No Shortage of catalysts - Malaysia property sector update Jan 5, 2010 (Maybank IB Research)

Crown jewels: Sg Buloh and Singapore land. We are particularly excited about the development of:

(i) the RM10b Sg Buloh MRB land given continuous strong demand on residential properties and spillover effects from the growing Kota Damansara township, and

Likely beneficiaries. We are therefore bullish on several soon-to belaunched/ ongoing property developments that will benefit from the MRT connectivity such as:
(i) S P Setia’s RM6b KL Eco City,
(ii) SunCity’sRM5b Sunway Velocity,
(iii) Mah Sing’s M Suites, M City and Icon MontKiara, and
(iv) government land developments like Sg Buloh, Sg Besi airport, MATRADE, Warisan Merdeka and KLIFD (see map below).

Centrestage Section 13 PJ

Visited the sales office, the office is way too quiet than a normal property launch. Usually a hot property will be snap within hours, but this one is not.

Selling at RM233k for 302sf unit, un-furnish, no discount or any special gift. Some more is a new developer is this property industry also selling at this kind of price, I guess people rather invest in Empire City.

Furthermore there at 31 unit per floor, serve by only 3 lifts, I can't imagine how long you need to wait for lift...

Melawati Landed House - Casa Rimba

After Bandar Kinrara, now Melawati Landed House by Sime Darby. 3 Storey Link House Selling at RM1.4 mil !!!

http://www.simedarbyproperty.com/property_view.aspx?productID=15379211-8a07-4caa-81c5-b9314fd94b7e

At least this one look nicer in picture, but with extra RM400k than Bandar Kinrara Qaseh ...

With this kind of trending, normal working level people don't even dare to dream buying a landed house....

If you look the picture and plan carefully, you will notice that the trend of landed house now is more "feature" than typical double storey house built last time. Developer start to invest more in "outlook", surrounding, facilities, greenery and security.... therefore they need to price in these kind of "extra cost" in the selling price, as compare to last time whereby they just build the house and a padang with a small playground then kautim.

Bandar Kinrara Landed House

Just browsed Bandar Kinrara website http://www.bandarkinrara.my/current_launch.asp

New launch, double storey (super link) selling at RM945k ! What have happened to Malaysia Property???

This really make Setia Alam RM650k double storey look dirt cheap, make Desa Park City RM1 mil plus double storey look worth the investment ....

Dunno what to say, and don't want to say anymore, TOTALLY SPEECHLESS.

Finally "He" Arrived - KL Next Hottest Property - KL Eco City

City&Country: Affordable homes in Seremban good for GUH

Visited Seremban last weekend, since got some times, I try to "browse browse see see" the property in Seremban area. Cause I have perception that Seremban property is like Ipoh, probably could get a decent bungalow with just RM400k.

The hottest area in Seremban now is call Seremban 2, mainly developed by IJM. Browsed IJM land website (http://www.ijmland.com/) , and I am quite shock to see the selling price of the property at this area !

A double story is selling at RM300k, and a double storey bungalow is selling at RM1 million ++ !!

I am so outdated !!! Then today saw this article "City&Country: Affordable homes in Seremban good for GUH", concluded that Seremban price is no longer as cheap as I thought, it is approaching KL price now, maybe on par with Kajang and Sg Buloh price .... no eye see....

How Big is One Acre?

When I have chatting with my friends about 6 acres central park at Bangsar South today, he is asking me, actually how big is 1 acre?

Answer:

1 acre = 1 football field = 16 tennis courts

So you can imagine how big is 6 acres central park at Bangsar South :)

Found a "Short Cut" in Property Investment

Is start of another new year - 2011. I try to refresh my memory on those property investment mistake I have made in the past, and what I could have done better. Seriously, after I count it, there are quite  a number of mistakes I have "committed", aiks....there is still long way to learn to be really a master in this...


One of the "mistake" I have made is "miss out" investment opportunity for "YTL Midfields". I was in the launch during that day, which is super packed, as the developer offer good discount for the first batch buyer. If I am not wrong, is about 7-8% discount, and price around RM200k per unit.
 
I decided not to invest there as the area is less desired, near Salak South, leasehold land, nearby high tension cable and next to highway (noise).
 
NOW, I revisit the place, the condo is almost complete and I am actually quite impress with the outlook, it look nice. Heard that the property now hitting around RM400k++ !!! Is double the sales price, and few thousand percent of ROI if you calculate it based on investment capital putting in (low down payment)
 
So, why I can miss out such good investment opportunity during that time? I recalled whenever there is new property launch, I will visit the sales gallery, do site survey, evaluate the pro and con for each property. Usually, there will be more con than pro, and this hesitation make me "stop" from investing from certain good investment...like MidFields is one of them.

So, now, how can I avoid repeat the same mistake like this again in future? I can't simply whack without research right?
 
After trace back all the investment record, property launch history, I found one shortcut for good investment. Instead of research yourself, just put your faith in "well known" and reputable developer hand, like YTL. By seeing the history, most of YTL property will double upon completion. Few example as Midfields, LakeEdge Puchong, Sentul Tamarind & Saffron, Pantai Centrio and so forth. "You come, you see, you invest", just whack it.
