Good morning all... i bought a 2+1 unit @ SA in April, now waiting for S&P. Mixed of personal and other reasons on the decision.
1. Too long waiting time for BTO, SA should be around Q1 2018 (in fact we got a rather gd q number for 5 rm Bedok South)
2. Near to my current home in Teck Whye (Teck Whye Market has everything eg wet mkt, 2 supermarts, 6 kopitiams, etc)
3. Trust in MCL Land - this HK developer does prestigious projects and if I'm not wrong, this is the 1st EC project they take on?
4. Fengshui - most of the units have not bad to great fengshui, mainly due to the direction of the land. As we are in Period 8, houses facing NE and SW are favorable to East kua people (my SO).
We didnt want to use finish our OA account or top up a single cent of cash for loan repayment, so we went for a 2+1 unit. Like WV, stack 24 is not selling ultra hot but that's the stack we purchased after doing some research on the unit number numerology. ^^
Accessibility wise is not there yet. 4 bus stops away from CCK Mrt, 2 busy LRT stations, limited buses (but i know there are more buses passing by SA directly to town / CBD). The good thing about having more flats coming up = increased in number of buses connecting to other parts of SG. Shuttle bus will be provided to JE for 1 year (fair enuff but my thought is might scrap off if majority of the residents drive).
Currently, imo, Rainforest is the best EC compared to Mi Casa / WV. Good distance away from mosque, bus stop with bridge just in front of side gate, gd walking distance to CCK station and Lot 1 shopping mall.
WV is very good too but on Friday afternoons, that road will be jammed with cars due to the worshipping at the mosque. Not much a prob since all will be working. Walking distance to polyclinic is actually a plus. The schools around the area are generally not bad. I came from Teck Whye Pri but trust me, the school is 500% much better in terms of facilities now compared to 80s to mid 90s or so. Lol! Reason why i didnt go for WV is that i am not impressed by the theme and FS etc.
As this is the first home we purchase, we hope to have more options in the future whether to stay for good (facilities will be good to have in long run), purchase private ppty, rent this out or even move back to hdb with more $$$ in our OA acct.
And yes, EC projects will not be running too long, so for those still on the fence, can just drop by any of the showflatz and decide. Most imptly, dont stress the pocket and be happy.
Afterall, a house becomes a home because of the ppl living inside, not the size or type of ppty.

WELL WRITTEN. Most ppl bought EC for own stay. So it is better to buy within your means. That is why the bigger units sell faster whereas small unit in PC always got snatched out.
EC seem to be getting lesser. How many lands can the gov sell to build EC?
With the recent 1B land sale, think it is more profitable to sell to built PC.
