Living in JB 3 (Johore)

ok. how much u paid for it ? e eateries nearby not so exciting . not very vibrant there.

$610k Type C.

Never have e time to explore e eateries shops in JB. Juz buying for excitement Both sides seem v popular w locals n Singaporeans. Tt is all I need to know.

 

[graveyard]

Correct. But must buy soon, otherwise a lot of Singaporean will be price out too....

RM1 million is SGD$400,000. Not many Singaporean can stomach it.

It will build a strong base at RM1,000,000 before price advance upward again. Just like Penang.

Yes, though many bros here have moved over to JB for good, i suspect majority of Sporeans are not yet ready to move and want to minimize investment in JB due to perceived risks involved. Not many will be willing to throw 400K into Iskandar

Plenitude at Tebrau.

Talked to Plenitude sales guy before. He told me Desaru will be the next big thing...

Any development is good as long as they are not overly done and make the place too urbanised.

Heard of Mt Austin but I didnt have the time to explore. From the map it looks like 5 min drive from Tebrau.

This is true but the new cooling measures introduced on Friday have robbed most middle class of the ability of going for a second property. And we all know that properties are a great hedge against inflation which will rear its ugly head in the next 2 years.

I think Singapore will look outside its borders. While not necessarily Iskandar will benefit from it, the proximity of the region does give certain comfort as compared to Australia, UK or even US.

Inflation is a real problem. I realize my RM50 can buy me lesser and lesser stuffs everytime i go back to JB :( AU/UK/US too far for Sporeans to monitor .. JB is just right. Can drop by anytime and over weekend

Not required to pay e agt fee. Just take it that they're the acting developer.

ok ,is there any other fees that i have to prepare beside the downpayment ,like beside mrta and the state approval fee n how much would that be? sorry for questions just worried for the extra costs .

 

[curiouscat]

Shopping questions, where are good places to buy

1) futon
2) custom made suit (not too expensive)
3) cushions for wicker furniture

Quick simple guide for u:
Bank camp:
Bank loan + legal fee + stamp fee + (misc)
MRTA is under bank loan (optional)
fire insurance

Developer camp:
Free legal fee (they also have lawyer here), disbursement fee, .. (Check with developer if they provide free package (normally got one la))
State approval fee -> ~ 11K (for foreigner only)
