I always want to own the following properties in D15: OA,ESTA, TSV, Aalto.
Now no more sleepless nights for me. Well, why decide? Maybe after what gfoo said. Maybe after my agent said. But IHMO, I would say I don't want to catch the bottom. I like that unit, can afford so buy. Also I'm not buying at the peak why worry so much. Btw it's not for own stay, more for investment, long team.

Whether for homestay or investment, buying at this period can never be wrong. Only question is how much will it fall of course not in an attempt to catch the bottom.
Well its more logical if buying for homestay since price sensitivity is not as high investment. For investment (putting capital appreciation aside when selling in future) what matters most is the rental yield as investors would be concern of the weak rental demand which puts pple from buying at this point of time.. considering that there quite a few midfloors at 8xx around for sale unless your agent has gd pyscho power hehe

Read from article, if a unit has irregular shape, is no good for feng shui. And the units in One Amber are all odd shapes, so is it true? Any view?

[latour]

A property agent told me that those units selling at $7xx are mostly low floors and west facing. Good units are still sold at $8xx.

West facing with afternoon sun... how bad is that?

or the unit's Main Doors is facing West?

When I was a teenager, I stay with my mum & the house is west facing. My bedroom is the worst hit. Even at 9pm, when I touch the bedroom wall, it's still warm. Turning on the fan doesn't help much. That's how bad it can be. We don't have aircon at that time, too poor to have one.

In condo, all bedrooms has an aircon. If you turn on the aircon, it will consume more power to cool down a warm bedroom versus cooling a non west facing room.

As for Feng Shui, I'm not an expert but this is what I understood. According to Feng Shui, there are 8 types of auspicious houses that will bring financial status, family harmony, good people relationship & good marriage life.

Type 1, 3, 4,9 belongs to the eastern group.
Type 2, 6, 7, 8 belongs to the western group.
There is no type 5.

If the main door is facing west, this is type 3 & belong to eastern group. If you want to be lucky living in this eastern group house, you must belong to eastern group people. The next ques will be how do you know if you belong to eastern or western group people. This can be determined using your birth date.

not really. the 03-15 is east facing. much better than the west facing unit. maybe has Esta pool view since so close to Esta?
i guess the only drawback is the road noise - I saw one unit in Esta, north facing, the BUS come and go, very very BTH, really can't imagine hwo to sleep on the road

Read from article, if a unit has irregular shape, is no good for feng shui. And the units in One Amber are all odd shapes, so is it true? Any view?

Agreed, good fei shui must have regular shape, as the irregular shape representing missing some element... maybe need fei shui master to do something to over come the missing part.

No much view in One Amber, just a big scale FH in D15, good enough to attract buyers... so far only SV, Esta & OA are big scale projects in D15, the rest are all micky mouse projects...

One thing I don't like is the Giant big bay window in master toilet! what can we do for that? pay so much $$$ for an useless bay window in toilet! the developer is just like a robber!

ya lor
developers made alot of $$ all these yrs cheating us with the bay windows ...

i just came back from manhattan, house viewing .. over in NY ..built up space really mean Built up space.. bay window, dont count, even balcony space and terrace space are not counted. .

i saw an apt .. 1200 sqft (2 bedroom) nice size .. yet it comes with a balcony about 500 sqft outside living room and master bedroom ..

another unit 1200 sqft , 2 bedroom ..it has a terrace of 1200 sqft ...

and when you rent it ..you pay only the interior space .. no cheating one ...

haha, in Singapore ppl will declare FIRE sales for 1700 sfqt, or 2400 sqft unit! HERE every single useless area will count, regardless the big big bay window in toilet or living room, regardless big big balcony or planter everywhere, they even count the Aircode ledge!

So far NO singaporean fight for that mah???

Regular shaped houses are definitely superior to irregular shaped houses.
The most favored shape of a house in Feng Shui is that of a rectangle, wherein the chi can flow smoothly throughout the house.

If you believe in it, it is true. Othewise, it's rubbish.

Ya. I agree. Its whether u believe in it or not. I personally like OA layout becos of the unique shape. Feng Shui to me is not important at all.

For a 3-bedder unit, the launch price back then is ard $7xx psf.

No problem at all. Just went to view RG last weekend, friend of mine collected key. So nice feeling there. Now my mind start to wonder too whether to exercise the option of not. Haha

[Property_Owner]

thanks b&j but would that be high $7xx or low $7xx? a rough estimate will do.

Best is to call the agents marketing OA, guess not hard to find. Everyday papers are swamp with advertisements. Expert or specialists even OA queen also have. Good luck in your search.

[b&j]

thanks b&j but would that be high $7xx or low $7xx? a rough estimate will do.

well..tat will depends on the unit...high floor units are gg at high $7xx, lower floors gg at low $7xx...

[aiya]

well..tat will depends on the unit...high floor units are gg at high $7xx, lower floors gg at low $7xx...

thanks for the answer... b&j and property_owner

just another quick question. i've read debates/discussions on seaview, esta and now one amber but all along, no one commented on Vertis!? is there a reason for this?

I guess the reason is becos Vertis is a small property. Not a lot of people are discussing about it. In fact I tink it is more like an apartment than a condo. I went down during the launch of Vertis, looks alright, just that I prefer bigger properties.

Agree, Vertis only Apartment status. Can't use the word condo for this. Please note, don't let agents misled you. Be safe.
