Haig 162

Of course. They stay in cages. 500 sq ft apartment is a luxury.

I disagree with your point on no seaview!
Those stacks facing parkway parade's direction will have seaview for the higher floor units..I would say above #10 would be a safe bet!

Anyway better not say living in 300+ sq ft is inhumane for a single expat!
In hk, 2 bedders 500+ sq ft apartments lives a family of 4 to 5 n it is considered the norm over there.

IMO, rental demand will be weak for this project. I believe MM projects need to be close to MRT and preferably city fringe and/or CCR location.

Correct, that place is mostly for owners to stay, quite exclusive and very quiet.

Actually hor, sea view or the new ERL is not the main selling points in D15. It is something else.....this something else I have not decided whether to tell yet or not.

Good Luck.

Is it Fengshui?

[Jonathan0503]

Agree with your view on Haig Court, it has no baywindow, no planter, no ridiculous bicycle-parking aircon ledge, so your S$1500 psf is actually equivalent to just S$1200 comparing to nearby projects like esta, one amber; still at a reasonable discount to them...

Yes, that's true. Out of the 1453sf, save the air-con ledge of approx 50sf, the rest are all practical useful space...

Ooh.. Is that true?
Did u actually find out or u were just assuming based on your own judgement?

I feel that if it's near mrt, you will be able to ask for higher rental.
For this project with no mrt, the rental will be lower for sure.
It's also for tenants with wants to live in katong area with a lower budget..
If mrt is so important in katong, nobody will be renting seaview, esta n the soon to be completed shore residences etc.....

Seaview esta shore residences are served by many buses going to cbd. Way more superior than haig 162 bus availability.

Based on its softening rental asking price.

And the profile of tenants renting MM usually wants to be near mrt as they are budget conscious.

They are not MM projects.

Rental there about 2.5k plus minus.
Based on purchased price there @ close to about 500k during launch for the 1 bedder shoebox, the returns is about 6%...
U judge yourself if it's good returns or not?

[thomastansb]

Rental for this project can get from 2k onwards. Not difficult.

But near MRT and budget conscious is false. Budget concious will go for HDB, then outskirt old condo. Those who get near MRT are those who can pay and want convenience.

Actually many expats take taxi to n from work..To them, our taxi fares here are still cheap compared to where they come from eg: Europe,japan n australia..
Having mrt nearby is not really essential for some tenants.

In fact the seller should also be heart pain selling @$600k!
Most likely not aware of latest transacted prices there or kept in the dark by the housing agent...
Must be a not effective agent!

Size for size, units near MRT command 20 to 30% more rental.

That's for sure in general, it goes without saying.

This condo looks nice but unfortunately the location sucks...But anyway, guess is still D15 so there will always be demand from suckers out there who want to upgrade to D15 from the outskirts like Pasir Ris, Balestier, Geylang etc

Sorry bro, Meyer is officially out of the prestige league of D15 due to its growing enclave from certain country.
