I still remember when i bought a house in Bandar Puteri 5 years back, there was nothing, no Giant, no Hospital, no commercial and only 1 row of new shoplot selling at RM888k. After 5 years the shop lot is now selling > RM2.5m. IOI startegy was to build residential first, then build shop lots and commercial and the last and most difficult is to build office building.

today looking at cyberjaya, all the infrastucture is already there and they started with the most difficult segment which is office building. Cyberjaya already has more than 100 companies (MNC), 3 university + few international colleges. If this backbone is not strong enough to make Cyber a success, i really dunno what else will make it a success. What cyberjaya needs now is more residential and commercial, which is the easiest segment to develop. You just need to build more houses and a BIG shopping mall and the rest will be history. Personally i think Cyber will excel better than Bandar Puteri given them another 5 years.

Entry cost is expensive in Cyberjaya now (sub sale is ok), and my advise to new investors is to ensure you have the holding power.

Not a place to promote Eco Glades here!!!

Nonetheless, Cyberjaya is a different ballgame altogether. As mentioned by a major developer, 90% of people are buying Cyberjaya to invest & not for staying!!! Many are buying because only Putrajaya/Cyberjaya got freehold lands. Hence, in the next 2 - 3 years, many units will still be vacant waiting for everyone to move in!!!

All Property Gurus promote Bukit Jalil-Puchong-Seri Kembangan (Puchong South) now!!! For any reasons, staying or investing, don't go out of this area yet!!!

Cyberjaya may take another 5 - 7 years to boom!!!

Another real life example to compare is the sales of Kinrara Residence (L/H in Puchong Kinrara) vs. Garden Residence (F/H in Cyberjaya), both developed by Mah Sing. You can see for yourself why take-up rate for KR is so much more significantly higher than GR despite it being leasehold.

Location, location, location!!!

i agreed with you. 

last few pieces of freehold land
good access to highway
good infrasturcture
well planned township
green township
lots of offices and job opportunties
attract middle/high income group of population
schools and universities

Not really....that is if you only evaluate based upon loan rate vs rental yield.

There are some areas in which you could still get 7-8% gross and compare with interest rate at 4.x% ....

Also, there are people with solid cash.....so for them, they would compare based on FD rate vs yield.

Haha. Kena scolded in "kinrara residence" thread:

Ok. Stop here. I am not promoting. I have already bought one.

Anyway, everyone has his own view. See u.

I am staying in puchong, and i am preparing to move to Cyber.
Cannot stand the heavy traffic in Puchong. I may be the 10% who is willing to move in and i believe more will join in.
Kinrara.......please, i will never consider it as a good location if you look at the morning traffic congestion.
From Bukit Jalil to Kinrara to sunway....the traffic is horrified.
Even from puchong Bandar Puteri to get down to Kesas, it takes 15-20mins.

The trend around Klang Valley is that people are moving out from traffic congested area to more "peaceful" place. But still if you are working in PJ/KL, still have to stuck in jam when travel to work right?

Mind to mind where you working at bro?

MEX will be still smooth before Putra permai and skip highway are tap to them. Once the two interchange are built, i believe it will be congested as well. With interchange from putra permai to mex,it will also relief some traffic from ldp.

Cyberjaya is a high area.

Both points are valid 

Patiently waiting for my loan approval..for own stay..new settlement after 12 yers in puchong..

i planned to buy a house in symphony hill previously, the terrace house, i like the concept and the price is within my budget... End up im not buying because of, for own stay, its kinda not convenient.. for investment, there are too many landed property in Cyberjaya completed in year 2013/2014. i dont have to power of holding it for 2 years after completion  im a small kacang flipper

Quite suprise now a lot of considering to live in cyberjaya. yeah, for flipper, it is best you have holding power. If not, get those that will VP very late like in 2017 and above.

Actually, there are not many landed houses in cyberjaya .... now there are only 42 link houses on perdana lakeview east ....some bungalows there as well. Summerglades, Garden Residence all together will only have 300-400 units + a couple of hundreds of semi-D + bungalows. Even with symphony hill (as of now), the total landed will be below 1000 units... of course .... 3 years later, you have a couple of hundreed more with setia eco glades

Loan has been rejected by hsbc..apparently my dsr 101%..hehe..wondering how do they get the figure..sigh..hope for the best..

only take mbsb if u ran out of banks. interest if not mistaken is BLR+1%. damn high
