Any new pics? if can be completed by end of year........... probably might wanna move there for a while...........

2 carparks ................

Zest is looking very "hip" leh

which valuer/bank?

Was recently looking for s/s or DS for own stay.......completely got put off after doing some research .....n heres why I opted for a duplex condo instead :

1. Market all asking 420k-500k................whila valuation is around 350k - At least need to top up 70k gap in asking VS real valuation

2. 30% downpayment - Approx 120k

3. Renovation+repair cost - 50k.

So to stay in a landed prop in an area I like.............roughly need to cough up approx 240k of OWN capital up front..................

Want to preserve capital..........if buy highrise I need to put only 10% down............bullets to be saved for correction.................

wonder if theres any unit transacted in subsales......

Just bcoz one paid top dollar doesnt meant you'll have top quality. Some quarters just dont get it. The multi-million dollar bungalow in Eco Park oso has major defects.........but that doesnt mean SPS is a bad dev? They r still miles better than mayland.........and that doesnt stop the bungalows from appreciating beyond 100% of their ori purchase price............as their concept n delivery prevailed.......


the same goes for Heron by TT.......despite tiles popping due to poor workmanship......still appreciates well..........suspect Zest will do even better........ just remember to vet thru hollow tiles thru n thru..........u'll be fine



@Naleh, VP isnt out yet so jury isnt out yet on which is a better buy. I gotta feeling your reasoning will be fully justified upon VP..........

I hope the Zest managment will do what TS did............completely block pak hitams of our property..........

600k for Zest is a fairy tale price IMHo............ can buy a duplex loft unit in Tropics for that price leh..........

at 500psf, I wont buy highrise at these parts of KV........

depends........if everyone else selling at 600psf like Covillea say.......I dont want to be the dumbass who sold to early, too cheap......

but today if someone offered me that amount with at least 30% down upfront........... I'll sell .......... not bcoz I think the appreciation cap is already maxed at 450psf........but I think I could use the proceeds to get better returns else where.........

........no point holding for 5 years just to get additional 50psf gain if I could get the same elsewhere within a year.............

Chief, just bcoz I wont pay 500psf for Zest or anything in BJ....................doesnt mean everyone else wont also right? Suria Jelutong with mosque fronting in BJ is quite well received at 500psf.......I wont pay 500psf for that as well but the crowd says otherwise......area wise I rate BK higher than Jelutong personally................ I also rate Titiwangsa Sentral higher than Savanna but today Savannah still more exp than TS leh..........


On whether Zest is better than BJ's condo..............we'll only know once its completed.................... anyway area wise I've always maintained my preference towards BJ as of TODAY.............but once LRT come it will be a diff ball game..............

fuyoh I got me a stalker...........unfortunately I got no bandwith to deal with psychos.......


Anyhow lets wait till VP.............dont think averagely Zest will worth above 500psf and SW wont fetch 600psf oso upon VP......... sorry guys if this is dissapointing..........but just dont see that happening...........


well those who keep saying it will worth 600psf.........I offer you to buy my unit at 499psf.......veli cheap.........will deliver u the unit f/f somemore.......offer stands before VP of Zest.............

looks not bad..........especially the balcony using tempered glass........gives a decent class feel to the whole place..............



but pool looks really small though.................

the 2 best time to sell IMHO :

1. Commercials vibrancy is in place.
2. MRT completion

TT --> Under promise, over deliver .....................................


............i likey this type of developer............

at 450k.............can anyone recommend anything that is a better than buy Zest in Puchong, BJ and BK area?

VK not same quality or standard.................n can still get Savanna at 450k? If yes than I agree at 450k............Savanna is the better buy today.............

Not same boss........my view :

1. generally ppl who r looking to buy landed dont look at apartments as comparisons.

2. Link houses..........lacks plan B as an investment..........no yields...............
