Hehe yeah you're right. The agents selling midfields units are ridiculous.

I asked a few "Property Agents" as listed in Iproperty web site covering Midfields subsales.
Telling them if can look for me units costing
380k to 400k
. They can't even bother to talk further.
Are owners at their mercy to sell units thru them?
How can we reach the actual owners to sell or buy their units with realistic prices and our real interest to buy.

It seem like as if we cannot reach the owners by ourselves and strike honest real deals win win buys!??

Not to forget that buying subsales, the 2nd owner may lose the original guarantees of the unit quality as enshrined in Sales n Purchase Agreements by original owner with developer?

actually cant blame the agents for this instance - as i know there were already confirmed subsale transactions at 400psf and 420 psf by one forummer..
so transacted prices are what both agents and owners will use this info as an indicator..its not the agents dont want to close the deal by setting the prices
ridiculously high - they just know what are realistic prices ie market prices. Sometimes the owners will also give the agents an earful if presented with offers
that they deem are too low so agents also dont want to buang masa..

Well, takes a desperate subsale that did not do his real homework and desperately bought the high price unit!
And so, the entire group of Agents will based this transaction as the initial benchmark price for all units to come.

But when the dust settles, only one or two desperate sub buyers did it.

The smarter and honest buyers are waiting for the dust to settle, and only when real prices are shown, and we can only wanting to commit with that bank loan.
Not to forget, that if that unit is now RM450K, and after complete bank loan is settled, that unit in full payment comes to RM900K estimated.
worth it? you guess!

I was rather amazed that some even quoted RM3000 for rental in this area. For who? locals? foreigners? or the Japanese Community ( if there is any sign of Japanese School here)

At the end of day, if for own stay, whatever the price is OK, if u are OK with it. If you are thinking of high rentals, you think, a local will rent RM3000 to RM5000?

Are u sure u cannot get New condo, 3 bedroom unit in Kl?

maybe 1-2 rooms with smaller square feet can get.

ya if can wait just wait lor..who knows prices may drop back to developer's price even...then go sapu ..serve the owners and agents right..padan muka..

I like your words - Padam Muka!.

Hei Bru,

You think 400K is the right good price for Midfields?
Block A when it was originally sold was selling under RM250K, and now, quoted selling at RM400k++ to RM500K etc.
Ummm, maybe, earlier, we should buy few units and not need to work in the office to earn hard earned money.

One unit can earn RM200K profit, 5 units RM1mil. why bother to work ah? ask that smart question inside yrself!
I will wait till the price is really realistic. No point i show off by buying a high price unit here, and end up with a high bank loan for this life time.

Like that other smart reader, he says " padam muka"

I visited Seringin Residence and Li Yuan Condo for sale. Both are "premium" condo for sales, and bigger units, etc
Prices range above RM500K onwards. The quality, design, and size of master rooms are a blessing!

I think, each condo has its targeted market and positioning.
Location, and target audience to match its price and quality are basic elements to pricing levels.

hmm...by comparing seringin with Le Yuan is ok, but if comparing seringin / Le Yuan with midfield is abit same like comparing apple to orange.... midfield is a lease hold property .... and the design is a bit old fashion ( for me ) ...

now I have eyeing these four project:

Seringin, Le Yuan, Midfield, The Leafz, which one better?? i still don't know how to pick...

price wise, midfield is definitely " considerable " at the entry price now for subsale is around RM420k - 450k.

Seringin too exp....800k-1.2 mil for 1500-188sqft 3 bedroom...

Le Yuan, 680k - 750k for 1400 sqft.....

the leafz, only 1 thing catch me, the concept n life style, if without these features, i don't even bother to look at it...

for u guy, how u choose ?

how much for this size? i tot all smallest size sold out already...this is from developeer or agent ?

Yeah i heard the small size sold off too

Yes agree the maintenance for MF a bit too high

let's compare it this way as below :

maintenance fee + sinking fund for

1) Midfield RM0.33
2) Le Yuan RM0.22
3) Seringin RM0.28
4）Verve Suites RM0.35

for MF, I think the maintenance is too high as compare to the Verve Suites, VS providing so many facilities : sky lounge, infinity pool, jacuzi, game room, eco garden, mini cinema, sauna, gym, and even pool gym !! ( malaysian 1st condo to have this gym under water facilities ) and sand beach pool....so many +++ only RM0.35 , while MF just very old fashion design, and 80's -90's condo facilities....not even have sauna...let alone sky lounge , sky garden....and infinity pool. and ask for RM0.33, we see seringin and Le Yuan only charges RM0.22-0.28, this is reasonable la MF....damn....potong the house owner like water fish meh....

YTL name is worth 10 sens mah...

I thought -10 cent

U write with sense n facts to
Back yr comments. I like constructive comments. Tqvm for the research info.

Currently I am renting MF and using my tenancy to decide if this MF is worthy of my $.

So while staying, I can really based my judgement n not emotionally affected as a first time visitor and impressed.
My inner voice telling me to wait and not jump start my decision to buy MF.
I want my expensive condo to have ASTRO on demand or HD and offering fast fibre optic Internet like economic proven unifi etc
Both are not available yet.
I still cannot subscribe to ASTRO HD broadcast here at MF and wasted my Samsung led hd smart tv I bought when moving here .

There are no proper organized mini marts within the area nearby to do good groceries shopping except that 711 shop outside Taman Sungei Besi
Etc lorries and ware housing n dangerous fork lifts ply that small access road from MF to Taman Sungei Besi town.

I still think that MF current quoted prices from owners or others sellers are over priced and should be lower.
Vegetation and landscape aside, I am only prepared to pay so much lower within 330k to 375k!

Don't compare with Seringin and LE Yuan la
Both are different class with MF !

If you are already staying there, then watch out for good bargains. It is easier to hunt since you are a resident and you can access the condo before buying it.

I did the same with mine last time, rented 2 years before buying the unit.

Not to mention you wont have landed physical broadband internet connection! (No streamyx no UNIFI). Since it's YTL, then it's YES 4G exclusive (which is not practical for home users in my opinion).
