Can you tell which one cost $195 and which pair cost $20?? There is no point in spending $195 for a pair of shoes that look identical to a pair that only cost $20. We think that is foolish. At least for a SAHM or housewife. The expensive pair you can buy at Saks Fifth Ave [...]

April 28, 2008 HDB SURPLUS FLATSSweepstake that draws the plucky opportunist By Dennis Chan I DON'T know if the Government knows this. Many first-time buyers of Housing Board flats are treating the balloting system for new units as a chance to strike the lottery. You can tell them apart from genuine home buyers because they will faithfully put in an application whenever new flats are offered for sale in mature estates. Occasionally, they may test the waters by applying for flats in new townships but will find excuses to reject them should they be successful in getting a queue number. Like seasoned 4-D punters, they are undeterred by repeated failures to land the Big Prize - a new flat in much sought-after towns such as Queenstown, Toa Payoh and Telok Blangah. A colleague's son has ballote

April 18, 2008 HDB supply of completed new flats hits all-time low THE Housing Board yesterday alerted couples looking to buy completed new flats that its supply had now dipped to an all-time low of 1,300. With the 'progressive clearance' of its unsold stock, there will be fewer completed units offered for sale in future, it said. The HDB is now urging buyers to consider its build-to-order (BTO) flats where there will be 'ample supply and regular project launches'. BTO flats will be the main source of new flats in future, the board has said. These flats are built only when there is sufficient demand, and usually take about three years to build. The next two BTO sales will be launched at the end of the month, for flats in Punggol and Sengkang. These new flats and others in towns such as Woo

I'd be a happy camper if I could afford the Camper flats on the left. I can pretty much guarantee that they'll be uber comfy, plus they have that form-meets-function Spanish stylin' we so love. But $140 is pretty steep for casual flats, which is why I was so excited to find the similar Xhilaration banded flats on the right at my local Tar-zhay. Simple & sweet, they have a kind of "TOMS shoes"-chic that's perfect for a down to earth gal who still wants to look good...on a budget. >> Luxe on left: Camper Banded Skimmer at PiperLime.com, $140 >> Less on right: Xhilaration "Shauna" Ballet Flats at Target.com, $14.99 (also available in brown)

April 16, 2008 Raise income ceiling on HDB flats over $500k WITH regard to the recent sale of Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) HDB flats in Boon Keng, I propose the Housing Board set different income limits for flats valued at more than $500,000. This makes more sense in terms of financial planning and affordability issues. There were 3,500 who balloted for 714 DBSS flats in Boon Keng, but only 460 were sold. My nephew was one of those and was allocated a flat but failed the $8,000 income requirement to buy a new HDB flat. At a price of $727,000, it would be unwise for someone with a combined income of less than $8,000 to commit to a flat. Simple calculation: Cost of flat: $727,000 Stamp and legal fees: +$18,100 Current CPF: -$100,000 Loan: $645,100 @ 2.5% over 30 years = $2,583 per mo

April 11, 2008 HDB to sell unsold flats on a less frequent basis By Joyce Teo NOT so long ago, unsold Housing Board flats were so plentiful that home buyers could simply walk in and buy a completed unit. But with fast dwindling stocks, the HDB is streamlining the system for launching batches of unsold flats. Starting July 1, it will hold fewer launches - but each launch will boast more flats. It will sell three-room and smaller unsold flats once every three months, instead of once a month. And the bigger flats - three-room premium and above - will be sold half-yearly starting Oct 10, instead of every two months. Property market observers say this will make life easier for urgent home buyers. PropNex chief executive Mohamed Ismail said it will help unsuccessful buyers avoid the anxiety of

5,000 more BTO flats in pipelineThree-year wait likely, so couples in a hurry will have to resort to resale marketFriday • April 11, 2008AS MORE flats come on stream under the Housing and Development Board's (HDB) build-to-order (BTO) scheme, the board says such units will be its main source of supply in future, and would-be home buyers would have to factor in a three-year wait.This is because construction work on a project under the scheme will only start when a majority of the flats have been booked, so to as to avoid over-building, said the board in a statement yesterday.What this means is that those getting married will now have to start planning early for their housing needs, said property experts. Couples in a hurry will have to buy their flats in the resale market, where sellers h

April 9, 2008 Applicant had choice of 400 flats in Punggol: HDB I REFER to the letter, 'Applicants lose out in build-to-order project' by Mr Lim Yong Chuan (Apr 1). Our records show that Mr Lim had been successfully shortlisted for a new flat under the HDB's Build-to-Order (BTO) Exercise for Treelodge@Punggol in March last year. However, he did not select a flat despite having over 400 flats to choose from. Jade Spring@Yishun was launched last December also under the BTO scheme. In view of the good response to this development, HDB expedited the design of the housing project adjacent to it. The launch of Jade Spring@Yishun Phase 2 was brought forward to last month so that unsuccessful applicants would have another opportunity to apply for a flat in the same vicinity. Under the system, appl

April 8, 2008 Simei site for condo-like HDB flats By Jessica Cheam MORE condo-style Housing Board flats will soon be offered to home buyers looking to live in Singapore's east side. The HDB yesterday released a plum 181,108 sq ft site in Simei Road for tender - the fifth under its Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS), which is open to private developers. The 99-year site has a gross floor area of about 380,327 sq ft - enough for 360 homes. Market watchers said developers will be keen on the plot due to its attractive location in a mature, established HDB estate just 10 minutes' walk from Simei MRT station. Knight Frank director of research and consultancy Nicholas Mak said the site, which could have residential blocks going up to 15 storeys, was likely to attract bids from medium-size dev

Reasonable rateWhen i asked you to guess, even I did not know the property rate of Queenstown. I know the real estate rates in almost all locations of Pune. If you are reading my Pune real estate market news blog regularly, you know Amit's Bloomfield at Ambegaon on new Mumbai Bangalore bypass is asking Rs.3,800 and Rs.4,000 per sq.ft. Property rate of Amannora Township on Hadapsar Kharadi bypass is Rs.3,500 and Rs.4,000. At Balewadi and Bavdhan Koolhomes's property rate is Rs.4,000. Midori Towers of Pimple Nilakh, was launched at special rate of Rs.3,000 per sq.ft. But all these projects were in undeveloped areas. In last couple of years, not a single township was launched in the developed area of Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad. Why? How can you have a township in the city if the big plots are
