This one i agree, but once u sell, difficult to get back property at this price range already.

money can guide you to others place

where is the other place?

i always tell people you can't fall in love with your property.. but i think i'm gonna keep this for a long time..

How deep is your love????? hehe.....
my favourite song.

Within 2 years asking for 80-90% return??

Even if it was the booming time 2 years ago it would be unlikely.

Look at iproperty, price coming down. 1.6m becomes 1.5 and 1.49m. Previously those who put up 1.6m were all testing water.

2.3m for a lease hold link house? There are many choices (including freehold semi-D) nearby if you have 2.3m to spend for a 3200sf house.

Yes, I believe it will go up to 2.3m eventually. But that may be at least another 3-5 years or more if economy continue to grow.

Once the houses are ready, there will be >200 units for sales....I estimate at least 70% are speculators who sapu
most of the units during launching. By then, serious buyers will have plenty of choices.

Developers are sensitive to market's demand. Most of them slowed down their launching since last year. You don't see that many
launching recent months, do you?

Better pray if the economy won't collapse. Otherwise, many will start to throw price if they can't hold.

well said.. there are still a lot of serious buyers who couldn't get a unit due to strict balloting process by YTL and EY.

another thing to note is that there are limited fully G&G low density strata landed homes like this in Sg Besi, and the nearest will be Senja by BRDB (leasehold). guess how much they're selling late last year? RM1.99m for a super link with 2400sf land area and similar built up at 3,200sf. left a few units available now. talking about crazy, yes it's crazy, i was also one of the priority purchaser, but didn't buy a unit because i bought end lot reed 3100sf land area for only RM1.36m!

i foresee reed will most likely go for about RM1.5m - 1.6m for intermediate units upon completion, end lots at 1.8m - 2m, corner lots at more than 2m.

yes we need to beware of the economy, BNM mentioned won't raise OPR to help the ringgit, but it's just a matter of time when they will raise it, not whether they want to raise it or not. like what you said, it will be a buyers' market by then. but if you have been to the Reed ballot, i can tell you that the purchasers there are all loaded and most likely wouldn't care about it because they're just well, loaded.

those who got the end lot in Reed are the winners.
Also those who bought the intermediate for 966K.

who bought a unit at lake field are the winners~!! lol
cheer~!

End lot or corner next to sub station or t junction ok?

depending on pricing, some own stayer dont mind tnb substation.

Agreed. If I am not mistaken corner unit next to guardhouse is about same price with end lot facing the central park. If I got money. I will definitely go for corner unit

the corner unit which next to the guardhouse priced at premium because it comes with extra land at the back and North South orientation.

I thought I saw it priced around 1.45mil which is about same price as endlot facing central park

I have just checked again the photo taken by some taiko in the ballot day. Actually the corner next to guardhouse 5001 only cost 1.39 mil. So cheap la

it is by ballot, i would say almost every unit is a good buy.

that's what i've been trying to say.. only RM1.39m (albeit near to guardhouse)!! what's the land size btw? 5001 is the lot number right?

where else can you get this for a fully g&g stratified landed homes..

those who didn't make a purchase (especially last few batches) despite being balloted due to limited units or facing T junctions or TNB, they're really clueless and i might say, ignorant of YTL's strategy in Lake Fields.

some people may even prefer to stay near guardhouse, easier for entry and exit.. and safer? lol

I went to the site recently with a contractor to view the units. I'm quite disappointed by the end lot design. The wall at the side of the extra land, is actually the same side as the staircase going up.
There are few small window openings on the wall and one of them actually "cut thru" by the staircase, just like wrongly design (half window above staircase and half below)

There is no extra glass panel / glass sliding door on this side of the wall which could have helped lighting up the hall. Totally defeats the purpose of having end lot / corner lot!!!

The end lot unit looks as dark as any other intermediate units. 1st floor hallway is dark but still bearable. But the middle room is the worse. The only light source is from a small window facing internal air well. Give you a wrong feeling of a room in those apartment having air well window.....

It will be totally different if the room wall is at the same side of the extra land, then it can have more windows to allow better lighting.

This is a common sense for having an end lot / corner lot, right? Is this overlooked by architect?

I guess this could be done purposely to prevent owner hack down the wall for extension / add more window glass.
With the staircase on this wall, it is impossible for you to make any extension even if YTL allows it (of course they won't).

So it makes the only benefit of having end lot / corner lot is the extra land itself......plus a few small windows on the staircase side.

Is it worth to pay extra 200k or even 300k just for extra 10ft land without benefit from the light?

Also, it seems that the front hall (dining) is larger than the living hall at the back......feel a bit of wrongly design again.
The wet kitchen is miserable. Very dark and constrained by a small corridor outside maid's room and toilet.
I believe many owners will tear down the maid's room to make the kitchen bigger. But if you have a maid, then your choice is limited.

I like the front and back room at 1st floor though. Very good lighting. Lighting condition is the same for intermediate unit.
Master room at top floor is connected to study room and a balcony facade. Which looks nice but kind of wasted coz entire floor is fully occupied by one room.

One negative point is, there isn't a Guess Room at Ground Floor. If you have old folks with knee problem, they won't like this house.
Old folks usually also don't like kitchen at the centre of the house.
Moreover the dining hall + dry kitchen is facing the front gate......but those who like it won't mind.

Beware that end lots could be harder to dispose in subsale because of higher price points and also it actually costs a more to renovate and less privacy. Those who can afford go straight to corners with associated "prestige". else, they prefer intermediates.

Immediately after VP, write in to inform mgmt office abt the design fault issues to allow all end lot to modify it in the same way. Most of the time it ll be allowed and the modified design ll b the standard for future reference.
