Hi there...

I'm looking forward to buy a house at Alam Impian for own stay. Currently looking at an end lot house at Canting3 which is priced at RM845k. Eventhough it's the lowest price I've seen after scouting the area, it seems that the house or any similar house cannot be sold within a short time of period. Perhaps there's 2 reasons behind it:-

i. People would want to waste money buying subsale properties coz expensive!.
ii. The house is overpriced.

The 2nd point made me worried. I scared that the house was not supposed to be sold at RM845k, instead should be lower.

Thus, can anybody advise me what's the initial purchase price of the houses in Canting3?

Yes, it is overpriced. It should have been sold at launching price. Owner of the house is so greedy. heheh. Kidding bro.

Honestly, I would suggest that you go to a banker to get valuation of the house. Dont go straight without getting valuation of the house.

I believe AI has a lot of potential. Tinta launch price was around RM580K and now it is selling at RM1.6 million.

Even Pentas is higher priced than Canting. So it is highly unlikely to go wrong buying Canting. just my 2 cents

Canting 3 End Lot at RM 845k?

What is the land size???

Should be 20 to 30% cheaper.

INP alam impian house still consider reasonable price as compare with others. Further down bandar botanic is selling at about the same price. House price today is high but still not sure at its highest or not. If die die also want to choose landed property for own stay i will choose AI due to the price. But first few years will suffer as still got no commercial yet.

When I failed to get any unit during Pentas 1 launch, I went to a few agents to check out Canting corner and end lot. Straight away I knew I should get Pentas coz the width for Canting is lesser and thr land not that big for corners and end lots. Furthermore the 3 storey that I was looking at didnt look spacious as compared to Pentas. I immediately cancelled off a few other appointments with other agents and went back to Pentas 1. I was sure someone will be a drop out. Waited patiently. Someone finally did. Just a question, why dont TS get Pentas 2 or Pentas 3? MOT only pay half

Pentas 3 still available right?

Yup. Got like 13 units left based on last 2 weeks data

Whats the price look like? Still circa RM800k for cheapest unit or have they increased the price? Initial plan was to get one here

I did visit Canting 3 few months back but I taking a look at intermediate only. Found the price reasonably cheap at RM 600k ish and the best thing impressed me was it was quite near AI main entrance, nicely build and similar like BK, lol.

Concur with u that TS should look out for Pentas 3 instead of Canting 3 End lot if both price are comparable same and if the end lot extra land is lil bit small, no point going for tat at subsales entry which limited appreciation value compare to dev unit Pentas 3 and much smaller built up, right?

I am just purchased canting 3 2 months ago at rm650k inter.

RM 650k for 22 x 80 so far still ok.

When I viewed during Jan / Feb, I found 1 asking RM 610k only and the rest RM 630-650k.

3-4 months ago, I asked again but cheapest RM 640k bfore nego.

Sorry, a bit out of topic.
By the way, can I check with Canting owner whether the security guards is assigned by inp or by the resident after vp?

Do you guys sign any letter during snp to allow the area to be guarded?

Thanks for the advise bro. I'll get a valuer to value the price. I believe that's a better way.


There's an additional 10-12ft square land. The house is 22' x 80'

I'm choosing AI due to the location and the developer. Definitely it will be a hit one day.

I want to purchase a subsale since I would like to move in immediately due to work commitment.

nice design...cluster house more nice design...u r so lucky...

Is that the one that costs RM800K++

845k is a good price. If u wanna stay better grab it

Ha ha, it shouldn't b end lot. It's corner lot.
845k is a good price. Go grab it

Good buy bro. But do check the other details. Facing park/west or east side etc etc

All the best!

845k with 15 ft land is good price. I think is good deal. Where it face and what is build up? Pentas 1 end lot with 15 ft land are about 900k, garden with evening sun unit slightly less than 900k garden with morning sun unit is slightly above 900k. Buildup around 3150sf.

Haha. Its an End Lot ( his unit should be neighbouring another end lot ) but still with Corner Lot Land Size.

Added on November 24, 2012, 12:33 amIf I not mistaken from the Canting 3 end lot floor plan i saw bfore. The extra land given was not 15 ft but little odd size. Means in front like 8 ft but at the back was 12 ft.

In that case, if Pentas 1 End Lot with 15 ft then is much bigger and built up also bigger, make it RM 900k is an edge compare to this RM 845k Canting 3 End Lot.

Why not get an intermediate unit and save that RM200k for high end furnishing, ID etc

I dont really fancy end lot or corner lot because the huge price difference. I would use that money to furnish the house but thats me

Gonna book it next week!!hooraayyy!!

Thanks for your advise...

so pentas or canting?

Boss, 13 units unsold of Pentas 3 are all bumi units?

Canting3.

welcome neighbour....nice chatting 2 u the other day. When moving in?

waaa....u know who i am ka?

dunno yet when i'm moving, but as soon as i got the keys then i'll immediately do some minor reno, then only i move in.

nice talking to you too!!

We paid 600 for a one off maintenance fees which covers among others security for the first 2 years...after that the RA would have to take over...

No signing anything saying that the area will be guarded...anyway, i think i know where you are cos ur picture is showing my neighbours house at the back street!

Welcome!

most canting owners are investors or own stayers?

I think investors are higher than ownstayers judging the occupancy rate

I can see many unit up for sales. Probably a lot of investor. Occupancy rate is still low despite vp'ed for quite a while.

hmmm, it is always a bad news if too many investors around

Yalor apa boleh buat. But I'm confident after a while sure more people will move to AI.

By the way, anybody got any idea what is being built or going to be build next to canting shop lots?

Bro My new house is located at Jalan 35 if I remember correctly what about yours?

According to my agent source, for I&P linked houses only.

Own Stay : 20%
Rental and Sell Later : 10%
Selling Now : 50%
Unsure : Balance %

Mostly flippers and that's the market nowadays. Worst for mid end condos/ apartment (not that expensive) where the big fish will get 10-20 units and the smaller fishes go for the remaining units leaving the Genuine Buyer at minimal

Walau eh.. So many flipper cum investor ah. Like that susah lah..

Thats what worry me if I re-enter AI again.

Really a lot of flippers on the market. 2013 year end onwards, really tough to get purchasers since they have plenty of choices everywhere.

so flippers on board. do the right thing -stay there. it is not gonna be that easy to sell anyway

I beg to differ:

More flippers in that areas = More people perceived that the property price is likely to go up = More people come to goring the property = Price will more likely to goes up. Flippers can sold property to another flipper and no necessary home owner.

More home owners = No many people goring the properties because flippers don't see the potential = Price stayed stagnant/ increase a bit and more suitable for long term investment.

My 2 cents

adwan, try checking the situation in which many flippers are trying to dispose at one time. is the price going up or not?try checking the areas in which demand is high but not many selling the houses. i can almost say that that everytime the 2nd situation occurs, the price will be up faster than the 1st situation. it is all based on demand vs supply. many flippers selling = many supplies. of course demand for the place has to be there

actually quite keen on canting 3 as it's within my budget... buy for own stay.. staying in condo now..

go or it bro. i think canting is undervalued. imho

Seriously Canting 3 is quite decent look and comfortable to buy for own stay. Plenty of units available at right price.

I agree with bro AMINT, that Canting 3 is quite undervalue buy and if anything less than RM 650k, it was a cheap n fair price with plenty of capital appreciation when AI is booming in the future.

As the occupancy is not high, previously I did search some units from agents, subject to the unit got neighbour for own stay currently.

Majority properties in ambang botanic 2 in Klang is empty....can see banners of "Sales/ Rent" everywhere...

But price of the DSTH has shot up from RM500K++ launcing price 2 years back to the recent asking prices of > RM800 K.

Just my 2 cents. You got your points thou.

Hi,
Are you guys staying there now? how's the access like to the place? Went to see Ken Rimba last week. Pening with access.. summore rain, road flooded.

From Seksyen 26 go there using Kesas then link to LKSA exit at Alam impian right? is there any other non toll way to get there from Kesas?

Yes! going to collect keys from my lawyer next week.

Good day to all

This is a good forum on Alam Impian hses. I moved in middle of last year Chanting 2. Purchase at RM610k. Nice houses. having said that you need to know I & P manitenace ppl are very very slow is responding to defects. mine have close to 10. major one was a burst pipe, but most are solve expect for upstairs tiles , they will promise to come, but never turn up. 2 months of school till now most of it is ok. recently they are cracks which my kids notice upstairs and was informed only yesterday. found out there are some houses with the same problems. will have to see them again.
An the other main problem is theft. 4 breakins in 2 weeks while we have now engage a new security guard after I & P stop theirs.
to summarise, our concern is the quality and safety of this place.

thanks

AI got flood or not during heave wet season??

Seems like security is a concern here. By the way why did inp stop their guards. Are the resident not paying the security fees? By right u guys should form RA and engage the guard directly.
4 break in within 2 weeks is bad.

I seriously doubt gov statistic showing crime rate decreasing yet on other hand some many cases take place... What went wrong...hmmm??

I have been there before, waiting for it to rain. There is no flood near I&P. But there is some minor flood near the road to ttdi. Apparently there is some sort of water retention there.

Hope you were not waiting for too long...

it was what i wanted. gila heavy rain. brought my SUV instead of sedan. i waited very long. no banjir. even the road to ttdi also not much banjir. overall i believe AI is quite ok

4 break in within 2 weeks in canting 2 or 3? This is ready bad...

INP Stop the guard after 1 year. thereafter we engage the guards. RM150 per month which is high cos only 40 houses are paying , rest are not occupied yet, this is in chanting 2. these guards are not really bothered as only one is at night , furthemore no fencing . the last one was on new year, resident came back at 4am, guard was sleeping, house alarm went off, found grill broken, gas and stove was stolen.

otherthing, i dont mean to sound negative, but try go there at night, and smell the air. you be surprise how poluted it is. i move from subang jaya away from the jam but this is a nuisance and bad for health. hopefully some big shot can complain about the factory , near Pentas that releases these smoke at night.
the cracks, i will let you guys know , its looks minor, maybe hairline crack, i am not sure. but the near the gate that expected as its a new house , and quite common i was told.

---

Added on January 4, 2013, 9:02 ami am guesing you guys are not staying there, but there are floods at the 2rd roundabout and very common at the end of the roundabout near the temple. but there was some clearing of the river lately so hopefully its ok.

TTDI is very far in compared to AI, in the morning i can see very long jam going to the roundabout to the toll. I did consider it before but the house design is not nice to me. AI is more spacious inside.

By the way , i find it funny that almost all buyers at chanting 2 , extend their kitchen, which would be a very big kitchen. I didnt do for mine as i want a garden at the back.
imagine since november, resident have been renovating and the noise on weekends is crazy. but its a good thing, as i was worried its going to be deserted area. its a happy noise

When price goes up this high, it will be a challenge to dipose/sell of the units. You would have paid RM1.6M for a RM800K property by the time you finish servicing the loan, not to mention the high monthly repayment biting a huge chunk from ur disposable income.

i appreciate your honesty as a resident there. lets make the report on the smell together. one report wont make a difference. many will. may i ask what sort of occupancy rate are we talking about in canting?

Chanting 1 is fully occupied, as its the 1st phase. chanting 2 is say 50% but more will more in this year i think as many houses are renovating maybe after CNY. but chanting 3, not many , reasonn i think subsale price is too high. 700k plus onwards fairprice should be 650-680 for intermediate . so many have bot chanting 2 subsale at about 620-650k . not much difference to c3 just slightly smaller. both C2 and C3 got 2 different house design, one row of triangle shape porch which not very popular as its blocks the main room window, you can see many ppl redo the porch to flat type. furthmore the back is facing the main road.
Pentas is better buy compared to C3 is one can pay the difference. only setback is the entrance, one big round to go to jalan kebun and further to the toll.
other than some issues its a good location, with econsave, giant, at jalan kebun side, further up is NSK where prices are lowell than SJ, another giant at bukit kemuning. dont really need to go to kota kemuning.
anyone know what INP plans are for schools and shops. hope they dont run way from doing this.
regards

Sound like i bought wrong house with security and smell issue...

hahaha. i need to go and sleep there la. i have been there at night also never smell. maybe just my luck. the flood also i never encounter. should go there more often

hmm....It is really not easy to make decision to invest in property...many townships seem to have their own pitfalls or it is beyond my budget.

Bro, it happens everywhere. Pardon me for being prejudice but this is exactly what is happening in malaysia. Almost all taman that is without gng are not spared not juz ai only. This can also happen even in gng taman. Read around the forum you will now.

Guess we juz need to take a more active precaution and actively engage ra to ensure the whole area is properly guarded strictly.

Think you should go again at say after 9pm.the smell of chemicals. everyone shuts the main door and dnd go outside..those who move in later at pentas 3 would be hit a lot as the factory is oposite.
Security cannot depend on alarms as it always ignored. Best hope in police doing their rounds.

can u describe what sort of smell? i would like to complain

Ya. We shud complaint. To whom we shud compliant, mbsa?

yes. if so bad, jabatan alam sekitar too, right ?

guys, please complaint to mbsa on the smoke and smell from factory http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2425360/+940#bottom

The construction next to the shop lots is for a petrol station, it's already there in the masterplan for AI, which u can see from the AI website..

Anyway, i've moved in for 2 weeks now in Canting 3 but din really notice the smell, maybe too much time indoors will try to see if its really there

Occupancy on my street is quite good, right now i've already met most of the neighbours/owners and there's just 1 unit that is till up for sale and another for rent, so i guess my jalan has slightly better than that reported 20% occupancy...lol. The bulk of them are targetting to move in within the next 2 mths so i guess we'll start to fight for parking spots by mid of this year

Guys, nevertheless, please report to mbsa on Meru Palm Oil Mill:

good to see canting members getting more active.

wondering why AI community forum is not active at all...Any ideas?

TTDI is the most active. All spira, zircona, viola under 1 thread.

For I&P, canting got own thread, pentas got own thread, ukiran got own thread. But the most active is pentas thread.

which forum are you pointing to? I'm referring to the official forum at http://alamimpian.forumotion.com

Holy shit. I made a mistake. Yeah, not active la that forum. I thought you were referring to actve thread in lowyat.net. We should promote that forum.

my new house is also in 19C, movingin probably 3rd quarter 2013.

going to do some renovation.

anyone have any ideas, how many house is still not occupied in 19C ??

Not bad. Looks like more and more people are moving in!

Yeayyy!!! The more the merrier...

well, which house i won't say but you'll only find one car with a bike rack in the neighbourhood...so you can figure that one out yourself..i'm normally home after working hours, so come over if u wanna have a chat also

anyway, i'm oredi done with my reno and have moved in a month ago..if you need contacts, pm me and i can share whichever that you need, but if you haven't started, let me let u in on one secret, house renovation will be one of the most anal thing you have to go through in your life!! hehe
