Am sure market will head South. Will build in "future value" into the buy price. Just not too sure how much to discount.
Am looking at $1000psf for Sea View. Owners will bite?

Just be'cos the grape is of high quality and not within your "reach" ( in terms of money) u say its sour ...... so what if there is no view but there are other plus points - itsOriginally Posted by Seaview 750psf
FREEHOLD,
LAND SIZE IS HUGE,
GOOD QUALITY BUILD -
these points are enough to elevate the project.
Totally agree, every condo have it's pros n cons, people buy for their reason cause they like the place and CAN AFFORD. But to be frank there's a lot of people who can afford but want to wait for price. Yes, market is bad, price will drop but to how low? Who knows? Wait till the unit you wan been taken up then you will blamed someone else but not yourself. Then you will said that you will go for something else and the whole waiting cycle will start.Originally Posted by registered

No new caveats lodged between 21 Aug to most current date of 15 Sept 2008. Looks like the stand off between buyers and sellers is not coming to a conclusion.

I wonder if the marginal owners are still holding out for $1,400psf?
East Coast have its Value
it might be too costly for locals to stay
For overseas rich investors , It is a good location
worth paying for that Price
therefore it is common to see why local buyers make
noise over the high price in District 15.
Want Cheap want Good
R u sure local no $$$, overseas buyers all run back liao.......Originally Posted by buy
all brought lehman, AIG etc..... Local buyers only want to buy CHIP,CHIP.
For every reason one wants to buy.. There's always another reason for the sellers to sell ... But reckon tis is it.. If the crisis in the US cannot be resolved fast.. guess the standoff in buyers vs sellers will swing very fast to the sellers.. For those that wanna buy.. Have to be long term rather than thinking of a quick flip..
Flippers are all sunny side up now... So do exercise caution. Gd luck !

It's interesting you get to see the characteristics of people staying in different locations. Even in prime districts, you dont see people telling the whole world "I am very high class." but such words always almost seem to come from people staying in East Coast. Even in D15, the resale condos are only fetching average prices. Look at Telok Kurau or Joo Chiat even, some condos are asking for less than 500+psf. It's a pretentious bunch who cares more about appearance and district numbers more than anything else. The seawater is very clean? Gimme a break! The artificial reclaimed land sand is white and pristine? Haha...
If you are truly "high class", you don't tell the whole world. It doesn't reflect very well on you. The fact that you have to keep emphasising this just shows your poor upbringing.

Will rent instead which is better.
No puns intended but I think u must be living in the West. Haha! Face the truth, east side is more liveable and vibrant.Originally Posted by Unregistered22122
U will forever be watching the market. And forever getting jealus of those who bought and sold for profits. Genuine buyers dun talk, they just buy.Originally Posted by Mkt Watcher
Any idea how much the asking rent will be for The Esta? They cant possibly ask as high as Seaview, right?Originally Posted by Standoff
FYI ...My Agent told me High floor Sea View 4 bed room 1647 Sqft rented out for $ 10K per month. $ 6 psf !!Originally Posted by Renter_Maybe
The richest people in Singapore is Bukit Timah and based on the latest survey, it wins by a WIDE margin in terms of income - read today's papers. Bukit Timah clearly runs up the northwest of Singapore. There is no need to argue how high class you are. East side is kind of artificial and fake - the marine cove area is an ugly theme park-like, and it's somehow disturbing that the people there are so much into telling the whole world that "I'm high class" - frankly u don't get to read that a lot in other forums other than another wannabe area Balestier. The most vibrant chillout areas are in Dempsey, Greenwood, Rochester, Holt Park, Portsdown etc - they are in the west. I don't stay in the west but I think it terms of vibrance, the horrifying marine cove theme park-like restaurants running in the east are not cool compared to Dempsey, Portsdown, etc. in the west. These places are surrounded by NATURAL lush greenery and not artificial sand which makes the eastern area the hottest part of Singapore. What pun? There is no pun in your message. Do you know the meaning of pun?

The papers did say Bedok is the most crowded zone and that Bukit Timah the "richest" if dwelling type is used as a proxy for wealth.
Notable mentions of affluence went to Marine Parade, Serangoon and Tanglin. Marine Parade, I believe is in the EAST.
So really, it depends on how one wants to present their arguments. If they want to insist that the EAST is poor and low class and what not, then they quote Bedok for its high density and HDB flats. If they want to claim that the EAST is high class, they can use the number of landed properties and luxury condos in Siglap/Katong/Meyer Road etc as an example of wealth. Basically, you believe what you want to believe. The glass is either half full or half empty.
Vibrance, "coolness" etc. is subjective. Natural lush greenery may be interpreted as "ulu", undeveloped etc.
Affluence and success need not be shoved down anybody's throats. It's those that don't quite have it that keep reiterating they are better than others.
$680psf I buy!
wait for entire global financial system to collapse including Asia..,,,,,,,Originally Posted by Smart Investor
by then u wont have even 680,,,,
Even NEW 5 Rm HDB also cost $ 645K with Salary max $ 8k ..what you thing ???Originally Posted by Smart Investor
they do not have alternate choice to lower, but with this pricing, people earning <$8000 will find it difficult to service the mthly instalment. So buy or not buy?
I can afford a bt. timah terrace only ... GCB is way out of my reach..
But .. because I liked views and near seaside..
my preference would be pasir ris or east coast penthouses..
I'm currently just waiting for teh price to correct before I buy ..
Quite a few cluster terraces in pasir ris sounds very tempting.. but it's TOP 2011 onwards.... and I feel safer looking at the actual thing than buying based on pictures..

I understand from unverified sources that the 8K combined household limits are often breached but waived by HDB.
It is my understanding that, whilst there appears to be a 8K combined income limit requirement for those whom might be interested in purchasing HDB flat, and also to qualify for such relevant grants, HDB loans as appropriate, this regulation is often managed by applicants via the appeals route.
I believe there are applicants whom have, in so far in respect of the 8K income limit is concerned, have managed to successfully appealed to HDB for a grant of waiver, despite their income might have already exceeded the same.
There are also couple whom have take the route to having one of the spouses to quite their job temporarily, to the extent such relevant permit and approval from HDB is obtained to procured such specific property of interest, before they start looking for a new job. I believe HDB does not conduct ongoing verification of the household income and in this respect, couples have been able to exploit the same in a bid to get around the income limit and thus benefit from the various schemes available (i.e. grants, fix interest rate loan 2.6%...etc).
I wonder if anyone have any views or such other relevant inputs that may be appropriate to advise the community here.
