Let me guess. First, it's s resale so you need to pay stamp duty , legal, loan fees, etc.
Owner probably bought at a low price so 488k is a good profit for him already.
And I think its a bumiputra unit. If not, they will price it at 500k so that foreigners can buy.

Hi

I do hear that some people gives rebates. Wonder how true

lastresort, euphony, vincent, jasonjst,
to share my opinion on this subject.. Iskandar is a natural progression of geography and common sense for both sides for mutual gain. It is really taking off now that the politicians have settled the nonsensical fake cross-border spat. See HK & Shenzhen. After so many years Hong Kong is still resided by many locals while indeed more rich Chinese & foreigners have invested in HK property. Both sides have benefited tremendously. Also many manufacturers ('ex-made in hong kong') moved to Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou, Zhuhai etc... but residing in HK still. In the meantime HK has become even more prosperous and a key global financial centre. Singapore & Iskandar will follow this with Singapore achieving its aspiration to be high tech high R&D design manufacturing and focus on financial services - and of course some casinos for rich people playground. Iskandar does not seek to compete - thus you see the recent Iskandar repositioning as complementary economy. JB benefit from the spillover of lower-end manufacturing but also relieve population pressure on the island. I cannot imagine Singapore having the super high condos common in HK. But seeing mickey mouse condo trend, maybe it will... along with all said above positives..

The only different is HK and Shenzhen is one country lor , hence HK gov dont really care about HK dollar out flow to Shenzhen . China will not mind HK doing well too .

Seeders are uploaders/contributors while leechers are downloaders..
Hence it would be better to get torrent where you have a higher seeder nos..
.
not too sure abt anonymous downloads.. maybe some techic bros here can help..

hi guys and mentors and legends and ladies. Long time no read and visit. 500++ post it has been.
You can try pagewash. Good for anonomus download and preview once restricted site. Strictly for mature audience.
I enjoy the tranquility and silence of the HH. But now opp me got 4 more neighbours and beside me got a African tenant coming. Not sure a threat r a treat.

All the best to your ventures. As for me I'm planning to retreat to Taiwan after 5yrs after visit the place. Cheap food cheap public transport. Cents compare to dollars in Singapore and very very exquisite and exotics and extremely talents girls. Not to mention diverse education documentaries.

I've not be able to thank u. Wuqi. When la kopi?

Sellers will definitely use whichever is bigger(either land or built-up) to show the psf as it'll appear cheaper.
However, it's up to the buyer to judge whether or not the selling price is reasonable.

Let's say both examples below are based on $1000psf;
1) Someone wants to sell his unit at $4.5 mil based on built-up. The land is smaller(say 3000sf) and built-up is bigger(4500sf), then it's quite reasonable to use built-up for psf.
2) If another one wants to sell his unit at $4.5 mil based on land size. The land is much bigger(4500sf) then the built-up which is really small(say 1500sf), then it's not reasonable to use land for psf.

If you like the 2nd unit, a more reasonable price would be for example, $1000psf for his built-up of 1500sf($1.5 mil) plus $500psf for his extra land of 3000sf($1.5 mil) which equals to a total of $3 mil.

Do be careful that for a given size of land , example 22 x70 plot , there is a max lawful allowable built up size . Anything bigger are usually unlawful , unless approved by gov .

If I am not mistaken, bro Yong Lip said before that there was 5 units left and price for smaller size had increased by 40K, the bigger unit increased by 10K. For this first phase, Bestari Height is building 168 units I thinks. if 5 units left, it means, more than 95% sold.

Hey Arsenal, we are looking at the exact same models. I call'em trucks(not sure their exact category). I've checked with used car dealers before, two year old ones selling at around RM70k. Not sure how much new ones cost. Since I'll only use them once a week at most, I intend to get a used one and leave it in Johor.

My advice is go for Toyota Hilux as I heard Mitsubisi Triton had engine oil leakage problem. Moreover, Hilux resale value is higher. Anyway, for brand new Hilux please check http://www.toyota.com.my/hilux/specs-and-price/. I'm also considering to get a brand new Hilux 3.0 or Fortuner 2.5G when I move to JB

Just wondering ,are we (Singaporean who own house in johor) allowed to own JB-registered car in Johor ?. Apprieciate it very much for sharing.

 

[arsenal]

I liked such car.. Turbo diesel, powerful and rugged.. Can put my bicycle behind and go off road... Reasonable price as well..

Also maybe can tow stolen vehicles from the thiefs back to the owner...
