Hi Gurus,
I am looking at dairy farm residences with some interest. However, I am concerned with the poor take up rate. How will this affect things like capital appreciation, maintenance fees? Also, are there any case studies to show what do developers do in these circumstances (i.e to avoid the ABSD penalty)?

Dear Sir/Mdm,

If you are purchasing a project for investment, you may wish to look at factors such as price comparison between your shortlisted project and the other projects in the area, transformation happening in the vicinity (catalyst for capital appreciation), as well as the rental performance in the area.

If you are buying for own stay, then your own requirements will take priority instead. Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your objectives better and provide you with more in depth analysis.

Hi,

A project's poor take up rate at the moment may not mean capital appreciation is no longer possible. It depends on how the area will develop in the future years, supply of layout and demand, and also the unique points of this development over the neighbouring ones.

DFR being an mixed commercial residential development differentiates itself from the other nearby condos with its more unique offering so I think it will still find its buyers eventually nearer to TOP date.

Is this purchased for investment? Happy to share on the value buys tailored to your objectives.

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

HI,

Poor take up rates doesn't mean the project is not doing well or there won't be any capital appreciation. Each project will have their plus points and their own market.
Capital appreciation will also depend on other factors such as the development around the area as well as the type of project it is.

Dairy Farm being a mixed development are less common type of projects where many amenities are provided in one place.

Now come the burning question, what will do you if you are the developer and you see the project not moving compared against a project that moving? It will definitely be the price. So, it is not a bad thing if the take up rate is poor now.

Prudent planning is still a must thus i hope i can discuss further with you on this.

Thanks!

Hi;

Poor take-up rate for now doesnt mean low capital appreciation and it doesnt impact the maintenance fees at all. How to determine a project with potential capital appreciation ?Many factors to consider, for example - what would be the future transformation that the area has, the land bid price, just to name a few.. . I have done some research for that area to compare DFR and the surrounding projects, which one is safer to enter and which one will most likely give you better appreciation. Do contact me so i can share with you more on the project vs the surroundings. Thanks & have a great week ahead..

Good afternoon!

The projects take-up rates does not affect the capital appreciation or maintenance fees.

Perhaps you would like to drop me a message on Whatsapp, and let me share with you further whether it is indeed a good project to buy into or not.

Hi,

A project's take up rate is not an indication for future price appreciation, nor will it affect the maintenance fee of the development.

Price appreciation depends on market forces, while maintenance fee is usually pegged to the share value of the unit that you own, which is fixed.

May I know if you're looking to purchase this for your own stay or is it for investment purpose?

I am experienced and well-versed in private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
