a bit biased...

    do agree with you. I think you did not factor in the KTM land. anyone do hear about the intention for KTM's plot of land?

    wow still less than 1200psf...wonder why?

    This is supposed to be CCR - issit because of the construction noise or being at crossroads?

    Sterling actually becomes more attractive because of the decision on the KTM land. If you are planning for long term capital gain, sterling has tremendous potential besides MRT and MGS. Because the trains will no longer run along Sterling from next year, it becomes more attractive to stay. But if you factor in the current plot size of sterling coupled with the potential to annex future state land (ex KTM land) next to it plus its FH status immediately next to a MRT, the potential for capital appreciation is tremendous.

    When I did the research on Sterling, Nexus, Blossomvale, Maplewoods, Garden Vista, Jardin, Mayfair Gardens, Cascadia, Floridian etc...sterling is indeed a 'sterling' purchase. FH condos next to MRTs are already a rarity...just look at the prices of 99LH condos next to MRTs....but as i said I am biased as I am going to stay here.

    Sterling and the condos around the area are a good buy
    buy the chepeast unit and hang on for the ride

    i eventually went for nexus as u pay slightly higher for a difference in QOL
    quality of living

    my top choices (purely personal) are

    1. nexus (modern, 4 years old very live-vable only slightly more ex or same as sterling

    2. sterling (potential for enblock with new land available

    3. maplewoods (Old and slightly run down but very popular...)

    4. cascadia (new and reasonably priced

    5. blossomvale (dont like it.. across the road, not bt address, prices already rising too close to its better neighbours, potential noise/contruction around the area if mayfair goes)

    6. floridina/jardin (too high price.. benefits others but not itself)

    Actually people starting to distinguish between D9 and D10 (real CCR) and D10 (fake CCR) and D11 (real CCR) and D11 (fake CCR).
