Stirling Residences

I wonder. I dont think its as straightforward as you say. Lets revisit this in a few years

As long as I’ve my umbrella, I’m good. Not a necessity to have a sheltered walkway. But good to have one lah, can help in SR’s appreciation

Am here at D3 so kaypo the 1 & 2 bedders past 6 months rental caveats.

Queens peak:
1 bed > 2100-2600
2 bed > 2550-3500

Commonwealth Towers:
1 bed > 1500-2800
2 bed > 2750-4200

TBH, I will not even look at Queens peak. The design with MSCP and wavy balcony doesn’t seems appealing. Not to say that 2/3/4 bedders common room can only fit in single size bed. So far 2 units subsale. 3 years SSD not over for this unit.

Commonwealth tower design look very timeless. I like the sky garden where u get a great view of the vicinity. However, I don’t particularly like the in unit refuse chute. Every now and then, Low Floor units in particular will hear rubbish sound being thrown, pretty scary in middle of night. Some may like in unit chute due to convenience but not for me.

Stirling first batch of buyers seems safe due to its lower entry price as compared to current buyers. I like that the whole development is elevated where level 2 starts from a height of normal level 6/7. South facing will have great view. Construction is pretty quick too. Launch later than Affinity but it’s Super duper fast!

I got to agree Commonwealth Towers design looks the best out of the 3 - Stirling, QP and Commonwealth Towers. I was won over by its timeless architecture. Simply chio! Could have the best value retention. I find Stirling the least chio though, QP wavy balcony design looks nice to me.

Yea no choice due to family situation. Able to hold till mar 21 so that i limit the SSD to 4%.. just hope can recuperate this via selling px

 

[shadow84]

Consider forfeiting and get back some $$ instead? Or this option not possible le?

Don't worry, many rich sinkies waiting to snap up for 1.24m

Can get 1.2m i contented le...any idea best way to go about sub sale? Assume still need pay agent commission.thanks!

For a new sale to enter subsale, you’re competing with direct developer + your neighbours + Neighbouring projects as well.

Based on past developer transaction for the same configuration of yours, $1.201-$1.263m buyers has gotten a much higher floor unit (level 32-39)

It’s best that developer has sold out or nearly sold out the 2 bedder configurations so it’s easier for current buyers to offload in the subsale market.

Since yours is on level 10, gotta find someone that’s willing to pay $1.2m for Lower level coz there’s also a possibility that developer still has balance 2 bedder units in that price range but at a HIGHER Floor. Potential buyer might be swayed to get direct from developer instead. If developer almost sold out, then pricing it at $1.2m might be possible.

Let’s not forget potential buyers are price sensitive in this climate, they might even lowball you. Why don’t you wait till your 3rd year SSD over to dispose? Not sure what’s your reason but paying SSD is not worth even if it’s 4%
Since you’ve alrdy paid BSD of 4% as well.

However on the other hand, when your 3rd year SSD over, there’s also more competitions from first batch of buyers since their SSD will end July 2021.
Something to ponder on.

Oh... 1.1mil... then you might be able to lose less by doing so. Best is to do your own calculations and see which path would you rather take, forfeit or try to sub sale. If you choose to sub sale, see how much must you sell the unit at to breakeven. If the price to breakeven is too high and might not attract ppl to buy, then you can consider forfeiting instead, saving the trouble. Dun think we can advise you much with the given info.

Something to take note too,will 2bed1bath configuration be as popular as compared to the traditional 2bed2bath? Hmmmm

Try approaching the agent whom u bought from and ask him if he is willing to take a smaller cut of the commission, likely u will be able to exit at 1.1m imo.. based on psf u.bought around 1762psf should be able to exit ard 1750psf -1800psf thereabouts.

This was something I was thinking about a lot before buying into 2br2bath for Forett.

My opinion is that they are better suited for:
2br1bath: investors (rental), singles, young couples (can only afford a lower quantum)

2br2bath: young couples, small families, downgraders

Which layout has is a bigger pool of buyers? I believe it’s 2br2bath. What do y’all think?
