This lady is not buying into Iskandar as she would choose Spore which will be less crowded after everyone moved to JB.....and the MRT will no longer be crowded.....insteresting perspective for someone writing on property investment......

Will her dream comes true given that the targeted 6.9m? Oo

I feel that she is just talking down buying into Iskandar because she has missed the first few waves of buying and prices have moved beyond her comfort zone. Sour grapes in short.

Her statements are at times nonsensical:

"For starters, I think we are at a point where it is either too late or too early to jump into the market."

and at times self-contradictory:

"I would consider investing in Iskandar in the future but I would first like to see a pickup in commercial activity there, and for prices to come down to more reasonable levels."

When commercial activity picks up in Iskandar, how likely would prices come down?

Look out for people like her. When they start buying, it would be a signal to sell.

....yup precisely why I was wondering her editor did not junk her article....ST is really printing junk from inexperience real estate reporter with questionable understanding of property....thought that kind of junk only appear on Newpaper....even my son writes better essays for his econs in school.


Anyway if her dream of uncrowded train ever materializes, Spore economy would be in the dump and she must be dumb not to realize that she would probably be out of job and cannot afford to ride the train....

Is it a resale and original owner already has his title deed?

Not resale, bought from developer two years ago. Heard from the sales staff then that the developer had already carved out the master title to individual lot title and so the transfer to individual owner name should be no problem and fast. True enough, it was done within two months or so after vacant possession last year.

The artist impression looks very nice! hope the finish product will be as good as it looks. Just hope the longkang does not give out a foul smell or filled with rubbish. It took years before Singapore river became what it is today.

Enjoying empty MRT seats!? My goodness, is she talking about sitting at the terminal? Dun think you can get seats so easily even you are on the last train of the day. Maybe at the last station!

Haha, very true.

But there are many who face a conundrum like her. They realized that it is a great idea especially when Johor is trying to shadow the works of Shenzhen. However, after realising that some of the early settlers are sitting on 2X or 3X gains, it is quite difficult to stomach.

Reminded me of the time when Sim Wong Hoo could have bought a big share of Apple at around USD 80 when Creative Technology won the patent suit with more than USD 150 million in compenstation. He did not and ended up dissing them.

Critical decisions need to be made at the junction.

Indeed, the test of one's mettle is the ability and willingness to make key decisions at critical junctures.

Nothing is 100% but one needs to weigh all possibilities and then act based on his assessment of probabilities (and other parameters such as affordability) instead of procastinating.

That is the litmus test of whether one is an early mover or is just part of the herd.

Nothing wrong with being part of the herd but it's pointless and silly to lament inanely and eat sour grapes, especially openly in a main-stream newspaper.

It is always easy to criticise than to contribute.

A lot of people just say where cannot buy. But never point to you where to buy.

If she talk about empty MRT does she meant buy Singapore?
And if so buy where?
Buy What?

Happy 端午节 everyone.

Keep playing this game of musical chairs. Even though some may lose but the chance of making something out of our life is worth the risk we are all taking.

Only thing that will 100% happen to everyone one day is death.

Nothing is certain. I never seen any no brainer sure win investment in my life.

Just calculate the risk.
Calculate our stomach for the level of risk we can digest.

I will not be surprise everyone bought prior before June 2013 will make paper profit across Zone A and B.

Happy investing.
