SimonTan 2nd Gear July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 Many buyers also tua kana say can pay $100k COV to smoke the agent. Just need one silly buyer to believe the agent and potential buyer and outbid the tuakang buyer. $100k COV is silly... I rather spent it on a nice car....and stay in a cheaper place. Or get a nice motorcycle to ride to nearby MRT station everyday. Is the view so good? How many of us stare at the view of our house often? Can always take the lift to the top most floor and see the nice view while smoking a ciggie. Save the $100k to buy daviddoff or Cartier ciggie!!

Celicar Turbocharged July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 I think they should go 1 step further and force those agents to state clearly which of the flats on their leaflets have they sold and which are printed to tua kang. The common gimmick is to print the highest transacted prices but what on earth have those deals got to do with the agent who is doing the marketing, nobody knows, but they would certainly like you to think they can fetch you the same high price or even higher price. At its most innocent, that is mischief. At its worst, it is wrong representation, even criminal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonTan 2nd Gear July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 Precisely....I really puzzled why people value HDB ner MRT so much? Are they old people who whole day stay in home...staring at the high view and cool breeze? Or the nearby MRT because they go out ten times per day and find the convenience so worth the $100k COV? I guess some people just have the money and like to make themselve feel good and comfortable. I know these people have their special reason....but from outsider point of view...it seems so silly. kns if i have cash of 100k for COV, might as well buy condo, buy hdb for fcuk?! the agents are trying too hard to try to push up the market Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acieed 1st Gear July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 (edited) +1. A classic example of misinformation in our SG agents ... a few years ago, an agent who got his wife to buy from his client at a deflated price, convincing him that the market is really sh*t, no buyers. Then she in turn, sell it to another ready buyer at an inflated price. This is only one case that was exposed. Of course, in the spirit of free market, someone can argue you have a willing buyer and a willing seller. I wonder if there is anyone in MND auditing and scrutinizing these inflated/deflated deals. I think they should go 1 step further and force those agents to state clearly which of the flats on their leaflets have they sold and which are printed to tua kang.

SimonTan 2nd Gear July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 How come a nicely done up car seldom command higher COV. Car buyer will say not interested in the nicely done up mod, and only pay the fair car price. But when it comes to housing.....renovation can command good COV. Funny human.....
