Which picture are you referring to ? If we are referring to the same picture on the iprop, it means Rimba is ***NOT*** directly opposite Sierra. Rimba is at the end of Jalan BK5b/1, whereas Sierra is at right handside of Jalan Kinrara 5b, already off the picture.

I would like to believe my theory about condo property sales. Condo property normally starts off with good location/view/feng shui units sold - either internal or externally. Could be developer itself blocking off the units for later reopen for higher profit. Also to create artifical demand. Might be even sold to internal (speculating) staff or directors or even early external speculators.

Much like how KR2 did it.

If demand is good, all goes well.

If for one reason or other demand is not satisfactory, then the sales will drag. But developers have no problem, they just drag the signing of S&P until such point they are comfortable with the sales volume.

As we are talking, I just read that DaMen USJ, the residential portion of the condo are yet ready for S&P. Now dragging S&P date has become a useful tool for developer.

That's the dilemma of new condo investment. Unless we are totally surprised that 3 years down the road, rental inflation has caught up so much that it could make the equation balanced.

If you already find it hard to balance the equation for a 500k condo, how about those condo with 700k there about ?

I have already completely forgotten about the pricing of Duet Residence. How's this RM500 sf with 5% discount compared to DR ?

But the iprop pages mentioned it's 5% discount.

I thought I read somewhere BNM now disallow DIBS. We notice new launches are not provided with DIBS anymore.

You forgot to mention the most important figure, what's the psf for DR ?

Oh sorry Twincharger07 kor, do not mean to be bossy. Forum post in writing usually carries no emotion, it's often interpreted as cold and bossy.

If you don't mind, did you get the map correctly ?

Is this a duplicated info or new info or a mis-info ?

Good point. Maybe later another few condos coming up there, then "rimba" becomes "rimba konkrit" pulak.

You went in there before ? Can one walk through it and come out from Wawasan 4 ?

The cantonese saying, good bridge not scared of old (好桥唔怕旧).

I know, it's cantonese, their choice of words are a bit funny. LOL.
Similarly when the hokkien says bak sai (眼屎）， they actually mean 'tears'.

If my prediction is correct, the smallest built up will be gone at the point of initial opening. Unless you got jalan, otherwise to get smallest built up, you might have to pay a premium (or undertable ) or wait until they get released at a later time with increased pricing.

Haha don't call me sifu, it gives me pressure. Anyway I am not so interested in this one already so I hardly post in this thread already. I am still VERY interested in KR2.

5% discount, 3% booking, I supposed buyers need to pay additional 2 % at S&P time, that will be how the calculation works ?

Sales is not going to be as simple as just based on psf.

If it is only psf, Zefer would be already fully sold.

Oh really ? I heard that the RR is not welcome by the surrounding terrace houses either, the residents are collecting signature to block the developer from using the residential road for construction of RR.

He could purchase a reserved unit in KR2 project which most of us here do not even have a chance, he is more capable than what we all think. LOL.

Haha I tried very hard to appear smart by ***NOT*** asking question but finally someone asked it for me. Thanks.

Launched already how cum no one talk about the prices here one ?
