    When was the preview? Even after the latest regulations changes, the market is still so good? Seems like the cooling measures still not that impactful

    actually the talk was 1900psf but newspaper reported 1800psf average sales price. limited units, unique project, ok lah, has its attractions. these buyers also not likely to be affected by the measures anyway.

    yeah, but that's alright isn't it? when this thread started, talk was 1900psf, so the average 5% below expectations. "priced to sell"?

    Despite the tougher measures aimed at cooling the property market, a 99-year luxury project, Dorsett Residences, above Outram MRT Station was sold out in one day when it was launched at an average price of $1,800 per sq ft yesterday. But The Straits Times understands that 40 per cent of the 68-unit project was bought by a single buyer.

    Outram Park MRT with 40% bought my a SINGLE buyer? Hmm... Looking at the crowd around Outram Park MRT, I'm not surprised the tenant mix will be quite similar to People's Park Complex

    Wah. Now MM with $900k price tag also called "LUXURY" project. I think Singapore's standard of "luxury" is VERY LOW. At least in HK, units need to be above a certain size and quantum to be considered "luxury".

    As suspected, MM units are still popular despite the new measures. I think the new measures will drive most investors and PRs (not eligible for HDB because have foreign properties) to the $700k to $1.2 million properties. With the LTV reduced to 70%, the upfront payment ($300k - $350k) is still manageable for most as an investment.

    Because these Dorsett buyers did not come to this forum to read the "Victory" speeches by the BEARS declaring victory and the founding of the socialist People's Republic of China.

    Wow. Not a bad deal with 4.8% gross return. MM to me should be less than 500sqft.

    Those data have to wait a while. Someone mentioned that 40 units were bought by 1 buyer. Duno true or not.

    HDB flat dilemma for PRs and Singaporeans with property abroad

    By Esther Teo & Jessica Cheam


    PERMANENT resident (PR) Michael Lim is keen to upgrade to a larger HDB flat but the new rules on dual property ownership have put him in a pickle.
    Mr Lim's problem is that he also owns a condominium in Kuala Lumpur that he inherited when his father died. Previously, this would not have hindered his purchase of a resale flat. But now it will.
    The HDB announced on Monday that people who buy an HDB resale flat on or after Aug 30 must dispose of their private property - including any held overseas - within six months of the HDB purchase.
    The intention is to ensure that HDB flats go to owner occupiers first and are not viewed as an investment. This means Mr Lim, who has been living in Singapore for 10 years, must sell the condo in Kuala Lumpur if he wants to upgrade from a four-room to a five-room HDB flat to fit his family of four.
    But his mother-in-law is living in the condo and he has no plans to sell it.
    Mr Lim, 33, hopes the HDB will make an exception in his case, given that he did not buy the condo as an investment.
    'Malaysia is also our home and it's weird if we go back and do not have a place to stay... It's not fair to make me choose when I have ties to both countries.'
    Ms Bhavani Prakash, 40, a PR from India who has a home in Chennai, said the new rules will also deter her from buying an HDB flat.
    'The measures are quite draconian. Whether someone owns a property overseas really does not have an impact on the Singapore market... There are other ways to counter speculation,' she said.
    There are many other PRs who could find themselves in a similar dilemma.
    Experts say a significant number of PRs still have homes in their native countries since overseas properties are often cheaper than real estate here and are not as great a financial burden. A number of them may also have families back home living in those properties.
    Ms Prakash's Chennai condo cost her between $200,000 and $300,000 - a quarter of the cost of a suburban condo in Singapore.
    ECG Property chief executive Eric Cheng estimates that 40 per cent of PRs - especially those from Malaysia - own homes abroad, while PropNex chief executive Mohamed Ismail puts the figure at up to 30 per cent.
    ERA Asia Pacific associate director Eugene Lim believes that more than half of the PRs arriving over the past few years would still have properties back home.
    The curbs could also catch out Singaporean retirees with property offshore that they had bought for rental income or retirement. With strong family ties and business connections here, they might also be looking at buying HDB flats for their frequent visits here.
    Now, if they want to buy a resale HDB flat, they will have to dispose their overseas real estate or risk penalties by trying to dodge the new rules.

    40% by Single Buyer.. that's really fishy. Why annouce it? Did the single buyer request for it? These news don't come out in the public. The sail had buyers who bought floors, it was mentioned but its not the same, not bundled with 100% sold news.

    Whatever it is, the message is 100% sold when it is only 60% sold to others. Single Buyer, most probably related to developer's interest wants the 60% to exercise their options granted.

    Thang Dynasty saga in the making??
