Disposed Property Recently Can Buy New Bto?

[cloud210 0]

first timer here, considering to downgrade from condo. I understand there is a 30month wait, but can I apply a new BTO/DBSS/EC first after selling away the condo since I have to wait a few years before the BTO/DBSS/EC will be ready to move in? or i have to wait 30months then apply BTO/DBSS/EC which will be completed only in another few years?

thanks in advanced

all the BTOs are in lousy location like punggol, tampines, jurong west

better to buy near town area

location is most important in property purchase

Bro or sister?

Don't like that le, I know you love and stay in CCR. Noticed u have "condemned" many locations in RCR & OCR.

still it is oversubscribe at least 5x i think. but it is an indication of where the crowd is going and it is better to avoid it. but i think most ppl buy for a roof over their head only

Hi, even though i stay in tg pagar, can't really agree tampines/punggol is a lousy location!

not condemning RCR or OCR

just doing a comparison

if a RCR or OCR cost more than a CCR , or for that matter, cost the same, which location do you think a rationale buyer will choose

Location is just one of the many factors which dictate its value.

Those of short-term accomodation would prefer to stay in CCR, in a country, for convenience. Local prefer to mix with local.

Have you experienced CCR like dead town during holidays? Like super market during busy time. People passing by each other without looking at each others.

Obviously, I prefer to stay in a "human-like" environment that is why I have been staying in the east for the past 47 years.

are you willing to one-to-one swap your tg pagar unit for a same size unit at punggol or tampines at $0?

if you are not willing to do such a trade, ask yourself why

Yes and No. If I work in around Tampines and my 'logistics support' (families) are in Tampines, it makes more sense to buy in Tampines than Tg Pg. But not direct trade for $0 because the psf I paid for in Tg Pg is likely higher than in Tampines.

Outskirt willl be hit in early 2013, I expect. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=38353&view=findpost&p=648691

"From its trough in 2Q2009, the price index for non-landed residential properties in the Core Central Region (CCR) increased 42 per cent to 204 points from 144 points. The same index for Outside Central Region (OCR) climbed more rapidly, up 54 per cent to 185 points from 120 points."

"In terms of the number of homes being constructed, the proportion of units in the more luxurious locations inside CCR will decline from 33 per cent in 2013 to 26 per cent in 2015."

"This means the proportion of units in the outskirts (OCR) and mid-tier locations (RCR) of Singapore will rise from 67 per cent to 74 per cent. Now, the percentage rise may seem mild but in absolute numbers, we can expect 8,686 units to be completed within the OCR and RCR in 2013, 13,014 units in 2014 and 14,510 units in 2015."

"Conversely, with very few residential land sales and en bloc programmes in Districts 9, 10 and 11 since 2009, we can hardly expect significant fresh supply in CCR in 2013 to 2015. A significant number of completions in CCR come from the projects delayed since the previous peak, such as d'Leedon (en bloc), Leedon Residence (en bloc) and South Beach (Government Land Sales)."

because they want your money?

Common sense answer.

[bepgof 20]

not getting it?

Thou u are smart alex to provide more "non common sense" insights into this loan package/market sentiment for this OCR condo which TOP in 2015.

Which bank so "desperate/daring" to provide such package? Reasons behind?

Singapore industrial output plunge 17.5%yoy May.

France prefers Greece's debts/bonds to be delayed.

etc etc.....

wao, didn't log in for few days and the topic becoming a debate?

just a clarification, not to debate,

of course i won't swap tg pagar with tampines at $0. nobody under normal condition would do that since you pay higher $.

what i'm trying to say is, tampines/punggol is not a lousy area since the topic starter asking question regarding BTO. if we are giving advice, try to be sensible.

i mentioned i don't agree with you saying tampines or punggol is a lousy area.

that does not means in term of $$$, value of tampines = value of tg pagar. ps be mindful. in reality, $ is not alway the deciding factor.

i do agree with you in term of buying property for investment, location is the most important factor. but, if you buy to stay, then location is just one of the factor. don't you agree? do other forumers agree?
