Living in JB 3 (Johore)

[Sammi888]

Many or not many, I’m not sure. I’ve met quite a few Singaporean families with kids in international schools in Iskandar Puteri.

One Singaporean family I met recently just opened a butchery at Eco Boulevard. Parents send all their 3 kids to one of the most expensive international schools in Iskandar Puteri. Depending on ages of their 3 kids, school fees alone for all 3 of them can be somewhere between SGD7,000 to SGD13,000 Per Month, paid from own pockets (not company).

Instead of Singaporean families, there are actually a lot more Korean and Chinese(China) families who have moved to Iskandar Puteri lately. Most of them moved here just to send their kids to international schools. Apart from them, many caucasian expats residing here are working in Singapore, same as locals who reside here in Iskandar Puteri. Some of them (expats and locals) work here in Iskandar Puteri.

Thanks for sharing

JB’s high-rise residences’ vacancy rate expected to hit above 50% this year

BY RACHEL CHEW of EdgeProp.my

KUALA LUMPUR: The vacancy rate of Johor Baru’s high-rise residences is expected to hit above 50% for the first time in 2019, said CBRE|WTW Johor Baru director Tan Ka Leong.
During his presentation of the Johor Baru real estate market outlook at the launch of the CBRE|WTW Asia Pacific Real Estate Market Outlook 2019 Ma-
laysia report yesterday, Tan pointed out that the 2019 market outlook for high-end, high-rise residential in Johor Baru will remain challenging.
“Generally, all the property segments in Johor Baru were horizontal in 2018. Landed residential property transaction volume was down 20% while high-rise residential property transactions dropped 50% last year. There were also fewer high-end residential transactions in 2018,” Tan noted.
He added that some 10,500 units of incoming supply will be added to the high-rise residential market in 2019. “That translates into about 10% of the existing 102,851 units. I foresee prices and rents moving downwards in 2019 and for the first time, the vacancy rate will break through the current 50% resistance level in 2019,” Tan shared.
The situation is just as bad with the purpose-built office and retail sectors in Johor Baru.
Tan said there is currently 5.84 million sq ft of purpose-built office space in Johor Baru and in 2019, some 928,000 sq ft or 16% additional space will be added to the market.
Tan also expected the vacancy rate for purpose-built office space to rise from the current 26% to 35% in 2019.

With that 93-year old bastard in rule and with his continued vengeance against the Johor's Royal family, things can only get worse going forward. Since he doesn't even say a word of condemnation regarding his PPBM party's Johor Chief Minister about the latter's intrusion into Singapore's maritime border, it therefore clearly demonstrates how that bastard is adamant in sabotaging the relations between Johor and Singapore without a care nor concern for the people and the economy of Johor. This is the type of selfish ruler who will put his self-interests first before his people.

In Johor, the maintenance work of condo is a huge problem. For smaller scale and not so upclass one, it is a much bigger problem. If the condo is well maintained, then i think people will flock in to buy. It a vicious cycle down the road, condo MC corrupted. People don;t want to pay fee. If people are not willing to pay, the MC said that no one is paying and he got no money to maintain the property.

I don't know about Johor, but in KL, I was told that if owners don't pay their maintenance fees, when the time will come for them to sell their unit, the MC has the power to prohibit the sale of the unit until all the owed money with incurred interests are recovered.

But who wants to buy into a condo with no or minimum maintanence ? It's a very risky business to own a condo in Malaysia,Johor.
I don't know about Penang. But i think penang is quite ok.

Building maintenance overall in JB is quite substandard. Look at all the major shopping malls up keeping, their toilets' cleanliness, etc. all due to poor working attitude and supervision. Same story in most condos, worse with tenants not paying their fees regularly

 

[congo9]

These m&ds are capable to build nice condos. But when it comes to maintaining. It goes down the drain.

From this https://www.facebook.com/groups/jbtraffic/ website. It gives a lot of useful information, including many videos on JB traffic, particularly between JB & Sg. Bookmark it if you find it useful.
