狮城护航依区富中求稳
20/05/15

作者/来源:南洋商报 http://www.nanyang.com

首相拿督斯里纳吉刚结束新加坡官方访问,两国对多项建议达致共识,且一些之前提出的概念,如今更加具体。对两国的经贸和友好关系,这是一大里程碑,对房地产而言,同样是一个重要因素。

柔佛是离新加坡最近的州属,理应是最先受惠的据点。

趁着马新火辣蜜月之际,我们透过房产顾问公司威廉氏、达哈与王私人有限公司(CH Williams Talhar&Wong,简称WTW)的报告,看清楚柔州房地产未来走势。

纵然房地产市场自去年以来似乎淡静很多;但在南马柔佛州,却仍有不俗的支撑。

业者皆认为,有“新加坡因素”与依斯干达特区互相扶持,柔州产业市场未来前景依然乐观;唯一的不确定因素,是买家偿还房贷的能力。

WTW对此有更深入的诠释和解读。

新加坡因素一直是激励柔佛经济,尤其是零售和房地产的重要考量。

如今,两国首领刚结束官方会谈,多项建议和构思有了更具体的雏型,尤其是隆新高铁计划(HSR)的项目和马新捷运系统(RTS)。虽然说,隆新高铁会比原来预计的时间延迟两年,直至2022年才能完工,但长远效应却是难以估计。

依斯干达特区的发展获“新加坡因素”加持,业者皆认为,是决定柔州房地产势头的导因。

外资项目逾半数落实

展望未来,房产顾问公司威廉氏、达哈与王私人有限公司(CH Williams Talhar & Wong,简称WTW)认为,柔佛州除了公寓,大量有地住宅也会在不久的将来推出市场。

该公司提供的《2015年产业报告》指出,政府打房措施已近尾声,而且外资项目逾半数已落实的利好因素护航,柔内房价预料将保持温和增长。

有利的“新加坡因素”包括,未来会落实的马新捷运系统、隆新高铁计划、2014年4月两国建议兴建名为友谊桥的第三座大桥,以及新加坡多间官联公司过去陆续进驻特区投资,增加私人界和企业的信心。

市场饱和需谨慎

但该报告综合各类产业走势,要求投资者深思市场存在许多不确定因素,需要谨慎观察特区的可持续发展。报告提到,不久后许多新单位将建竣,买家能否从市场获得足够的租金回报,以支付贷款,以及转售市场是否已饱和,皆值得关注。

投资成本比狮城低66%

实际来看,新加坡投资者在依特区设厂成本相当低。

在新加坡,60年工业产业租赁,每平方尺成本约475至550令吉(190至220新元),但在特区投资永久产业,尺价却只需300至330令吉,便宜58%至66%。

此外,比起新加坡高昂的产业市场趋势,特区更吸引新加坡顾客和外资,作为他们首选的投资地点。

中小企转移生产线

这两年,更多新加坡中小企业有意转移生产线到柔州,相中的便是我国土地成本和新加坡的差距,足以直接影响他们的盈利和赚幅。

不久前,新加坡政府更号招更多中小企业往依区迁移,同时该国中小企业公会也积极扮演搭桥角色,协助愿意迁厂的会员公司到大马来扎根。

去年有地房产占82%

去年,新山的有地房产供应持续扩大至28万6809单位,以排屋居多,占总数的82%。

WTW统计,近期即将竣工的有地房产预计会有4万579单位,占现有供应的14%,而排屋依然最多,有3万692单位。去年,双层排屋平均二手价为每平方尺285令吉,相较2013年的交易价,增长了19%。新山建于比较早期的住宅区,例如彩虹花园的双层排屋最高转售交易价达每平方尺360令吉,其次是柏伶花园和实达英达,平均转售价为每平方尺250令吉。

新排屋售价增16%

报告显示,新建的屋业计划如武吉英达、五福城市和浩然山庄的双层排屋,去年的售价介于每平方尺360至400令吉,比前年增长16%。大部分新兴屋业计划属于围篱与保安式发展。另一方面,双层半独立交易价也取得7%的增长,相较2013年的每平方尺500令吉增长至530令吉。

其中,浩然山庄和East Ledang双层半独立的二手价最可观,每平方尺770令吉和700令吉,相较其他地区类似房产二手成交价仅每平方尺450至550令吉。

二手屋也受追捧

新项目方面,浩然山庄的双层半独立价位介于550至660令吉,远离城市的古来太子城,价位则介于270至340令吉。

整体而言,新兴屋业计划房价上涨趋势皆出现新的水平,一些既定的旧有住宅单位也收追捧。更多发展商配合政府,在未来推出更多可负担房屋。

晋身国际都市

从经济层面而言,依区已经从一开始的愿景变为现实。WTW报告形容,柔佛经济增长出色,以各州排名来看只位居雪兰莪和吉隆坡之后,排在第三。

依斯干达发展局发布的数据,依区已经实现和到位的资金已有50.6%。外国投资者的涌入,成功把道地产业市场晋升为国际市场,新楼盘以高收入群为目标。外国发展商的项目方面,锁定本身国家和新加坡客源。其中,过去几年由中国发展商大展拳脚的投资项目,就吸引新加坡顾客抢购。

3年内增10.7万公寓

公寓依然是柔州供需最大的住宅种类,但随着更多两至三年前推出的楼盘陆续建竣,州内新公寓单位供应更大。

WTW估计到2017/2018年,达到约10万7000个单位。

根据记录,地方政府2009年至2014年首季,已经批准7万6000个公寓单位。

但若以成交行情来看,公寓去年的表现稍有降温。

新屋多认购率减40%

WTW指出,去年新推公寓单位的认购率只达到了60至70%,相较于2011至2013年的产业蓬勃时期,去年首季的认购率减少了30至40%。

“公寓领域会面临更大挑战,尤其更多新单位会在未来数个月到一年内完成。”

WTW认为,公寓市场可否持续性与乐观,胥视租金回报是否足以应付贷款,以及转售市场是否已饱和。

自发展商承担利息计划(DIBS)取消后,新房产项目只需缴付小额头期。

若相关项目未来两三年建竣,关键的问题将出现,即持有这些新产业的本地与外国买家、投机者或产业行家,有没有能力偿还相关贷款。

加激业主出租竞争

今年新公寓供应(普通公寓、高级公寓与服务公寓)比去年稍增加,这同时也加激了业主想出租的竞争。

国家房产资讯中心(NAPIC)的报告指出,今年新供应有3万1322新单位,比去年小增2.15%。

根据产业服务及估价局(JPPH)记录,还有3万7632单位在施工中,在未来一至三年会建竣。

WTW报告数据则显示,将建竣单位以服务式公寓占多数。此外,共管公寓二手交易价,从2013年的每平方尺400令吉,增长至2014年的每平方尺450令吉,涨幅12.5%。

马迪尼6办公楼100%出租

截至今年第一季,柔州办公楼出租市场需求增加,楼面8万平方尺的办公楼为租户首选。其中,位于马迪尼6的办公楼100%的出租率,当地租价每平方尺4.50令吉,写下最高租率。

发展商已经展开马迪尼7计划,推出4层楼高、面积14万平方尺的租赁单位,预计2015年中竣工。

整体而言,办公楼去年的空置率约25%,截至去年第二季,新山办公楼总面积累积870万平方尺,其中33%是政府所有。

新山市主要办公楼租金保持在每平方尺2.80令吉至3.50令吉,其他地点的办公楼价位介于每平方尺1.80令吉至2.50令吉。

零售空间空置率约25%

WTW指出,新山零售空间截至去年累计1370万平方尺,整体空置率约25%。

“新山市中心主要购物广场零售空间,租金保持在每月每平方尺27令吉。”

其中,新山城市中心广场(KOMTAR JBCC)于去年第三季启用,提供41万平方尺零售空间,开业时已有70%认租率,主要租客包括马莎百货(Marks&spencer)和室内愤怒鸟主题乐园。

连锁餐厅进驻碧桂园

另外,城边高密度发展项目碧桂园,区内的零售空间于去年第一季开放,总面积约8万平方尺的零售街道,已经吸引逾20家连锁饮食业者进驻。

市区直律街大城市广场(Galleria Kota Raya)在去年第二季迎来政府机构城市转型中心(UTC)。

此广场过去两年品牌重塑下,至今有90%空间已出租,城市转型中心租下7万4000平方尺空间,并提供一站式的政府、公共设备与服务。

双威“盛绿之都”创佳绩

去年,双威集团在马迪尼发展的“盛绿之都”内Citrine项目,创下销售佳绩。

这项办公楼项目所有167个办公套房,全部以每平方尺760令吉价格售出,预计2017年完工。

新山市边沿、毗邻东部疏散大道(EDL)与峇卡巴都路之间的Southkey私人有限公司,推出占地10万平方尺的8层高办公楼,即将取得住用证和准备开放出租,租率介于每平方尺2令吉70仙。

2014年完成一项大型交易,拿督阿都拉塔西路占地67万4000平方尺的Zurich大厦,以1亿1500万转售。还有,UEM阳光在努沙再也发展的占地18万9000平方尺18层办公楼,预计今年中旬完工及推出市场。

主题乐园催生新酒店

酒店需求方面,随着依特区新旅游景点包括马来西亚乐高乐园、公主港The Little Red Cube,以及柔佛国际名牌商品城投入服务,带动区域酒店涌现。

其中,新开业的Granada、Traders、Renaissance、Double Tree及Legoland Hotel,合共提供市场1300间酒店客房。

WTW报告指出,2012年至今,有7间新酒店陆续投入市场,提供2549间客房,使新山累积客房数量达6933间。

“这7间酒店,包括2间五星级、4间四星级以及1间三星级酒店。”

整体而言,去年五星级酒店平均客房租金为260令吉,四星级为200令吉,以及三星级为130令吉。

出租率方面,五星级酒店最高,达75%,四星级为70%,以及三星级为65%。

狮城游子购买力高

据非正式数据,目前约有30万至35万我国公民在新加坡工作。

WTW表示,每日来返马新的15万人,若以此流量数据作参考,在新加坡工资兑换马币能取得多一倍的价值下,这群体的置产潜能依然被看好。

房价增长紧追雪槟

WTW报告指出,柔佛州首府新山于2014/2015年的房价将保持温和增长。

柔州房市的走势,去年依然紧跟在房价不断上涨的巴生谷和槟城之后,名列第三。

该报告以城区10公里以内(屋龄少过5年)的房产为调查对象,发现虽然说去年行情开始转淡,但这些算是新建的房子都有增值。

当中,设在围篱和保安社区的1600至1900平方尺双层排屋,2013年的成交价为60万,去年上扬到60万8000令吉;而3500至4000平方尺的双层半独立房子,则从137万令吉,增至去年的140万令吉。

隆雪同样是有围篱和保安社区的同面积双层排屋,去年成交价119万令吉,前年是113万令吉;半独立则由前年的268万令吉,小扬至271万令吉。

Sharing a very old article, but fast forward 10 years later, I think all the projections become true :eek:

Tebrau, Skudai corridor hot spots for Johor [ 31/10/2005 ]

THE Tebrau and Skudai corridors are two ''hot'' growth areas in Johor Baru where about 30 on-going and soon-to-be-launched housing projects are located.

Why have they become the top choice among developers and house buyers?

Real Estate and Housing Developers Association (Rehda) Johor branch chairman Steven Shum and KGV-Lambert Smith Hampton (Johor) Sdn Bhd director Samuel Tan Wee Cheng offer their views:

Steven Shum

Looking at the number of advertisements in the newspapers on new property projects here, one knows that Tebrau is hot with developments. Tebrau has not only attracted Johor-based developers but also several property players from Kuala Lumpur.

There are about 20 on-going housing projects undertaken by public-listed companies and another half by private developers mostly from Johor.

With over 3,237.48ha land area divided into smallholding units by different landowners, Tebrau will see busy years ahead in property development activities.

There are three categories of landowners here: landowners who sold their land for cash; developers who bought land and need to develop them fast to avoid holding cost and private landowners who are likely to develop their land on a joint-venture basis with developers with strong financial backing.Tebrau is favoured by developers and property buyers because of its good location and is the last remaining piece of land near Johor Baru slated for development.

On-going road infrastructure projects such as the Senai-Desaru Highway, Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL) and the upgrading of Pandan-Tebrau cross-junction into an elevated junction will add value to the area. The Tebrau Highway’s infamous daily traffic crawl will be a thing of the past when EDL and Pandan-Tebrau cross-junction projects are completed in two years.

By then, motorists travelling from the city centre and Singapore are likely to travel smoothly as the EDL will pass the Tebrau Highway and connect at the Pandan-Tebrau junction.

Easy accessibility will be a main factor attracting potential house buyers especially those working in the city or Singapore.

Competition is expected to become more intense here and developers will have to come out with the right products and right pricing in order to attract buyers.

Most of the players are from Kuala Lumpur who have successfully introduced their products in the Klang Valley and want to repeat their success stories here.

Architectural styles and designs such as straight line, internal courtyard, and cluster houses and generous use of glass panels are making an impact in Johor Baru.

Previously, property buyers in Johor Baru did not have much choice when it comes to home designs but it changes with the presence of Kuala Lumpur-based developers.

These developers know that the second generation of house buyers in Johor Baru is willing to pay more for better-designed houses but did not have much choice.

In the long run, it is good for the Johor Baru property sector as it will increase the quality of houses and enhance their value in the market.

Samuel Tan

It is divided into two corridors from the state police headquarters to the Pandan interchange and stretches from Johor Jaya interchange to Ulu Tiram.

The first corridor is considered as the first generation for housing projects which dated back in the 70s and 80s and many of the estates still remain until today.

The second phase of development took place in the 90s concentrating in the up north of Tebrau highway as there is no much land left in the first corridor.

With over 8099.712 ha land area, Tebrau is expected to be busy with development activities within the next 10 to 20 years from now.

There are many big housing and commercial projects coming up in the second corridor of Tebrau and that is why the area is hot with competition. Presently, there are about 20 housing projects taking place in the area with an equal number of players from the state and outside especially Kuala Lumpur.

Prior to this, Kuala Lumpur developers are not keen to come to Tebrau, as they were not familiar with the crowds here but later realise the potential.

Johorean house buyers prefer dealing with Johor-based developers, thus making it quite difficult for the non-Johor companies to enter the market.

This is especially obvious among the first generation of house buyers but the trend slowly changing in the 90s when non-Johor developers started to coming in.

Loyalty is no longer the order of the day and the second generation of Johorean house buyers is more interested in getting quality homes at affordable pricing.

With the influx of Malaysians from other states coming to Johor Baru and Singapore to work, developers from outside Johor take advantage of the situation.

Projects by developers from the Klang Valley area such as SP Setia Bhd, Mah Sing Bhd, Plenitude holdings Bhd and UM Land receive an overwhelming response.

Each development caters to its own niche market, there will be a little bit of competition when it comes to buying houses especially among first time buyers.

Tebrau can be considered as the first area that saw the introduction of many innovative and creative houses by developers. This is something new in Johor Baru. The trend was started by several Kuala Lumpur-based developers who knew that house buyers in Johor Baru wanted more than just houses. Buyers especially up-graders are willing to pay more for houses that are different from the usual types.

Residents in the pioneer housing schemes in the Tebrau area planning to upgrade will probably choose Tebrau projects.

They are not willing to move outside Tebrau as the area is conveniently located with ready infrastructures and facilities.

The upgrading of Pandan-Tebrau-Pasir Gudang junction into an elevated junction and the EDL highway will make travelling smoother. The on-going RM1.7bil Senai-Desaru Highway will also boost the development activities in Ulu Tiram which was shunned by many because of its location.

On the average, new single-storey houses in Tebrau are priced between RM130,000 to RM200,000, double-storey (RM160,000 to RM200, 000), double-storey semi-detached

(RM300,000 to RM470,000) and bungalows from RM500,000 to RM700,000.

Steven Shum

The area is poised for better growth in the near future in view of its location as part of the Southwest Johor development corridor.

Southwest Johor has been earmarked as the new growth centre for the state and will be developed into one of the leading integrated service hubs in the region.

The Federal Government has recognised the importance of the Southwest Johor development not only for the state but also Malaysia. The Government will provide financial assistance to the state for the construction of new infrastructures and the upgrading and rehabilitating of existing facilities.

The Federal and Johor state governments together with local and international private companies will be involve in multi-billion ringgit development activities.

Southwest Johor covers a vast area stretching from the Johor Baru city centre to Senai Airport, Port of Tanjung Pelepas, Gelang Patah, Skudai and Tampoi.

Development activities will keep the area busy for the next five to seven years and upon completion, Southwest Johor will offer a wide range of services. These include entertainment, recreation, financial, health, hospitality, education, sports, logistic and transportation combining rail, sea, air and land. The state government’s new administrative centre will also move from Bukit Timbalan in the city centre to Bandar Nusajaya. Named Johor Perdana, the centre will house Federal and state agencies and departments operating in Bukit Timbalan and Jalan Ayer Molek.

Skudai is a mature area for housing schemes with 500,000 residents and most of the estates here have been around for more than 30 years.

The area is also favoured by Singaporean house buyers because of its proximity to the causeway and the second crossing.

With Southwest Johor development projects taking place soon, Skudai will definitely benefit from the spill over of the development activities. Demand for new and second-hand residential properties, commercial and industrial buildings is expected to increase to cater to the booming period.

Samuel Tan

Demand for houses in the area is going to grow as the area will benefit from the spill over of developments in Bandar Nusajaya.

The 9,307.76ha integrated township project in the southwest of Johor Baru has been earmarked as a catalyst of growth. The southwest corridor will be turned into a leading service hub centre in the region offering a wide range of services.

The area will also be turned into a logistic hub combining the seaport, airport, double railway tracks and highways services. The southwest development project is targeting at attracting international companies and service operators to set up operations here.

In fact, several international companies have set up or committed to set up their manufacturing operations in the Port of Tanjung Pelepas in Gelang Patah.

Bandar Nusajaya’s proximity to Singapore via the second crossing can attract companies there to relocate their operations here.

Skudai remains a favourite place among Singaporean house buyers and with the area receiving a boost from the southwest Johor project, it will increase its popularity.

Property values in Skudai have risen between 20% and 30% in the past 10 years and developers have no problems selling their houses here. Demand for houses in these areas is expected to increase not only to house government employees but also from the private sector involved in the development.

The Johor state administrative centre will be moved from its present location in Bukit Timbalan near the city centre to Bandar Nusajaya.The new centre will boost activities in the surrounding areas.

Building Iskandar on firm ground
PUBLISHED ON MAY 21, 2015 1:26 AM

AS A growth proposition for Iskandar Malaysia, it is natural to leverage its proximity to Singapore and the city-state's readiness to trade with all for mutual benefit. Supported by ample space and relatively lower costs across the Causeway, that strategy has seen much development taking place in Johor over the years - to the point that analysts have lately flagged the prospect of a glut in certain sectors. For example, Maybank Investment Bank warned that the pro-perty oversupply in Iskandar is "likely to get worse before it gets better".

Given Singapore's close ties with its neighbour, it's in the nation's interest to see Iskandar Malaysia - formerly known as Iskandar Development Region and South Johor Economic Region - succeed over the long term. Singapore is the largest foreign investor in Iskandar at RM11 billion (S$4.07 billion) as of June last year, primarily in the areas of manufacturing, education, healthcare and property development. Singaporeans are building, among other things, a medical hub, an international school and factories in the sprawling economic zone about three times the size of Singapore.

A number of small and medium-sized enterprises are looking to locate there to take advantage of lower labour and land costs. And Singaporeans with money to buy a second residential property have been wooed by developers of condominiums and landed property in Johor.

Investors might find it less complicated and precarious to start and monitor enterprises based in Malaysia than in other South-east Asian countries offering cost advantages and various incentives. The closeness of cultures and the common languages spoken are also persuasive reasons to choose Iskandar over others.

Nonetheless, Singaporeans cannot afford to ignore emerging risks like an oversupply of properties by aggressive developers that can erode the value of and return on investment. Policy changes are another hazard, especially when levies, tolls and assorted rules both ratchet up overall costs and make it inconvenient for people to do business and travel smoothly across the border. A lack of transparency has also been a bugbear. For example, data on sales or rentals is not disclosed by Iskandar developers; and macroeconomic information on, say, job creation and population growth is hard to come by.

Like other growth corridors, Iskandar must not lose sight of the competitive advantages it aims to offer, mindful of the important roles played by infrastructure, skilled labour, productivity, governance, green initiatives and the management of overall business and living costs. The capacity to ensure the fundamentals underpinning Iskandar's strategy are strong will help to ensure sustainable growth over the long term.

In another 5-10 years, JB will look v different from today, and it will probably be around 2.8-2.9 to SGD, resulting in even more population boom with internal migration.

Positive outlook indeed. Glad to have purchased a property now.
 
Why worry if it would burst? Even if the property market burst, my house is still facing one of the largest part of greenery Singapore, freehold and high floor with sea views @ the price of a 3 room HDB flat in Singapore.

I always tell those kiasi people.. don't ever buy any houses ( just rent ) if u are scare of property booms or bust cos it is not a question of whether it will happen but WHEN. Its either up or down.

But the thing is, You mean when the bubble burst your condo will be demolished or become a Hotel New World rubbles? You still get to enjoy life in your HOUSE ( not govt flats )

Life goes on, my friends. Over supply, under supply.. you get to enjoy RM 2.71. Just ignore those critics who are jealous of what u have purchased so cheaply and with amazing finishing and views. The price can become zero but you get to return home daily safe and sound so don't worry.




Is alright as long as it did not burst.
 
A mini bust will help to slow down the developments and gear for a bigger boom in 3 yrs time. When i saw that a micky mouse unit in yishun selling for 1400 sgd psf, I know that the only way for sg to grow is sideways and no choice has to spillover to johor.

Yeah I just cant bring myself to buy a RM 4000 psf micky mouse unit in Singapore which has no view and maybe a few steps from the MRT stations. If Forest City can price themselves to be RM 1000 or below I am sure it will be a mini-Singapore.
 
Could it be a typo error or .. :confused::p

=====================
KUALA LUMPUR, May 21 — Aeon Co (M) Bhd expects to spend about RM700 million in capital expenditure (capex) this year, a slight increase from RM676 million in capex last year.

Its executive director, corporate finance and investor relation Poh Ying Loo said the capex would be spent on new malls to be opened later this year and early next year as well as to increase its landbank.

He said the group would open two new malls by the fourth quarter of this year in Shah Alam and Ipoh, plus a mall in Kota Baru early next year.

The group, he said, owned 13 pieces of land purchased in various locations for the purpose of expanding its malls and this included land recently bought in Senawang, Kempas and Batu Pahat.

He told reporters this after the company’s annual general meeting here today.

Also present was group chairman Datuk Abdullah Mohd Yusof and managing director Nur Qamarina Chew Abdullah.

Abdullah said the group’s strategy was to either buy land and build or to be a master lease for a period of 15 to 20 years, and the current portfolio was quite balanced at a 50:50 ratio between leased and owned.

On the outlook for 2015, he said it was going to be a challenging year amid the uncertainty in the economy which is affecting the local market, increase in cost of living as well as the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) which has brought about some negative perception in the market.

However, Abdullah said the group was confident to meet the challenges and perform positively going forward.

On the impact of the GST on consumer buying trend, Nur Qamarina said there was a 25 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) rise in demand pre-GST in March while spending in April slowed by 20 per cent y-o-y.

For the financial year ended December 31, 2014, Aeon’s revenue increased by 5.4 per cent to RM3.7 billion while profit before tax was 9.2 per cent lower at RM301.3 million, impacted by softer retail market, increasing cost of doing business and new store openings. — Bernama

The company reported to the Stock Exchange said that trading agreement with Johor Land Berhad, purchased the commercial shopping center lot area of 20.93 acres.

A growing bubble is alright as long as it did not burst is as good as saying that you are alright when your right, left and back neighbour's house are burning furiously and while yours still haven't caught fire.
We know you are extremely annoying, dumb and stupid, please don't keep reminding us.
 
If u are looking at Micky Mouse units, then naturally 1400 psf sounds high. Bigger units have lower psf.

Anyway, 1400sq ft is peanuts already. Go check out the city fringes and city area. 3000-4000 psf and more.

HDB flats nowadays also affordable. $800-900k still too cheap. People are snapping them up.

We should support SG housing. PM Lee says productivity, economy and prosperity of this country depend on us. If so many zao to JB, then who to take care of this place and work here??
 
Why worry if it would burst? Even if the property market burst, my house is still facing one of the largest part of greenery Singapore, freehold and high floor with sea views @ the price of a 3 room HDB flat in Singapore.

I always tell those kiasi people.. don't ever buy any houses ( just rent ) if u are scare of property booms or bust cos it is not a question of whether it will happen but WHEN. Its either up or down.

But the thing is, You mean when the bubble burst your condo will be demolished or become a Hotel New World rubbles? You still get to enjoy life in your HOUSE ( not govt flats )

Life goes on, my friends. Over supply, under supply.. you get to enjoy RM 2.71. Just ignore those critics who are jealous of what u have purchased so cheaply and with amazing finishing and views. The price can become zero but you get to return home daily safe and sound so don't worry.

You are right. Even if burst.....so what?
 
I will steer clear from city units cos when the crisis comes we are talking about millions of cash top-up. Instant bankrupts are made this way.

For me a small time investor I am happy with a S$300-$400k conservative figure which cannot be found in SG. So I ventured overseas.

It's not that we done love this country, we simplify want to invest in something we can afford. If the bust come in iskandar, we simply hold on to the can. On the other hand, if we invest in the sg city, we will go bankrupt if the bust come to sg and we have to top up hundreds of thousands. We have to be prudent when investing and be aware of the worst case scenario.

Very Well said. Most of us have no problem buying a 1 room HDB flat. But are you sure we are gota squeeze the whole family into one room?

Also $900k flat I really donno how on earth are young couples ( lets say both school teachers ) gota pay off the instalment...
