Very long never drop by this thread. How is Slumberra estate these days? More residents as compared to 6 months ago?
Cheap only if you ballot BTO before Canberra MRT Station news was announced by LTA.
The selling points of Canberra estate are:
1) Affordable
2) Canberra MRT Station
3) Canberra Plaza
Other than that nothing much except that going to Johor Bahru for groceries/shopping is very convenient if you can tolerate the jams.
Downside is if you work or need to travel to east (Changi Airport) or south (Sentosa) part of Singapore more travelling time will be required. Going to Orchard is pretty reasonable distance though.
Buy hey just be grateful that you have a roof over your head because you are spending very little to buy into a place with a MRT Station at your doorstep especially if you live within 300m to it. A premium privilege you have to pay in other parts of Singapore. Even the prices in Punggol/Sengkang are not cheap these days.
On the MRT Station side will be all private condos. Those folks that bought the new and future condos will have to pay a premium for staying near a MRT Station.
