for those who invest in cyberjaya, i got a question.

what do u think of putrajaya? its nearby, it got more office, and better lifestyle. good community as well.

for example, 2 storey house at presint 18, near d lake seems like a good buy. From there to cyberjaya work place is not that far. and putrajaya is more lively than cyberjaya..for now at least

Those 99pc occupied by one race, is gov quarters, and they need to return the house to gov later. its not belong to them. like where is stay now is open to all, near presint diplomatik, infront of my house, is a couple where d husband is a dutch. next to him, chinese family, next to the chinese family, is a taiwanese couple, infront of them, got this uncle mat salleh. ive seen many mat salleh also around this area. perhaps since its near to presint diplomatik. and its open to all.

u can visit PJH. they have many lots taht open to all. good location, nice view and putrajaya is FREEHOLD! plus u have everything here, to deal with gov agencies is very convenient, then hosp gov which is quite new and big also here. only pay d minimum amount. got alamanda.

in my view, if u wanna stay with family. putrajaya is better than cyberjaya. i can see many expats will choose putrajaya over cyberjaya with np. since many of my neighbour is mat salleh

for rental to students, cyberjaya better.

SP setia apartment in presint diplomatik is coming up. price around 400k and above. just opposite alamanda and on the same precint got Nexus international school itself. There is another condo, jsut facing the lake, by PJH i believe, that one is around 700k-800k. very spacious. i cannto remember d name

Nah, sorry. i believe the other way. Students yes, will flock in cyberjaya. expats, i believe prefer putrajaya more. its for family, why u want to neighbour with noisy students?

its matter of opinion. i respect yours. time will tell

check my first comment again. .i stay near Presint diplomatik, shop is aplenty over there. u can google "presint diplomatik" just in case u dont know where is that. walking distance to mamak, nasi arab, malay food, tutti frutti, snogurt, mydin. and less than 1-2km to alamanda. can go watch movie etc etc.

free house? i never heard of that. its just lease to them, contract over and off they go. thats why many retired gov servant stay at pinggiran putra once they finish their term with the gov.

they can opt to buy house in putrajaya but they cant buy gov quarters. Anyone can buy in putrajaya (im not working for gov, still can buy, my parents as well stay in putrajaya, both not working for gov). Like i sed, chck my first comment. my neighbours is chinese, taiwanese, mat salleh, dutch, and a few malay.

thats why, to buy cyberjaya/putrajaya, its better u ask someone staying there. outsider input can be so so, but to understand the community and more about the place. better ask the locals.

Added on October 10, 2012, 7:35 pmi can agree with that. for own stay is good. much better than cyberjaya. for rental play and flipping. not so. the market is quite small.

thou im enjoying the scenary of police patrol on their house doing patrolling in my area. nice breeze during afternoon, and no traffic jam. shortcut to KLIA without need to pay toll is available, straight to KL can use MEX.

my opinion that i want to higlight is, if im an expat, i dont choose cyberjaya over putrajaya.

its important to differentiate from

"Asking price" and "valuation price" from valuation agency appointed by bank.

in this crazy skyrocketting price, many claimed that their house price is double etc etc. but what its actually worth?

someone might say, his house last time is 200k, now is 400k. so he want to sell it for 400k.

but when proceed to bank, bank only valued it 300k. and value of loan he can get is based on 300k, not 400k.

so its important, to know d difference between "asking price" and "valuation price". many crazy price up and down now merely is "asking price". what the real price they got? need to ask valuer or bank liao
