These are some considerations:
1. Many property developers were caught with their pants down when the govt announced cooling measures in the residential property market.
2. Just imagine, this development and Seastrand @Pasir Ris are offering more than their fair share of goodies!
3. Take Bartley Residences:
3.1. The 3% Early Bird Discount
By definition, early bird discount is given only to those who ......
3.2. 3% Stamp Duty Discount
Every other developer, today is offering this...
3.3. 2% District Discount / Move Closer Discount
I personally find this the most "humourous".
Some other developers I agree are offering those who stay close-by e.g. BoatHouse. But this is the first time I heard of a MOVE CLOSER DISCOUNT.
Not only one is moving closer. ONE is actually MOVING INTO the area! Hahahahaha!
4. As I mentioned earlier; another development; seems desperate: Seastrand @ Pasir Ris. Early this year, I visited the showroom. And the Far East staff said; the price would most likely increase next week.
5. 3 months back, I re-visted Seastrand @Pasir Ris, after having visited Sea Esta @Pasir Ris and to collect and find out more of a Can or cannot buy at another nearby EC = Watercolours.
5.1. The Seastrand Far East sales person gave additional perks like: Star buy discount; Seletar Country Club or convert to cash and some other perks.
6. In conclusion:
6.1. Most of the property investors have disappeared...
6.2. From now to before these properties TOP around 2015; due to the non-existant of major new developments; property prices for EXISTING homes will still be in demand...
6.3. Come 2015 onwards when all these new HDB (BTO's, ECs) and condos and private apartments TOP; I believe; property prices will dip by at least 20%. So much so for your property's worth in "paper value" only.
7. The only property prices in SGP that will continue to increase are still the fewer landed properties that continue to see crazy price increases...
8. In the event that the government cave-in from their FT (foreign talent) policy... this is another variable that can decide the value of all properties....
9. For sure, many who have booked a new condo unit just last year; I believe will continue to sweat in their pants... especially those who had purchased leasehold properties... already can see that they were not entitled to the 3% stamp duties and a year ago, they bought theirs for say "1.3 to 1.4 million" even now are seeing red... as these units fall to 1.1 million... already a loss of $100K to $200K in value....
10. The good news is ... when no one is bitting; I believe Bartley Residences will further reduce their prices...... and when this development TOP, there will still be no takers for some of the units.. if price is not reduced further.....

Facing both reduced field of buyers + competition from nearby (Watercolours - EC & Sea Esta)
Supply exceeds demand.....
It has been a long time since we hear of:-
1. "absorb" stamp duty
2. Pay upfront maintenance fees for the next 5 years
3. Give 9 year's country club membership or accept$15,000.00
4. Some units also got "STAR BUY" DISCOUNT..
Note: this quote was given sometime back; thus may not be valid anymore.... but I believe, for sure, prices are going to go down.. not up.....

[Cecil Lee]

Yes, yes, yes! I SOLD HIGH!
BUT Oops! I also purchased HIGH! *SUCKS*
No choice! If not, where am I gona stay?
Around 12 years ago... property developers gave away or absorbStamp Duty + some give furniture allowance....
Today, the gimmicks includes:-
1. Standard discount = 12%
2. Absorb Stamp Duty = 3%
3. Referral or previous owner of developer's property e.g. Far East = 1%+
4. Stay in near vicinity = 1%
5. Maintenance fees (6 months = Seletar Park; 5yrs Seastrand)
6. Renovation "voucher" = $10,000 or more
7. Also got: Move closer to what discount (Bartley Residences)
8. 9 yrs country club or $15,000
9. Others... God knows what else is free?
So, did I hear that the property boom is starting to crash? severly in 2016? With the elections looming... for sure... the government will not be giving away PR citizenship and importing foreign talents so freely..
Therefore... a huge property correction will be guaranteed during that period....

Government's latest cooling measures on property purchase - as of last Friday...
This round; there will be a wipe-out of investors.
Thus, in my opinion, there should be a price correction of around 10 percent by later 2013 (next year).
