Hi UFO, could you explain "odd size" landed property.

At least 24x80..ie 30x70, 28x120, 25x85, 26x100...very limited, it will extinct (in prime area) one day

I fully agreed that odd size landed property have good potential and demand!

but what make odd size property attractive to potential buyer?

Compared with Setia Alam's 3 storey odd size landed property 26'x82' built up:4515sf selling 1.628 mil & above, KR 3 storey semi-D seem to be value for money!

Affordable budget, floor area and flexibility
The key feature is built up area, superlink nowadays can reach 3700sf - 4000sf (2 & 2 1/2 -storey) and 5000sf (3-4 storey), it provides an option for buyer who want to buy semi-D and bungalow but constraint in budget.
If given a choice, I believe majority of us are dreaming to stay in a luxury semi-D or bungalow, however those NEW SD and bungalow price are far beyond our reach now, dream remains a dream. The alternative remedy would be Superlinks which cater the needs for large floor area, equipped with SD / bungalow features (quality building materials and accessories, more rooms, infinity/swimming pools, home lift, courtyard or in house garden, double volume high ceiling).
With the scarcity of land and increase in land acquisition cost, unlikely developers willing to built SD / Bungalow with "humanism' selling price anymore, therefore in order to maximize profit and guarantee achieved sales figure, architect attempts to modify the design of the building to suits rich buyer's taste, we can see creative products being marketed such as "Link Villas", "superlinks'', "link bungalow", "zero-lot bungalow", "cluster SD", "water villas' etc

Well good argument UFO! To me Bangalow and SD are also cater for the top 5% to 10% affluent irrespective of time/era. Like you said, given a choice everyone will be dreamt of living in Bangalow or atleast SD. Due to its exclusivity. Market forces will always ensure this equation in equilibrium. As the population getting affluent, bangalow and SD will be priced higher to maintained its exclusivity. it got to maintain the status that only the lucky few can afford. As the price goes higher, developer will throw in better and more advance features, most of the time you do not need!

well why are the Superlinks so called odd size properties getting poplular? to me the main reason is the proportion of middle high income group is growing faster pace then the super-rich or the high income group. Simple means for a same plot of land, developer can build 50 SDs sell to 500 potential buyers or build 150 superlinks sell to 150,000 potentials. if you want better statistic to prove this do an analysis on demographic of EPF contributors.

The run-up in asset and commodity prices for the past two years has created massive wealth and income generation for the country. We estimated that both the residential property and equity markets have generated RM400bn of additional wealth for households since 2009. The run-up in commodity prices has also resulted in additional windfall income of RM15.7bn for smallholders over the period of 2010 & 2011.

 Our calculation shows that the estimated wealth and income effect on GDP is approximately 2.5% for the next three years or equivalent to 0.8% per annum should asset inflation is sustained modestly into 2012.

 Our studies suggested that households possess healthy balance sheets with room to gear up and capability to withstand potential shocks. The results also revealed that higher spending (income) group will tend to spend more on transport, medical, education, communications and discretionary items.

 We expect BNM’s modest tightening stance to support an environment for consumption-led growth reinforced by wealth effect from asset inflation.

More than lake edge 3 storey already
Personally saw 2 families signing snp

Sorry I not following this thread
The 3 storey is gated and guarded?

Semi-D / Bungalow G+G
Link houses - F+G

erm F + G = fenced and guarded?

Yes, something like this

btw, what are the differences between F+G and G+G?

To get the price of the house, is it multiply the build-up area with RM300/sf??

example: 3000 sf build-up area * 300 = 900k?

F+G - individual title (common area maintained by respective authorities)
G+G - master title (common areas maintained by residents), outsiders need consent (guard's permission) to enter the Taman
