Developer's price for Capers was RM400++ psf. Stupid never buy that time. It was sold out 100% in 2 days wor... Now, Capers not even completed already RM800++ psf asking price. 

At first i wanted to buy Fennel during Phase 1 but hesitated after listening to some negative comments here. Haiya, missed the chance already. That too sold out during weekend. My fren went to Starhill on the Sunday of the phase 1 preview and told me eh how come no one here! I told him: Of course la... u think u the only one who likes the design ah!!? 

my 2c,
just my thoughts la..as this morning too free and nothing to do in ofis...
Pipu alwys like to compare (or make reference )with MK...

Generally MK occupancy rate is not high (supported by lack of lights at night) but so what? Most buyers are buying to keep and sell. Hence naturally it will be empty at night. It is "investor property (u can call is speculative) so expect it be that way

As for Sentul-YTL only.... not other sentul, acclaimed with:
-YTL masterplan
-Connectivity to major highways
-LRT, KTM and MRT or even HSR (konon konon)
-parks and greenery (all or most YTL condos got parks, Maple, Saffron (except Tamarind)

My boobservation...
-By nature, rental yield is not super good (circa 5% according to one of the recent blog), expect more challenging rental environment for Fennel...(supply and price)
-a very very huge mixture of tenants with small community (unlike MK with Korea kampung, Japan village, french colony)... those in Sentul East and West are sort of isolated group. So far.. Upper class ME, americano, dutch, frenchies, korea, japang and of course the local..
- though no international school within the area, there are still many arrangements of bus/van picking up kids to take them to the private school nearby in the morning.

So what I think of Fennel and Capers as the impact?
- introducing of iconic buildings that could sort of attract some attentions to this area.
- more units available in the community... rental competition? Maybe create the more market place?
- another step to transform the sentul...

So what i personally experienced over the years?
When tamarind n saffron was launched.. we asked ourself: What? Sentul? Why is the price so high?
When Capers was launched, we asked again. Why is the price 4xx psf (4xxpsf then was high)
Now, when fennels is launched.. I asked myself... why the price again?!

So far, all the YTL products in sentul enjoy very good flipping price and ofcourse superb security and maintenance .. record pricing is set each time defying gravity... eg: i never thought maple, saffron and tamarind subsale price today...can reach this level...

Good luck buyers...

People start to realise that the big money is from capital appreciation of new launch.

I think I will go for one unit in case I regret later when MRT stations are up and the Sentul Master Plan is fully developed coz I heard my fren who work in YTL told me that YTL is going big bet on Sentul and the boss will not allow the bubble happen at Sentul East which eventually will affect the Sentul West.

Understood from him that coming Sentul East development will be fully on commercial to boost up the area then only developed the Sentul West. All Sentul West future launch will be at least 1000psf or more due to the landscaping planned at Sentul Park. This Fennel will be selling at minimum 750psf (mainly for bigger b/u like Type B). So, if I intend to get a Type A, may need to pay 800-850psf if I'm the top 100 people. Work out to be almost RM1mil for 1 unit. Go or no go 

Do remember that a good yardstick that we can use to determine if our property prices are sustainable or otherwise is the gross rental yield. Generally, rental yields of between 4-5% mean that the property is overpriced while yields of 6-7% mean that the property is fairly priced.

So when rental yields start dropping below 6%, that usually means that we're heading towards an unsustainable level and investors should practice extreme caution when investing. Most rental yields now are around the 4% range which is actually dangerous.

So always practice prudence before investing. Appreciation of the last 4 years should never be taken as Gospel truth for future capital appreciation. We are at the tail end of the property boom and nobody knows how long the next slump is gonna be.

There's a good reason Fennel is at the top of this article from The Star.

Just a quick question, should rental yield for a completed property be based on original developer price or completed property price?

2 years ago, I sold my condo for 50% more, thinking we were at the tail end of the boom, today it's double in price.

Every time people say there will be bubble here and there, but eventually they are the first few in the q for new launch

That's the herd mentality which allow developers rake in millions in profit while investors without holding power are left high & dry when a property slump happens.

Few years back when I bought a HR unit at somehwere somewhere.. then rental yield was only 3-4%. Ofcourse, we need to do home work... and 1 year aftetr that my rental yield is a humble 6-7%... but if i were to sell now.. the new buyer will have only 3-4% yie;d only until another adjustment...

how long need to queue ... I can help que

How much u charge to que?

U seem to be very sure that the price is 800-850 psf. How u know la?

Look at the pricing for EcoSky from Eco World. Price seems like same as Fennel! Design not so nice also. Location in Taman Wahyu some more which is much much further from the city.
