Just booked a one room unit this afternoon. Built up area 594 sq ft. Purchase Price was RM584K before the 5% early bird discount. This service apartment project has 3 facing. Facing landscape, KL & LDP. All came with differences in price. I also confused & hesitate which one to go for.

Basically what I had in mind was. Pay 8K booking fees. Obtain the 90% M.O.F, then wait till December upon signing S&P pay another RM21K plus.

All in all park in RM30K, wait till project complete in almost 4 years. Then sell off with an appreciated value of this property.

According to sales person, RM8k booking fees refundable minus RM500 admin fees if bank reject loan or cannot get 90% M.O.F.

I was wondering will this strategy work. Am I thinking right?

your strategy sounds good... everyone would love to use the same method to earn big bucks...
But, what makes you think you can sell over RM1000psft in 4 years time? Hope you dont take it the wrong way, I am just curious about your forecast 4 years down the road.. icon_rolleyes.gif

It is quite an interesting topic that everyone saying it is overprice but still i can see people taking the unit there. Most of the people taking the smallest unit (facing the landscape) even the price for 584sqft rather than taking the bigger unit 743sqft where only 80k different cos of (facing the low cost flat), where the diff of the 743sqft (bet facing pj and landscape) is >80k. Does the facing landscape worth that price as it maybe surrounding by the factory n not so eye catching building.. I am curious ... smile.gif

The "facing" does not play much in purchasing decision nowadays...
Its the absolute pricing that matters in today's market...
Investors buy the smallest unit because they are the cheapest and easier to rent to single tenant when we talk about urban living...

If you are buying for your own stay, its a different story and criteria for your purchasing decision..

Developers know the investors tactic nowadays.. that is why most of them are selling smaller unit...

I might be wrong becoz I am not an avid investor. But the key to investment in pigeon holes like these are always location, location & location.

This project is situated just next to Federal Highway & LDP. If it's in Kelana jaya, Sunway or even Subang Jaya, then RM900 plus /sq ft is considered cut throat pricing. Anyway let's rewind back to 3 years ago. Most of the properties , not to mention Landed but condominiums & service apartment in Klang Valley has appreciated dramatically. Now it might seems to be Wow, soooo expensive. If the property price trending is going upward then the 900+ / sq ft is no long perceived as expensive anymore. Furthermore, now we are talking about RM900+ /sq ft for a 4 years later property so we can't compare with existing ready properties.

Besides, this project involves a shopping mall, hotels & others. According to salesperson, its concept is more or less like Mid Valley. Well, I don't know how true.

About the 3K plus rental return per month, honestly I am a bit pessimistic that it can fetch up to there. Maybe RM2K + maybe. So, I was thinking of keeping it for say another 1.5 to 2 years after completion then dispose it off.

Just my 2 cents in investment no offends please biggrin.gif
You are right.. disposing it is a better option rather than getting low rental and bleed in cashflow..
but who are you selling to? home stayer or another investor?
So another investor will buy it and bleed more cash?? hmm.gif
Or there is a new trending that ppl buy expensive pigeon hole for own stay?? hmm.gif

Put aside the selling price, credit must be given to TMS whom has the courage to acquire the land and inspiration to launch a mix development city like this, really amazing...those property owners in vicinity area will laugh all the way to the bank!! rclxms.gif
TMS dare to sell, but I dare not buy.. blush.gif

I see developers are building more for what "investors" want than what "home stayer" want..
We used to see a lot of articles saying that "The demand for such product is driven by the demand from the market".. but what is the market..?? hmm.gif

If there is so many "40 yr old bachelor" out there to fill up the pigeon hole, how will the "population growth" drive up the property market when the country is moving towards "aging population" ?? hmm.gif

I welcome ICON city, a new place for me to hang around rather than Sunway Pyramid, it will divert some congestions in Mid Valley, 1U and Sunway Pyramid
