hi goldwish!
care to elaborate how well is km1's layout against covillea's?
think savanna 2 serves a good reference point for covillea to benchmark against. close proximity with similiar genes.
am not too sure whether 470psf would give 25% profit to original purchasers as block a was sold at a much higher price. anybody care to comment on here?
since you seems pretty knowledgable on this part of town, care to share the facilities condition of vista komanwel and savanna? has it already been thrashed kaw kw by the students?
KM1 is lower density, more windy compare to covillea(block by vista komanwel A). KM1 is not block by any building.
The moment the road links across to esplanade. Covillea will get a steady stream of cars during peak hours and will get more when Kiara 2, z residence, treez, km1 and km2 completes. It will get really busy in front of covillea.
Vista komanwel badminton court, swimming pool and gym all went through major repair works. All facilities are pack with students. African and middle east are the worst of the lot with their smoking habit, throwing bottles and rubbish out of their windows. At any moment, vista komanwel lifts will definitely have at least 1 student with you.
Just imagine, at 600 per sqft property and you experience the same fate as vista komanwel. If you are buying to rent, 600 per sqft gives you a very bad ROI. If for own stay, I don't want to see any students.
As for savanna 2, they are less than 10 units occupancy. Units are for sale for over a year. Looks like savanna 2 are own by BJ rich friends. 'sek pau my pau' in Cantonese.
Covillea blk A 1293 sqft average price is about 460k. If sold at 600 per sqft, it will cost 775k. Profit is 315k. That is 40 per cent profit. If it is sold at 470 per sqft, it will cost 608k. Profit is 148k. That is 25 percent profit.
Don't you think it is a decent profit as covilleans paid about 40k plus downpayment and enjoy dibs scheme until VP. And still make a clean profit of about 100k after paying capital gain tax and loan penalty.
