bro sent u a pm alreadyOriginally Posted by spikey69
lets share info (save time and effort)
not many ppl r selling at sterling
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...Originally Posted by devilplate
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 agentsOriginally Posted by spikey69
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
Great web site this streetsine.com, was able to find out much more than the ura page I was browsing to see how far my booked price was for a property I have just purchased few months back...Tks!
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 negotiationsOriginally Posted by satomilton
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...
3+1 ground floor with patio 1,750 sf for rental at $6,000 monthly. If keen, pls email [email protected].
Thank you.
Looking for an approximatley 1,500 sqft unit, non road facing.
Please pm me if you do have a unit for sale.
vince,

In Nov, there was a caveat lodged for $1,202 psf for a 1518sqft unit. Price reasonable?Originally Posted by vince.toh70

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...

wow still less than 1200psf...wonder why?
This is supposed to be CCR - issit because of the construction noise or being at crossroads?
Well, it is because it is a hidden gemOriginally Posted by mantrix
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.
This one in D21! OCR not Ccr

but i think people are have realised its D9/10, D11 AND D21
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).

yea i think nowadays this region is 1200psf for all freehold projects new and oldOriginally Posted by spikey69
even blossomvale
of the opinion that the fair value now should be $1,300psf
