The executive condominium is usually found right in the heartlands. Many an executive condomnium is conveniently located near the town centre. This means amenities such as schools, eateries, shops and even a supermarket can be reached within minutes from the executive condominium.The executive condominium is much like the private condominium. The difference lies in the affordability of the executive condominium. There are however, some HDB procedures and policies to follow if you wish to purchase an executive condominium. Despite this, the executive condominium is in demand and the market for it will continue to grow. Catch the opportunity before it slips you by!

Located within Pasir Ris Town, this EC site is well-served by an efficient transport network that connects residents to the Pasir Ris MRT station and the Pasir Ris Bus Interchange. It is also located near the expressways like the TPE, ECP and PIE.Located fairly close to neighbourhood amenities (some minmarts, coffee shops etc)It is also within walking distance to Downtown East, where you find a NTUC and all kinds of F&B outlets.

Pasir Ris EC site sells for S$122m

Posted by Singapore Property Match on January 9, 2012

An Executive Condominium (EC) site at the junction of Pasir Ris Drive 3 and Pasir Ris Link has been sold to Ho Lee Group Ltd & Maxdin Ltd, after offering the highest bid of S$122.20 million (S$291 psf ppr) in a state tender that closed on 11 October 2011.

Can SMS www.marktan.name  938-747-86 request for update when showflat is ready

The site, which was launched for sale on 25 August 2011, is zoned for EC housing and could possibly yield up to 390 condo units. It has a total area of 18,576.1 sq m and a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 39,009.81 sq m, with a gross plot ratio of 2.1.

Chia Siew Chuin, Director of Research & Advisory at Colliers International, said “new EC units at the site are likely to breakeven at about S$580-610 psf,” given its S$291 psf ppr land cost.

She added that site psf price is also some 10.8 percent above the land price achieved for the Belysa EC site located on Elias Road / Pasir Ris Drive 1, which was awarded in October 2010.

Li Hiaw Ho, Executive Director at CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) Research, agreed and noted that the 315-unit Belysa EC at Elias Road, which was launched on 11 May at S$670 psf, “was fully sold within one month.”

“The newest EC project, Arc At Tampines (574 units) at Tampines Avenue 8, reportedly sold more than 300 units in the past month. It was launched at the end of August 2011 at $720 psf. A new EC project on the subject site, which can yield around 390 units, may be priced at similar levels.”

He added that the site “is about 10 minutes’ walk from Downtown East and E!hub @ Downtown East. White Sands shopping mall and Pasir Ris MRT station/bus interchange are a short drive away. Future residents will be able to walk to Pasir Ris Park and the beach.”

Foreigner share of resale ECs spikes to 49%

Posted by Singapore Property Match on January 9, 2012

Foreigner share of resale ECs spikes to 49% By Mindy Tan

SALES of completed executive condominiums (ECs) on the resale market saw a surge of interest from foreigners in the first 11 months of 2011. Sales of new units too locked in a record number of transactions from January to November last year.

Foreigners, including permanent residents (PRs), bought 383 resale ECs in the first 11 months of 2011, exceeding the 322 units which were purchased for the whole of 2010, said property market research firm R’ST Research.

This accounts for 49 per cent of the 775 resale ECs transacted in 2011, up from the 33 per cent recorded.

Looking specifically at foreigners who are non-PRs, 108 EC transactions were made, more than twice the 49 units bought in 2010. The bulk of these purchases were by Chinese nationals (70 transactions) and Indian nationals (19 transactions).

On the developer sales front, 2,058 EC units were transacted in the developer (new) sales market. This marked fresh records for both new sales, and total EC transactions. The latter saw a total of 2,833 EC units purchased within the 11 months, breaching the last peak of 1,876 units in 1998.

ECs – a hybrid between public and private homes – come with condo facilities, but cost less than a private condo. They have initial sale restrictions similar to those for public housing, such as a minimum occupation period of five years.

After five years, they can be sold to Singaporeans and PRs. They are fully converted to private housing after 10 years – it is then that they can be bought by foreigners who are not PRs.

Supply of ECs will be further ramped up this year, with the government ready to release sites for up to 5,000 EC units through the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme – sites for 3,000 units will be launched in the first half of 2012, under the Confirmed List, comparable to the 3,000 EC units from five sites sold for the whole of 2011.

According to Ong Kah Seng, director at R’ST Research, the buoyant sales activity can be attributed to the attractive pricing ECs offer.

‘Various EC projects were launched from end 2010 and received good buying interest amid the economic slowdown,’ he noted. ‘In fact, due to a significant run up in private condominium prices translating to record selling prices, ECs became an attractive alternative.’

Joseph Tan, executive director, residential, CBRE, agreed, noting that ECs are always relatively more affordable, given that their average prices are some 20 per cent to 25 per cent below those of new 99-year-leasehold private condominiums in the same neighbourhood.

There is also the issue of supply, he pointed out.

Eight EC sites were sold via the GLS programme in 2010, after a hiatus of six years. Three new projects were launched in 2010, with the remaining five launched in 2011.

Alan Cheong, associate director of Savills research and consultancy, added: ‘ECs were designed for family units. They have sizes between 900 to 1,300 sq ft. That makes it attractive for owner occupiers (with families).’

On the resale front, 775 resale EC units were transacted in the first 11 months of 2011, according to R’ST Research.

Of this, 383, or 49 per cent, were purchased by foreigners (including PRs). Mainland Chinese, Indian nationals and Malaysians accounted for the bulk of the purchases.

Sales data showed that for the eleven months, mainland Chinese bought 151 resale EC units, followed by Indian nationals with 118 resale units, and Malaysians at 62 resale units.

Foreigners (non-PRs) bought 108 EC units in the first 11 months.

One of the key reasons for the surge in foreign interest lies in ECs’ attractive pricing, with resale units about 13 per cent below those of private resale homes in similar locations, said CBRE’s Mr Tan.

The top-selling EC projects in 2011 included Prive (537 units), Blossom Residences (293 units) and Belysa (278 units).

On the resale front, the top-selling projects were Northoaks (81 units), Woodsvale (75 units) and The Floravale (62 units).

Looking ahead, R’ST Research’s Mr Ong expects the strong buying interest to continue into 2012, in part supported by the recent raising of buyers’ income ceiling from $10,000 to $12,000.

‘However, there may be a handful of home seekers who are waiting for prices of private residential properties to fall in 2012 in view of the ample supply, challenging economic conditions, and private residential cooling measures,’ he added.

‘As such, buyers are unlikely to rush into purchasing an EC unless it fits into his property buying requirements. The overall buying interest for ECs is expected to be encouraging, but not excessively optimistic.’

When property agents advertise without permission …

Posted by Singapore Property Match on September 25, 2011

TODAYonline | Voices | When property agents advertise without permission ….

My experience seems like a case study for why “Fake property ads still vex despite measures” (Sept 2).

Two months ago, I tried to sell my Housing and Development Board flat via three of my friends who are property agents. I was told the importance of getting a sole agent, but I thought fair competition was necessary since all three friends were dear to me.

Then, other agents learned about my unit being on sale and offered to bring buyers to see my flat. The competition was welcomed, on the condition that they could not advertise. But they did, online.

The Council for Estate Agencies said I had no case, for two reasons.

One, the agents did not mention which unit they were advertising. Hence, they could be advertising for another unit. Two, the agents used generic photographs, which did not show the interior of my unit.

The reasons are valid. However, CEA could not respond to my request for documented proof that the agents had permission to advertise for any of the units in my HDB block.

In my view, infringement of property advertising guidelines will remain an issue if the agency in charge is unwilling to enforce the rules. I look forward to more serious enforcement to raise the professional standards of property agents in the future.

NTUC-IEA Singapore reaches out with U Associate Programme

Posted by Singapore Property Match on August 8, 2011

NTUC reaches out to Professionals, Managers and Executives
through U Associate Programme

NTUC-IEA Partnership Agreement

The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and the Institute of Estate Agents (IEA), Singapore signed a Partnership Agreement today as part of the Labour Movement’s efforts to reach out and serve more professionals, managers and executives (PMEs). Mr Patrick Tay, Director (PMEs & Legal Services), NTUC and MP for Nee Soon GRC, was the Guest-of-Honor at the signing ceremony.

The agreement, signed by Mr Herman Yeo, Chairperson (Membership) of IEA and Mr Vivek Kumar, Director (Membership) of NTUC, and witnessed by NTUC Secretary General Lim Swee Say, marks the beginning of a close partnership between the Labour Movement and the IEA. Close to 1800 IEA members can now enjoy the convenience of dual privileges offered by the Labour Movement and IEA under this program, with just one membership!

U Associate Programme

The U Associate programme was launched in March 2011 to extend the Labour Movement’s reach to PMEs through existing industry associations, alumni clubs, etc. U Associate program is designed to help our partner associations grow.

The first U Associate partner was Nanyang Technological University Alumni Club (NTU AC). Today, over 3,000 NTU Alumni Club members are enjoying the U Advantage of NTUC Membership under the U Associate Programme. Under the U Associate Programme, members can also look forward to special engagement activities specially crafted to meet their lifestyle needs. For example, NTUC & NTU Alumni Club co-hosted a U Family Night Out event on 15 July 2011 for U Associate members to enjoy an evening of plays, skits, and pure family fun!

Upcoming U Privileges for IEA Members

Vivek Kumar noted, “Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) now requires Real Estate professionals to continually up-skill themselves. NTUC-IEA U Associate members can now tap into UTAP (Union Training Assistance Program), a training subsidy of $250 offered by NTUC to all its members for identified courses on co-sharing basis. We are pleased to announce that UTAP has been extended to three IEA training programmes, namely the RES (Real Estate Salesperson Course), REA (Real Estate Agency Course) and CPD Activities (Continuing Professional Development) are compulsory courses that IEA members and all registered practitioners have to attend annually to ensure skills competency and professionalism across the real estate agency industry. Completing these courses are a requirement for renewal of registration or licensing by CEA.”

Mr Mohamed Ismail said, “With 30,000 estate agents in the industry, IEA and NTUC believe it is important to reach out to them through a holistic framework that includes supporting them not only in life and at play, but with their career development too.”

PMEs Outreach

Speaking on the occasion, Guest-of-Honor Mr Patrick Tay said, “The number of PMEs is expected to rise in the near future as better educated and younger residents join the workforce. We wish to build a community for PMEs where they can enjoy the privileges relevant to them, and more importantly, voice their opinions and concerns as part of the community. We will raise these at relevant forums so they can get a career mobility that would make them feel enriched, and a lifestyle they’d like to enjoy. IEA and NTU Alumni Club members would form a critical part of this PME Community.”

Conclusion

U Associate program is a new way for NTUC to intensify its outreach to PMEs through existing professional associations & clubs. NTUC will strive to work towards achieving sustainable growth for a stronger economy and inclusive growth for an inclusive workforce, so as to help working people of all collars, ages and nationalities live a better life through better skills, better jobs and better pay.
