Estrangable 5th Gear June 8, 2012 Share June 8, 2012 to have a good idea on how small these shoebox houses are, i suggest one to go to IKEA tampines and see the conceptual design and a general feel. It's really pathetic. It's abt the same size as a hotel 81 room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemundo Supercharged June 8, 2012 Share June 8, 2012 http://www.ura.gov.sg/realEstateWeb/realEs...nController.jpf this one is sales data. are you talking about rental or sales data. anyway, even if you are referring to sales, the sizes are even smaller than i thought, 431 sq ft. 431 sq ft can never fetch you $1800 in rent la.

Damienic 5th Gear June 8, 2012 Share June 8, 2012 this reminds me of the joke: MacDonalds spends millions of dollars employing a team of experts to do market research/ real estate studies on where are the best locations and puts their outlets there. KFC spends nothing. They juz open a store wherever Macs does. haha this quite funny... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic June 8, 2012 Share June 8, 2012 Go valley point might as well go great world city. Anyway, that part is the "arse end" of river valley. So messy and illegal parking everywhere... Might as well live in Chinatown. Yeah but not many people know that. People think River Valley is the same throughout.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really pathetic. It's abt the same size as a hotel 81 room. I become claustrophobic when i imagine living in one of these..... not joking.... thats why i didnt buy robertson Edge 3 yrs ago Edited June 8, 2012 by Throttle2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp4wn Turbocharged June 8, 2012 Share June 8, 2012 (edited) Dont know where u searched but go "Private Residential Property Transactions with Caveats Lodged " uh ... isnt caveat lodged for property sales? maybe im blur but i cant see what you're trying to show me ... the caveat system is for property sales only ... the highest price *ever* for parc rosewood was $1115psf done 10th april 2012 ... if you're talking about rental .. how are you using the caveat system? >< FYI: if you want to check rental data .. its over here: http://www.ura.gov.sg/propertyinfo/# (select the rental tab). no results for parc rosewood anyway.

Sp4wn Turbocharged June 8, 2012 Share June 8, 2012 Yes there is, go check URA for Parc Rosewood. $1,800, yes achievable of cos no one can promise you. no. you were talking about rental dude. not sales. you pointed us to towards the system to check the ppsf for sales, but you *were* talking about $1800 for rental i believe. i think even acemundo understood the same as me ...

Sp4wn Turbocharged June 8, 2012 Share June 8, 2012 I saw some neighbouring project condo room rental is asking $1800 OK - now i understand. asking & closing is 2 very different stories man. i have almost never closed at asking before. no one in SG closes at asking .. thats why agents always advertise higher than buyer/owner's expectation ...

Acemundo Supercharged June 8, 2012 Share June 8, 2012 I saw some neighbouring project condo room rental is asking $1800 i told you already. neigbouring ones asking for $1800 is for 900 -1000 sq ft. this 431 sq ft how to ask for $1800. the size is less than half, if you can get 2/3 the rent ($1200), alrezady considered very lucky already. in reality, you can hardly find tentant for 431 sq ft in woodlands, not even realistic to talk about rent of $1800 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"casablanca". median rent was exactly $3psf. lowest $2.70, highest $3.10. for perspective on returns in that area ... casablanca had an 87sqm unit (936sqft) unit done @ 844 psf. (done 22nd may 2012) based on the median rental, return is 4.2% return. (this estate however, has been around for 10 years, so the rents wont fluctuate as much due to several factors such as how many people using for own use vs investment) Edited June 8, 2012 by Sp4wn ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
