for sub-sale, i'll choose KD over DA. for brand new, i'll choose DA over KD. simply due to 1 thing. $$$$. sub-sale, purchaser has to bear the legal cost while usually prop dev'er will bear the legal cost for new housing scheme. so for sub-sale, i would get a prop which is cheaper and yet can move in instantly. most important, mature township.

i like DA houses but 1 thing, price very high now. with strict BNM ruling on hse loan, i think demand will start to go down. housing price went up very fast, but salary wise ain't that much. thus, i think now, there are more supply compare to demand. but, in my opinion, just buy it whether bubble occur this year or next year. it's for own stay anyway. for investment, if bubble occur, then get hold on it for another 10 years. the price will pick up after 10 years.

true to say. if for own stay, there's no difference whether the price go up or go down. if go up, will u sell the house just to reap the profit? answer = no. you'll still stay there. if the price go down, you definitely won't sell cos you're making loses thus you'll stay there. so, what's the big deal with bubble.

for investor, yes, have to consider several factor. that's why i always go ahead with my plan and buy the prop. but of course have to afford la. at least need serve well to the bank so that the you're in the Grade A paymaster. DA is a real good choice. i saw this place bloom up since 2007 cos i work in Shah Alam and i uses Guthrie to travel everyday. i saw a the superlink launched last time at around 400K. i can't afford that time. if i have money, i'll buy it. now, it seems like too late for me. haha.

rfm, agreed with u. everyone wanna buy low price. but in my opinion, not everyday a sunday. my mom bought a hse in rawang in year 97 and after 3 months, prop price went down. there's no right or wrong since it's for own stay and my mom can afford to pay it. for a poor family like us, most important is to have a house. i'm delightful with the house and look at the price now after hmmm.... 15 years. it went up again and it reach back my mom's purchase price. accounting wise, still making losses due to interest and bla bla bla. but it's for own stay anyway. it's priceless. life is short... enjoy the time of staying in the house.

actually G & G also ppl can break in if the security enforcement is not strong. if ur area is not G & G, then you can form the RA (Resident Association) and then get consent from all the owner of the area. Submit application to the MBSA. Once get the approval, you can cordon the area and then hired security guard. but the RA must be strong. just my 2 cents.
