Land are aplenty in JB, properties aplenty too but those with good location, accessibility and amenities will always have value. Its only starting to be expensive and the bubble is only forming now, even those who are getting in now or just got in, they won't be too affected as prices have not gone so high up yet as its just starting to reach KL standards. With the money to buy a 3 room flat in SG, you can still get a very decent place in JB.
I've gotten lots of useful information from this thread and so am more than happy to do my part to contribute. Also it's a way of tracing our own personal experience
OK. Here's the sequence of monetary expenses we've had to fork out so far:
1. RM1000 as initial booking deposit to developer paid via SGD cheque on 1st visit.
2. 10% of property price (- RM1000) to developer for 1st payment via SGD cheque within 1 month of signing.
3. RM11000 (i.e. RM10500 levy + RM500 associated lawyer fees) via telex 2 weeks after that.
4. RM6+K for MLTA to insurance company via credit card same week as telex transfer (payment for 1st year, subsequent payments split to twice per year).
5. RM1000 (i.e. RM500 set up fee + RM500 initial deposit) to open savings account at Malaysian bank for depositing housing loan installments. Personally go down to bank to open account 2 weeks after loan approval.
Everything's pretty straightforward and no hidden costs at all so far.
Next expected outlay will be the 2nd payment of 10% to developer, maybe within 2 weeks from now? Also the monthly loan installments to confirm with bank when to start putting in. Will update soon
Ok, fun? I am sorry, i don't know of any though i have heard of Taman Sentosa area(pretty dodgy area)
There are also some pubs in the Sutera area near Kingston hotel.
how come 10% of property price is only RM 1000
Thanks for info.
Are the so-called pubs actually call chicken places with rooms on top ??
Maybe the way I phrased it isn't ideal. It's actually 10% minus the RM1000 we placed as deposit
I am not sure but we saw there are lots of ladies there.
I heard there are also some special massage areas but this is being a wholesome thread, i think it will be easier if you check through Sam's other website.
Hi Prof, agree on some points, especially for KL but they are not leaving JB out this time it seems.

Thanks... Could you give us more information such as did you buy intermediate or terrace. Whats the price like?
Yes Wuqi agree with you that they are leaving no stone unturned this time as far as JB is concerned. They have finally realised that Malaysia is not KL and KL is not Malaysia....
Its good Wuqi cause we all stand to benefit from any upswing in the real estate in JB
I purchased the corner lot. Our row has around 10 link house units, with 6 to 7 units from corner/end lot to another end lot. The price ranges around RM480-520K for corner lots. End lots can fetch around RM430+K and intermediate lots were priced at around RM390+K. From what I gather most if not all the corner lots have been sold.
We were told that sales is pretty slow at the moment due to the hungry ghost month and Ramadhan (and soon Hari Raya).
Btw they've already started building the next set of show houses (semi-D and units from Phase 8B) when we visited the sales office recently, but they couldn't tell us when the launch for those units will take place though.
