    As usual, hilarious video 😃😂. Every time my wife seeing me watching your channel, she said, oh your friend! 😀. Agree that people investing so much money either for own stay or investment should carefully choose the place. Some could be costly learnings!. Enjoy your holidays as well. All your reviews are good, from the buyer's perspective.

    Just thinking aloud, if EOK average is 2620psf, then Dhoby Ghaut 2750psf should make sense.

    I used to study in the Sophia area- generally the area is very quiet and I found it a bit dated. Public transport wise it was pretty inconvenient - quite a long walk to dhoby ghaut mrt and buses wise - it's usually one way coming down from orchard and if you wanted to take the other way, the walk is pretty long. Also few amenities and recreational space for families. Mount Emily park is like a long walk in.
    And if you observe the retail areas in that area - it is pretty quiet too.
    I still have friends who bought the sophia area for 1km to acs junior but that is probably one of the very few pull factors to buy in that area.

      I guess you wouldnt know that Rochor mrt is 500m away? and if you walked straight you will hit Bugis in just under 10 minutes :) But I do agree the place is abit dated but the area has changed a little bit.

    I think this is personal preference. The data used might not be comparable also. Agreed the price increases at CCR is way much lower compared to RCR or OCR. But, this area at Sophia is undergoing some changes now, with all the KTVs have gone. It will be different in 5 years. 😊

    Last but not least, almost everywhere is near to MRT, going forward which MRT you are near to is very very important. for example i can say my hse is near MRT, but at changi MRT... and my hse is near MRT which is Boon Keng or novena... makes a huge different!!

  • @vincenttravelsg

    This area appears to have quite a number of KTVs and is a bit of a walk from the nearest MRT stations. The two blocks are located very close to each other.

    Even though I agree with Eric, I do feel that some human principles should come into play.
    Which is not to laugh / make-fun-of people who were not as ‘savvy’ or educated. Be humble and not choosing friends based on their wealth or investing capabilities.
    Wish the best for others because what goes around comes around.
    Eric, you are the master of your field and craft but please remember that the younger generation are also watching your videos now. How you make fun of people and behave will influence how they treat their peers and own family members in the future.
    Let’s keep the education (real estate) and the entertainment but leave out the shaming and mockery of the less fortunate. Wishing everyone the best and of course a very huat kuey new year. 😊🎉

      if eric is viewed as caustic and abrasive, rude, there will be no audience willing to listen to him in a physical symposium.
      The audiences all his content is definitely the younger generation especially upcoming home buyers. The age group is definitely adults and not kids.
      As adults on the internet, it is expected you should know how to tell right from wrong, filter out the relevant noise, and also to know how to take in humour and sarcasm.

    Hmmm this project is supported by DBS bank, this bank does a lot due diligence. Also this is a mixed development project. Guys margaret primary is nearby. And you can walk to Bugis and Orchard. So many facilities nearby. I still think buy for own stay would be good, it will be very convenient. Investment probably not. To each their own. Also honestly the price for one Sophia now is still ok, only 2.5k to 2.7k psf for lower floors and it’s elevated. It’s already matching rcr projects prices with ok accessibility. Idk man I guess sometimes need to use some common sense too. And honestly not many properties after holding for 17 years can make more than 500k…. People buy for own stay after all.

      walk to Orchard Road lol, plaza sing say la. prime orchard Ion or Wisma u walk from Sophia ah? lmao...i know u want to say good things about the project la but dont so obvious and ridiculous la..Even your walk to Bugis is not really Bugis, its just nearer to middle road, waterloo. Bugis Junction still quite a walk away.

    • @pixiedustemerald3888
      @pixiedustemerald3888 Місяць тому +7

      But can walk to orchard road what, it’s only 1.7km away to Somerset mrt. If you can’t walk that far can take Dhoby Ghaut mrt. Red line circle line. Bencoolen and Rochor blue line. Bugis green line. The full mrt lines rainbow is there. What else you want some more. Lol. You walk from nava to Clementi mrt lol 2.1km away and got nothing nearby. I just find it very weird the score for this is low. I was expecting like 4 or 5 lol He always preach so long price right location good ok alr. IMO this place fulfil both criteria. Anyways only time will tell. I just sold of a small boutique condo that I own for 3 years at twice my invested amount. So I guess again to each their own. I am now looking to put my money into properties again. I mean some of his views got point lah but you also must look at Singapore population. Dinks is on the rise so buyer preference will slowly change too. Dinks will usually look at convenience. Again no offense to anyone I still think most if not 99% of properties ll make money in sg. Wish huat to everybody!!!!

    No need to criticise until like that lah, D9 is still a better location than places like Tampines, make money or not, it is another different matter. Anyway, rich don't make money from properties unless they are in the property business, most make money from their businesses. Anyway, I don't own any condos in the prime districts.

    Hi Eric, thanks for the video! Just want to ask how do you determine what price discount to be used when counting in the age gap. 10 years then use 50 per year? 20+ years then use 40 per year? I remember also one time saw you use 30 per year to count. Thanks!!

    The Arcady at Boon Keng Freehold, 6MINS to Boon Keng MRT and drive 8-10mins to Orchard asking for 2700PSF to 2800psf....
    Given its freehold status as well as city fringe area(RCR) this Arcady development is clearly under value.......
    Last but not least, those HDB at Boon Keng is already asking 1.2 to 1.4mio for a 4room HDB which is equivalent to a 2-3bed condo.

One bernam 2.9k, near tp mrt, seneca, 2.3k Tanah Merah ocr, one Sophia, 2.6k near 5 mrts. I rubbed my eyes. I worked at sg pools and I ever walked to City Hall before so I really don’t know why the price is so cheap. I hope the developer ll reduce it more lol

    I think some of his comments are uncalled for, I was one of the buyers who placed a cheque for EOK and DIDNT GET IT and am now considering One Sophia. Not that we dont want to buy but we cant buy! I hope you have some compassion for the 3k plus people who didnt get it because the VVIPs and AGENTS swept half of the units before they release it for public purchase. And by then only left 1 and 2 bedders and overpriced 3 and 4 bedders for sale. I know alot of parents who cried because many were buying for own stay and for their children. People SOLD THEIR homes for this project and I guess you hyped it up so much that the rest of us who wants to stay there cant buy.
