  Nice but cannot afford

  Visited the showsuites at the actual units. Overall, the biggest draw of the development is the location - MRT at the doorstep, opp market and mall with all the conveniences of good food, easy access to town and the future NEXX Mall at Serangoon MRT interchange. Units are generally big and spacious (at least by today's standards). Layouts are modelled after D9 and 10 more luxury developments. Design-wise, it is certainly a notch up vs Kovan Melody next door. Development is close to some international schools so there may be a potential rental market for expats who like newer and bigger apartments. Would have been better if the development has more green and space. But it is one of the better ones of the recent launches. Good potential but prices are high due to bigger sized units. PSF wise, 850-900 psf is reasonable by recent standards.

  To buy or not to buy

  I like this condo very much and have been monitoring the progress even before the project launch. The price is on the high side for a LH99 project, even after the discounts in early 2009 (3BR abt 800k+). Many buyers were chasing after the price and pushing the price higher due to positive sentiments from the recent rally in the stock market. Developer adjusted the price up every week based on demand. Now in June 2009, 3BR is 1 million. This could be the peak already. If i buy a 3 BR for 1 million+, i bear the high loan payment for a long long time. And also, how much more can i resell a LH99 1 million 3 BR for in 5-10 years' time if i so decide to sell it? Will still continue to monitor the project....
