You have missed the much lower-priced ECs for sure.

No new EC launch how to be gauge hot or not ?
Sure hot if reasonably priced.

Not sure why, but many rush to buy EC that time. Friends also ask me get one for upgrade. :s22:
Are EC still hot now?

There r pple who made a lot and pple who lose a lot in property also...better for Sgpn not to be property crazy and chain ourselves into big debts ie overleverage.

Hubby says he is devastated that I made him sell our landed but I really don't like living with more and more construction worker tenants because of Bidadari.

Your husband is right.
FH landed should be bought, never sold. If it's 99lh, of course need to sell.

It will only get more and more expensive down the years.

Only 5% of the population lives in landed property.

The scarcity of FH Landed means your group of buyers are the ones who made it in life type..
U know the wealth of the top 10% of the income earners will always outpace that of the middle class.
If a OCR condo can be worth $2mil in future (example), there is no reason for a FH Landed to be worth only $2mil. It will be at least $4mil onwards.

Land can not sell to foreigner, difficult to rent, very high cost rebuild or renovate.

What is the quality of life in a landed? Feels so claustrophobic to me. If it was in a third world country, then would look like slums. Landed should be like US or US, well spaced out with a front lawn and a backyard. Landed in SG is a joke.

confirm not a sinke joke :s13:

Anyway it is not easy for foreigners to get approval to buy Spore landed. So confirmed it is a sinkie only game. Haha.

Effectively, foreigners can only buy condos. I read that 15% of Mayfair Garden buyers are foreigners. Poor them having to pay all the crazy absd. Lol!

Enbloc has now started for row of landed.

But unlikely to go through. Good effort for trying, I think.

Yeah not easy to get 80% agreement, don't talk about getting 100%. How is your en bloc going?

Only if our country can be as large as USA. You should compare Singapore to place like Tokyo or New York City.

Re put up for second attempt. No official offer was received.
Good lesson learnt though. Can re-try again 2 years later.

Realistically, hope to only enbloc about 10-12 years later when we potentially dun need the space.

Bitterness.,frustrated ......as this is beyond his reach in his lifetime stuck here.

He may have such a dream at Iskandar though.

Be happy & grateful to be such a peaceful country. No gun,no easy drugs, safe , stable & no natural disaster.

En bloc fever will come, from to time, in waves. I am happy one of mine was successfully done recently at a very good price. Hope to sell the rest en bloc in the next 12 years.

I sold my investment MM unit already. Oversupply, falling rental yield made me sell.
Overall, MM not worth the money...time and effort...heard quite a few people lost money...I am not sure how to calculate but hubby said we made a little only.

Simplest way is take your sale price less original cost price. I also just sold my EC immediately MOP. Sold 880k bought 642k = 238k profit. Going to be houseless soon :s13:
