183psf is almost insane. 
don’t even think HDB got this kind of price for resale. 

now that’s a real deal. 

Yeah, I thought print error when first saw it 😛

Seller only held 15 years sold 4.5x buy price, very savvy investor when most are only going for new launches.

'Go resale for better value'? :D

Integrated development and Near future transport hub. a lot of hype

2200pfs is considered cheap, so future pricing there should be >2500pfs

prices up up up. can be quite worrying though at this rate during crisis pandemic. imagine what will happen during recovery

Agree, again if not for enbloc where to find FH so near mrt? and with future transport hub, definite upside potential.

As mentioned prior, many years CM big warchest/enbloc milllionaires/ billion$, with CMs/current high prices, the property market have evolved as such that mostly are either buying for own stay (ABSD) and only for the more well to do rich with ample $ to invest/park funds (capitial appreciation). So highly doubt it's those adversely affected by the pandemic that's buying, no worries 😛

Then we look at other forms of simple investment alternatives FD/ stocks/ bonds etc, with stocks being one of the worst performer, many vested long still licking wounds from deep red portfolios. So property remain one safe stable yet offer better returns long term investment option.

As quoted from the linq article - Besides the pricing and the locational attributes of The Linq, the strong sales is also proof that “Singaporeans’ love for real estate overrides that of other investments”. 

Even without foreigner purchase, SG property market local self sustain, further proof of resilience. CM trump card as mentioned prior, hard to see any significant future price drop, imagine what will happen during recovery if all CMs removed? 😉

I think this is going to trigger some people here who would disagree strongly with this statement. 

The linq isnt even the only one enjoying very healthy figures.

Developer paid a premium (20.4%) above reserve, enbloc owners huat getting double the market rate - 'SG property, always ideal to stay vested'

With current unsold inventory running low, may see next round enbloc fever in the coming years. (post covid)

https://www.straitstimes.com/business/property/freehold-tulip-garden-sold-en-bloc-for-907m

(The $906.9 million price is 20.4 per cent higher than the reserve of $753 million submitted by owners of the 316,708 sq ft estate)

https://www.todayonline.com/tulip-garden-sold-s9069-million-second-largest-en-bloc-deal-year

(owners of a 1,701 square feet Tulip Garden unit will reap about S$4.3 million from the sale, a unit of the same size in the estate sold for about S$2.1 million only a year ago)

 

"so maybe relatively "cheap" - Agree, based on current new launch pricing trend and for this project being (FH). Look at property prices past 10 years, those still waiting/ sideline - 'any cheaper to buy today?'

Property prices remain resilient even with current covid/recession/job losses/economy with continue price uptrend. CM trump card still in effect, wait another 10 years also won't see any significant price drop. 😛

But for me as always - 'go resale for better value' 😉

Agree, other than the Linq, another recent new launch Penrose also saw remarkable sales with very healthy figures, can sense the strong pick up in sales momentum after showflats start to reopen and not just current new launches, across the board existing new launch as well as resales also seeing good take up. Seems like more are investing/parking funds into property during this pandemic???

Next to watch ... the Landmark 😉 make a guess how many sold first weekend launch :D
