life here in thailand is so boring....im dying trying to keep myself awake..HELP...enjoy yourself while you can ..... your time in servitude should be ending...

Fatum SG

No leh we're like one of the more expensive city in the world

And I just found out that a 4 room flat in Simei .... the build and design one is over 400k!!!

And the location isn't even good!!! It's like in an ulu corner of Simei and buying from the gabrament it's over 400k liao!!!

A 4 room flat close to the MRT also slightly over 400k. KNS

built to order ones are naturally more expensive lah .......

it's still possible to find below valuation flats nowadays .....

but yeah, the prices for some places are crazy ... I have a listing for one of those 25 stories point blocks at marine parade, facing the sea, the last transacted price for a sea view like that ? 700k ......

with that sort of money, I can still get a suburban condo somewhere, and still have money left over to totally renovate the place ....

elindra SG

I dunno ...I imagine it wouldn't be much fun being poked by a cocktail sausage right ? ....

I suspect it may also be because they know to prey on the meatier ones ..... most local men don't have a preference for ghetto booties and thunder thighs, african men seem to go crazy over those .... such ladies may not have a ready defensive barrier should those consters come along ....

-_-" hello I think a number of us here fall under the 'meatier' category lor

These days the flats are all built to order lor

What makes it more special -_-" The new layouts usually sux, the rooms are way smaller and I get the stupid bomb shelter which is a waste of space

Ya la. I can consider myself lucky I actually bought my place below valuation

fatum puts both his feet in his mouth again

anyway, a few years ago, the flats at marine parade were going for $750k and more.. the asking prices for top floor ones were close to about $800k

You know we were offered Laguna Park unit at around 550k back then but we didn't take it coz the place needed massive renovations

We didn't take it and it was SEA view

It used to be that indian men wanted to marry chinese girls because chinese girls are fair skinned and their children will come out fair skinned.

Now......its about fleecing. Sigh. Us fat short type are really in the wrong country.

Fatum SG

my listing is for the very top floor .......

I was advising that it can fetch 700k at least ......

Please........this is hurting my eyes to read.

I am flat hunting you know.

And last night, ah sirs and some others were all discussing about properties.

Makes me want to weep for my current situation.

you should have .... they just went en bloc recently right ? .....

you could have retired in a few months .....

Aiya btw seaview is nice but a few considerations

But seriously at that point in time we were weighing the chances of en bloc and also the bank loan we needed to take

And then we thought then that seriosuly how often are we home to look out of the window and also how household items corrode much faster if near the sea

So after doing our sums, we figured no point stretching our finances

elindra SG

Ya but at that point in time it didn't make sense to us coz en bloc is a gamble and it would really stretch us to pay the bank

No point living on hindsight

It's just not meant to be

dont' worry lah ... I am keeping a look out for you .....you're not the only one looking for a house too ...

just be patient .... house hunting takes time .... don't be pressured by the boom. what you're looking for, you can still find below valuation ones ...

too bad I wasn't in the trade then and you didn't come to me, heee .....

you can check the en block potential of the place not just by industry rumours, but for example, someone's asking me to look for enbloc potential properties in district 11 as well .... all you have to do, is to go look at the URA master plan that's available for public viewing, the plot ratio would tell you how tall the developers can build, and whether it's worth while or not .... some cheapo walk ups are still cheap cos there's no en bloc potential, cos the plot ratio doesn't allow tall buildings, and developers would be foolish to buy at current prices if they can't flip build higher and flip more buildings onto the market.

We are having a food bonding session at the Icon Condo, several units there belong to a family of officers there.

Then another officer was telling us about how she had originally wanted to buy a unit there with her hub.

But they decided not to, so they got a hdb.

Then hor.....they realised that people are making money, buying those icon units and selling them even before its properly built.

And that started their discussion about properties......and I was weeping at the background when the more they talk.....the more I get depressed. So there I was sulking in a corner and messing with my handphone......

viciouskitty74 SG

Edit: We are having a food bonding session on the 18th Sep.

Icon condo is located at tangjong pagar mrt.

and they were chit chatting last night at my ah sir's cubicle.

Well my dad told us the en bloc potential is very high

But then again it boils down to cash too coz that time we just started out

If we buy at 550k it will really really set us back. And we have to borrow heavily then too

And it doesn't make sense to overstretch yourself to gamble in the sense

That is why now you can talk about on hindsight but what is not meant to be isn't meant to be. Just make yourself unhappy nia

I feel happy thinking about those assholes in the en-bloc committee who bought units to flip and their 3 failed attempts at my place. I hope they lost their shirts because of this.

aiyah, don't fret about it lah .... the halcyon days for en bloc are over liao .... there are many failed en blocs too .... another one just failed at diary farm area, a few families held out and refused to take the offer, so the rest missed out on around 2.5 mil each, at least .... so you'd have to factor that into the calculations too.

elindra SG

I feel happy thinking about those assholes in the en-bloc committee who bought units to flip and their 3 failed attempts at my place.

And imagine that we had overstretched ourselves and hope we make millions but instead of the en bloc going through, we're stuck with what is happening to your condo.

It's a really nasty position to be in

elindra SG

I'm not fretting about it
