Hi DenL, thanks! Since it's mass market project, I wonder why there is no price list?

Not sure too but you can always get the agents to check on the pricing while you are there..Originally Posted by condolisa

By yesterday 3pm, all the good facing units has already been snapped up. I was told these buyers throw in their cheques on Tuesday without viewing the units.Originally Posted by fairlady04
The interesting thing about the sale here is that the agents are also not sure (they do not have the exact psf price on hand). They need to go and consult a central marketing team at the showroom. Very troublesome for the agents as they need to walk up and down.

My general feel is that this project is good for family stay but for investments, I am not too sure.. It has a nice view of both the reservoir or the quarry and though transportation network may not be too ideal if you are without a car, there is always the condo shuttle to ferry you to the nearest MRT station....Originally Posted by Emma
i was just thinking about waterview vs vacanza - where my money will be better spent. any thoughts anyone? from my perspective, these are 2 quite comparable based on the objectives i have set. but downside is both are not exactly near MRT station and might be difficult to rent or sell in the future. and given the mass market positioning of both developments, accessibility to transport is quite important imo.
Emma, comparing the 2, my thoughts are that the smaller units (2 or 2+1) units at waterview will make better investments for the sole reason of the view of the reservoir & quarry as its unique features.Originally Posted by Emma
Base on this, for purely investment reasons, I would go for stacks 26 & 25 of at 7flr and above for reservoir view and stacks 23,24,31 and 32 at 5flr and above for quarry view as 2nd choice (becos of the traffic noise).
Just my thoughts.
Thanks Acidic Straw!Originally Posted by acidic.straw
but my concern for the 2 bedders or 2+1 is the open concept of kitchen and living area. i am quite old schooled and traditional in terms of layout preferences. if the areas are not partitioned, won't the smoke and grease from the kitchen circulate freely into the dining and living areas? and the apartment will be quite greasy over time! ok i feel so embarrassed putting this down as all of you must feel i am quite auntie-ish!
On the contrary, I quite agree with you on the greasy stuff. But fortunately, there are many tenants who don't really mind especially for those that don't cook. For singles or couples who are professionals, eating out is the norm rather than cooking in.Originally Posted by Emma
Acidic straw, what about the pool view? Actually my first preference is the pool view as i feel it's quiter. are pool views less in demand in the eyes of potential buyers compared to reservoir or quarry views?Originally Posted by acidic.straw
I think unblocked reservoir view is likely to be preferred by buyers than pool view. Even better with both unblocked reservoir and pool view!
Do note that Vacanza is about 600m walk from the upcoming bedok reservoir mrt station. You have to walk past the amd factory and cross the overhead bridge of pie.Originally Posted by Emma
Reservoir view is limited to those condos near reservoir, whereas pool view is more common, thus the premium for reservoir view.

like this?

Reported in Business Times today, "SIM Lian Group is understood to have sold about 200 units at its Waterview condo at Bedok Reservoir since it began previewing the project on Tuesday this week."
wow, that's really fast! 又快又准! #9 is a top choice stack. Congrats congrats!!! Are you going to keep your current 4-br for rent to sell by the time of TOP?Originally Posted by East Lover
