    HDB launches 4,170 new flats
    February 24, 2016

    In the first Build-To-Order (BTO) exercise of 2016, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) launched 4,170 new flats for sale on Wednesday (24 Feb).

    Spread across three projects located in the non-mature estates of Bukit Batok and Sengkang, and the mature estate of Bidadari, they make up the first batch of 18,000 flats that will be launched this year, the HDB said in a statement.

    range of 2-room Flexi to five-room and 3Gen flats are being offered, with prices ranging from $85,000 for a 2-room Flexi flat at West Plains Bukit Batok to $553,000 for a 3Gen flat at Alkaff Oasis in Bidadari (Toa Payoh), excluding grants.

    Meanwhile, eligible first-time buyers of new flats enjoy up to $80,000 in housing grants, comprising up to $40,000 in Special CPF Housing Grants and up to $40,000 in Additional CPF Housing Grants. With these grants, buyers of 2-room Flexi flats pay as little as $4,000, said the HDB.

    The next BTO exercise will take place in May, with around 4,070 new flats in Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bukit Merah, Bukit Panjang and Sembawang being offered for sale. In addition, 5,000 balance flats will be released in a concurrent Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercise.

    Return of big-ticket purchases in Districts 9 and 10


    Despite concerns over the global stock market rout, economic uncertainty and interest rate hikes, investors have continued to snap up �value buys� in luxury condos in the traditional prime districts of 9 and 10. Some of these transactions were even done at prices above $3,000 psf.

    At the Ritz-Carlton Residences on Cairnhill Road, two 3,057 sq ft, four-bedroom units on the 26th and 33rd floors were sold for $10.6 million ($3,467 psf) and $11.6 million ($3,795 psf) respectively, according to caveats lodged on Feb 5. Both units were said to have been purchased by a mainland Chinese national whose offer prices were even above the developer�s asking prices, says Lydia Wu, associate district director of OrangeTee. �Mainland Chinese buyers tend to be less price-conscious than local buyers, and this particular buyer wanted the units for its lifestyle and prestige,� she adds.

    �The increase in the number of transactions involving big-ticket luxury apartments since the start of 2016 could be a sign of a turnaround in the luxury residential space,� says Alan Cheong, head of research at Savills Singapore.


    Pay more than asking price? KNN, stupid buyers or a stupid agent shouting very hard to move the market? Even my toes are laughing. LOL

    They say above but never say how much above ma. $1 above also above. Maybe the buyer wanted the number to be auspicious, like 10,799,999, then give 1 dollar more for 10.8 million lo.

    Such auction is not uncommon, even in the good times. Having been going in for many years. Just that now, the volume is getting higher.

    Anyone has the choice to choose the place they wanna buy , personally I won't even bother , 800 sf is a normal one room apartment space back then before those mucky mouse concepts come about .

    Only the foolish will commit to such places , anyway their choice , their way of live , as long as they are happy who cares .

    As for Aussie property ,their property bubble is bursting and likely that same apartment is going to cost you less looking forward , the so called view vs the connectivity Singapore offers , I don't think we are talking apple to apple. No night life, no supper places , no easy access to other Asian counties or anywhere , Australia is for people who wanna enjoy their time doing things at a relax mode.

    That's exactly what I need. Quiet and slow. Away from cities. Not so much for investments. Plan ahead for retirement and holiday home. If not in use I might plan to rent out to nearby business park executives, which is just 1/2 hour away. The bubble is depend where the core is. It's a big country. Not like Singapore. The place that I'm in dies not have much competition. The bubble is real at court area where many developers tend to launch there.

    Good point but if you are spending more than $10m in this market, you bargain down and not up to an auspicious number. There is probably some freebies somewhere that is not disclosed.

    Last year visited a staff's new private condo 810sqft. When I see the 2+1 rooms, OMG!! Bearly fit a queen size bed. and the rest narrow walk way. He end up push the bed to the corner to some space. Not to mention the common room. View facing swimming pool and complain noise at times. And he spend SGD1.1mil. Vs I spent AUD1.1mil for a 1350 sqft (2 rooms) in Australia with a great view.

    As one of our sunny bro here mentioned bang oneself here and oneself there. If 2 persons in the room, problem! I bangbang you , you bangbang me. :a-bang: :a-bang: We used to laugh at Hong Kong's apartments years ago. And now is Singapore's turn to be laugh at. So with the 6.9mil , I wonder how Singapore will be?? [bounce1] [bounce1] :a-confused:

    We can coin in a new item for new Singapore mass market condos , as "Bang-Here-Bang-There-Apartments (BHBTA)"

    UOL no condo launches in 2016
    February 26, 2016

    Despite the depressed market conditions in Singapore, group revenue was up 12 percent to $1.28 billion. Specifically, revenue from property development, the group�s largest revenue generator, rose 27 percent to $557.5 million, mainly from local residential projects.

    About 850 housing units in Singapore were sold last year by UOL, with a sales value of more than $900 million. In 2015, it launched two condominiums � Botanique at Bartley and Principal Garden in Prince Charles Crescent, which have sold over 70 percent and 21 percent of their units at an average price of $1,286 psf and $1,601 psf respectively. No new launches are being planned for 2016.

    Under its pipeline for residential projects is a 99-year leasehold site in Clementi Avenue 1 which could yield over 500 condo units. As this is expected to be the tallest Prefabricated Pre-finished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) building in the world, UOL is adopting a conservative approach and plans to launch it next year.

    Meanwhile, revenue from property investments grew 11 percent to $219.4 million for the fiscal year.

    Bro, my current living environment belongs to those pre-2005 designs which are more spacious but to be honest, lots of wasted spaces.

    Technology and cultural changes allow us to live better in smaller spaces. If not, HDB would not have built so many one bedders or studios just about 40sqm in size.

    Technology - just upgrading the TV from projection TV or CRTV to flat screen TV mounted on the wall�saves something like 2-3sqm of space, just by reducing the comfort distance from sofa to TV.

    Traditional Chinese Altars take another 2-3sqm as well.

    Shelves of books have been replaced by eBooks and Kindle (for those who would still love to read). Another 2-3 sqm.

    From older mainframe computers to laptops and Ipads. Obsolete gigantic sewing machines that older folks loved to use. Powerful handphones useful for basic processing. From huge kitchen stoves to induction cookers for moderners who actually rarely ever cook. Everything adds up. If the cost of construction is so high, why do we insist on buying space we don't need and don't use?

    Well designed wardrobes also help to keep things neater and simpler and help to organise remaining space. If one has a high ceiling, it may also be cost effective and modern looking to design lofts to maximise the usable space.

    Singapore is small. Small means small. No matter how we twist and bury our heads, it is small and we can't run away from the fact. But being small has never stopped us from dreaming big. What matters�to some or many of us is how we make use of it to deliver essentials to us, in areas such as education and medical services. And in my honest opinion, in just these two areas, the value and quality of what we get in relation to what we pay is unbeatable in comparison to any country.

    Well, that's individual taste. Believe if there is an option, most will chose the bigger ones. Me, just doesn't like that small. I'm more towards space and greenery. On top of this, like some alfresco dining along small towns and not so crowded, as what we see locally.

    I also realized units are pretty close to neighbors. Worst of all, some can even see face to face of their neighbors' kitchen. Left, right is all concrete jungle. As you had mentioned small is small, that's the fact of Singapore's condos.�

    Lastly, I am not closing doors in investing local properties. But the current prices are just on the high side. For now, patience is the key.�

    I went to a recently TOPed Sim Lian development recently.

    The workmanship and quality i would consider below BTO standards.


    On another note, during CNY, went to my wife's relatives new 3 room flat BTO.
    Close to a point block concept with 6 units per floor.

    The location is utterly ulu, but i have to say the 3 room layout is extremely practical and even excellent. Every single piece of space can be fully utilised.

    Better even than the usual 4-5 room flats i've been to. Definitely better than most condos i've been to.

    Don't succumb to marketing mind games of property developers

    Developers and marketers continue to "stay positive" with their outlooks, often making comments that the Government could be removing some curbs soon and the market could well take off from there.

    These statements are "powerful" because they play into the minds and emotions of consumers who may decide to buy now, for fear that prices will increase if the market takes off later.

    �The increase in the number of transactions involving big-ticket luxury apartments since the start of 2016 could be a sign of a turnaround in the luxury residential space,� says Alan Cheong, head of research at Savills Singapore.

    Pandora co-founder and son buy 2 units at Boulevard Vue
    FEB 29, 2016


    TWO members of the well-known Danish family that founded Pandora, a company famous for its charm bracelets, are plonking down over S$31.1 million for two high-end apartments at the Orchard belt. The apartments, each of which is 4,478 square feet, are at the plush Boulevard Vue condo along Cuscaden Walk.

    Per Algot Enevoldsen is paying almost S$15.9 million or S$3,550 per square foot (psf) for his apartment while son Christian is buying a unit three floors below for close to S$15.23 million or S$3,400 psf.

    Both units were sold by the project's developer, a unit of Far East Organization. The 33-storey freehold condo near Orchard Road received its Temporary Occupation Permit in November 2013.

    At Boulevard Vue, there was also a third transaction recently - a mid-floor unit sold by Far East at close to S$14.7 million or S$3,280 psf. The buyer is an Indonesian national who is a Singapore permanent resident.

    I am thinking along the same line. How much the property prices depreciated?? Is not even a correction. Those prices are still sky high. Good job Lawrence [thumbsup]

    If you notice, quite a number of areas have actual prices have increased, recently.

    ????????

    If can get HDB, still the best option. Even Indonesia is picking up on it, quoting Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

    http://www.straitsti...tas-new-estates

    The question(s) to ask is after having and/or settling the HDB, what next?

    Most older private developments do have store room and drying area. Some new ones have as well.

    From the looks of it,�many people are asking the�right questions and following up with the�optimal actions.�

    Think the intention just like CEVS for cars is noble and good ie lifestyle changes instead of just floor area but as usual, smart alecs go round it and milk it to their benefits and as always, we buyers end short changed and in this case, our basic housing needs are compromised.

    No store room then where to keep unsightly items like vacuum cleaner, broom, ironing boards, ladders etc.�

    No laundry area/service yard- not everyone uses a dryer which is not a necessity in our humid environment but by cutting our service yards, we don't have a space to dry laundry and it becomes even more unsightly when people are drying clothes in balconies and all other areas (even across bedroom windows)!!!


    They must be viewed in relation to overall inflation plus wage growth since 2009.

    If you factor these two in, the "depreciation" is huge actually.
