Buying property is same as buying stocks.
(1) the low quantum easy to buy. Just like why ppl feel EC is good because low quantum. Just like those stocks value below US$40
(2) once demand is there and after hearing ppl making money and many fantastic examples, all cheong in to buy. At some stage, some make money, some stuck. EC a bit like IPO, most ppl make money. Some will lose money also if enter too late etc..
(3) after a while, valuation looks crazy although no one really cares till a lot of ppl suffers. Just like stocks with high price/ sales ratio of 100? Usually parties continue then when government comes in, things changes
Let me use some numbers
(1) Assume Parc starts with $1100psi (poor facing) and $1200 psf (good facing). The poor facing one usually safe because they will sell reasonable price. Those with good facing, high floor have more expectation when you sell hence maybe more difficult to sell
(2) First time get usually 100% make money (property agent say) and it is true. Now suddenly sales super good and developer up 5%. Which means now $1155psf and $1260psf. The 2nd group of buyers maybe a bit risky but may make money also. Then sales very good and developer up another 5%. Now price is $1210psf and $1320psf. This group of buyers have more risks. Then property sales sold till last 10%, developer up 5% again, this group got even higher risk. Now property fully sold but not all buyer receive S&P because some appeal this and that. Suddenly 1-2 buyers faced financial problem or decide to divorce or appeal rejected. Developer very happy because can take back then jack up another 5-10% to “help” remaining fomo buyers, this group of buyers have the higher chance of losing money. That is why I don’t believe in all buyers make money theory. Don’t believe you ask developer or agent to be guarantor, no one got the balls to sign. U die, your problem
(3) Another risky one is when there is 1 unit left in those super good facing and high floor. Likely returned unit or something. This kind I usually won’t buy because sure crazy price one.
Lately saw 1 unit at rivercove so just ask agent. She said this is some return unit or some ****. Everyone in the estate pay below $1000 psf. But this unit is so special because (a) top liao so no need to wait (b) last unit left and last chance to join the river facing elites, (c) lucky unit pop out of no where. Because of all these huat reason, the psf become $1250psf or some **** to match Ola and Parc. Lol, this kind u buy, the risk is yours.
Congrats to those who bought early. No matter what happen (policy, interest) Huat!! Those buy late one do your own due diligence ok?
