Mkl22 Twincharged November 30, 2020 Share November 30, 2020 Just now, therock said: Yep, holding ten years for a solid profit is nothing.. it won't prevent the lottery effect at all. It just pushes it down the line... hold 20years better. if need to sell earlier then sell back to HDB. ↡ Advertisement 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic November 30, 2020 Share November 30, 2020 as long as HDB = asset enhancement for flipping there is no end how to define “prime location” that demand holding 10-20 years? now punggol resale already reaching $800k so all cheong punggol because can flip within 5 years then also declare punggol as prime location prime location in CCR can be separated by 1 road and 1 side hold 5 years another side hold 20 years? another type of problem created for people to exploit 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

therock Supersonic November 30, 2020 Author Share November 30, 2020 50 year lease Resale limited to HDB only rental homes only or simply use it for condos and avoid this equality issue and make some money which can be used to reduce the deficit and help poor people instead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic November 30, 2020 Author Share November 30, 2020 Just drove past the Noma site recently and I have mixed feelings about it.. i think the condo has a decent price but the odd shape isn’t good. And the value of that terrace home will now plummet... it will be really dark claustrophobic and may even experience more litter... no one will want to buy it unless the price is really low.. lose lose situation https://www.99.co/blog/singapore/owners-of-geylang-terraces-refuse-to-sell-to-condo-developer-becomes-up-in-real-life/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What for sell to them? I wouldn't cry for him yet as his house can build up to 8 stories. Worse comes to worse, sell to another developer let him them build up to 8 stories side by side with the other condo lol. Cons will be wasted space for lift/staircase and no facilities/carpark. It's within walking distance to datoka mrt so think can survive w/o carpark. Speaking of carparks, I went to noma condo website and it says TBA for the number of carpark lots. I doubt each owner will get 1 carpark lot so not much difference there. Edited December 1, 2020 by ToyotaShuttle 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvobrick Supersonic December 1, 2020 Share December 1, 2020 Each terrace can rebuild to 5/8 storey with roof top garden and pool. Huat ah! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic December 1, 2020 Author Share December 1, 2020 I wonder if the developer had to pay extra to allow eight floors? if so the cost of buying this tiny plot plus the additional charges will make it hard to redevelop i suppose Noma could buy it later and add something there.. maybe a restaurant called Noma 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strange thing I find is, there is no setback requirements (e.g. 1.5m) for the new buildings from the common boundary! Just a 8 storey high solid wall right up to the boundary line....

Easy to cover mortgage, leh..... 😅 Yes fully covered with enquiries coming in way after rented out. The rest of the properties just renew and renew. Maybe next round renew then see how it goes. Possibly the non performing sectors and sections is not made up by my target area and tenants. If it turns that bad, I will notify you all to help me lament.

But the land isn't big, and is a bit of an "L" shape... boutique condo? At least there's no hold out by one seller...

Release of 3rd Quarter 2020 real estate statistics "Vacancy rates of completed private residential properties as at the end of 3rd Quarter 2020 in CCR, RCR and OCR were 9.2%, 7.4% and 4.2% respectively, compared with the 7.5%, 6.1% and 4.0% in the previous quarter." https://www.ura.gov.sg/Corporate/Media-Room/Media-Releases/pr20-29#:~:text=Stock and Vacancy&text=Vacancy rates of completed private,see Annex E-4).
