Again 2 different segments is quite hard to compare, I do believe sometimes...
The result in investing the Right condo could be better than investing in right landed
But invest in wrong condo (not abandon) could end up many times worse than buying a wrong landed property (not abandon)
To find a good condo is harder than selecting a good landed project. Too many variables cause great uncertainty
Landed property has greater resistant to recession, 2014-2015 is very shaky

What I heard last pentas launched before raya was need to register your name on the queue chair on wed morning. This mean next wed morning pls go there register if u interested. Queue on launch date too late.

perhaps getting (hiring) someone to queue on your behalf? heard from a buyer that for the first few days should be day time queueing only ..
but would be better to assume that queueing might start before wed just to be safe..

Hi Jet, there was my observation and understanding of I&P queue based on Pentas previous launch. The staff there will request you to queue after you manage to get a seat number. However, the truth was there was many people did not actually queue, they managed to get back their seat on Sat morning. The fact is your name also will be registered on log book. I&P may want you to come and queue to show that their properties is hot selling. In short, the most important thing for you is to register your name on Wed morning. And came on Sat morning prior 830am. In between the time, you only require to go and chk once a day to make sure nothing chg on your seat.

In fact 99% of the new project launch are 1st come 1st basis, I&P never ask us to queue, I disagree with some people blaming the developers too "cruel" asking potential buyers queue like beggar, wat do we expect fr developer? balloting?
It happened in Bdr Kinrara
BK5 4C7 20x70 - 180K (2000) - balloting, some buyers accused developer to defraud or play dirty tricks to call their preferred buyer.
Permai - 380K (2006) - balloting - buyers make noise again
Desiran - 492K (2009) - 1st come 1st basis - Queued 7 days
Sentosa - 462K (2009) - 1st come 1st basis - Queued 11 days (a few late buyers threatening the developer to bring the issue to the Ministry of housing)
Sapphire - 530K (2009) - balloting - buyers make noise again accusing developer scam (tipu)

Note : I know many lucky draw competitions are indeed very dirty. 
   
assuming ;
if Pentas intermediate selling price..
1. 1.0 mil - Queue? - of course no
2. 900K - Queue? - of course no
3. 800K - Queue? - may be for special unit like corner / end lot / facing filed
4. 700K - queue 4 days perviously
5. 600K - queue 10 days perhaps

Look at TTDI Alam Impian previous launching, some buyers already queued 4-5 days ahead, my friends wanted to queue also, I say no need as the price isn't attractive, end up after launching day still plenty of units available.

I would say Pentas is like a New Proton Perdana 2.4 litre selling 75K.
I dun like Proton at all but I will buy still 

Many of time developer also dunno there will be a queue, it is very subjective, every house buyer / investor appraise value a property differently, there are also some developers try to goreng theirs' own project by placing false sold stickers, it is not very effective now.
In recent years, buyers are smart enough to judge a property price by many ways...

Balloting is good but not very famous tactics used by developer, if balloting is not successful, then it will tarnish the sale of a certain property. look at I&P BK8 Qaseh launched 2010 Oct in B. Kinrara, there are bout 2000 registrants for the new superlink offer 117 units only, however only less than 40 people turn up for the balloting day, it is very embarrassing during the launch day. The project was stuck since then until lately offer discount to boost up another 10 units, still not encouraging.

The problem is to do with rising in land cost and building material, developer finds harder & harder to build cheap house anymore (I mean landed), developer can only apply balloting system when they are selling 10%-15% lower than mkt value, are they willing to do so?? 

13-15 units of end lot / corner remain unsold

I think got something to do with the layout design.. internal courtyard very weird + the introduction of the powder room!  How much are the smallest endlot selling... I mean the grass land at least 13ft at the side?

can i know the cheapest unit there for non bumi buyer as of now?

I'm still thinking whether to take the LO or not....

I have taken my LO just now, my unit is facing the lake.

The taken up rate as 4pm is 27/101 (26.7%)
