It is a common occurrence for those at the tail end of the queue and typically afflicts the Chinese more than the other races, since there is usually a bit of buffer to ensure Malays and Indians are represented in the neighbourhood.

Selection have yet to start though, so it is too early to tell if you or anyone picking would be affected :)

Its just a buffer that they usually use to bring down expectations of potential buyers. If all goes smoothly it shud b shorter than 5.

There is a Woodlands thread so feel free to browse there. But yes, it seems quite a few of us are looking at Marsiling. This should be good news for you, but be prepared to look at the options at Marsiling since there are so many more units available.

It also depends on the scale of the project too and how much ground works that need to be done to the plot of land I believe. :)

They usually won't go much earlier than 3 to 6 months than estimated completion date la, but won't be as late as TOP date :)
