Ummm, seriously? I barely just bought my unit, but I will cash out instantly if so lol. That kind of price is absolutely absurd.
Boss, urs also superlink?
OMG - If I understand correctly what they have written about this - there is no choice for the ppl using the causeway! the toll booth will be located near/in the CIQ. So, irregardless if you wish to use the EDL or the Tebrau way - you gotta pay, the moment you pass thru the CIQ!
Those that do not need to pay are ppl using the EDL without hitting the causeway! The changes from 2.90RM currently to 9 bucks..if I am not mistaken....much more expensive than Tuas! knn!!
Normally i use the causeway rather than Tuas, if this is true better have to think twice already....
reminds me of the newbie PRs that comes in to buy HDB flats in the last few years. They do not know what is the actual market price and just pay whatever the owner is asking cos when they compare SG with other major cities like Beijing or Shanghai, still cheap. They forgot to compare SG to SG. In the process, these PRs spoil the market and drive up the price resulting in many Singaporeans turning to BTO.
I think at this rate, it will be no time before M'sian govt intro more cooling measures like raising the min to RM750K for foreigners...
Hush yonglip bro, I'm in the process of putting my own unit up for sale, don't want you giving them strange ideas as to how much they should or shouldn't pay for it lol.
I see your point. Fact of the matter is, as far as property goes, or any other asset class for that matter, any objective analysis will reveal upside or downside possibilities, regardless of prevailing market conditions.
Best one can do is take the data in and come to a decision.
I am very bullish about the long-term prospects for southern Johor, but very sceptical about property prices everywhere in East Asia and Australia for the short term.
At the transacted prices you mention, it simply appears to me that prices have run up too fast, and too quickly. Unsustainably so for the short term.
Lol, but then again, I've been reading this thread in full and I noticed scepticism about rising prices here in Nusajaya from 2 years ago. *shrug* Who really knows till well after it happens?
ANyway I'm buying for immediate occupation, so I guess it doesn't really matter to me right now which way they go.
I think some Sporeans are crazy
They forgot why Sporeans are moving to JB in the 1st place. No wonder the Malaysians are complaining of high prices in JB.
Hey, tis is good news for u Teck! But I know u wouldnt, at least for now....lol. Tis is good news to all who had already vested in HH. Avelc, mia tu liao!
Hey HH, where do you check caveats lodged for Johor properties?
I also think it's only a matter of time before Msia govt introduces cooling measures like raising the bar to 750k.
Hey odyssey, have to shop around leh, I'm just a humble buyer, buy property have to work out sums & choose area, not masak masak like buying toys... Going to Puteri Harbour & maybe Bukit Indah this weekend.
The new super-link in the Hill is selling at 820k, if a super-link is sold at 1.1m, then i think it's either
1)The unit is the special super-link terrace (only 8 unit at the golf) with good golf view, i saw one such corner terrace asking for 1.4m
2)All of the terrace priced at 820k is sold out ( which is possible bcoz there are only a few units left 2 weeks ago but i know they will open up more)
Either way, this is a great news!

Based on the report today, you are bloody right....

i am really and truly puzzled...why coastal highway can be free while they have to charge on EDL????...
if the toll really takes effect, i think we can expect to see a more balanced traffic load on both links..which may not necessarily be a bad thing...
cheers.
if thats the case, what has the increase in toll got anything to do with the EDL?
it appears that they are just finding a reason to increase the toll... crap man....
its more likely a move to liven up kota iskandar. put a toll on that route and nobody will find a reason to go and become a white elephant situation?

I'm thinking will the SG side follow the pricing change? If so it'll be a significant amount for daily commuters plus weekend day trippers looking for some savings across to JB. That'll kill a lot of cash cows in 1 stone and a political suicide for the incumbent. I suspect they'll judge the backlash and then shy away from the drastic decision. History shows similar flamboyant moves almost never takes...
Agreed. Especially with the general election soon.
Yes lah, it is not EDL toll fee but CIQ toll fee.
They are smart also to prevent the EDL becoming white elephant. Since need to pay might as well use.
I think toll fee would be increased to RM6.20 from rm2.90 now.
A return trip would cost about s$6.50 inclusive sg toll.
One month 20 working days would be s$130.
If it can effectively reduce jam and redistribute traffic between tuas and woodlands, actually not too bad considering the many other savings from housing, food, petrol, etc.
But I worry their CIQ counters never expand and so back to square 1.
Hey guys, sorry i'm back. Need to rush my work so i will be brief on my cents.
All about pricing:
I don't think the pricing for the entry fees for Lego land is feasible.
For the first link pricing, even implemented, i don't think this will remain for long once they realise its not feasible.
For HH, i am really surprised, i had thought it would be slow and steady growth and not as fast as its doing, it should
remain reachable at least for a time.
As for people who always tell me that there is no corruption, people don't die in the streets in Singapore, please refer to this:

Actually this seems to be their long term plan, to starve the JB side of things it seems and divert the hustle and bustle to the 2nd link area.
