malpaso is so clever. my thoughts exactly. if its cheap, it is worth a punt. if its not cheap, better to spend the money on nite clubs.

Pasir Ris may be over supplied for now. But at least one international school will move into the neighbourhood in due course. Rental demand will go up. Just wait and see.

As for landed in JB, it baffles me why Singaporeans will want to risk so much for a landed. It is suppose to be your home. A sanctuary from the evils of the outside world. It is not a sanctuary if you cant protect it, which is the reason why every Singaporean son serves NS. A JB landed can never be my sanctuary unless the Sultan will rent me his private army. But if I can afford his private army, I might as well buy a bigger landed in SG.

Because my home was burglared when I was living overseas, I am paranoid with security, which is also the reason why I wont buy a house in JB. Unless I have 4 sons who are as brave and strong as me, I cant effectively protect my house from burglars. Burglary is scary because it can be done when you are sleeping. Totally defenceless. Robbery - at least you have a fighting chance or running chance if you prefer. Anyway, to me, its just too much stress to enjoy the property.

Actually I got a whole lot more to write, but I need to cut my nails now.

-- strictly my opinon!--
i disagree as singapore is blue chip property investment compare to JB, and developments in singapore have more sustainability moving forward, as the development matures. pasir ris condo like ripple bay is minutes walk from cinema (showing movies that are not censored), downtown east, beach, .. near to world class transport, with a well educated neighbourhood and good jobs nearby, good schools, university, and no need to fight causeway jam for 2 hours or more every day. in malaysia, you don't really sure what may happen to the neighbourhood in 5 year, 10 year, 15 year time. may be good, may be bad. But if it's CHEAP, it's worth to try. Once it's no longer cheap, the push for buying jb house evaporates.

To be honest, as a true blue Singaporean, it baffles me why Singaporeans want to pay sky high prices for a condo in JB, when you can get a landed for the same or lower price. Are condos really that secured compared to landed?

There's maintenance issues of the building facade (MY condos known for poor maint), and crimes can be committed by tenants themselves, or in the underground carparks where it is most dangerous. With alarms, CCTVs and gd security guards, is it really that easy to break into G&G MY landed compared to condos?

Just one man's view. Take it with a pinch of salt. Haha

 

[1nottiboy]

Taken with a pinch of salt. Totally respect that view.

ceteris paribus, its definitely, easier to defend a condo unit than a house. 20 floors up and only a door as the only point of entry versus 30x80 feet of perimeter with at least 2 doors and multiple windows, not mention the 2nd floor is accessible with an ordinary ladder, landed is definitely harder to secure. if you have done your camp guard duty during your NS, you would know that 6 men cant be stationed at all points along the fence. anyway, there is nothing to gain from winning this debate, I can accept your view.

Condo prices in JB are not sky high. depending on what you buy, RM600 for bare unit or RM1,000 (as of Jan 2013) for partially fitted unit is very affordable. RM600 psf really sky high? for a Singaporean? Really? RM600 psf still comes with common facilities of swimming pool and gym room and BBQ pit/s.

Another reason why condo is good cos once my car enters the car park, my ktv gal can be quickly whisked away into the lift and straight away into the apartment. In G&G landed, there is no gate outside the house and there is no garage to park the car. The moment the girl comes out, ALL YOUR NEIGHBOURS can see. Then this is truly dangerous.

LOL on the KTV gals. No one ask u to buy strata-titled G&G landed mah..... Buy individual titled G&G landed and you can fence up anyway you want. You can even demolish the entire house to build a super garage cum house. But I also respect your views on condo security, which is a common perception among Singaporeans (not PR & locals though).

Anyway in time to come, the free market will decide whose viewpoint is right. At this moment, it's semi-d & bungalows which are leading the price rise though....

PS: For condos, I quite like V @ summerplace and Sky Suites @ Meldrum. Would seriously consider buying for cap appreciation, if only they are priced ard RM 750 psf...

what about nusa idaman ? cheaper and quite nearby amenities also, and build quality ok? i saw the houses from outside, frankly speaking, they look as nice or actually nicer than BI house.

Its maybe unfair for me to say this without proper research but i have checked the nusa idaman thread here and i think the taman is let down by presence of a surau and lax security it seems.

True, two week ago went setia office signed Rhb offer letter cum payment for state consent application; setia sale staff said 3 unit of D' flore returned as the loan application disapproved. And setia increase it to RM1.5 M despite of the all time Rm1.3 M.
BI cluster house pricing higher than surrounding tamans and yet D flore sold out very fast; even Malaysian lot all taken, is not easy to attract the Malaysian buyer unless the value is assured. Good news for BI house owner.

 

[cascadia]

hope the landscaping will be nice....

-to my understading!p
there is no such thing as 'international lot' designation by authorities (ie land office). it's just bumi, non bumi , or malay reserved land. international lot, as i understand it, is a term coined by developers, and it means 'this lot is above 500,000RM and is non bumi, and we haven't hit our xx% foreighner quota in sales, thus foreigner is allowed to buy". someone correct me if wrong.

 

[sotong007]

As Sg buyers dont bother with the 1+1 unit, as may not get state approval. Even if asking price above 500k, if valuation of the state is lower just wasted a lot of time. Go for the 2+1 as valuation definately above 500k (abt 650k)

Better yet get the big units 3+1 at 800k that one sure pass state approval. Better act fast, rumours of inc min purchase price to 1 mil with inc state levy been circulating for few months, if really come into affect, no chance to get cheap units
