someone adevertise in the malay mail today selling their unit at rm430k.

guess by the time it's vp, price will sure shoot-up to rm500k.

Come on, bro, even the price was low during the purchase time, but this is 200K that we are talking about, not RM200. To you is probably easy money, but to some people, that amount is very significant.

I think is fine to have certain expectation. It is not that the buyers are expecting top notched furnishings. Cracks on the wall (not the rough quality surface) depending on the situation can be a serious safety issue. Just because you are not buying a property close to half a mil or 1 mil such as SW  , you cannot have expectation?

I fully agreed on your statement. Well said...
For those didn't purchase this property at 1st shouldn't have voice up this...........!

Very well said guys !!
I share the same sentiment .. this words didnt come from me.
it's from your friendly neighbourhood .. your most truly beloved Pai gor ..

i hope you wont change, saying ohh theirs is just 100k+ property but ours is 200k+, hence deserves better quality ..
This serves a lesson not to praise ur own vested prop by criticising others in which Pai has well demonstrated.

On another note, i think zest is looking good from exterior .. and believe it will command a good appreciation. congratz to all purchaser.

!!!

really? No potential tenant? Then is really bad...

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.............

be realistic.

Anyone who r willing to offer 400psf I will take. Any anyone?

If most buying for staying, should be good for those who buy for investing ... easier to goreng right?

New air-conditioned bus stop opens its door in Zest Point @ Kinrara 9

COMMUTERS in Bandar Kinrara can now wait for public transport in comfort as Trinity Group opened the doors to its new and the first air-conditioned bus stop in Malaysia, located at the Trinity-owned Zest Point @ Kinrara 9.

“At Trinity Group, we don’t just build residential properties. We are also focused on building and fostering communities,” said Trinity Group managing director Datuk Neoh Soo Keat.

“We noticed the area’s lack of infrastructure, so we decided to construct a bus stop that will serve the community at Zest Point. We are excited to have the opportunity to offer this service to our residents.


Fostering communities: Trinity Group built the first air-conditioned bus stop in Malaysia at the Trinity-owned Zest Point @ Kinrara 9.
“Instead of building the typical ordinary bus stop, we felt that the community could use the comfort of an air-conditioned bus stop.

“Since this is also a high traffic area, we’ll definitely see many people benefitting from this bus stop.”

Construction of the bus stop started in March this year and was completed in July.

Built at a cost of RM83,000, the 8ft X 24ft air-conditioned bus stop can fill up to 40 people at one time.

The air-conditioning however, will not run for 24 hours. Operated by a timer, it will be switched on for 10 hours from 9am to 7pm daily. Maintenance of the air-conditioner will be carried out once a month by the developer.

In line with Trinity Group’s commitment to its customers and its neighboring community, it has also taken into account the bus stop’s safety features. A closed-circuit camera is installed for passenger safety.

“Passengers and commuters need not worry about the possibility of thugs hanging around the bus stop as there will be security personnel patrolling the premises from time to time. The bus stop will be opened from 6am and closed at 11pm,” said Neoh.

“If the feedback and response to the bus stop is positive, we will address the needs of passengers and residents of the area by building more air-conditioned bus stops. However, the project will also be subjected to the suitability and condition of the location site.”

Meanwhile, Trinity had also initiated a RM7mil access ramp linking the opposite side of the road to link The Zest @ Kinrara 9 with the Bukit Jalil Expressway. In addition to providing two-way access to residents of Bandar Kinrara, the ramp will also provide an alternative U-turn for motorists coming from Puchong on the Bukit Jalil Expressway, where the only previous route was at the Technology Park-Bukit Jalil exit.

With the completion of the ramp, road users will save an estimated 15 minutes while travel distance is reduced by eight kilometres. The ramp is projected to be completed by end of September.

For those owner...some advice here...make sure dont rent to student or else will end up like KinraraMas...hehehehe...

Time to fire up .. enough .. i heard enough .. 
inflation is up .. yes indeed, very much .. property has gone up .. yes indeed, very much .. but salary has not adjusted to that rate yet ..
u are saying the property price shud go up because inflation has gone up but how can u ignore the affordability factor .. is it not a part of the equation ?
"real value is already above rm500k" what kind of "real value" u got there ? any transaction ?
it's understandable ppl trying to breach the asking price but dont just bull without giving good indicator ..

now for zest, i really do hope it can command higher price .. cos if zest price is higher, then my nearby vested prop will be a notch higher
but plz dont just bull .. cos it's annoying seeing all these asking prices .. i dont really see how u manage to influence ppl to sell higher with all these postings.

Great! Up and Up!! now price around 450 psf seems like nothing already.. should be able to reach 700 psf in another few years.. We should have follow the steps of HK, Taiwan, SG, and Thaland.. We are already behind.. Keep it up!

I don't understand what the point of arguing the price or expecting what price can sell?

When completed, if wan to sell, the bank usually will do estimation of the property. With that ppl will know how much is the market value.

If lets say for example market value is 350k , you wan sell 400k. the buyer can't get 90% loan he need to top up on his own. The buyer won't paying so high for over market value.

Usually the estimation market value by bank is the most correct.

Sorry for any offences

good rule of thumb you got.
but do you diligently practise 8% as your limit or would you go higher in hot/prime areas?
say a sub-sale in old pj areas.
heard cases of buying >30% on top of valuation prices.

So which bank gives the most accurate value? some banks? all banks?
If all banks give different valuation, how to claim bank gives the most correct 
no offence, not challenging you but need your advise..
