Jj5599 1st Gear August 16, 2011 Share August 16, 2011 i am actually interested in the Peak@Balmeg. its on a hill (though just a small hill), FH and just beside Haw Par Villa mrt. very spacious.....but alas...too expensive dont know if i should take the plunge and buy it...in hope that it will only appreciate There is no such thing as a good time to buy. If you can hold, then it is the good time to buy. I take it that you are buying subsale? Buying for investment? And what is your budget? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jj5599 1st Gear August 16, 2011 Share August 16, 2011 Just curious, anyone knows which condos that are Freehold and also situated near a mrt? Let say less than 1 km. I think these condos will not depreciate even in bad economic time? Also, don't worry too much about freehold vs leasehold. Leasehold is good enough for 3 generations...

Prime area , near future mrt. Even without the mrt, it pretty convenient. Within 1 km of MSG and Pei Wah .. seriously no way price is going to drop.

FH usually are not so near MRT, unless its a D09/10/11. Near MRT are usually LH..... unless ur pockets are deeper u might hv to give up one of ur criteria Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old-driver 5th Gear August 16, 2011 Share August 16, 2011 hw about FH? does it also depreciate after 30 years? It might if location is not good but it is not so volatile when times are bad Again there is no right or wrong depending on what you are looking for and what you can afford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
