KR 2-storey and 2 1/2 is a bit pricey, 3-storey has better position to fight, why? built-up >3300sf could easily beat Q'aseh

Sure.

why semi-d more value?

Only 3-storey RM888K (early bird) and 3-storey Semi-D are the best bet for Investment, if for own stay, 2-storey link and 2-sty SD will be just fine (lower budget), just my 2 cents

3S link was going at almost 1M, 2S semi-D was starting at almost 1.3M.
Premium for Semi-D is quite low at 30%, so this has more value to me.

Added on January 6, 2011, 11:03 amProblem with 3S Semi-D is that the master bedroom is on the topfloor. Some people might not like this so for investment I think it is riskier then the 2S Semi-D.

bro prody why master at 3rd storey no good?
i thot, all 2.5s 3s normally will hard master on 3rd floor right
is it too hot or something?

My 3S link has it at the middle floor. For hotness of course the middle floor is better then the top floor.
Anyway, main reason is that some people would not like to walk up two floors all the time (get dressed, shower, sleep, forgot something) instead of one floor.

KR 3S can't put the master on the middle floor because they chose high ceiling for the ground floor.

agree, Semi-D 3-sty has a double column height living hall which has eaten the 1st flr master room space, however it also portray a grand living space which the 2-stry SD can't match, I do not favor 2-stry SD (for investment) b'coz the built up of 3138sf (4+1 R) l/a 3200sf is too general, how much can it call after completion? 1.6 mil? Dun forget there are plenty of 40x80 freehold SD in Kinrara and Kinrara Hills to fight, isn't easy

The 3-storey superlink of 3318sf, offer 5+1 R (can upgrade to 6+1), 2 master room (1st+2nd flr), if the entry point is 888K, then I would say those investor untunglah!!

for investment:
you'll notice that any 3-storey launches anywhere in klang valley (be it link, semi-d or bumgalow), they sell a lot slower than 2-storey.

hence, this should be an indication of demand! more demand of 2-storey than 3-storey.

you can see from the recent mah sing maybank & cimb pre-launch, 2 storey semi-d going like hot cakes.



for own stay:
there's nothing wrong with 3-storey but demand is lower only.

no issue if you like it.

for own stay, prefer 2 storey of course
if with parents .. sure 2 storey also haha

I personally actually prefer 3 storey. 3 storey looks better somehow. Don't ask me why. With 3 storey, more rooms suitable for parents stay. extra rooms for study and music/video, kids, mate, guest. Majority goes for 2 storey :perhaps those are speculators. Speculators always go for lowest cost, just like condos, they always go for smallest built up. I notice the trend is towards 3 storey. even bungalows and smds newer designs mostly 3 storeys.

dont think so.

speculators nowadays go to pricing / sqf parity

that is the reason why 3s is attractive ...

my question is , if there are lotsa 3s leftovers .. how are you gonna flip it ?

3 stories is only favorable to those who have big family. I have a few friends who own 3 stories houses & they all regret that. Main reason is that it's too big for their needs(wife usually complain it from cleaning point of view) & top floor becomes abandoned.
Since middle class with small size families are majority of home buyers, demand for 3 stories will be less than 2 stories always.

from dev point of view, 3s is built using less land, giving higher density, usually lower $per sqft, more margin than 2s.
some come with lift which will incr price by 150k or so, not forgetting maintenance cost later.
if large family, elderly people will not like 2nd or 3rd level.
large families with adults each driving a car, say 5 cars - think about parking space.
if the row has many cars, imagine the mess along the road.
all these will affect subsale.
majority by far prefer 2s with a bigger space per flr.

depends on preference, if the buyer like a whole floor or master bedroom on one floor maybe can consider 3s other wise 2s

aiya.....if alot ppl.....buy bangalow!!!!!! no parking & lack of room problem.....


bungalow in Bkt Beruntung is < RM300K.......


lol

3 storey BU is about the same as normal semi-d. Suitable for even normal sized families if parents stay together. If there are 6 rooms, then parents take 1, ownself take 1, lets say standard 2 kids taking 1 room each, 1 room for study/office, left with 1 extra room either as guest room or music/video room. How can it be underutilised? If 2 storey, BU much smaller, usually not big enough and not enough rooms. I have a friend recently shift from 2 storey to 3 storey and his parents are not even staying with him. But he has 3 kids. he say not enough space. 3 storey normally built up slightly more than 3,000. Just nice.

rich ppl ...

i think the reason 3s tak laku for semi-d is also becos the absolute price is too exp, think still got many available.

calling all kr semi-d 2s & 3s purchasers to come together to form an offline community to discuss general developments in the next 3 years prior to vp . please pm me togetehr with lot no. genuine purchasers only. thanks.
