the selling price is quite depending from the satisfactory level of the owner.
if the owners enter the market at 220k and now they sell it with the 350k, they might be thinking that it is more than enough.
but most of the owners who greedy,they might be placing the selling price with 500k or even 550k to wait for those who are brainless enuf so they can pocket themselves with profits.
so as a buyer, you have to do some homework before you make any move or being influence by agents or owners.

400k is not steal, it is advisable to ask your friend to do some homeworks instead of being spoon feed.
iproperty is one of the easiest way, 410k and 420k can be easiliy to be found everywhere which larger built up.
i dont think those prices are firmed unless you are really poor in bargain.

regarding the rental,
total unit in MF is about 1000+/-.base on my assumption and observation,30% or maybe 60% are being occupied by genuine buyers or being tenanted.
what about the remaining units?
RM1600 is only the preference price from the owner, when the demand is lower than supply,
i dont think you can able to get for that amount.
and  location of Taman Desa is unbeatable.
east west link is definitely a nightmare for those drivers especially for those who working in PJ area .
not to say the poor accessibility of MF,surrounded by factories and foreign labors wander around that area during night time.
the wooden partition wall did hold me back from considering that place.
