    Yes went down in the early afternoon. Unlike WFW, the show unit did not display the ID company.

    Hi Mr Kiat, i think its common sense for every developers (FEO, FCL, CDL, WT, etc) to highlight the BEST of their projects and not just FEO style only. For example, project with MRT next to it, they will definitely market this as their selling point instead of telling buyers abt the noise coming from the MRT track every few minutes!


    Only a small group of people will go around posting negative comments on other projects other than their own purchased.

    If Waterfront really released the final piece of land, i can see you Mr Kiat posting here..."2brs all facing HDBs (NO PRIVACY - overlooking hdb dwellers), west facing Damai Secondary School (TOO NOISY - noise from students, school buses and school bells that ring every 30mins), 4brs north facing lake (FULL BLAST of TRAFFIC NOISE from the bedok reservoir road) and not forgetting the SKYHIGH PRICE! "

Compact 3brs is either 969sqft or 1033sqft

    Went down this afternoon.
    Agent told me IAS is 6% off list price + 2% early bird.
    Compared to 10% for Progressive payment + 2% early bird.
    did they increase the price for the IAS scheme?

    Price for last unit of 2BR (1st flr) is 700psf.
    For 3BR compact (1st flr) its 685psf (but sold before I left showflat)
    High floor 3BR compact cost 770psf.

    Heard the 2% early bird will be removed by today.

    Price is higher (by psf) compared to WFW.
    But quantum looks smaller cos the units are all smaller.
    WFW units are all > 1200sf, so the quantum easily > $800K

    Last 2BR is Tower E, 01-18.

    They are going to release Tower B & G this Fri.

    50-60 units sold at Volari, 120 at Waterfront Key

    PROPERTY sales over the past few days continued to post encouraging numbers.

    Returning confidence: Far East Organization and Frasers Centrepoint have sold 120 units of Waterfront Key at an average price of $735 psf. Nearly all the buyers opted for normal progressive payments
    City Developments is understood to have sold between 50 and 60 units of its 85-unit Volari@Balmoral condo at Balmoral Road. The 12-storey freehold project, priced at about $2,000 psf on average, will be built on the current Garden Hotel site. Residents will enjoy views of the lush greenery of the Goodwood Hill area. It was released for sale late last week.

    Over at Bedok Reservoir, Far East Organization and Frasers Centrepoint have sold 120 units of Waterfront Key at an average price of $735 psf.

    This pricing is about 5-8 per cent higher than the $680-700 psf average price at which the two developers are selling units at the adjacent Waterfront Waves, which was 78 per cent sold as of last Thursday. Both projects are 99-year leasehold.

    As for their latest condo, the 437-unit Waterfront Key, 176 units have been released since Friday. Far East said that in terms of absolute quantum, prices range from $593,000 for a two-bedroom unit of 840 sq ft to $1.42 million for a 1,518 sq apartment with four bedrooms. The sole penthouse in the initial batch of 176 units is a 2,992 sq ft unit priced at $3.14 million.

    Buyers of nearly all the 120 units sold did not opt for an interest absorption scheme (IAS), which comes at a 4 per cent price premium. The units released so far comprise a good mix of reservoir-facing, park-fronting and pool-view apartments. The 15-storey condo has a total of eight blocks.

    Volari's prices range from $1,800 psf to $2,300 psf. BT understands that an IAS is included in the price. However, the majority of buyers are understood to have opted for normal progressive payments, which means that they save 2 per cent on the pricing.

    Developers have sold over 7,300 private homes in Singapore in the first six months of this year, surpassing the measly 4,264 units sold for the whole of last year. This has started to give developers some pricing power.

    A seasoned property developer said that typically, price stability sets in when developers sell about 5,500 to 6,000 units over a 12-month period.

    Increasingly, property analysts are predicting an increase in private home prices for the whole of this year and see the trend gaining momentum in 2010. Analysts' estimates of full-year sales for this year range from around 9,000 to 14,000 units.

    The strong home buying in recent months runs counter to the backdrop of wage cuts and job losses amid the recession.

    Analysts credit the revival in home buying to developers' strategy of chopping prices earlier this year, pent-up demand, the stock-market rally, a low interest rate environment, lack of trust among investors in financial instruments after Lehman's collapse and the appeal of property as an anti-inflationary hedge.

    Wah the key so popular as reported ah ... The Gale looks ok in terms of layout ... furthermore it's FH, so may be deemed more popular in term os O@Elias since both location about so-so. This key could be even more popular if considered as waterside living lor.

    The Gale plus point is only the FH, other than that the location is really ulu and no amenities watsoever within walking distance...when we visited the traffic was so bad coming out we were stuck for like 5 mins at the small road....Oasis location is also too far east, unless working in Changi area its really too far from town.....

    I guess for waterfront the plus point is its closer to amenities and city as compared to the above...also the park and reservoir is just nearby good for family with kids...and don't forget the high possibility that the MRT is going to be really nearby...I maybe bias since i am a WFW owner but tats my own view....

    When MRT station is confirmed and in operation, indeed is quite an ideal location for living as long as you don't buy the PIE facing units (you want peace, end up you close your windows all the time to avoid noise from PIE traffic @ 750psf??). What I really don't like is the tactic of the developers/agents. They build the showflat very far from PIE and keep mentioning about facing park. In other projects like Metropolitan, The Arte, DBR, Casa Merah, the MRT noise is immediately obvious to the visitors. In Waterfront showflat, they really hide this fact very well. In WFW, they also sell partial lakeview units and never mention it will be blocked by WFK and upcoming projects. And about MRT, one agent will say it is going to be at Aquarius By the Park. Another will say LTA has confirmed the MRT line runs thru Bedok Reservoir Road (?!).

    Btw, it's true that the development is facing the town park. This is a true fact.

    Not sure whether you have visited the former WFW showflat. It was actually located at the current Waves site. They relocated the showflat further down to make way for waves construction and also for Key in the near future. Does not make sense to have the showflat at the WFK site and later has to relocate again to make way for Key to start work.

    Not sure which agent had served you. Maybe he/she did not do his/her homework. The agent that served me did highlight about the partial lake view of certain units may be blocked by future developments. But there may be chances the architecture may try to minimize the blockage of the view.

    oh ok O@E is more comparable to Livia then ...

    Yup, agree the location for The Gale is ulu ... not much betta than O@E. The latter is probably still need to some amenities but not The Gale (so dun understand their TV advert can actually start with A = Amenities ).

    Well, maybe some pp like G for the place juz like those pp who bought F ... that whole place is a Hillview-in-the-making. Not so many projects yet ... still can count from A to G lah

    Many projects showflats are not on actual site i don't think developer is doing so just to hide the fact on the PIE noise.....As buyers before we commit the $600k-$800k should also do our own homework.....Agents are basically salesmen who of course only highlight the good points and play down the bad ones ...this should be common to all project and not just WF......the agent who serve me was very professional and she never highlight on MRT location becos she said at this point there is no confirmation of the site....she told us if the annoucement is made and really so nearby the price will never be at this range.......when we buy we never really take the MRT into consideration...will be a big bonus to us if its tat nearby...
