About this Blog
Under the new HDB ruling, 90% of the units in a new Executive Condo will be set aside for first-timers during the first month of sales. First-time buyers with a household incomes of up to $10,000 are eligible to apply and are entitled to a $30,000 Housing Grant from the government.
Property consultants expect lukewarm response from developers despite the site’s attractive location. The recent financial crisis in the United States is likely to further dampen sentiment in the Singapore housing market, said Mr Nicholas Mak, director of research and consultancy at Knight Frank, who predicts fewer than five bids. Mr Mak thinks the site can fetch $73 million to $87 million, or $100 to $120 per sq ft (psf) of gross floor area. Finished units could be launched at $500 to $550 psf, based on recent home sales in the area.

The blogger here has been affectionately named by close allies as "Smart Buyer" but really, he's not smart. Smart Buyer just believes that being prudent is smart. That's the essence of the message of this blog and Smart Buyer hopes it'll benefit other property buyers.
