Ha... Know what - I went this evening after work to view the envt. Quite like it! Very exclusive i thought - a block with only 8 units! 4 units on ground floor and 4 units on 3rd level. I think it's a corner unit. Hope that my hubby will like it! Ha... My criteria 1. As long as I have a place of my own! 2. West - near my mother's place and our office 3. Quiet 4. Big area size 5. As run-down a possible - will overhaul the place

Ha.. I will be meeting him tomorrow.

Tks for the advice! mmh ... ya ... I have 2 boys ... Will still view it to get a feel on walk-up EM. Hee

Ha... Though he wasn't the first agent we have met, when my sis's boss recommended him to us - we somehow stick to him since then. He is super committed - like a family than an agent. So when will u be moving in?

Good for you! Edmund is helping me now! That's a very good buy! We have seen the unit too - didn't get it cos we need to find a south facing door

Hi lukecas, AT brought me to a #06- unit but did not alert me to the #14- unit. I am engaging another agent to help. Are you the one who got the #04 unit @ 201? Cos I didn't see anything in the market recently. Happy for you!

Hi Decruz, Thanks! Manage to shortlist one from propertyguru - sunset way Any comments on a walk-up EM? Other than the inavailability of lifts - what else?

Thanks all! Will jia u jia u jia u!

Hi all, I am still looking around . . . . Not much new listings in the area which I am interested. Wonder how much longer do I have to wait? Btw, can viewing be done during the 7th lunar month?

Thanks for all your advices! Definitely not taking up the unit, so dun worry! Hi doodbug, Any photos to show?

Though hv given up on the unit - its condition is still ok except for the 2nd floor toilet leakage. I have not been affected by the condition as we will definitely be doing a complete overhaul.

Ya .. my agent has advised us it's not a good deal at all, so can forget about it. He is currently helping one of his clients in 206 to find a place. At least there is still hope for me!

Heard from my agent that this top floor unit has been put up for sale since last yr. Seller's conditions pretty "difficult" to meet. Apparently, they are unwilling to commit on how much they want now. 1. They have yet to find a place - won't move out until they find one 2. cov highly dependable on the unit they are getting - cos they hv no free cash on hand 3. buyer has to bear the seller' commission too. Btw, what's the norm when it comes to agent's commission? First time buyer - greatly appreciated some advice. Tks in advance!

Hi doodbug, So happy! There is one unit up for sale today. Just went to view it - Top floor - Valuation at 590K - owner asking very high cash! 50K! Valuation at 6th floor only at 570K - 20K difference. Hope everything "shun shun" in the price negotiation process. Keep my fingers crossed . . . If not, I will just have to wait.

Recently, there is also an unit at 201 for sale at low floor - owner selling below valuation at 565K . Main door facing not suitable for us, so it left us with only one block - 206 to find that ideal home - south facing. Heard it can be quite noisy staying near the fire station - siren will be on whenever there is an activation.

Hi doodbug, If I remember correctly, there is this 2nd unit on 2nd level with balcony facing the field - white theme - pretty nice view from the car park. You may want to take a look when you are there again.

I remember seeing some EM with full height windows at their balcony. If I remember correctly, it's along PIE bet Eunos to Kallang. Well, with 2 boys at home, definitely need to install grilles. How to achieve that modern and romantic feel with grilles?

Although we are still in the midst of finding a home, we already have some ideas in mind. One of them is to have the MBR downstairs with balcony which we both like the idea, however, putting the 2 boys upstairs seems weird. Well, just an idea we have.

Indeed, it's a lesson learnt. I felt so guilty. The stairs railing we have at home did not allow us to install those off-the shelf gates. With another 2 babies n a toddler at home, yes - we have installed proper gates at all levels now.

aly Hi I dun think that listing is real - agent posted it in order to catch potential buyers. Have called - agent is unable to provide a lot of details - not even willing to arrange for viewing. Instead, proposed to me to view another unit which I have actually seen - another blk in clement which is not suitable for our facing in FS terms.

Hi Angel81, We are currently staying with in-laws in a pte property for 4 yrs liao. It's time to move on and enjoy our own privacy.

Hi, Pls do ensure that there is safety gates installed. My boy has actually toppled down the stairs in his walker last month. Pls do not take any chance by thinking the door stopper is enough. Didn't expect the door to come loose and off he went out to the common corridor. I wasn't in time to catch hold of him and saw the falling process. LUCKILY, he did not suffer any serious injuries, just bruises on an eye. It's the walker that is seriously "injured" - broken. Better be safe than sorry.

Yes! Will jia u! Have kinda fix our search at Clementi Ave 6 right from the start, though hv been to Dakota Cres & Jurong East (Near IMM). Yesterday, there was an ad on EM at Teban Gardens. Went last night to get a feel of the envt, but still end up dropping by Clementi Ave 6. Wish me luck!

Thanks! Can't wait for that moment to come!

Hi all, I am new here! Can't believe that I stayed up to finish reading this thread till 3am. Got really excited when I saw doodbug cos I am really interested in EM at Clementi Ave 6! I was lucky to be able to view one unit at Blk 206 when I first started house search early this month, mid floor - PRC owner asking 570K +20K. While I am able to compromise with the pricing, the agent informed that owner has done a re-financing and decided not to sell unless I am willing to pay for the penalty that owner will incurred upon selling - which is about an additional of 7K. Well, I believe I should not be spending the $$ on a decision of a uncertain seller - thus giving that unit a miss this time. I guess it's not meant to be mine. So, I am currently waiting for the next available unit there "patiently".
