Guys i was about to buy a bunglow in country homes for 380k not a very big one around 2000sq feet land and built up is about the same... but the houses need so much work....ur talking at least 200k for it to be really nice. the other issue is many abandoned houses there...god knows why.. and such an eyesore...when houses are really cheap you dont get quality neighbours, some dude next to ur house will rent his out to some family who doesnt care about you.

So what Mah Seng is gonna give you is a quality neighbourhood... and you guys are right this place is not the best for investment most early buyers bought cos the downpayment is only 3% and for people who dont have a large savings its very attractive the other lot of people who bought are people who up grading from surround areas( uncles and aunties). These people are buying for own stay.

I feel the more people buy for own stay the better it is. Not many people of loading it will allow property to be more in demand for those who are interested. We will just have to wait and see and it it works out well some people will be smacking their forehead. fingers crossed...
