THE TRUTH BEHIND THE SCENE
Dear all Bandar Rimbayu lovers, I am revealing some statistic (unofficial) for your reference, as I mentioned yesterday during the balloting process I said the best of the best buy in this launching is the Corner unit, the figure shown below proof me right. Summary of the findings :-

1. Those who bought corner unit is indeed enjoying a paper gain of 60K - 150K already
2. The developer is charging much more for end lot extra land, bout 50%-100% more than the corner lot
3. I may say the intermediate lot and the end lot owner is indirectly subsidizing the profit (paper gain) by corner lot owner, the similar situation was happened during The Reed @ YTL, the intermediate house owner was paying extra while corner and end lot are a steal.
4. Total units offer = 526, 24'x75' = 225 units (42.8%), 22'x75' = 301 units (57.2%)
5. Total unit taken by insiders = 164 (31.2%)
6. Total 24'x75' = 225 units, insiders = 75 units (33.3%)
7. Total 22'x75' = 301units, insiders = 89 units (29.6%)

8. Total units offer = 526 (Corner = 63 (12%), End Lot = 34 (6.5%), Angular = 10 (1.9%), Intermediate = 419 (80%))
9. Total insiders unit = 164 (Corner = 34 (20.7%), End Lot = 7 (4.3%), Angular = 2 (1.2%), Intermediate = 121 (73.8%)
10. Total Corners = 63 units, Insiders = 34 units (54%)
11. Total End Lot = 34 units, Insiders = 7 units (20.6%)
12. Total Angular = 10 units, Insiders = 2 units (20%)
13. Total Intermediate = 419 units, Insiders = 121 units (28.9%)

14. Out of 63 units of corner, I give AAA rating to 36 units
15. Out of 36 units of AAA corners, insider sapu 22 units (61.1%)!!
16. for 24'x75', 19 units out of 30 units corner are AAA rating, insider sapu 13 units or 68.4%!!

17. There is a central park which is located in the middle of Chimes, surrounded by 17 corner houses, the choice unit fr Top 1 - Top 14 booked by insiders!! The remaining 3 units are so so only.
18. 9.34 hse / acre - very low density living township.

bro, can't see the price list in the attachment, can pm me? thanks

Another question I have which need to consult sifu here is that with the outlook these days, would it make sense to go for the fixed interest loan as offered by Insurance company (ING, AIA) as opposed to those that is tied to a BLR?

Just get a conventional loan without lock in period. Then if there are signs that loan rates are going up, u can always refinance under a fixed interest loan. Current loan rates are quite low (4.20%) only. Only if loan interest rates go up beyond 5.30%, ill consider fixed interest loans.

But if u do so, do u think u can get the same fixed deposit rate which is being offered now?

Even if the rates are slightly higher, it wont make a huge difference compared to the extra amount ull be paying now. Current rates for conventional loans are min 4.15% now while the best fixed rate loans are about 4.85% (non ZEC). Bank Negara would need at least 3 rate hikes before the interest rate reaches that level. So far BNM has been reluctant to increase rates and i dont see that happening anytime this year. Earliest would be 2014. So uve got a good 3 years between now and the 3rd rake hike which would bring conventional rates on par with fixed rates. Thats 3 years of paying lesser interest which is quite alot for loans >500K.

As promised.

It wont give a 360 degrees view but just my simple opinion.

I agree with what you said. When I went on Saturday, I thought there would at least be 300 houses on ballot. When they started the balloting at 10am, the way they call out each ballot took so long I was afraid I have to stay till 3pm or something. I asked one of the staff if this is going to go on beyond lunch and was shocked when he told me that it will stop at around 11 because there was only 115 units for balloting. Then and there I wanted to pack up and leave! Why waste the time when there are 3000 applications (not 2000 because I heard number 2860 being picked, so it must be more than 2000 applications).

I dun think there are more than 1500 people in the hall, you need to check with IJM, last time YTL @ The Reed balloting number started fr 1001, 1002,...
If 1800-2000 still possible
I met a couple, they strike 8 & 49, the probability chances is 0.3%!!!
