What do you guys think of tanjong rhu? What is the average rental over there? What is the yield like? Any idea? I am thinking of purchasing, is it a good idea?

unemployed man, Don't know really much about that area but the atmosphere seems more relaxed/laid-back compared to city living. My agent said many people from the east coast rarely go to the city for leisure/recreational/shopping/dining purposes. Hope your friend can share his experience. Thanks! E...

Hello pinoy, bedok reservoir has a increasing foreign population because of the nice enviornments and beautiful views of the lake. My pakistani friend bought a unit there and is asking me to go over as well.

What do you know of that area?

Any good choices in pasir ris or tampanies areas?

Why is everyone suggesting the Holland Village, Bukit Timah areas? These are the expensive areas not because of the ambience but simply because of the expatriate enclaves that were artificially created around the areas. I do not see the need for expatriates to stay around their fellow countrymen gi...

are there any studio type condo's in singapore? the broom closet type. im really looking for a cheap condo to buy. lets say the price is 550k. what would the initial cash out be? and what would be my avg monthly mortgage payments? if lets say its a 30 year loan? what are the terms here in singapore...

So, what you are saying is do not buy luxury condos? Is that your point?

I went to take a look at this project called Savahna at simei, looks good but too faraway. Prices not cheap either. Looks like bedok reservoir has more food places and a nice water front. Heard that theres gonna be a new MRT line there as well. Thing is aquarius is a bit old looking, have any of you...

Anyone has any advise other than bedok reservoir in the east side that you can still get condos below $700psf? I am looking around the east, much appreciate it.

I don't know how you guys look for a condo, but for me, i would like to buy to be able to stay, to rent and finally to resell. My pakistani friend that got a unit at the aquarius in bedok res seems very pleased. He was telling me that the new launch beside called waterfront was selling the similar t...

Yes, but the problem with this place is the location. Westwood area. Where today's papers reported that the piece of land beside Floravale had only 2 bids from developers and the highest price was $78psf. So nobody was awarded the land. After this piece of news, i think you guys should really recons...

You guys are quite negative but conservative. At least you wouldn't lose any money in this market. For me, i am hunting around for bargains cause i wouldn't want to start fighting for good buys when the sky clears. I understand the basis of property that what goes up must come down. Problem is, i wi...

For the east side, been looking around the bedok area, the prices of the condominiums around the reservoir are still quite ok. My pakistani friend recently bought a place at the aquarius for 800K for a resonably large 3-bed. He told me it has a good view of the reservoir and because of the new proje...

Good buys within the completed condos around.

Been looking around for the perfect buy since Dec 07, even with uncertainty in the US of A the prices in singapore are still not really going down. Quite certain right now that if we still wait till the dusts settle, the bull will start rolling again. Heard that there are still cherries in the Older...
