Brand new ones, pretty much forget it. There are old condos in shelford area...may be possible to find. I'm assuming the size is ard 1100sqft..

Old one is ok, as long as not run down. Yes, the size I was thinking is around 1100 sqft. Anything too small will be a bit squeezy for family of 6 (including maid). Thanks for sharing.

Asking for someone else only. Is $1.5m enough to buy a 3 bedroom private property within 1km of both NYPS & RGPS? Please don't recommend what #29, #32. The prices quoted make me giddy, I can only count to 7 digits.

I am sure the asking price of #29 is less than $9,999,999 incl reconstruction cost. That is still 7 digits only

I think after seeing so many 9s in this post, I'm sick liao :faint:

take a look at http://www.ura.gov.sg and see the transaction records to have an idea

nearest condos are : duchess manor, the tressor, (these are quite new)

old one : serene house, lutheran tower, watten residences

ranges from $1000 psf to S$1800 psf, depends on type

HDB flats is cheaper

if you are considering and budget is a constraint and yet want size, i can suggest the following

buy a 3-room first, stay for the mandatory occupation period, then buy within 2km instead of 1km - that way you have more choices, if you don't want landed. after that sell the 3 room to another parent to qualify for Phase 2B/C within 1 km

Only one is within budget, Shelford Regency. It has the right ingredients. Freehold, right location and still affordable if friend really wants to bite the bullet and buy. Only thing is that there are so few transactions so hunting must be made well in advance. Thanks for the info.

1000 psf looks very, very attractive. Too bad I made my move already, no more money left. Otherwise I also wan. Thanks for the info, will let my friend know.

99 yr leasehold at duchess....I rather go for freehold at shelford...if both properties equally \"old\"...


newspaper ran a report recently on properties which do not see the daylight since sold by developers :stupid: - one of which is duchess crest...fortunately for prospective buyers...unfortunately for original buyers...
