Hi I've also purchased an apartment in Residence 8 -
And I also feel we should have an additional car park -

Also Maybank after some discussion said is offering -2.4 BLR - but I have yet to see and black and white since the Sales and purchase agreement is not out yet.

CKHong - You can call them to find out but last week OCR told me only
RM410,000 to RM534,000 left

FYI - I found this forum while Googleing Residence 8
So if someone is interested they would do the same accuming they know how to google search

Yup left one is block A - early Jan when I went to OCR that is what they told me - back then both block still half empty now like 80% block A and 70% block B taken.

Mine also same value 400+K but after early bird discount 300K++

Anyone one to recommend a 3rd party insurance for MRTA? It seems Maybank one is quiete expensive

After S&PA is signed usually there is only 3 month to get the bank loan approve end to end

Guys my point of view about the lock in period - if the lock in period is calculated at 1st draw - and OCR say it will takes 3 years for the condo to be completely built.

Then a lock in period of 4 years is not that bad - unless you want fast capital gain the moment the condo has been completed.

Well just my opinion Im not tai kor.

Speaking about rental - Car rental for condominium in BU -is RM150

Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Holiday Everyone - Balik Kampung time so won't be checking this forum for a while!!

"If you guys N gals are noticing the R8 advetisement online, there are more N more property agent companies are starting to conduct subsales.

The selling price posted now is RM469,900.00 for 1350 sqft. Good News or Not ? ? I believe soon OCR will tell people all units is sold out. Give them 1 more months then the price of subsale is gonna increased or even u will received call asking whether u want to sell your unit?

"

So fast appreciate by 5%? I tihnk a bit to good to be true

Hi Everyone ,

OCBC got back to me - basically the same rate as teumika.
Now still waiting for Maybank

ELLEYCNDY - how many years is your MRTA?

Well since were all soon to be new owners of Residence 8 - hopefully near LRT or not - our condo value should appreciate over the years

I think some sales folks are part-time/contract worker go talk direct to their management- then can get the answer directly

I agree with Teaumika!!

Based on trend price will just go UP UP UP for property -it's a global phenomenon.

Example singapore -housing buble burst - but within 2 years after the bubble burst- prices were back to pre bubble burst values.

Unless Malaysia got sub-prime issue like USA then different issue.

Our good friend MAC housing minister say we can emulate Japan and use 2 generation to pay housing loan in the future - so what is he implying? Govt won't stop land property to go up.
