The
sales of recently launched condo Watertown is proof that the Additional
Buyer’s Stamp Duty could be working, as more than 500 of the 550 units
sold were to Singaporeans.
Over at Hillview, The Hillier saw around 80% of their units sold to
Singaporeans. The rest of the buyers comprised PRs and foreigners, who,
under the new regulations, pay 3% and 10% more when they buy a new
private property.

According
to Minister for National Development (MND) Khaw Boon Wan, en bloc sales
have been on a downward trend since 2007, where it hit a high of close
to 6,000 units. At that time, property prices were pushed up because of
the shortage in supply and the ever-growing demand for private housing.

development right beside Punggol MRT and My Waterway @ Punggol. We don't

It's
the end of the four day long weekend! We hope you are as relaxed as we
are. Some of us are still bloated with all the feasting and gorging over
the past few days. Some folks are not only snapping up the CNY snacks,
but also condo units - more specifically Watertown.
Psst, let you in on a little secret - the cooling measures are not working! That new launch is selling like crazy! More details in the next few days. Meanwhile, time for a refresher course on the events that happened last week.

Residents staying at Fernvale, Sengkang will get a new mall in a couple
of years’ time. HDB received 12 bids for the commercial site located at
Fernvale LRT station, with the top bid of $328m coming from Earth
Holdings (aka Singapore Press Holdings - yes, newspapers are getting a
piece of the property pie). The new mall means having better amenities,
and it also means that prices of homes in the vicinity may appreciate.
Who says Sengkang has NOTHING?
