Yes sorry I meant $500 p.week.

True – it is closer to Indonesia…A long time ago CI used to belong to Singapore.

Anyone?

KP,

Lucky I didn’t listen to you when we spoke on the phone! I would have missed out on a good deal!

Hi Lawry73,

Since you are Singaporean I assume you would have some CPF here?

The govt has recently changed the deposit structure from 20% down to 10%. And of this 10% you can use 5% from your CPF and 5% cash.

Unfortunately we bought our condo before this change so we had to fork out $300k instead of $150K as the deposit.

We are PR’s here and…[Read more]

Hi Venno,

Check your private messaages on the left – just sent you one.

Hey guys,

That aerial photo of The Reef is pretty cool.

Looks like prices for stage one have gone up already – now it says on their website – blocks from $174,000. A couple of weeks back it said from $169,000.

Hey Ken,

Did you see the article in yesterday’s business Times?

Sentosa Cove land up 65%. Those who bought their land at 3mill will be laughing – now worth 5mill.

Hi all,

Release 11 goes on sale this saturday.

Price list is out… Glad we got in – in the earlier stages – but prices still reasonable compared to other estates.

Hi Thomasp,

Thanks for your pm.

Anyone else know anything about Xmas Island?

Thanks, Mei

Hi Ken,

You say…

“””I still find it “too risky” for myself, to be able to safely invest into the Singapore property market at this point in time, even though I am presently and seriously contemplating to.”””

???

Where are you contemplating?

Also Rikky, language is not a problem here – nearly everyone speaks English – or ‘Singlish’ as it is…[Read more]

Yeah I saw that release in Two Rocks.

It’s called The Reef – http://www.thereef.net.au

Blocks from $169,000—- looks like we all got a good deal at Capricorn [biggrin]

Hi all,

The average price at Sentosa Cove is not 5 million – that’s for the houses – not for condos. The average price for the condo we bought into on Sentosa is 1.5mil.

The Azure – a new condo opposite the Berth on Sentosa- was launched last week. All sold in a few days. Avg price around 1.8mil.

Alot of foreigners investing in the Sentosa…[Read more]

Hi Chief Wigam,

Districts 9 10 and 11 are in Orchard, Tanglin
Holland and River Valley. Very expensive areas.

Good idea investing your rental allowance into property.

I think condo’s around the 2 future casinos will do well. The Carribean/ The Berth/ The Sail at Marina Bay.

We bought into The Berth.

Websites to look at are: http://www.8links.com…[Read more]

Hi Guys,

Thanks Ausprop and KP for your help.

Mei

KP,

Do you really need 2 blocks!!![biggrin]
Give me my corner one back – joke…

Tried to pm you but can’t.

Mei

Hey KP

Spoke to Mike – apparently stage 6 released this weekend. Mike said he would email me the price list. Will see what is on offer.

Mei

Hi Aly/Marisa,

Did you guys end up getting a block?

Mei

No he doesn’t encourage camping!!!

But if there are campers – he takes care of them.

Marisa, – Good luck in persuading your husband.
Let us know how you go.

Mei

Group buying – ill be into that!!!! [biggrin]

I’m absolutely fuming…. 6 weeks ago – I flew down to perth to buy at the village at wellard.

We were also looking for another block. Took marisa’s advice and went to look at S beach.
Had 2 contracts drawn up for a corner block $138k and lot 19 – $145k…. by the time I got back to Singapore – spoke…[Read more]

Ausprop,

May be worth camping – if prices are going to go up like this?

Wayne (the real estate rep) really looks after the campers. He gets flood lights – portable toilets and on the morning of the release there is a bbq breakfast.

Mei

ps: still thinking about those elevated blocks at singleton – there are 2 left….!!!!
