Personally? I do not know about condo but i do not think that landed property price in Singapore will fall more than 15% as the dynamics are a little difference.
1) more high income expats working in Singapore expecially oil and gas and financial industry.
2) many of the investors who belove that price will fall were selling last year and this year. Not many more people to depress the price. Heng ah......
3) due to the 4 year seller stamp duty. Supply will be very tight from 2012 onwards.
4) to much stimulus across the globe. Liquidity will eventually drive inflation. A matter of time
Hope above helps,

Bro Vincentck, I was referring to causeway via JB custom. As for the direction to Tuas via EL, you can try to enter the coastal highway towards right of the main guardhouse, but as it is cordoned off/blocked at the moment, you might want to take the longer route for now, i.e. towards Jusco.
i take public transport to school everyday. I know how it feels.
Brother, very thoughtful of you. My mom's health improved tremendously after staying weekends in HH, she became more cheerful, outgoing and like to stroll around the garden. We also enjoy the road trips every week. So get your license and enjoy life.
Ghosh... Jusco Bukit Indah is driving me nuts... yesterday's crowd was as if Jusco giving away free groceries.
It's high time they open another Jusco but i suspect many of these developers like UEM might be waiting for price to appreciate before letting in some of these international players... idiot !

Not to pour cold water on you guys... you can't run away from FTs in JB.
There is actually a Myanmar community (working in SG) who purchased units in precints 5/6, but they are educated and decent lot, pretty nice people. One of them held a house warming in NI phase 2A and invited us (some months back) that's how we met them. I suppose when there is enough space for everyone things become more tolerable and people are less ill-tempered.

I think you have nailed the main problem here in Sg. Insufficient land but the gov keeps the floodgates open..
sutera mall also very busy as well. though i think pelangi which used to be beacon of JB shopping is really quiet these days. all eyes pointing towards the lifestyle mall now.
So wonder, will the whole jusco, bukit indah stretch be all jam up when the cinema n condos are ready??
my friend's brother works for MOM. He is sent to India FT for 3 years and he mentions there is a whole team of them in various countries including China to head hunt and attract more FT into SG. Not for blue collar jobs but for white collar ones.
To me SG property prices will take a hit when 2 things happen:
1. Rentals fall due to Govt tighten FT/immigration policy and economy weak/recession.
2. Interest rates rise.
The first event has already started to happen. Now waiting for 2nd shoe to drop.
The bad news is once SG rentals/property price falls, you can expect johor prices to correct too. No 2 ways about it...the meteoric rise in JB prices over the last 3 years is in part fueled by the rise in SG property prices. If prices back in SG starts to moderate, the 'exodus' of people into JB houses will moderate also...less financial incentive for the 1+1 model... some may even sell their JB house to pay for the deposit of a SG condo.
No worries...from the look of things, the 2nd shoe will not drop anytime soon.
cheers.

At least if stay jb, I have a Big Space of my own unlike staying in e pigeon hole
the whole area very wong with all the amenities. When BH, ND (ND's condo), setia sky/gardens (did i hear correctly a 3rd one is mooted?), inner setia developments close to HH, the numerous HH precincts + fairway suites, horizon residences, NI, Nusa Bayu/central, setia eco gardens are all done and occupied. The roads may need to be upgraded...
the funny thing about people is that the more jammed a place is, the more people like to come..
bros who served NS will know the analogy here...maciam like everybody rushing for the same hole...haha.
cheers.
Haha call me crazy... but i am in constant search for "change". A changed environment inspires me.
After spending 3 years in JB and driving 120,000 km... i am in the mood for change again... i have moved back to SG at a location 2km away from office.
The other reason is my love for cars... unfortunately my car is not suitable for JB. I don't want to hide my car at home and commute around in a Proton.
Finally i plan to have kids and and my wife wish to have our kids born in SG. These 3 reasons prompted us to move back to SG... for now.
I hope this will not discourage any bros moving to JB as i have explained my reasons. I remain invested in JB and i can move back very easily when my EL house is ready... but probably a lucky tenant is going to enjoy the first stay in my house when it is ready end of next year.
i think its the 'qi'. also the more people go to a place, they bring more amenities in and the more people come.
