The Estuary @ Yishun






Went to The Estuary showflat on Sunday. It's not that we're thinking of buying a unit, but just for fun and to satisfy our curiosity. We have been wanting to go for ages, but can't find the time to do it.
-
There wasn't many people in the showflat and we were thinking that all those agents will be targeting on us. It's really not a nice experience when you are not a serious buyer. Anyway, my father seems to have fun, playing the role of a potential buyer while my brother and I were snickering behind.
-
Wow, is the model grand! I'm always in love with those extremely detailed models on housing and what not. The street lights and miniature cars even have lights on! The function rooms have these cute chairs and tables and gym has these equipment made out from paper.
-
Oooo, I can gushed about them all day. I once watched a show where they show all those professionals working on one of these models project.
-
Even if we harbour the thought of buying a unit in a private condominium, there's no chance of us buying one here because most of the units are already sold. God, are these people rich or what? One 3-room unit costs at least S$1,000,000.
-
My father told the agent we are looking for a 4-room unit, but those are already sold. All that's left are some 2-room units and a couple of low level 3-room units. My father can breath a sigh of relief as he can don't need to act. For a condo whose selling point is on the magnificent view of the lower Seletar Reservoir, the low level units would not be a hit.
-
I enjoy going to showflats as the designs and furnishings are inspiring. I just love the feel. If we could buy and live in the showflat, now that would be great. I know there are people out there who treat viewing showflats as a hobby.
-
The rooms are small actually, but that is nothing new in the industry nowadays. Prices going up, while floor area is going down. Well, it's during these moments that I am glad that we have our house.
-
It's great fun, indeed. Harmless fun, but we don't think of getting one.
