Ingenius Turbocharged September 22, 2011 Share September 22, 2011 (edited) Anybody applying ? Which area? Just want to check what is the buying sentiment on the ground. Or is it better to buy resale given the rather high price of the new balance flat, plus the resale levy. The attraction is of cos the short waiting time and also is available in mature estate.

Curahee 1st Gear September 23, 2011 Share September 23, 2011 :o 420 not allocated during the bukit merah BTO previously, thats a lot, wonder why no one apply there. Is it becoz now relaunch can earn some more? I remember last time i ballot for clementi new flat, gg at 300 plus k, after half a yr they relaunch the leftover again, gg at 400 plus k. Damn scary the price increase. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
