I think we can see your bullishness index based on the length of your posts.

Back then I remember you comment 2~3 paragraphs per post; nowadays you always post one liner !

Hehe, I already quite give face Liao to even bother to comment on one liner.
Some old timers who r data driven and unbiased, don’t even bother to comment much lately. .
Whereas in some particular threads, u only get to see a few watch dogs barking and defending their turfs aggressively.. basically leaving no room for unbiased discussion anymore.

Eh, FAR got Owners Whatspp or Telegram grp?

 

[snowpatrol]

Wow, FAR is now down to the last 16 units remaining to be sold! Guess few would have expected this to happen given that when the conversation started on FAR last year, it was barely 50% sold?

 

[normoh]

Think mainly cos they kept the price steady at 2.4k-2.5k psf for the past year or so for most units and only touching 2.6k for few investment units. Plus TOP end this year is also a draw. Hopefully this does not mean the workmanship they cut corners....

 

[snowpatrol]

FAR is officially 100% sold as of 26-Sep! What a feat considering we were discussing about the possibility of a fire sale just 1.5 years ago?

Guess like they always say "only time will tell"......

 

[snowpatrol]

Depends on the wife. . Among all the projects this one she has the least resistance.

So @normoh did you buy a unit at FAR in the end?

Yup, got a place there and hoping they'd TOP on time. These interest rates hikes is giving me acid reflux.

100% sold? Wah...it looks like it'll never happen then. Wonder what they did to spur sales.

Congrats to you! Haha yah, the interest rates keep on rising like no tomorrow....

I didn't think Allgreen did much to spur the sales. I believe the overall market sentiments improved tremendously as we moved into post covid endemic state. And with all the recent launches at OCR transacting above $2k/psf, it somehow made FAR look like a "value for money" purchase given its location.

That makes sense, but somehow i'm unsettled by the talks of redeveloping Turf club and there being a PLH model of HDB estate. So the long term value abit unclear.

Actually I feel it will have a positive impact on FAR given that the redevelopment is likely gonna be 10-15 years from now. And I believe by then the launch price is gonna be $3-3.5k/psf minimally. Not so sure about the possibility of a HDB PLH because the land there seems too "precious" to build HDB flats.

By then, it would make FAR seems like a better alternative as compared to new launches at the Turf City area. Definitely music to the ears of FAR owners if it does come true!

I heard there is a delay in TOP… 2023 Feb, good luck

Ya sianz. They deliver less popular Royal and Juniper way before the stated TOP, and states a few months back they could TOP by 8th Dec. On one hand disappointed with the delay but on the other hopefully it means they wont rush and do a good job with the finishings.

Not sure whether the developer will pay liquidated damage due to delay TOP

 

[Choobie]

Yep they will but dunno if enough to cover the rising interest rates

only if it breaches the legal date they must complete.

I believe their strategy was to TOP Royalgreen and Juniper earlier so that they can offer the actual site for viewing in order to push up sales. I think it did work well in that aspect.

On the other hand, the more recent buyers of FAR were already given a TOP date of Jun 2023 so that is already an indication of a possible delay.

 

[Learn2Invest]

Has TOP been achieved? I saw FAR rental advertising at property guru.

This was one of the developments I was really keen in but decided to forego due to fengshui reasons. The land the property is sitting on is a triangle shape which is really bad for fengshui. Nevertheless, this is just a personal belief. There are many who don’t and this is good since it will not affect their buying decision. Location next to MRT is a plus point.

 

[normoh]

TOP liow, but still interior of alot of units not done up yet. Those developer promise to deliver on Dec 22 getting their keys in Jan/Feb. Looks like got lots of defects. Tot the extra time needed would mean they care to do a proper jib before handover. Others most prob getting their before Jun 23. Sianz.
