Amaryllis Ville units going for more than $1,200 psf
Since last June, the transaction prices of apartments at Amaryllis Ville, along Newton Road, have increasingly crossed the $1,000 psf level. In January, prices at the 311-unit twin-tower condo development came close to the 2007 peak of $1,514 psf, …

If you are hankering for a place in or near to city but daunted by the high prices, a home buyer or investor may want to consider Minbu or Mandalay areas. Though it is very near to Balestier, yet it is still within the district 11 and within the walking distance to Novena MRT Station. Since it is at the fringe of Balestier area, it is very close to good food and amenities.  More importantly, the property prices are much more attractive in comparison to the properties in Newton and Novena …

Sometimes I love to see things in retrospect. I was browsing through the old articles on property section, and found this commentary article dated 18 Nov 2007 on the over spill effect of Newton to Balestier and Thomson 3 years back.

The response to my earlier posting on “A private apartment unit near city area for less than $600psf!!!” so overwhelming that I have been receiving many calls from my readers on the location of St Michael and Boon Keng area.
With the recent successful launches of the Cube 8 in Balestier and the Vision in West Coast Crescent at over an average of $1100 psf, there are many buyers anxiously wanting to get hold a resale apartment unit in District 12 & 13. They believe that the property prices in District …
