I bought earlier phase, 8B, in precinct 8. Main factors that swayed me to NI are:

1) Price is reasonable compared to nearby developments and the quality of completed houses in precinct 8 is not too bad.

2) The listed price is the only amount you need to pay cos the developer absorbs legal and disbursement fees for SnP, Loan Agreement and also stamp duty for MOT.

3) Though 8B was launched back in Sept 2011, and I only bought in June this year, the original launch price remains the same minus the earlybird discount and of course late buyers have less choice units to choose from. This is unlike some developers where as the houses get closer to completion time, the price of unsold units go up.

4) Location wise is next to Bkt Indah and Horizon Hills and easily accessible from Bkt Indah Highway/Coastal highway (near HH entrance) and the Pulai exit from secondlink. Only 5-10 min drive to Jusco and Bkt Indah commercial areas.

5) Guarded and gated.

6) Good utilisation of build up space. Built up for 22x75 8B is about 2116sqft. Built up for 22x75 8D is about 2414 sqft.


I have not viewed SEG before and prolly the eco features/landscaping are much nicer than NI. But for me, value for money and location is more important.

However, you may consider dropping by to view NI this wknd and see what you think of it. If you still prefer SEG, at least you will be convinced you made the right choice after all! Good luck.

8B intermediate non bumi lot was priced from rm476k. 8C is apartment.
Plan for rental. Market asking price is abt 2-2.2k per month. Similar to bkt indah rental asking prices.

The current and new launched 8D 22x75 non bumi intermediate is starting from abt RM586k. It has bigger build up compared to 8B.

I bought my intermediate 8B at RM476k.

If your aim is to get property for capital gain then better to consider HH, EL as these are more well known amongst foreigners (ang mohs) and higher chance for them to purchase one of these. HH newly completed Golf 24x75 intermediate terraces asking price already arnd 800k.

Chances of renting out to this group of expats also higher as again they are more familiar with these areas and frankly these areas appeal to them.

Fed govt budget already passed last Friday...there was not announcement of increase in foreigner purchase price at the federal level. So the risk is minimised unless the BN Johor state govt want to impose higher limit at the state level.

Personally, for rental target market, you're better off with Bkt Indah and NI compared to SEG. My biased opinion lah cos I am vested.

Guys, imho, I think you have made the right move by earning the strong SGD and then spending it in Nusajaya and Johor by making your money go further. Property in SG is just too exp now and boh hua.
I assume you guys are still young and can tahan so this is the correct attitude and way to go. Make hay while the sun shines and you can consider retiring back in Malaysia next time when you grow old. Nusajaya is very near SG making it feasible to retire there next time if you want to remain near SG. Best of both worlds!

Have you checked out Nusa Sentral? The prices probably around the level of SEV.

Also there is talk that Mahabuilders will be building superlink houses next to Horizon Residences at Bkt Indah 2. Its that piece of land next to Nusa Idaman precinct 8. I heard superlink going from 680k. Imho I think this is more worth than SEV. Best check with Mahabuilders.
