    Sales of private homes stay strong

    Tuesday, 22 September 2009

    Despite the Government’s announcement last week of the measures to take the bubbles from the property market, the demand of consumers for private homes still remained strong.

    Property developers Hotel Properties and CapitaLand stated on Monday that 65% or 233 out of the 360 units at the former site of Gillman Heights in Alexandra Road, which were launched during The Interlace project, were sold over the previous week.

    The sold units, which range from two-roomer units to penthouses, had a selling price that ranges from $850 psf up to $1,150 psf.

    Another developer, Guocoland, which had held a preview launch all throughout the weekend of its freehold Elliot – comprising 119 units – at the East Coast project, sold 75% or 45 of 60 units that were launched at a price of $970 psf.

    In the market’s upper-mid segment, buyers snapped-up additional 5% or 14 units of 289-unit Trizon of Singapore Land at Mount Sinai during the weekend. The said project, which is located at the former site of Himiko Court, is now 70% sold, with a selling price of $1,300 up to $1,500 psf.

    The long sales over weekend seem to point out that buying interest of consumers is not dampened by the move of the Government to cool down the market, such as scrapping off of the interest absorption scheme (IAS) as well as restarting of the confirmed list of land sales during the first six months of the following year.

    According to a spokesman of Guocoland, less than 10% of its buyers or 4 out of 45 had taken up the said scheme. Elliot, the East Coast project, was given the IAS-approval before the said scheme was banned by the Government.

    “Feedback from buyers indicates that they are not overly concerned with the Government's cooling-down measures, and are confident of the long-term capital appreciation potential for well-designed properties in ideal locations”, the spokesman said.
    No wonder even trees have got potential buyers queuing up now.

    Seems like no need to build showflat liao. Anyhow put up a model of the development by roadside can sell already.

    Ever wondered why is there is need for an agent if people are queueing to provide blank cheques

    seems like this kind of queuing only happens to CDL/Hong Leong developments like Optima on the other side of the island and Hundred Trees here. Maybe they self directed, put up a show for everyone to see only? This kind of tactics by a major developer to create a hoo-ha. Shame on them!

    don't worry, this kind of tactics will stimulate demand even if there wasn't so much demand before. it worked for optima, headline creating. sure sell out!

    Heh heh ... never heard of successful subsale of Optima yet. Optima owners heart sinking already when Trevista low floors only at 850psf. Singaporeans easily fallen into this kind of "long q must be good" marketing trap - Mc Donald Hello Kitty syncdrome.

    Are you in denial? 56 subsales in Aug 2009. One month already 20% of 297 units subsale. Somemore Aug haven't end yet. Maybe can hit 70-80. There are serious demands for housing. Go URA to see for yourself instead of cheap talks without facts.

    You think those 56 subsales didn't earn a cent? They are laughing all the way to the bank. Anyway, there is no point arguing also. Those who dun buy, then if prices rocket up, don't regret. Blame yourself and not the Government. Those who blame the Government for the high COV are really losers. This is as good as saying "I am not good at earning money but I want to stay in prime area near MRT. I no money to pay COV but I die die must stay there. It's your fault for not keeping the market in check but it is not my fault for not buying 6 months ago". These group of people are the real losers.

    Alot of ppl dun dare to buy and keep saying ppl stupid queue to buy at such high price. But when prices start going higher and higher until beyond their reach. These sourgrapes will start to blame govt, blame everyone else but themselves.

    Got luck one meh? The most is 10-20%. Shouldn't a home buyer study the market condition and future potential when evaluating a purchase? If blindly go into 2007 peak and lose money, then blame himself/herself lor. If 2009 bottom go in, then maybe he/she has done enough market research to say - this is low enough, i will go in. But right now, people know prices are going up and of course, people talk about prices going up. IR is going to be ready soon. MBFC as well. All in Q1. So the market condition points up, bearing any unforeseen circumstances (or luck if you want to call it). The thing is, can the market digest so many good news at one go? LVS IR, Sentosa IR, MBFC etc. Don't forget the indirect effects of IR. Rental will be tighter as well. That is when speculation comes in. That is also when foreign funds come in. This is my analysis. If you think otherwise, then you wait lor. But when prices hit pass 2007 peak, blame yourself.

    One thing to note is also - in 2007, the peak starts from Orchard & Marina and city areas like Tg. Pagar. Prices shoot up like no tomorrow, records after records. Now, Orchard has hit pass 4k psf. Marina bay is nearing 3k psf. If people want to wait, then wait lor. The ripple effects are felt within 2-4 months in 2007. When Orchard hits 5k psf, then maybe people wake up?

    You talk so big, like know where the bottom is and where is the top. I also expect the IR to boost property market, you may click on my previous postings, but I dare not be as cock sure as you. BTW tell me which project to buy in now? let us all know.

    yes price either go up or come down....no where else to go. ppl who paid high price and later lose money when price falls will only kick themselves for bad investment. But there are a lot of ppl who die die must buy condo and blame govt for not keeping price down. The bottom line is doesnt matter high or low...can afford means can afford. if can't afford just stay in hdb lor...hdb nowadays also quite nice what. In fact some condos also look like hdb. Not that i want to call ppl sour grapes...when prices are low they dun buy, when price creeping up they say why ppl like to queue and pay high price.

    Why can afford to stay in prime area still need to use MRT?

    Since when buy properties must pay COV?

    The banks' valuers will value whatever you want it to be worth, if they want your business.

    i think now might not be the right time to go in. the price has beening climbing too fast. maybe is worth while to wait a while to let the market to cool down and do some minor correction. is right to say that the price will not come down but should allow some market correction to cool down the price........cheers

    If the developer price it below what sub-sales for The Parc Condo (probably about $850psf) is asking, then it is really worth buying.
    If not, shoud just go for Carabelle which is priced lower.
    Dont understand why people so willing to part with their cheque without even know the psf of 100 Trees

    now property so hot why would developer price below other completed projects. the blank check submission is no obligations.. u dun like the price u dun buy.. it is for securing a queue number and priority booking if one is keen to make the purchase
