Agumon... I have a PayPal account...
Can you divert some hot$ into it?

Hahaha

There's only so much land left in Singapore.

My take: buy wide not buy up. Funny how my tummy agrees

Thats the issue TS...
With only so much land left in SG, would it be wise to buy a Condo?

Or from an investment point of view... wouldn't it be better to get a Terrace/Semi-D?
I will not add in GCB cos the prices are just freaking ridiculous right now!!!!

Yup, that's what I meant. Buy wide, i.e. buy land. Not buy up, i.e. don't buy condo.

Well guys, try buying landed prop. next to kranji golf course ! bet u will be waiting for a long long time. its about location, buy what you can afford for your own, as for investment stay out for now until ...... er if I only know.

Property is one of those things which is painful in the short term but hopefully more rewarding in the long term. Yes, prices may drop... but with limited land mass, I doubt it'll drop too far or too long.

My 2c. I'm not in property. Just kaypoh.

Where's chocoman when you want him?

property will drop, but those on the market will be the 'no so hot' property. The 'lousier' property will be dumped resulting in some 'bargains'. Decent buys but nothing fantastic.

The good stuff, ppl will hold on till the next property boom.....just collect rental at the mean time.

Don't know much about property but I know I have invested a lot on driver that can give me extra 10m distance.... with no return

Just be contented....

Cannot'lah, bro.

Steve Jobs told us all, "Stay hungry, stay foolish"

For those who are hungry for a place to stay....

Just giving everyone here a caution about what you can possibly face in MY. Some of you would probably say that it can happen anywhere but it does happen more often than not in MY.

So, do check the track record of properties developer in MY and ensure that they are those that can complete a project and do so in capital that it wont go bankrupt the next day..

Off topic i know, but i can't help myself.......

From thestar.com.my:

Lai Kam Lian, 62, the mother of MyFM deejay Royce Tan, was stabbed multiple times at her home in Taman Sri Segambut on Thursday.

Lai's family is in shock over her death as they thought their home had adequate security measures to deter criminals.

Her husband, who only wanted to be known as Tan, said their house had CCTVs as well as spiked fences.

It's a sad state of affairs when the residents live in cages and the criminals are free to roam around....

WTF?

Some are armed with knives. Others sit in positions of power.

Part of the reason why JB is unsafe is partly because of us Singaporeans...

We go over with the ego that our currency is strong and blurt things out like "Wah... So CHEAP here!!!" Must buy everything like no tomorrow...

The cost of living in JB is higher than that of KL...
Such being said with the level of wagers that the locals earn or illegal immigrants earn...
I would not be surprised that the crime level remains high...

Spot on, mate.

It doesn't help that the authorities appear overwhelmed by what's happening around them and either can't (or don't want to) take any action to fight the onslaught of crime.

I do agree with Jon. Many Singaporeans think that JB is an extention of Singapore, except they do all the thing they do not usually do in Singapore. E.g. littering, spitting smoking in air con places. Believe me, I have seen a number of huge Singapore cars parked at a Jusco.

All these people do not know the risk they are in.

Then again, almost all border towns in the world are facing the same problem. Malaysians are doing the same thing in Thai border town. Was in Medan last week. due to its proximity to Penang, I see many malaysians there shopping and eating . They even have golf packages in RGD targeted at Malaysians!
