Zze121 3rd Gear September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 Recent years almost all new launch condos and ECs units do not come with utilites and proper yard area, this will make HDB flat looks more practical in some ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyap Clutched September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 step one is to remove cov from the valuation..............at present they do valuation base on avg last done prices................which includes the valuation plus COV............and as COV increases..............the next valuation automatic increases.............an ppl ask for more COV............and the next valuation goes up again.......... and since resales prices keep going up..............new flats will cost more eventually............. spot on!

Moredhel 2nd Gear September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 For someone to make money, another must lose money. The key question is, how much taxes, commissions and duties can the incumbent make out of it, and how to ensure this constant sapping of monies? The answer is that the perceived value of the property must be ever increasing, with new additions making a controlled healthy profit margin of an est. 2000%, with around 200% going to the developer. While opening the floodgates to foreign funds, the term on every other economist lips is the contradictory term; 'controlled inflation', which caused the CPI to maintain a 'healthy' 4.1-5.1% anually for the past 6 years, good for the govt coffers, political strength and currency strength, at the expense of working class citizens. I looked with pity at the HK government, whom is willing to bite the bullet and address the key concern of the uncontrolled influx of foreign funds leading to massive inflation across the board. The solution provided is a choiceless nip in the bud and the direct answer small land scarce countries require, at the government's expense. For another country with a similar economy however, putting a stop to the ponzi-like scheme generating unsustainably huge returns from foreign funds at the expense of her citizens would be unthinkable. All in all, the ones who would lose the most would be the next generation. When a 5 room flat hits 2 million per unit, guess what portion of that price would be going back into government coffers. With the high rate of dependency on the ponzi-like scheme to sustain a roof over their heads, both financial & political power increases. I appluad the great mind that put such a scheme into place such that even the world's 2nd largest economy wants to follow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockngbrd Supersonic September 7, 2012 Author Share September 7, 2012 60ye leasehold URA puts up housing plot with 60-yr lease URA said the 1.02-ha residential site in Jurong Jurong Kechil will have a maximum GFA of 153,267.17 sq ft and can be developed into a condominium, flats or retirement housing. Developers have options for a 30, 45 or 60-year-lease period for the plot, URA said. The development conditions for the site cap the maximum number of units at 203 units and can be built up to part five storeys and part eight storeys. Commenting on the residential plot, Jones Lang LaSalle's national director of research Ong Teck Hui said: "The site is a popular suburban housing area supported by ample amenities and public transportation, so there should be good interest in this site." The developer's trigger price for the residential land parcel which was made available through the Reserve List system in November 2006 was $24 million or $156.36 psf ppr for a 60-year lease term. "As URA offers three options of different land tenures, the price of the land will be relatively cheaper as compared to the normal 99-year-leasehold land parcels from Government Land Sale Programme," said Nicholas Mak, SLP International's head of research. He expects the tender to attract about five to 10 bids and added that most bidders are likely to select to bid for the 60-year land tenure because it will be more attractive to homebuyers and the longer land tenure will be easier for the homebuyer to obtain a mortgage. Lee Sze Teck, senior manager of Dennis Wee Group (DWG), is looking at a top bid of between $200 and $250 psf ppr, an estimated breakeven cost between $450 and $500 psf, and an estimated sale price of between $550 and $600 psf. "This is relatively affordable compared to freehold developments in the area which are going for around $1,000 psf," Mr Lee said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
