property agents are stupid
Agent: This project is walking distance to Boon Keng MRT.
Me: Where exactly is this project located?
Agent: Oh.. St Michael's Road.
Me: That's not walking distance.
Agent: I don't know if you are familiar with St Michael's Road?
Me: Yes, I am.
Agent: Erm this project is just behind One St Michael's, so you walk to the main road take you three minute, walk to the MRT station from the main road take you about five minute.
Me: No, I've walked from One St Michael's and it takes at least 10 minutes to get to the station.
Agent: Depend on how fast you walk. For me, I walk quite fast. Because life is fast-paced. For us, for property agents, we must walk fast.
Me: ....
You can have all these grand predictions about when the market is going to fall and make big plans to buy at the low point, but the truth is, when you have to buy, you have to buy. Just close your eyes and pick a freehold project, next to an MRT station, in an area near to the city with some upside potential. We're going to see One Leicester on Sunday, hopefully that's the answer!
