My House!! 27-1-2011

went amk hub shopping..

if u r there.. must go this store @ level 2.

clothes there are cheaper..

i saw some tops tat i bought at other stores, is sold here..

exactly the same n cheaper..

arghh...

 ---------------------------

anyway has been viewing condos in D19/20 for some time..
FINALLY found the ONE!
its at Regentville..
hougang area..
we like this unit for few reasons

1) it is relatively cheaper than other units tat we viewed (stil not cheap la)..
others mostly almost 1mil or some over 1mil..
its crazy price.. esp for D19/20.

2) it is pool view!!
seller can easily sell maybe abt 50k more if it is pool view as compared to same level unit w/o pool view..
lucky not facing main rd too!
so wont gana dust from rd..

3) its level perfect 10!
we viewed some low floors..
low floor's feel is not wat we want..
so far high floor really feels better..

4) we have unblock living n bedroom view!
also means windy!
below pic is view from our living rm! keke

5) it is jus beside dear's parent hse..

so we r super familiar with the area..

opposite still got a small shopping mall with NTUC..

so convenient..

6) size is ok.. not too small.. 1152sqft/107sqm

3 bedrm.. cos in laws living w us..

7) location is very accessible..

few bus stop away from hougang NEL, YCK mrt, 

serangoon NEX shopping mall, AMK hub shopping mall etc..

drive to city w/o traffice is ard 15 min..

8) no west sun!

other units either got west sun or low floor or too few parking lots or no pool view etc..

9) maintenance only abt $260/mth..

can park 2 cars!!

most condo can only park 1 car..

then problem for us..

10) the condo got ktv room n billard table in function rm n got a big study area..

brought 2 gu n ah ma to see the hse when we r doing inventory list taking..

they like it too..

am happy!

Not so good is this development is 10+ yrs old liao..

n its leasehold..

got abit old kinda feeling.. 

but personally we feel more pros then cons..

anyway we wont live till so old la..

so we immediately pay 1% after viewing the hse..

haha..

also happens tat seller's agent is dear's old time fr!

so we got a rather good deal..

seems like its meant for us..

am also happy tat we found it before CNY so we need not search anymore..

viewing is super tiring..

we also settled bank loan n lawyer things before CNY..

after CNY i can start meeting client proper..

n we can start looking ard for interior designers n furniture.

keke.. so looking fwd to my new hse!

LOVES!
