Soya Supersonic November 11, 2010 Share November 11, 2010 sellers not blinking as long as interest rates are low n rental mkt steady, sellers can still hang on. once foreign funds start to exit, watch the house of cards fall. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic November 11, 2010 Share November 11, 2010 Its very simple. It just depends on whether you can buy with cash or need to take a loan. If you are buying with 100% cash then you really dun need advice from a forum and with cash, anytime is a good time to buy. The only people that need advice are those taking a loan. If you need a loan then yes its a good time to buy if the banks are willing to give you a loan. In a recession when prices are low, it will be very hard to get a loan unless you have a fantastic credit rating. If you have a fantastic credit rating, you dun need a loan.

Fantastic rating can be in the form of wealth or stable job tio bo? So best is to wait for interest to up, prices to correct and have stable job/wealth to pick up the pieces.

Dymatize 1st Gear November 11, 2010 Share November 11, 2010 Just to illustrate: The Parc - 3 bedder (1216sqf) = $1.28m ($1050 psf) Kovan Residences 3 bedder (1259sqf) = $1.26m ($1000 psf) Of course, cheaper condos are still available in ulu areas like woodlands and CCK. That said, I heard that the new condos pending launch in woodlands and lakeside are going to cost $1000psf onwards. Siao? Is the concourse skyline considered a mass market condo? I really like the location but its so expensive. More so then the examples you quoted above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigershark1976 Turbocharged November 11, 2010 Share November 11, 2010 if you do not need the $$$ urgently, keep it. afterall, with the ultra low interst rate + high rental yield... its one of the best investment at the moment... if you were to see it now, where to put your money?? fixed deposit with less than 1% interest? gold price that is alrd sky high? or share market filled with full of hot monies from US?
