    Got SMS from agent yesterday. One Rio Vistar owner asking 3+1 rm 700k. This is 2H2007 price. Are you interested ? I am not an agent, but try to share with you the info.

    I think I've viewed this unit too. Is nicely kept with view @ the flyer. If it's a 4 bedroom, I could hv taken.

    I'd viewed another unit but seems like the seller is not serious is selling. keep pushing up the price after I offered... maybe trying to test the market.

    Interested in this development too, especially the river facing units, don't mind low floor. Like the breezy, resort-like feel of the place.

    Looking at 2+1 or 3 br units, low to mid 500+psf

    If anyone is selling or got lobangs, please pm me

    If you can, just stay put and don't do any thing. The seller now commonly asking crazy price now. Be patient, price will be lower down when they can't find any viewer or buyer in 2-3 months time as economy still in its bad condition.

    About the Rio Vista case
    The Staits Times
    Thursday, 12 November 2009



    When a couple who had been renting a unit in Rio Vista condominium in Upper Serangoon learnt that a fourth-floor unit was being sold in 2007, they offered to pay $506,000 for it.

    Mr Chiranjeev Singh and his wife then gave property agent Helene Ong a cheque for 1% of the purchase price, which she banked into seller Joseph Mathew's bank account here, as instructed.

    Mr Mathew was then working in India.

    Four key e-mail exchanges ensued - three from Ms Ong to Mr Mathew, and one from him indicating acceptance of the deal.

    But about a week later, he e-mailed Ms Ong, rejecting the offer and declining to sign the option-to-purchase form she had sent him.

    Mr Mathew returned here on May 26, 2007, and went into talks with Mr Singh about the deal.

    The talks failed and lawyer Boo Moh Cheh took the case to court for Mr Singh.

    High Court Judge Andrew Ang ordered Mr Mathew to sign the option-to-purchase form, failing which the Supreme Court Registrar would exercise its power to sign it on his behalf.

    Mr Mathew appealed to the Court of Appeal, which dismissed his suit and ordered him to pay costs.

    His unit, which eventually went at the $506,000 price first agreed upon, was understood to be worth $670,000 some 15 months later.
