中国炒房客赴马来西亚特区买房 紧挨新加坡赌升值

“或许马来西亚的房价也具备国内那样的上涨空间。”广州人王英(化名)说。一周之前,她还从没听说过依斯干达(Iskandar)这个地方。如今,王英在这里按照国内的投资思路买下了一套住房。这套房所在楼盘的营销口号是“新加坡旁的‘罗湖’”。

依斯干达位于马来西亚新山市,与新加坡隔海相望,是马来西亚政府划定的一块经济特区。今年“五一”假期,王英跟随一个从广州出发的看房团赴3000公里之外的依斯干达。在国内房地产投资受限之际,像王英这样从炒房中尝过甜头的投资客开始寻找国外房产的投资机会。

值得一提的是,依斯干达这一房地产项目的开发商是国内某大型上市房企。王英参加的看房团由该开发商组织,全程4天3晚,只要花3600元就能报名参加。显然,开发商对看房团的费用进行了补贴。王英觉得团费很划算。“就算不买房,去马来西亚玩一圈也不亏。”

从4月末开始,依斯干达每天都会迎来近300名来自中国的看房客,每个看房团会在这里逗留两天。他们可能是这个小城近期最主要的游客群体,当地唯一五星级酒店房间通常会被中国看房客住满。

到达马来西亚的第二天,开发商组织广州看房团到正在浇筑地基的项目现场参观,然后再到项目展示中心。展示中心的场景令王英感到非常熟悉:围观项目模型的看房者、四周穿梭的售楼员、醒目摆放的销控表、恭候在一旁的银行咨询处。这一切使王英感觉仿佛置身于国内常见的售楼处。

据该项目的华人售楼员介绍,目前新加坡的房价接近每10万元人民币/平方米,而王英所在看房团这次考察的项目与新加坡隔海相望,均价仅合1.5万元人民币/平方米。“未来依斯干达发展起来之后,会有大批新加坡人来这里工作、置业,到时您就可以做新加坡人的房东。买下这套房产后,还可以申请马来西亚政府的‘第二家园’计划,拥有10年的马来西亚居留权,享受一系列权利。”

在王英这样的投资客心中,通过房产实现资产保值增值是牢不可破的观念。依斯干达项目的中国开发商自然深谙这种心理,升值空间是整个项目展示中心的关键词。诸如新加坡旁的“罗湖”、“政府焦点发展区域”的语句在展示中心随处可见。

虽然1.5万元人民币/平方米的均价在当地算不上便宜,但从看房到交纳认筹金,王英做出决定只用了一个小时。在看房团中,像王英这样的投资客不在少数。当天这一项目成交50多套,其中,一名来自广东的投资客认购了5套。在“五一”假期,项目一期首批推出的700套房源已有300多套与来自中国的投资客签订了认筹书。

“现在国内楼市限购政策执行得很严,我们都没有买房资格。我仍然认为房地产是最合适的投资方向,看到这个具备升值空间的项目,我就决定先买一套。”王英表示,就目前的调控力度而言,国内房价至少近期不会大涨,而与国内相比,依斯干达的房价还处于“洼地”。

中国的投资客正按着国内的投资惯性看多海外房产,但由于市场环境不同,复制国内的投资经验似乎不容易。马来西亚对住宅预售的规定较国内宽松,刚刚冒出地基的项目就可以预售,中国投资客认筹后即将缴纳二成首付款。王英所在的看房团中,多数投资客对于收楼后如何管理离家3000公里的房产并没有计划,他们期望刚买下的房能像前几年国内的房产那样快速增值。

不过,当地人对房价的看法比中国投资客更冷静。依斯干达所处的新山市人口仅180万,虽然近年新山房价开始看涨,但当地人并没有投资房产的习惯。一位当地的华人对中国证券报记者表示:“近年来新山的高层住宅开始多了起来,但本地人还是习惯住有院落和车库的联排别墅,一套普通的200平方米左右的联排别墅折合人民币不到200万元。至于高层住宅,新加坡人和中国人可能是主要购买者。”  □本报记者 张昊

Might be as some have their own businesses or projects and may be working in that sense.
 
For those interested in d'Residences , I went to take a look at the site. There's no showflat yet, just a site. Its next to 1Medini and doesnt seem far from Kota Iskandar. There are some palm trees on the site, forma former palm oil estate. I dont really know what this means in terms of location. As Medini will have several launches , am hoping someone can enlighten us about differences in location within Medini. I heard Medini has its own internal zones- A, B ,C etc. This project is in Zone A. Of course Medini( the whole area) is in Zone B, Nusajaya.

I&P plans 3 new townships in Klang, Iskandar Malaysia

I&P, a wholly-owned unit of Permodalan Nasional Bhd, has 2,000ha under its belt and 13 ongoing township projects in the Klang Valley and Johor Baru. I&P Group managing director Datuk Jamaludin Osman said I&P is in the midst of planning two new townships in Iskandar Malaysia, Johor, and one in Klang, Selangor.
I&P owns 133.2ha in Tanjung Kupang, a small village near Nusajaya in Gelang Patah, which is connected to Singapore via the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link. It also owns 360ha in Ulu Tiram, a town in Johor Baru that is accessible via Tebrau Highway and Senai-Desaru Expressway.
Plans are being made to develop the plots of land in Tanjung Kupang and Ulu Tiram. Several options are being studied, including a mixed integrated project with high-end product offerings, Jamaludin said.
He said he is bullish on prospects for the proposed projects, adding that they may start in the next one to two years.
"We are mulling over several catalytic projects to form part of the township in Ulu Tiram and boost its potential. Tanjung Kupang, meanwhile, is situated near Singapore, which is one of the main markets we are targeting," Jamaludin said.
In Klang, I&P owns 160ha in Meru and development plans have been submitted to the authorities for approval. The company aims to launch the project by 2015.
"We are not resting on our laurels. We are planning new developments to diversify our earnings. "We are also launching new phases within our current townships, depending on marketability. We will be cautious as we do not want margins to be squeezed," he said.
For fiscal year 2009, I&P's group revenue was RM1.07 billion with a pre-tax profit of RM263.41 million for a profit margin of 24.5 per cent.
Last year, the company's revenue was about RM1.14 billion with a pre-tax profit of RM378.25 million, resulting in a profit margin of 33 per cent.

Thanks. Will there be residential in all the zones?
 
Anyone heard or keen on Jelita Heights, heard its a development by the owner of YS Hamper, etc. One of my friends just bought a while back.
This is for industrial property (factory units)

Likely to be for all except the Business area.

Thanks. That means we need to compare locations but on the other hand, later launches are likely to be higher priced. Any thoughts on this, which zones may be better for residential, I mean within Medini?

Hi Bro Wuqi, it's cheap compared to its neighbour, Setia Business Park, but personally I feel I-Parc by Mah Sing would be a safer bet.......
