hi mango. my apology for the late reply as i went on a holiday. the size of my EC unit (woodsvale) is 119sqm, i.e. 1281sqft. 3-bedroom. master bedroom very big - can put a king size bed. am selling it in 3rd qtr of 2007 as moving to a 2-bedroom unit as i only got a daughter.
very well-maintained. my hubby put plastic sheets on the glass-top and kitchen counter-top to protect them from scratches. i also lined the cabinets with wrapping paper and rubber mat to prevent them from getting dirty. unit is like 2yrs old though it is 6yrs old. all lightings were from italy and not those look-a-like. very durable, till now yet to change any bulbs.
the selling price include customised built-in shoe cabinet, mirror in dining room, TV cum display cabinet in living room, door bell, lightings, curtain tracks + curtains (FOC), door grille, stainless steel fixtures in bathrooms and kitchen, window grille in yard, 6 aluminium clothes rods, etc.

Dear all, I am looking for units in The Calrose. Heard the TOP is next year 3rd quarter...does anyone know when is the exact month? I went to look at The Calrose during the soft launch. I was not able to buy it then as my EA has not reached 5 years of MOP yet. Now, I am eligible for it.
I went to take a look at Sensoria (Sembawang) A very small development yet commanding $850,000 for pool facing unit, area is 118sqm. Quite a joke that ulu area are jumping on the bandwagaon of rising property prices to make a killing. Reports in Straits Times indicate only a 12% rise in Yishun/Sembawang area yet this agent was trying her luck and pushed it I suppose. The initial prices before the rising prices of Sensoria is less than $580,000.....See...Hope I wont kenna another agent like that for The Calrose. Any advice? I dun mind any ready freehold development in the north that already TOP and I can have immediate occupation as I would like to move asap. TIA.

Any advise between "The Tropica" and "Pinevale" located in Tampines? I am looking at both but couldn't decide coz the prices are quiet close. I am more looking for own stay for the next 5 yrs, after which could be on rental or sell off.
By the way, for buying condo, what are the monthly fee that I need to consider/add-in other than the loan repayment, monthly condo maintenance fee and utilities? What about property tax?

For your budget, it's difficult to get a 3br unit in the area. The price is around $900+ psf. 3 br cost ard $1m+. I went to the new projects and launches to take a look recently. Most around that price for a 3 br. Not sure about resale ones. But usu more ex than new units.

if u are looking for investment purpose... try to get FH n 2 br or smaller... easier to rent out..better rental yield... if u are looking for own stay... doesn;t matter much so as long u love the unit n the price is right... =)
Just rem...LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION.... that's the key pt for investment purpose..so it doesn't really matter if it's FH or 99 years... LOCATION is the one that matters!

I am also torn btw a FH or 99 for investment.. I tot 99yrs not easy to sell next time?? I am contemplating to either stay in my HDB 5 room and rent out the condo, or the other way round... Which is more lucrative? Also, good Location = high price=higher rental so may not be easy to rent out since more expensive for tenancy? Should I get a cheap condo = cheap rental at not so good location, or expensive condo = high rental = good location?? Usually tenant go for price or location? I know given the same price people of course go for location. But if my condo is cheap enough to rent, will I get more response?? haiz.. headache..

Hi,
Need some advice on a new condo launch near bedok reservior.
Was told near to a proposed MRT line, within 1km of red swastika and oppo bedok reservior. it is suppose to be abt 700persq feet. Is it a good price. I heard this condo price is suppose to be b4 the confirmation of the MRT site.
Anything to look out for? I am going for a invitation only preview and agent says can give me extra perks that day.
Anything else to look out for?

Hi newbride,
Are you referring to Waterfront Key? There is a proposed Eastern Region MRT line but I think the completion is in 2020.
I'm also considering this purely for investment purposes.
Anyway, just to let you know that if you can gather a couple of your friends/family who are keen to purchase also, you should be able to "squeeze" for a discount from the developer.
Good luck!

Buying private condo
Yes, buyer does not pay any commission. The commission is paid by seller. Usually 1% of selling price. You do not need to worry about valuation report. The bank that you are going to get the loan from will be able to do the valuation of the ppty for you for free. It's impt to go to the bank and find out how much loan you are eligible for before shopping around for the ppty otherwise you cannot make any offer. Remember that the banks will only loan you typically 80% of valuation price. So if you see a ppty that seller is asking $500k but the bank only gives a valuation of $450k, it means that you can only get a loan of:
80% of $450k = $360k
Assuming the remaining 20% comes from your cash and CPF, i.e. $90k
That means you have to top up the remainder $50k in cash.
Add in about 2-2.5k for lawyer's fees (normally the banks subsidise this) and another 3% of selling price for stamp duty.
There's a lot of homework to do when buying a condo but you can do it yourself witout an agent. You just need a good mortgage specialist from a bank who can give you valuation reports very quickly. Because if they take too long, you cannot offer a price and before you know it, the unit is gone.
We are using a lawyer that my family has been using for many years.
Feel free to PM me if you need more info coz I don't check this thread. Just happened to stumble by.

Hello,
I'll be collecting the key in a week's time. However, the owner has decided to rent the unit for 2 months, as they were told last min they needed to move.
Any idea how much rental to charge them? It's a 2+1 near sengkang along yck rd. Or should we postpone the completion till futher date? The problem is my furniture and appliances are coming end of Sept and we intend to do some reno.
Ideas ideas...
