Hundred Trees (Former Hong Leong Garden @West Coast Drive)

[xebay11]

More than that, Botonnia can only compare to Infiniti, both near to Food industries and hence the air pollution.

Yeah can see three huge smoke stacks from Botannia, pollution must be very bad at the three developments, Inifiniti and Carabelle....breathing in cancer causing agents 24/7 from AYE and industries.

One hundred meters away, hundred trees enjoys better air quality? You guys flunked physics 101, didn't you? In fact the reverse is true, hundred tree is 5.16 kms from the smoke stacks of jurong island, while carabelle is 5.26 kms away and botannia is 5.17kms away. so, the closest to the source of cancer is, you guessed it, hundred trees. Don't believe me, try google earth.

In fact, hundred trees is much closer to the noise and air pollution of AYE than botannia and carabelle. Hundred trees is just another infiniti.

As for proximity to clementi, haha, surely you jest. How can you walk 20 minutes from hundred trees in this hot sun without getting heat stroke and die?

I would choose botannia over hundred trees every time. I mean it. How can I not mean it?

What are the prices psf for 3+1 units? I am interested in owning one.

Then why the hell do you want to own a unit in 100 Trees? To me, all the developments there are dangerously close to industries and AYE and bad pollution.

At least for 100 Trees when you drive you can enter via HL garden unlike the other 2 you need to go all the way to teban than pandan than go behind the reseviour so inacessible if you drive.

Read my posting again. I got more for you to digest.

why do I want to own one? No, I don't. I just want to find out the pricing, out of curiosity.

are you stupid or what? only 100 meters away, how can hundred trees enjoy any traffic advantage? Whatever the residents of hundred trees can do, residents of carabelle can do. geesh, hard to talk to air heads.

Quite true. Besides that, Botannia is about 500m further away from Clementi MRT station if you really measure. That's about 1/2 KM more and I would say it's not at all a walkable distance for normal people.

Hundred Trees is also nearing to Ayer Raja Food Center

wouldn't that given you funny smells, other than the smells from AYE and the three smoke stacks?

What smell? If you are talking about smell from food center then you are not making any sense.

Stalingrad is hardly objective in his views, he is staying in Carabelle and everywhere else sucks except of cos his very wise and smart investment in Carabelle.

Hey Stalingrad, the prices of the condos in this area effects each other similarly, prices go up in one, the others will follow similarly. You don't have to talk down the condos of your neighbours to make your Carabelle look good.

[pmet]

just below 900 for bigger units. just got back from showflat.
the project pricing was really a shocker for me and the "sell out" was another shocker for me. bought botannia at 760psf and now it looks like a steal.

the smaller 915sq ft going for 900+ psf.

left about 30+ units in total not sold

Agent told me there are some 3+1 left. Time to grab!

If you read the previous posts, some of your "friends" started talking down carabelle and botannia before I jumped in. You should chastise them for spoiling our neighborhood unity, not me. I am all for neighborhood unity.

Yes, we should stick together in times thin or thick.

No need to read again you said

I am interested in owning one.

All can read what you post and yet you twist and turn.

[stalingrad]

No need to read again you said All can read what you post and yet you twist and turn.

I am of course interested in owning one if the price is good. but the price is so high, how can I be interested?

[chestnut]

Candidly, the rental in that area for 1200 sq ft is about 3.5k (rented out mine for amount). Getting about 4% ROI. Not too bad. Putting money in bank only getting less than 1%. For those who are going to tell me that they make money in stocks, I am also vest in stocks.... The property rentals are for savings and a form of retirement fund in the future. I am also looking at capital appreciation. The population in S'pore is growing and all this "new comers" will need a place to stay (rent or buy). So far been lucky except for a purchase in 1996 at all time high. At least now that unit is at same price as I bought it and I am also renting it out and by pure luck, it is about 200m away from the future west coast mrt.

So you are the type of investor who would invest just because the price is right and not consider other financial factors such as potential gain and rental? I see you will go far in property investment.

More like your inability.

Hi Mr. Dumb Ass, out of all the condos in that area Carabelle sucks in design it is a no brainer to buy one. Don't see what is the selling point, market so far, transport not convenient, air pollution, AYE noise and the list goes on.....y

Q3 home prices up 16%
The Straits Times
Thursday, 1 October 2009


Analysts expect sales of private homes to hit all-time highs in the city-state this year as global economic prospects improve. -- Photo: AFP

Singapore private home prices rose by a whopping 15.9% in the third quarter, reversing four straight quarters of decline.

Prices of non-landed private homes in the city fringes rose the most - by 19.1%, according to flash estimates released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority on Thursday.

Rising in tendem were prices of Housing Board resale flats which rose 3.2% in the third quarter.

The new city-fringe projects that sold well in the third quarter and contributed to the steep rise in the price index were Vista Residences, Parc Imperial, Ascentia Sky and Trevista, said CBRE Research.

Suburban home (i.e. OCR) prices went up by 15.4% while prices of city-centre homes rose 16.2%.

These estimates are based on transaction prices given in caveats lodged during the first 10 weeks of the quarter, supplemented by information on the number of new units sold.

This estimate doesn't include the last 2 weeks of September. Hopefully, these 100 trees can help to increase the overall and RCR figures.

Oh, u mean 100 Trees is RCR meh? If B.I.C. all fall within OCR category, don't understand why this is RCR leh ... perhaps Interlace is RCR lah, this one confirmed?

No, you are right. My bad!
I meant OCR. Thanks for pointing out.

You are really absurb. If indeed you can get cancer from staying in this area , a hundred metres or so is not going to make much difference.

You may think that by highlighting differences of distance between the 4 developments there ,you can increase the value of your property at Carabelle , you are sadly mistaken. What you are doing is damaging to all properties there including yours. You should spend some time to examine your motives & also your mental faculties.

[Reporter]

Thanks Simi,

Yes. just sold mine at $910 psf. just signed option letter today.

Hi Fed

after receiving your good news this morning
i have called my agent to put my unit back onto the market.

$910 psf sub-sale? Wow! Cool!

That's very fast, I must say!

You'd be getting 4% ROI if you paid in full. If you purchased the unit with a bank loan, then you'd be paying interest on your monthly installment, and with that interest you are paying each month against your rental income, your ROI would definitely be lower then 4%, unless your 4% ROI is already excluding the interest you are paying on your bank loan.

Are you a retard? I was responding to that retard Xebay, who said that you could see the three smoke stacks at jurong island from botannia. if anything, this moron xebay is the one that we should hang for talking down values of this area's condos.

Yeah but as an owner actually living in the area and quoting the pin point distances, you were just adding fuel to the fire by confirming my casual observations and that was even more damaging to talking down the values of the whole area. Just do everyone a favour, I suggest you stop rebutting me and let your ego deflate, or you may do even more damage.

Can't you even see your own stupidity?

[jlrx]

Actually it's not just the "three smoke stacks". The entire Jurong area has lots of factories that emit all sorts of chemicals.

Sometimes drive past, can smell through the air-con if the vent is not fully closed.

That's why I only own properties North, South, East, Central, but not West, but I guess that's already built into the price.

I login to this forum to read feedbacks, information updates about properties in Singapore. But sometimes, I have to admit that I have the urge to read Stalingrad's postings and those counter-attacks from others as I really have a good laugh. Every thread I go, I seemed to see him stepping on other's toes. I think without him around, it makes this forum abit boring.

[pmet]

so back on topic...

anyone thinks hundred trees will enjoy good resale value in the short term? (note, this has a parallel effect on condos nearby too)
