A new shining gem in Buangkok where life begins! With its modern features and stylish landscaping, The Quartz is resplendent with a dazzling array of recreational facilities you can imagine!

Located just 3 minutes from Buangkok MRT & minutes from shopping malls, library, bus interchange, good primary & secondary schools and quick access to city via major expressways.

The Quartz comprises 625 units, spread over 9 blocks of 17, 18 & 19 storey condominium units.

We had just visited the showflat and honestly speaking, the quality of the furnishings were not as high as Natura Loft, but the layout was slightly more spacious. There were only 5 units left with the cheapest unit being priced at $756000 (108 spm). However, even at that price, it was already much cheaper than the initial launch price of $900000.

Nevertheless, I would say that the condominium facilities were quite impressive. On top of that, there is a 24-hour supermarket and foodcourt within walking distance. For those who are concern about safety, the fire station is just down the road. Accessibility wise, The Quartz is just minutes away from the MRT station and the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway

With potential for future developments, it looks to be a promising area to stay in. The high price is quite a deterrent so we shall be on the alert for any sub-sales in the coming week.

Buyers expect property prices to fall even further and they are looking to buy only “in the third or fourth quarter of this year”.

The reason is simple: Analysts are predicting further uncertainty in the economy and home prices may fall another 10 to 20 per cent.

On top of that, property experts have even heard of developers who waive the maintenance fees in order to entce buyers, among other sweeteners.

It seems like at this moment, private property has become an option for us. If prices drop into the $400k to $500k range, I would not even mind staying at a place away from my preferred area.
