How many can buy a multi RM million home as his first property? But a person can for his second/third home if he has large capital gains from his previous properties. Trading up homes is a time honored practice.

But that doesn't explain the surge in high-end condos one bit.

Going from personal experience as well as statistics, most people trading up move from mid end condos to DSTH or DSTH to GnG, or trade up to semi-ds, bungalows, etc.

I have very few friends or acquaintances who "traded in" a mid-end condo to move to a high-end one (which costs as much or more than a DSTH) and fully zero who went the reverse (from landed to high end condo).

Majority of people purchasing high-end condominiums I would say are for "investment". Maybe as many as 90% or more.

That begs the question, who are they going to rent to? That's why you have even students staying at such so-called "high-end" condos such as Covillea etc. The rental market simply cannot support units at that price range.

I believe the high-end condo targets 50% or more on foreigners. Unlike Malaysians, I think countries like indo ,spore, hk, prefers the condo lifestyle with added security and peace of mind. I think even Malaysians are beginning to warm up to a condo-style life. Perhaps this is a paradigm shift, unlike prev generation, which will views that EVENTUALLY we should get a landed (good appreciation and more), esp the chinese.

I have many times in discussion heard about how they feel unsafe in a landed, even if it is so-called GnG. Indons in jakarta feels this way and to them, staying in a condo with malls below is great.... well done mid to highend with tesco (most important) +cafes + restaurants is the preference. The hassle of choosing and installing security on a landed (all side, front and back,roof), and still not feeling safe is a cause for concern. At least for me.

However, entry price is way high and climbing. Could I be missing the boat for the next BOOM before the eventual crash? What a dilemma.

Has anybody heard of Ruma Residences, Jalan Kia Peng? Cheapest is a 915sf unit going for RM 1,985,550 (after discount). That's a whopping RM 2,169 psf. But it comes with a GRR return of 6% which adds up to about RM 9,927 per month. Monthly loan repayment 90% at BLR-2.4% would be RM 8,233.

Different generations, different experience, different needs. You are around 30, single without kids, right? At that age and marital status, I lived in my own affordable DST house in KL, simple & basic, but landed, in a decent area. Did'nt have to start with a mid-end condo, then trade up several steps. Just did the one step. After some 12 years, married with 2 kids, sold the DST, moved to a larger detached house. No inheritance, no windfall but had good capital gain from DST house. Also spent 4 years overseas going after the money to help fund the deal. And yes, after the kids leave the nest, the reverse may happen. Sell the detached house, move to a comfortable GG condo with cash to spare. Several of my older friends have made this move.

Oh, the surge in high end condo construction has everything to do with land scarcity in KV and developers hunger to maximize profits from ever scarcer land resources. So long as there are buyers, irrespective speculators or owners, and there are willing lenders, the developers will build and sell.

Heard so many cases from the horses' mouths aka developers & owners on landed properties. Bungalow moved to superlink, landed moved to condos all due to security reasons after feed dup & have enough with couple of break in and tat was nearly 10 yrs ago.
