22k COV (thats about 5% of Valuation) for a mid-high level 5 rm flat at admiralty. Isit too high?

Which part of Bishan is ur EM? Which level?

The high COV in Bishan was enough to drive us away to seek other places.

st 22..mid level corner unit with small recess area.

the whole EM hunting was a roller coaster experience for us..from West areas (near my parents) to east (near in laws and future office)..the sky high asking cov from non-prime areas really a turn-off that we wouldn't want to pay that sum of money in these areas.Our offers were rejected few times (we actually offered quite reasonable abv average cov for those areas).

Feeling disappointed and tired of viewing, we then decided to look at Bishan (near hubby's office). Our agent thinks we are mad to look all over Singapore except North & Queenstown.

It's really true..thanks to the media coverage on EM..I have met many sellers who are asking for sky high COV in non prime areas that drove us looking at Bishan instead. Tired of viewing and moreover we just sold our 5rm ..so we decided to look at Bishan and paid a really high cov for the unit we really like.

I didn't realise 3S unit also need to pay so much for COV........

I view ard 3 unit of 2rm flat at commonwealth area n they were asking 20k to 30k cov ard june. I offer 15k they all reject.

Crazy man. In the end i heard 1 of the 2rm flat was sold at 22k cov.

So i think 20k for a 3s is still better then 2rm. Cheapest i found was 10k for 3i n 3s super original condition. But i think for a day n when i call back it was sold within the first day of viewing. REGRET!!

The rest of the viewing for 3rm was all 18k to 30k after tat. So i settle for this 20k cov unit where i like the location n view becos IM really tire to go viewing anymore. LOL

Anyway after the 1mil unit sold at mei ling. My Agent friend told me almost all the seller went koo koo n was asking at crazy high COV. Spill over effect?

Hi Jo'en, great to know that u hav finally decided on a 5 rm. I now recall u looking for an EM before this in HG or Serangoon area..... I believe u have given much thought n made this impt decision.... Wish u well in ur reno

Hahah.. Yes leh.. It's me.. Haaha you've got gd memory neh! We wanted to get hougang ave 10's EM but almost fainted when we saw e listings.. Alot asking like 100-100+k cov n Val I tink is alr 600k.. Few mths baq their price was 580-650k so it jumped too much.. Overall hougang n Ser increased quite alot in juz 4mths when my MOP was up.. Sooooo no choice Had to forgo n buy a smaller place.. Haa..
