    700-800 square feet 3 roomer now the norm for most new developments

    The 2nd and 3rd rooms usually get squeezed and in some only a single bed.

    Time is changing and� this may become the new norm

    Psychologically always fee good to say I stay in a 3 roomer, actually only about 700 square feet [laugh]

    New launch units are getting smaller and smaller, moving towards the Hong Kong route.

    Developers should provide some flexibility, choice to opt out one wall to be 2 bed.

    700 square feet for 2 bed still workable, for 3 bed...simply... [sweatdrop]

    700sf for 3 bedrooms is a very common design for those government subsidized medium cost housing in Malaysia since some three decades ago.

    In HK, three bedrooms with two full bathtub bathrooms can be neatly squeezed into an impressive space of 646sf, and selling for close to US$1m.

    went to visit a friend who moved into a 4 br condo

    his 3 kids have a room each...so lucky and elite

    but each kid's room can only accommodate 1 customised single bed with storage below when the bed is lifted up and the wardrobe provided by the developer

    the balcony is so huge, it stretches from the living room to 1 of the kids' bedroom and then the MBR

    supposedly 1300++ sqft but a lot of the space went to the balcony

    HDB floor plan size and value is unbeatable. Only tiny gripe is certain places the ceiling is low. High ceiling can be overrated but it makes a difference on a hot day unless one's air con is turned on whole day. Nowadays also see a lot of loft design especially for condo. It might be the only way forward for space starved ST.

    The developer understand who is the real master of the family, and who is the main income provider.
    When the husband offend the master he will be exile to the balcony, since he is the one paying for the property, we must make the balcony swee swee for him.

    the developer knows they are selling homes to elite people so no need to give so much space to the bedrooms to fit off the shelf furniture as the home owners have so much money they can afford to customise every single room�

    Last time the population was 2.3m and HK was 5 - 6m

    so its natural we are moving to HK size homes with our

    population at 5.5m.

    Anyway if you love your wife and kids you don't need such

    a big house where they can hide from you except for MIL.

    People really don't need so much space. Instead of a desk

    with PC, monitor, keyboard and mouse, I just sit on the sofa

    with an Ipad.

    And if there is not enough space you can even make love

    standing up.

    This is one I made earlier.

    Exactly. Even elites need to budget a bit. Buy empty space and save for customisation or save on space to spend on customisation.

    Ikea does have some customization options though. I am doing much measurements to increase usable space since it is a huge concern for most. It helps with a ceiling higher than 3.5m.

    But unless your friends and relatives can swim in the pool and mingle in the function room? Some more no need to self maintain or clean.

    I have another friend who has a jumbo flat with function room. We only went once because it is such a headache cleaning up.

    We can disagree with interpretation but never with raw numbers.

    Do you trust pipeline supply or actual supply?

    HDB peak was in 2014. Private peak was in 2015.

    There are always choices.

    As of now, new developments, near new developments, older developments, generally still offer a huge range in choice in terms of locality, size and price.

    My choice has always been to go out and gets something that fits my needs and affordability. If cannot afford, means not my time yet. So far, there has never been any regret with this thinking.

    If size is a concern, one can either quickly go and grab the units that are of the right size, or choose gripe about the smaller and smaller units with higher PSF (which essentially is none of your business if you do not buy them). Or can choose to sabo everyone by claiming every other person who supports property buying is an agent. Don't buy is also a feasible choice if you wish to continue with HDB, and hold cash or CPF to the maximum.

    Your choice of thinking today determines the person you become tomorrow.

    Precisely. Unsold units steadily dropping although at peak supply in 2015-2016 (Maybe there is a tie between 2015 and 2016 but its been 2 years of peak supply).

    What will happen in 2017/2018 when supply drops? Your guess is as good as mine.

    i not counting hdb coz i looking at private only.

    sold units is just 1 factor, the total supply amount is pushing rents lower so prices cant climb unless rents up too. just too many units for rent, nothing to do with sold or not as u have to factor in existing old units too

    If looking at supply instead of sold units, 2017 cld mark the bottom as i mentioned 2H17-1H18. So as the flood of completions supply reduce, rents then will go up again

    in terms of when to buy, now onwards to the next 24mths is best long term IMO

    have to add political risk premium when projecting price growth. eg. they may not remove any CMs for next few yrs

    remember that its been almost 10yrs since last global recession, so add that risk premium in too when looking at prices

    Also do factor in the steady growth of income since 2009 and the price falls during 2013-2016 (almost like a mini-recession) when other countries prices continued to spike some 30%.

    There are always choices.

    As of now, new developments, near new developments, older developments, generally still offer a huge range in choice in terms of locality, size and price.

    My choice has always been to go out and gets something that fits my needs and affordability. If cannot afford, means not my time yet. So far, there has never been any regret with this thinking.

    If size is a concern, one can either quickly go and grab the units that are of the right size, or choose gripe about the smaller and smaller units with higher PSF (which essentially is none of your business if you do not buy them). Or can choose to sabo everyone by claiming every other person who supports property buying is an agent. Don't buy is also a feasible choice if you wish to continue with HDB, and hold cash or CPF to the maximum.

    Your choice of thinking today determines the person you become tomorrow.

    wow...you managed to subtly make it sound like non-property investors would be the lesser persons of tomorrow

    well done

    In the case of The Trilinq, the increase in sales might have come too late. �As of end Jul 2016, there is still 391 unsold units. �There is barely 6 months left to the deadline. �Now IOI, the developer, has to sell at least 65 units per month from now, not 50 units per month as calculated in the beginning of the year.

    The situation for The Trilinq has gotten worse! �

    But if the private property market can recover fast enough, IOI might get a slim chance to escape paying the ABSD penalty. �

    Personally, I will not recommend buying The Trilinq, if the review by Proper Square is to be believed: �

    At the end of the day, you must like what you see, then make the decision. �Happy house hunting!

    Relook those words in red again.

    I meant to say that low / zero risk using HDB and cash / CPF is feasible. (Note: these people are contented and they are safe).

    Griping about small size etc doesn't make developers build bigger units right? If you want to buy and choose to gripe, there will be lots of disappointment tomorrow isn't it?

    HDB floor plan size and value is unbeatable. Only tiny gripe is certain places the ceiling is low. High ceiling can be overrated but it makes a difference on a hot day unless one's air con is turned on whole day. Nowadays also see a lot of loft design especially for condo. It might be the only way forward for space starved ST.

    If we cannot really change those factors too much, we can only make lifestyle modifications to cope. Those who can use adopt those strategies will use them.
