Brutal but true. How many millionaires still out there, SG is a small market. Unlike East and Prime, I don't think West is so attractive to O/S investors.Originally Posted by Reporter
Hopefully we can have more millionaires this year to replace the foreign millionaires that have been buying our properties?Originally Posted by xebay11

Afterall new launch, pay small small, if need to worry then worry 2-3yrs later when TOP
Not everyone can pay the 20% and the loans have to be approved by the bank based on your income, means not everyone can loan the 80% which effectively eliminates many people from the pool of buyers.Originally Posted by dtrax
one thing I'm not sure why ppl paid around 1 mil+ for a 2+1 unit facing the AYE?Originally Posted by xebay11

Hundred Trees almost sold out

Sunday, 4 October 2009, 22:55
We paid a quick visit to the Hundred Trees showroom today and guess what? Along with all the 1BRs and 2BRs sold out last week, the 2+1BRs, 3BRs and PH are gone too!
All that's left are a couple of 3+1BRs and 4BRs. CDL must be really happy, Hundred Trees is on it's way to being sold out. All that in 9 days since it's preview launch last Friday 25 September!
Prices at the time of visit hovered in the $920 to $1,000 psf range.
The 956-year leasehold project in West Coast has done remarkably well, even with the recent government measures to cool the market. So much for dampening the market frenzy!
What's more it has done so without any MRT nearby or any so-called unique selling point like a reservoir view or sea view. Could it be the power of the CDL brand? Or is there something else?
I think all targetting for the 10 years jurong plan coming up !
The Hello Kitty effect lah!
Yeah afterall I feel that The Parc is a better located development and is struggling to hit $1K psf.Originally Posted by moneyspinner
Why do you think The Parc is a better located development? Better amenities? Food, shopping etc. near by?
I prefer The Parc Condo too! They are closer to the Clementi MRT station. Besides, it is a freehold and still selling below $900psf.Originally Posted by xebay11
Yep, those 100 Trees buyers can't see the trees from the woods.Originally Posted by dormer
you probably have never been to the site of The Parc. If you have ,you would have noticed that it is just next to a few blocks of HDB flats . So some stacks would have the bedrooms facing the HDB blocks.Originally Posted by dormer
100 TREES location is more exclusive . There's no unit facing any HDB flats.It is located in a landed property area & is next to a park. So you need to actually go down to the site to see for yourself. Being slightly nearer to the MRT is not the only criterion buyers look at . Its got to be the whole package.
buy DBR at simei. Inside got 200 trees.....
True indeed The Parc is near HDB, but that cld also be seen as an advantage when one looks at amenities. Since a comparison is already being made here, let's not forget tt those who bought The Parc may not be exactly making a profit (a few sub-sales seeing losses) .... it was launched during the boom time. But this one? If this craze in the mkt signifies another 'boom' then perhaps good to be careful liao ...Originally Posted by jsh
u know if pty market allows "shorting", I'm pretty sure he will not short either. These are the usual tcss type that just love to talk, and will never put money where his mouth is.Originally Posted by Reporter
exactly ! even though I'm not really a fan of 100 Trees, I wouldn't say Parc has a better location. In 100 Trees, the non AYE facing units have a very good view over the park and all the landed houses. Since it's elevated (btw those just tcss type probably didn't know it's elevated), even the 1st floor view could already look over the houses, and any mid level above can clearly see past west coast highway and all the way to the cranes. Some ppl may prefer this, as the old saying goes "never touch a pty with a 10 ft pole if u can see HDB from the window". It does have a selling point for some people. (well, why do we even argue here ? It's almost sold out already)you probably have never been to the site of The Parc.
For me , I just find it a bit disappointing that : 1) rubbish chute is outside; 2) bedroom floors are "laminated flooring" not the usual timber strips. 3) living rm flooring is not marble. Clearly very mass market.
i have seen a few projects where the rubbish chute is outside the unit ..Originally Posted by amk
theres one project where they dont even have rubbish chute..owners just leave their garbage outside their main door and cleaners will clear them first thing in the morning
some said its good cos its cleaner ...
i beg to differ ...
we buy property based on location ... similarly having the ruibbish chute outside is quite similar to buying a location far from amenities ..
Huh? you mean you would buy a property in Woodlands far from MRT with rubbish chute inside rather than a property in Orchard Road near MRT with rubbish chute outside???????? I think location as a deciding factor, far, far far, outweighs whether chute inside or outside.Originally Posted by proud owner
i am saying ..we buy location ...and amenities ..Originally Posted by xebay11
within the same area ... i would go for the one with the chute inside
Still don't quite agree, I go for location, layout, quality of fittings, facilities, tenure, I think rubbish chute location is among one of the lowest priorities.Originally Posted by proud owner
since the topic was on the chuteOriginally Posted by xebay11
i merely stated that i would prefer one inside .. as it is 'amenities' to me ..
i also said 'in the same area' .. i would choose one with chute
IF in the same project ..some units have chute inside and some outside ..would you choose one with no chute ? tahts all i am saying
all else the same ..except the chute
that's to you, but not to me and proud_owner. For me I can even go as far as saying this is the single factor that can veto a project no matter how nice it is, just like multi story car parks. (btw the inverse is not automatically implied, that's what proud_owner was trying to say) so we agree to disagree ok ? just like movies, diff ppl have diff preferences and tastes. That's why we have diff projects for diff people isn't it ?Originally Posted by xebay11
btw is there a prime area project that has the chute outside ?
Chutes outside is a HDB thing rite?
Never heard of before.

Don't play play with the property market ...
Shorting the property market is like betting against inflation ... betting that a plate of Hainanese chicken rice will cost 20 cents in the year 2109.
Anyone who "shorts" the property market, even if they make some quick bucks here and there, will be killed absolutely, totally and completely, sooner or later.
Me too!Originally Posted by amk
Having a rubbish chute outside is a humiliation that I will not stomach.
It's like if the developer tells you that he will give you a 50% discount off the market rate if you crawl under his legs.
He may as well tell you that the toilet is also outside.
Sorry. I have my pride.
Err ... you mentioned inflation ... do you teach at NTU?Originally Posted by jlrx
