Hi gurus,
I'm looking at Rio Vista for own-stay. Property Guru has someone selling a 1055sqft at $705k nego.
Wonder what will be the appropriate asking price for a 2-bedder in this development?
Thank you so much!
Blessings,

Own stay no need to think so much as long as you like the unit and the price is reasonable. How to define reasonable, look at similar units in the same development and their transacted price.Originally Posted by glwk9
You can also look at psf basis, facing and condition of unit. Range should be mass market prices $500 psf to $650 psf (guide only). Appropriate asking price is subjective. Crazy people ask crazy prices. The one beside much cheaper but...
quite low asking....fishing ad???Originally Posted by glwk9
3bedder oredi hit 700psf for above 10th flr....
Just 3 yrs ago my friend sold her 3 bedder for 550k...how times have changed...Originally Posted by devilplate
how paper money shrinkssssOriginally Posted by mantrix
The purchasing power of a dollar *within* Singapore will shrink further due to US and Europe problems. Any demand of goods will still come from the asia e.g. China, Indonesia etc. So Asia will get richer at the expense of US and Europe in the next few years.
However it takes many years for infrastructure such as schools to be built up. Hence many richer Asians will come to Singapore to bring up their family or use it as a base for their regional business. The problem is exacerbated by the current immigrants who bring back the good news about the living standard here and more will come in to buy up the properties. And we haven't talked about Americans and Europeans who want to come to Singapore to look for work...
But we got to watch out for increase in interest rates (because many who are buying now are likely to be taking up large loans), and possibly a biological threat e.g. SARS because of our high population density and inadequate hospitals.
I feel the price is still quite market-rate. A check from URA on the previous transactions indicated 2-bedder is below $700k.Originally Posted by devilplate
Any comments on the this development?
Thanks to all who replied... Appreciate =)
Any comments on this development despite leasehold @ 99yrs?
is this the only area you are looking at ?Originally Posted by glwk9
Preferably within D19,20,26,28. Need to send my daughter to child-care in AMK. Did also consider Tangerine Grove (price is pretty steep), Castle Green (more than 10 yrs and psf quite high), other smaller boutique projects like Jansen Residences etcOriginally Posted by rainy
Any recommendations? Pls share... thanks =)
u actually called and viewed oredi??? genuine ad?Originally Posted by glwk9
how abt florida/evergreen park...Originally Posted by glwk9
At a time like this (when property prices are so high), it might make sense to buy a lower quantum apartment. Did you consider ECs in AMK (e.g. Nuovo)?
To travel from D19 (depend on which part and timing) to AMK every day can be a headache.

I have not viewed the unit yet. Looking for FH or 999-leased first. Went to see Tangerine Grove over the weekend. Asking psf rather steep.Originally Posted by devilplate
Compare among these 3 developments (Rio, Florida and Evergreen), my take is still Rio...Originally Posted by devilplate
Regentville is a no-no for me...Originally Posted by 2824
Serenity Park...though it's a FH but quite an old development from Far East.
haha... Nuovo offers pretty large sqft sizes and hence the quantum can be rather on the high side.Originally Posted by gohsoonk
May look at The Florentine project...
Care to share why not regentville, as prices still looks reasonable to me?

quite a dielama, get high floor maybe trapped by fire (think Towering inferno) get ground floor maybe hitted by killer litter.
Possible solution is to go for the low floors
Just kidding.

For a 2bedroom, more than 900 sft is consider good size.
This project does not really have a good track record. Not in my list of development to buy.Originally Posted by 2824
Yeah agree! The only thing is that it's 99-yr LH and over 700 units in this development.Originally Posted by timsumgirl
I think it might be a case that the patio owner tracked down the culprit and set his house on fire. Anyway that is a joke.Originally Posted by 2824
LITTER STARTED THE FIRE...
WE DID NOT START THE FIRE...
IT WAS THE OWNERS FAULT....
just joking.
Just to put a couple of comments as i stay around the area...
there are 3 ECs and this pte condo Rio Vista surrounding Punngol park. In terms of pricing, all these 4 condos are roughly in the same ballpark.
Among these 4 condos, Rio Vista has the worst view and it literally faces the drain and do not have direct park view compared to the 3 ECs. The outlook of the estate is something which I do not personally find desirable.
W/o parkview, it is also not near enough to ameneties like the MRT or supermarkets. The Florida besides it is alot better in terms of these. I believe you still can do a 10-12 min walk to Hougang Mrt.
If one die die wish to stay around this area, my best bet is The Rivervale if you do not mind the outlook of the estate (more HDB-looking). The location is very good and walking distance to Buangkok Mrt. It offers park view for most units (pls buy 7th floor and above). It has a supermarket and coffee-shop just across the road.
Park Green (where I stay) is newer but has far lesser amenities. It is a quiet place and if you can drive all the time, I will more highly recommend it to you. H/w, pls note that there are no 2-Bedders in Park Green. It is either 3 or 4 bedders.
Anyway, I am moving out in a couple of months. I will certainly miss the Parkview. It is a the best part of staying in this area.
certain units at rivervale offers the best parkview.....park+pond right in the middle ...nice view and breezy....last yr i chance upon a unit lor...but 14th flr leh...hahaOriginally Posted by fooblackie
parkgreen will no longer be quiet when construction next door starts....mabe tats y u sold ur place?
Interesting comments on the condos in the area, especially on the part of rivervale looking HDB like which i fully agree.
