    Strata landed has more controls, you dont individually own the plot your house is on, its collectively owned, like condos. hence you cant rebuild, and making structural changes requires approval. I have lived in strata landed in SG and didnt like it as there's less privacy also and disagreements...

    Iskandar Residences @ Medini

    Yes because its a special zone and leasehold. That is why I believe even if they implement the new policy abt foreigners not being allowed to buy from locals, Medini likely to be exempted.

    Try calling the Distinctive office and speaking to Ai Li. They are ok, I heard from them recently like 2 days back. I am not affected by the state consent as I am Malaysian.

    The Epic

    They are learning from their SG brothers and becoming 'kiam' with space;). Also its the same trick, quantum sounds affordable. Over here , now 2 bedrooms are going at what used to be studio size and 3 bedrooms are going at 2 bedder sizes( 9XXsqft)even in questionable heartland locations. Such...

    Eco Botanic @ Nusajaya

    Possibly the 'own stay' demand will remain. SPRs I suspect may go back to their home towns unless they want to live near their kids and/or have a Singaporean spouse. But Singaporeans may still be buying for retirement as they dont want to be stuck on a tiny island with 7M and high cost of...

    Johor to ban foreigners from buy secondary-market properties?

    Even now there are Bumi lots and Other lots. Local quota and International Quota. No such thing as International lots, not the way certain units are tagged as bumi lots. Its just a quota that developers have to follow unless they get a waiver or its in a special zone. On resale market now there...

    Whole market will be affected as new projects wont be sold out if locals boycott.And they will boycott unless developers give them huge discounts to entice them to buy, this will dampen overall market.If discounts arent given, I doubt foreigners will wantt o occupy estates that are like ghost...

    Re: The Epic :) It wont be easy for foreigners to sell their properties for profit as it has been mentioned they may not allow sale of first property or approval must be sought, this will slow down process. Am sure more curbs will come along to prevent foreigners from flipping for easy...

    Re: The Epic :) I am wondering if LH as in Medini will be spared if they implement new rules. As it is,in Medini there is no quota for foreign buyers as its a special zone and certain restruictions have been lifted including minimum purchase price, foreign buyers can buy units below 500K...
