I have asked the agent the same question but she did not calculate. She only showed me her file with stickers on many units that represent sold. I guess VIVA is 70% to 80% sold. Can anybody verify?Originally Posted by moneyspinner

Yea, I agree, the layout has less balcony and planter space than the other new units. But I haven't gone to the showroom. Time to make that trip soon.Originally Posted by moneyspinner
i just signed up for a unit at Viva, however I am quite scared, first time buying such expensive staff, hope at least this price will stable for the next few years.
psf? which bank is the developer tying up with?Originally Posted by chenjdd
According to Allgreen's results announcement today, since Aug 3 relaunch till yesterday total sold 162 units out of 235 with 73 units left.
73 units left today? we were told most of the insider/quieter stacks such as 9-10-11 are already gone, and we missed a lot of choices since we hesitated a few days...can we trust the agent does give us all available to chose?Originally Posted by bargain hunter
Which stack is yours and which floor and how much $psf?

were you looking for a 3 or 4 bedder? could it be that there are more choices for 4 bedders left than 3 bedders? also, there may be some less desirable stacks which you had stated that you are not keen e.g. beside road, so the agent "helped" you limit down to those that are possible choices for you?

for allgreen, at most they would say, leave the top 5 floors for higher prices but it would be quite obvious from their sales chart that those units have not been released.

i would say so. other than price being a bit of a stretch (yet one of the more reasonable ones), everything else seems good.

allgreen's track record is they don't have such bad habits (unlike far east, uol) but they may if the remaining unsold units were un-released high floor units. Agree with your 2 pre-conditions totally. the 1500 to 1600 could be worth 15% more if things go so swee swee. but if things turn ugly again, premium product also cannot hold up in prices. eg Newton One, Residences @evelyn, Park Infinia prices easily adjusted down 20 to 30% from 2007 high to 2009 low.

huh? like that also can...hopefully, those who have young sons did not buy the wrong block!

Does anyone know if any of the units, that is the balcony & windows will be blocked by Park Infinia.
Also will the Kampung Java CTE flyover be near enough to create much traffic noise.
Apart from that the layout seems very good although $1500++psf will be a record for a launch in Novena area.
Does any body know about latest launch price this weekend? Thanks!
As I studied in Google, there isn't real block from PI, but later afternoon sun may be in general "reduced" by PI, in particular stack 11 and 06.Originally Posted by andy
Launched 2 weeks ago. 2X units left of 235units. Prices varies between 14xx to 16xx depending on floor and/or NPS or IAS. This is more or less near or lower than the resale value of PI;-)Originally Posted by chenjdd
Understand more than 90 pct sold as of today. Can anyone confirm this? Also noted some flippers asking for $1,800 psf for a 3 bedder??Originally Posted by andy
i'm really curious to why there's a demand for such high price? does it justify it? maybe, anyway everyone has their own view in terms of valuation.Originally Posted by moneyspinner
i still cannot understand why ppl are being suck into this frenzy market and agents are the one making monies and i hate agents!
we considered its super convenience
MRT for non-driving families
big site with full facilities- good for kids and elders at home to run around, making friends, etc
shopping very convenient
schools in UQ
ACS for boy SCGS for girl
eateries - we eat outside 2-3 times a week
interior quality looks good
however time for us to consider is too short, choice of units already limited, not our more desired unit
if don't drive, not convenient to get to scgs. besides, don't think it's within 1km. if want to be near scgs, should consider getting the trevose or trevose park. can walk to school.Originally Posted by chenjdd
Used to live in one of these in trevose cres. Quiet & serene. Very convenient for car to get to PIE. Also if you take buses, anyone will take u to orchard or newton circus. However pretty much nothing else in the vicinity other than walk to SCGS. Have to drive to United Sq to do all other things.Originally Posted by duckweed
Ultimately it's a trade off.
However steven mrt coming soon.....
I find it a little hard to believe that 90% sold. Allgreen's official statement in their results announcement last Wed said 70% sold so I find it hard to believe they sold another 50 units in the past 4 days, especially when the remaining available units are the larger 3 and 4 bedders.
