Treasure Crest

[derong07]

Does anyone know how much were Bellewaters and The Vales average PSF when they first launch?

And, is $750 average PSF for Treasure Crest considered cheap, relative to recent EC launches?

Yes, it definitely is. U can check out the transacted PSFs in the URA website for the recent EC developments. Bellewaters and The Vales in the range of ard $780-$800psf on average. It is also gg to be cheaper compared to the recently launched The Visionaire and Parc Life in Sembawang/Canberra.

Shouldn't compare with the ones in north

Compare with bel water and vales better

If comparing to the north then the more appropriate one will be Northwave. The facilities, layout and the ulu location is about the same. The bidding price for the land also around the same price psf and now with TC launch delay the launch date for both TC and NW will be around the same time.
So for buyer who does not need to stay in northeast can consider NW too.

Prior to Wandervale launch, SIM LIAN MD Mr Kuik said that Wandervale breakeven price is $700psf cause bought land at $361psf. That means construction and other costs are $339psf. He also said that Treasure Crest breakeven price is $670psf cause bought land at $280psf. That means construction and other costs are $390psf.

Difference is $51psf between the 2 ECs from same company building their own projects at the same time which will have similar construction costs.

Either Wandervale's quality is lower than Treasure Crest or SIM LIAN is earning a higher profit margin at Treasure Crest.

I would suggest that potential buyers of Treasure Crest go take a look at Wandervale too and compare whether they are getting their money's worth before signing on the dot.

Urge buyers to see the layout n size of each room
Saw my friends unit their rooms esp 2 rooms

Wandervale needed to be priced cheaply to undercut Sol Acres.

Treasure Crest just needs to be cheaper than BW and Vales by about $30-40 psf and they would have won the price war.

But I think some PCs are now transacting at $900+ psf in the D19 area. There's even a 3+1 BR unit from The Florida selling at $748psf only! So the price difference now between PC and EC is very narrow. ECs should have room to lower prices more.

BTW, can I do a short poll? Between Punggol, Sengkang, Choa Chu Kang, Yishun and Sembawang, can you guys list down these locations in the order of your preference? Just wanna get a feel of what others think about location.

Mine is: -
1. Sengkang
2. Punggol
3. Yishun
4. Sembawang
5. Choa Chu Kang

just for the survey only.

i can only accept Yishun
others, i really don't want to move there.(if got choice)

yeoster - survey on this is not gonna be useful to you because people choose their house for different reasons. There are those who buy for own stay or for investment. Here are some reasons :
1) Promixity to work area
2) Proximity to childcare arrangements
3) Proximity to good schools
4) Proximity to transport options
5) Like a certain area because they grow up there
6) Future resale value
7) Rental value and potential
8) Proximity to amenities

The list goes on and on .... the important thing is that you must know what you want and choose your house based on that. No need to ask everybody else what area they like because their needs are different from yours.

Would love to hear why people choose what they choose, in fact. Not basing my purchase decisions on others' opinions. For me personally, all those areas listed are not good for me because I grew up in the south and am currently staying in Bishan, but since govt only release ECs in such far away places, I can only pick the most acceptable one.

Once upon a time, was an EC called Bishan Loft.

The End.


EC should be like that... sparingly disburse across the country.

i think HDB ****ed up one.
happy happy... 3rooom, 4I, 4A, EA, EM jumbo
EC, DBSS BTO, 3gen

all these terms just created for fun one lo....

heng last time people smart, assigned something called "the units of measurement of a house in square metres / square feet"

I grew up and still stay in Toa Payoh, so I can feel your pain...
How about the upcoming EC in Hougang opposite Rosyth school? Think it will be launched sometime next year or year after, if you don't mind waiting. It's will probably be the most centrally located EC launched in recent years.

Anyway I took SK also, for the same reason that it is the least ulu of the ulus. IMO at least.

Help you complete the story.

Once upon a time, was an EC called Bishan Loft.
Upon reaching the 10 year mark, owners of Bishan Loft started selling their units for 300% of the purchase price, made a killing and took their handsome profit to the bank.

The End.

rush to launch then keep pushing back the launch.
very inauspicious... somemore July coming.
hmmm... price also not good.

now developer's are tight. don't know whether they will cut corner not.
definitely won't take the bait unless it is below 700psf.

somemore people keep talking about BW and Vales are 50%.
essentially I think all stayers of sengkang are absorbed.
So where are the buyers?

I rather wait for TC to give discount. definitely not going to support their e-app process.

the EC near Rosyth school definitely is a top consideration for me. very rare... location better.

That ec is oni good for ppl who drives or they are sure that their kids can enter Rosyth or Sinming primary. Everywhere u go u need to take bus to switch to train.

The cost of the land is already 380psf. Expect a selling price of min 800psf. Fyi, workmanship of Hoi Hup sucks. My current place done by them.

Do check the plots adjacent to it as well, as they may not be to your liking. Also include the accessibility factor by public transport.

thanks for the tips

anyone tested the noise from expressway? if buy, which stack?

i think i may check out blk 287A to test the noise level first.

Which EC are u referring to?
If treasure crest it's actually very far from express way. Unlikely u will be affected by the TPE noise.
As for the block to block distance, it's fantastic at 36m which I saw was drawn on one of the site plan.
The unit of got at bellewaters is only 26m away from opp block.

Are you agent? You seem to know of a lot on BW and TC. Thanks for sharing the distance, I was trying to search for it.
