Living in JB

[lastresort]

28/12 , Today I am 1 yr older Liao, am so glad that I bought a house in jb as a present to myself.
As I was sitting at mac this afternoon, am feeling very gd n observed e ppl around me. I never feel so eased before , no need worry my iPad or valuables will be snatched etc. If I am in sentosa , I won't dare to walk around or use my iPad openly.

Happy birthday ah tiong!

Oh yah just recalled. There is also park view (3 story semi d - 650k there about - freehold). And upcoming apartment call botanica. Leasehold tho.

Thanks! I'll look into these names in these couple of days as have free time.

NI was the 1st Taman that I came across when I first started looking around last year and was quite tempted with the semi-Ds near to the wooded area but in the end, I opted for condos and shoplots as I'm looking at investments at this point in time, keep for rental and retirement purposes as I dont think we could commute daily while working fulltime in Spore - too lazy, haha and too much regional traveling for work, just not feasible.

Good luck with NI, may your DREAM come true!

Thanks bro.

Higher class developments are elita (left only lower units when I asked 3 weeks ago), the marina view ( next to straits view and priced comparable to elita) but very nice, senibong, straits view residents, sapphire 8 in seri Alam, park view, and supposed to be another called the lake hill city, with intention of an upcoming Japanese village. I visited all of them, except the lake hill. When I asked about sapphire 8 2 weeks ago, the agent said the launch will be a week later. If u want early bird, u might still get it. Call and enquire anyway. Park view give big space for decent price albeit the location is further in from the coastal road. Happy hunting and thanks for your best wishes! :-)

Have you considered Senibong Cove which is right after Straits View? Quite a big project with a number of sea view units. I've been there a couple of times but not too keen overall. You might differ, so do check it out if you haven't.

Oh, thought Senibong Cove is near to Leisure Farm! Will check it out, thanks.
I usually take 2nd Link, as I try to avoid the city jams, so not familiar with the East part of JB.

Btw, does anyone here have a few JB property agents names to recommend?
Looking for someone who's reliable, knowledgeable, honest, not bullshit kind and look to work longterm.
I'm looking at both buying and renting out.
Please PM me if convenient, thank you.

Re: causeway link bus

Speculation - these developers, they seem to have a "code of conduct" among themselves... KSL look at IJM look at SP Setia look at UEM, etc... they cannot suka suka "down" the price barring catastrophy like a meteorite strike (touch wood) or some itchy fingers press the ICBM button in North Korea... Look at City Dev look at Keppel land look at etc... they even sent a "representative" to speak to KBW ask him dun kachou the real estate by intro cooling here coolin there...very daring.

If one move to down the price, it will lead to a cascading effect and that guy will "spoil market"...then during chinese new year gathering, ppl don't give him face so who dares, may not win.

hmmmm especially so for a small area like Nusajaya dominated by a few big ones. so far they have not deliberately reduced price, at most increase discount by a small margin.

U not cheena meh? Ah tiong sounds cool leh hehe

Thanks, ah Tiong sounds very cheena leh.

Hey last resort , u r in fb hh group right? Perhaps u can help to copy e link over?
Are u Nicholas ?

 

[maxpark]

Crystal Tiong, Happy Birthday! Hope you one year older, one year wiser....

Dont quite understand why you jumped at Lord Aragorn for talking about Straits View?
So what if he is an agent..., if he is, in the first place?
Agents cannot say anything here meh?
Everyone here naturally has own vested interest, agendas or pet peeves, whatever... and thats what makes a community forum lively and interesting.
I say live and let live...

Strange that you dont think Wuqi is also an agent or find him terribly annoying since he is a 101% Bull on HH! hahaha...
Chill and Cheers!

Re: causeway link bus

Hi Investor,

You don’t need to clarify yourself, we all know you meant well.

To me, the administrator was being presumptuous and was rude to have used such condescending tone on you - totally uncouth!. He was behaving like a bully towards you! This thread was moving along fine with everyone here being very cordial and friendly with each other.

I find his response to you very abrasive, and it leaves a very bitter after-taste to those of us witnessing this. Such display of arrogance - someone should give him a slap on the wrist. But then, he owns this forum and he can do or write whatever he pleases, including banning people who gives him the slightest annoyance. Sam Leong needs to grow up!

I wish everyone here well and to those still searching for their dream house the very best of luck.

Bro ODYSSEY,
Thank you very much for your long and supportive post

Haha, actually Sam's reply considered quite 'courteous' liao... but anyway, for old-timers who know his chao-kuan, these days he seemed to be a changed man, judging from his recent posts elsewhere, almost unrecognisable... full of praise of PAP, shocking, haha!

Re: causeway link bus

easier to decide. HH is straight 30k booking fee. haha

Till today i still do not know if this is strictly non-refundable like what the HH staff told me?? The other developments are all refundable, most levy RM500 admin charge in the event of backing out

The cove is rather smelly and i have no confidence at all if they will ever clean up the river. The involvement of an Australian developer isn't any comfort. Straits View Residences is a lot nicer especially the 2 storey high ceiling ones... but then... you have to drive past a very "local" vicinity before entering the place. In other words, there is potentially a huge security issue

Re: causeway link bus

hahaha.. maybe cause somebody posted my photo and quoted me on the FB page. That's why I never join such groups, later see familiar faces there.. I know there's a book writer on malaysia property even used my photo from FB.. lol
