Actually, I feel tired explaining simple market theory to you. The Sail fluctuate so much because it is in a super prime, investment grade district. As you go further and further, the price doesn't fluctuate that much. MBR also goes up and down fast. So are Icon, Citylights, Clift etc but to a lesser extend. Of course, we won't see Livia up and down so fast because most are family occupied and doesn't attract many investors/flippers etc.
As for the Arab (I am getting tired), it is not going to happen. Your 'what if' is too ridiculous. Might as well you say what if suddenly Government say IR cannot commence then Sail drop to 30psf. So many 'what if', how do we go predicting all of them? I rather we see the fact, see the figures in URA, see the past trend and see some substantial thing, rather than what if here, what if there. The fact is that Sail is selling on average, 2000psf++. Go URA to see the hard figures. So are SR and most orchard properties. That is when Sail is still in a slum whereby Orchard is already fully developed. No doubt, Sail quality is no where near 6 stars but the common area like facilities, lobby, corridor is still acceptable to me. Only the unit interior is bad but spend some $ (maybe the same amount as the stamp duty), it will look great again. The curvy outlook is fantastic and I feel it has to be one of the best in Singapore.
Okok, I know you are really very rich and stay in a lot of good properties but you do sound like some sour grape hinting that sail price should drop back so that you can buy a couple of them and you sound like a kid with never-ending-ridiculous-never-happened-before what if here, what if there. The reality is - open today's straits time classified section and you get what I mean. Call any sail agent and ask them the psf for stack 1-6. Then you call SR agent and ask for the psf for the best stack, best floor.
