Sdf4786k Twincharged September 7, 2019 Share September 7, 2019 10 hours ago, Mercs said: Its all about affordability, with PSF on the up, over the years developers have been shrinking unit sizes to remain within buyer sweet spot. Made worse with CMs- TDSR/LTV/ABSD, that buyers today have to content with, further reducing buyer unit size affordability. Thats also why we have ahgong recent intervention on min unit size requirements. 😉 From affordable point of view I agree but that’s like saying I need a 7 seater for my family but I can afford a Korean n probably should be okay to squeeze 6 person with two small kids.. i ratger go with practical aspect and Apple for Apple consideration. Else the shoe box appt does make good sense for s family of 6 if you squeeze it as the home is only use for sleeping... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, if need to fit family of 6, better to get a MPV than a 2 seater sportscar 😉 lol 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt so, as the % will be low to be any significant, not many tenants wanna move every few months. One reason is displaced enbloc sellers, either waiting brand new BUC/ enbloc funds/ transaction completion/ renovations etc. Local movement by owners and tenants in residential projects that were sold successfully through collective sales reportedly continue to contribute a substantial portion of leasing demand, 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
