Age of the township is actually not a factor in determining the value of the neighborhood. Other factors such as township planning, resident composition, sustainability (including green index), facilities determine how liveable and desirable the township is.

I remembered during that launch, to sell, they allowed you to build anytime within a 20 year period. So I think, it still a gain, as the land now is worth much more, the last time I checked

Bla bla bla. The scientist part only referred to the decision making process. I did not infer that I am a property guru. And my point still stands. I am buying for own stay, and not for flipping. There are countless factors for determining what's best for my own stay. And to me, a development that is not taking selling it's product seriously, with no show rooms, no service, and pasar malam selling, in all measures will only attract herd mentality purchasers and flipper driven neighbors. What good is a good neighbourhoods with lousy neighbours. I rather stick with a crowd that can afford to 1.5mil or hold it for more than 10 years because they can.

My two cents

Buyimg and holding land you need super holding power...

Of course i didnt aay you cant afford it.

One thing i dun understand is if you bought for ownstay, why come to this forum and sing praise song for developer, the project and your foresight in buying this project/property?

You want to get voices for your correct decision, a pad at yr back or tease thosw who missed out?

If you were talking abt altivo, tis project was sold 7788 rather earlier. A clear indication of many investors at play here.

Sama sama. Have you heard of Kenny Heights? I will get that one day. Give me another 10 years of wealth growth

Errr I dun und the flip part. Let say half of 1st hand buyers for each project bot to flip. And successfully flipped. Chances r the next owners r for own stay or half of those subsales buyers again bot to flip. 3 rounds in 15yrs older phases ended with 90% own stayers. New projects stil repeating the cycle n 15yrs later all oso dated liao cos no more land to build.

Would suddenly all owners who oledi grown old wanna leave the town???

I see ttdi with many oldies n ttdi is self sustaining cos of high spending power. My guess. Not vely sure.

I hav seen too many ppl goin into condo in recent yrs mainly due to lower entry n mostly off the plan buy mainly due to freebies n rebates. Thou landed or condo oso hav their fair share of issue but i personally think condo in long run ll worn out faster than landed.

Recently I hav redo wiring n piping for 1 landed. After the unit is done up 1 question popped up in my mind. Can I redo wiring n piping in condo the same way I did for my landed if in the event I need to do so in future. Especially with the shear walls for most condo nowadays.

Just thinking. 🙏🙏🙏

Same here, that's why I like DA, I get the best of both worlds, surrounded by matured low density neighbourhoods where I can get everything I want but staying at a spanking new affluent condo decked with all the facilities and lifestyle niceties I need for a 30 year old. On odd days I can dress down and have my humble bowl of pork noodle, and even days I can host my guest in ATIVO hanging deck and restaurant. And any given day, I could visit DPC or the future DA when I feel like being with the crowd. And then when I feel like having alone time, I'll escape to the hills right in the Sri Damansara neighbourhood. That's the reasons I became fixated at Sri Damansara. Had it been the right timing, I would have gotten Airie. And had Damansara Seresta been less fraught with steep slope issues, I would have placed it higher than ATIVO too, because own stay should be far enough from the crowds to relax and close enough to civilisation when you want a piece of the action. ATIVO is a compromise.

I'll probably be staying at ATIVO until I retire, then I'll go for Bukit Tunku or Country Heights Damansara, when I get enough moolah. Which should be right on by the time I retire.

Kenny heights dun play play...
Olympia group.....cannpt run biz one...

Remember duta hyatt kl? They also cancelled their condo project there.

Oooooo icic, the piece of land at the top of Bukit Tunku look so b sweet though. Good to Know

Why only retired baru moved to bungalow????

Older you have more energy?

All good prints. Forces me to rethink my motivations and priorities..... Hmmmmmm

You may dream now...but as age goes by yr priority change, it may not end up like wat you planned.

... And all I want to do is to retire in Taiping! 🤔

At one stage taiping has the highest crime rate in malaysia.

Doesn't matter Singapore , KL Penang Melbourne its the same everywhere. Location is everything. Btw subang jaya was never that good la. Don't listen joey yap pls. The reason why I brought up that CEO is that what he said is true for property always. Not becos he's a CEO of some property coy I couldn't give a damn as well.


Btw Singapore is small so what he says should NOT matter! But it does. Think about it .

No, not flipping .. For own stay ! OK I'm not questioning your choices here... But certain things are characteristic of neighbours, cannot change . so like minded people might prefer staying in certain neighbourhoods. That's all I can say in this forum buddy.anyway no offense meant ya
But for me la I would have sacrificed sqfootage for hartamas or ttdi.

Very experienced guy ah. Old condo problem is LIFT

Wiring , piping,,, issue also but not so headache. External common area mcst settle. Inside your house u settle.

But lift ... Cos replace may be v high

And ATIVO is charging 0.43 psf of fees for maintenance

Must be the time when I was the student there! 😂
I lived in Taiping many years the only crime committed on me was bitten by a mad dog!
