therock Supersonic July 2, 2018 Share July 2, 2018 It depends on the condo, the number of lots available and the policy of the MSCT. New condos often do not even have 1 to 1 lots to unit ratios.. Quick question on carpark at condos. I see that most projects, at least have a few hundreds 1 or 2 bedders. Any idea if a household with 2 cars can easily park 2 cars without paying extra for the second car? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if a household with 2 cars can easily park 2 cars without paying extra for the second car?New condo very unlikely unless it’s very near MRT and very few drive. But those very near also have less carpark lots. Varies from condo to condo but older ones have a better chance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic July 2, 2018 Share July 2, 2018 There was an interesting talk show this am on News 938, Mr Ku spoke about the idea of more rentals, and the fact that HDB is a 99 lease, not an ownership. However the government still like the word ownership for obvious political reasons.. Fudging the terms helps them delay the inevitable, unless they find some money to find an alternate solution to taking back the flats when the lease ends.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercs Hypersonic July 2, 2018 Share July 2, 2018 Nah, don't like big balconies Haha, me no like too ... but not cos of big balcony, with the lower psf kinda offset part of the cost. But ... Too many units/main target upgraders/family orientated = too many residents/children/cars. Facilities overcrowded/pool noisy/ morning evening peak jam moving in/out, back late hard to find parking/have to park further away ... just to sound out a few 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Target segment mainly upgraders, but so many small units, got so many investors for that area? In today's market, where to find that kind of psf range for new launch? So sure can sell, at least to move few hundred units at initial launch. If at that psf/quantum range still can't sell, developer better fire the marketing team and engage a new agency. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really worried for our next generation, we are really getting to HK style of housing... ... use the bomb shelter to hang articles of clothing I wonder why the bomb shelter is still required. I supposed its a sacred cow that cannot be slaughtered. I don't think we will reach the stage of Microbox as yet. Mostly still at the Shoebox stage. But we should be relooking at a common HS/bomb shelter instead of sticking to the requirements if that somehow is tie into our national defence.

Sdf4786k Twincharged July 3, 2018 Share July 3, 2018 (edited) All these for one to say "I stay condo". Really look good feel good meh? not really. I suspect we can easily spot someone with inferiority complex if he really buys a shoebox to stay if he just say I stay in condo. The question nowadays is , " 1000 sqft condo ? must have cost you a huge sum of money" SOme buy for investment. Even I try to workout the space for a 700sqft, it seems hopelessly unlivable. Let alone a 4xx sqft condo. Granted that its more for a single to stay. In HK, its already hit the peak and lifestyle there is to stay out as late as possible in order to only come home to sleep. Thats why no one goes off from the office till 9pm. Than have dinner and go back to a pigeon coup to sleep. Edited July 3, 2018 by Sdf4786k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdf4786k Twincharged July 3, 2018 Share July 3, 2018 (edited) @mer cs help u post .. Private home prices inch towards new peak after 3.4% jump in Q2Read more at https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/private-home-property-prices-q2-ura-singapore-10490090 While its encouraging to watch people who strike the jackpot for enbloc, I wonder how sustainable is the high prices for the next leap forward. SINGAPORE: Private home prices rose to its highest point in four years in the April to June quarter as transactions and new launches increased and liquidity from en bloc sales flowed into the market, with analysts predicting that prices could recover to 2013 peak levels soon. The price index for private residential property rose by 3.4 per cent to 149 points in the second quarter, extending a 3.9 per cent increase in the previous quarter, according to flash estimates released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Monday (Jul 2). This represents the fourth consecutive quarter of increase. The price index is also at its highest level since the second quarter of 2014, when the index was at 149.7 points. With more buyers entering the market and current home values about 3.6 per cent down from the 154.6-point peak in the third quarter of 2013, prices could soon reach another high. "The sentiment is inching us towards another peak," said Ms Christine Li, senior director of research at Cushman & Wakefield Singapore. "Singapore property prices are likely to recover to the 2013 peak levels in one or two quarters," she added Edited July 3, 2018 by Sdf4786k 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
