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.

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

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

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

Cheapo dev tried to lowball him. 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.

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 🙂

Households urged by MAS to stay prudent when taking up debt or buying property

Feel sorry for the old man who owns the terrace house.  The govt shouldnt allow this.

No need to feel sorry - he still can sell it for redevelopment for lots of profits.

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....

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.

15 terraces for 93 million... each owner gets a pretty nice pile..

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... 

 

How often do you see such a en bloc of landed homes? 9999 years 😉

The CCR and RCR are more severely affected.  OCR is only slightly so far...

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."
