I was offered 1.25m by the developer for a corner terrace show house, its fully renovated. My bx keep objecting, giving all sorts of reasons. Say this no good, say that no good. Finally, we bought a corner terrace in the east for around 900k (also 99 years leasehold). 3 years later in 2012, we sold the corner terrace for around 1.5m while the sembawang terrace changed hands at 2.6m. In 2006, i was looking for a 5 room resale flat in either CCK or Bukit Panjang. We went to view a 5 room opposite Bukit Panjang Plaza. It was going for around 290K . Looking at the location, i was ready to sign the Option to Purchase. My bx again, made a lot of noise , say this no good, say that no good. Finally we bought a 5 room design and built at CCK for 310K. 5 years later when we sold it off in 2012, our design and built 5 room only sold for 442k while the same 5 room at Bukit Panjang was going for almost 600K due to the up and coming MRT station. Think of the amount i could have made if i stick to my own decisions. These gals view things from their village perspective, totally irrelevant when it comes to investments in developed nations. After that, when i invest in properties, i make the final decision.

Wow u very good husband...can listen to bx advice.....I didnt know bx also can make alot of noise one.....2nd thought of getting a bx now...
