we should all boycott feo for their ridiculous pricing.
end of the day there will still be people buying. Just look at E shore.

normally how you determine whether a project is worth buying? what are the few factors that you will consider good buy?Originally Posted by Property_Owner
1) location?
2) price?
3) freehold leasehold?
why did you find e shore not worth buying? over price?
future enbloc potential, surrounding price movement, whether project mainly bought by hdb upgraders/investors/speculators, tenure, rental yield for the location etc, just to name you a few factors to look out for.

But really, much as we like to dismiss the mighty FEO, gotta give them credit for tonnes of such creative ideas (or not that creative since the US Embassy was the first in SGP to start repacking FH land and selling it as 103years' tenure), as well as being able to withstand all the financial turmoil without doing any rights issue or going on any massive fund raising/capital injection exercise, and holding onto vacant units without reducing the price. At least they managed to convince tonnes of suckers to buy from them, from CCR all the way to Woodlands/Lakeside/Bt Batok areas. That alone is no mean feat.

Has served me well so far... my first was 5-6 yr old conservation MM unit in Mountbatten... then 2 x Little India studio... all served me well earning over 200-250 psf in 1 year or less each...
Those are stuff traditional investors will avoid like plague given the size (lack thereof) and locality (prostitute street, lots of parapundeks etc).
I see.... hahaha.... cannot blame me for failing to see this connection due to my lack thereof (literally)!Originally Posted by mcmlxxvi

simple illustration. If you have only one shot at investing in a prime location property and an experienced investor told you that dumping all that money on The Sail at $3000psf for a bay view unit on the 50th floor is a safe investment that will reap you decent capital gains in future, apart from due diligence on the property, what else do you need for you to commit to that property? Isnt that one thing guts or "balls"?

How come I have a feeling that FEO is forever greedy... wanna wait for prices to go up higher and higher..
They are trying to lead in the property upsurge and they are greedy

Greedy is only when somebody take more than what other people are willing to give them and these other people are not given any choice / or have no power to do anything about it.

If they really sell at over-valued price, why there are buyers for their properties? It may be too early to judge though.

Well, this is the eventuality (just a matter of time). Sooner or later we will have $1m HDB flat! Don't put too much credit to FEO for helping to achieve this. Wa-ha-ha!
