just hold it for 5 years. for intermediates, rent it out at 1.2 - 1.5k a month just to make sure someone is staying there.

i think the net increase from non bumi and the bumi released units is about 3% - 5%.

Perennia selling price regardless of non bumi or bumi units is higher than Chimes because they have bigger land area and built up

alam impian by i&p or TTDI alam impian by Naza both have increased in value for the past 3 years. 2010 average pricing psf over land area is about RM250 - 300 psf, and recent transactions should be around 440 - 460psf over land area.

btw, received a sms from Naza stating that their latest phase, emerald will be launched 14th april, from RM770k onwards for 22x80sf (1,760sf) @ 438psf. looks fair to me, comparing to rimbayu's pricing at about RM380psf over land area. a 15% premium for freehold tenure?

wow that's high! even higher than kota kemuning prices. i still remember their original first phase by Naza were launched at about RM450k only

you can still do gng, a proper gng development must be stratified.

ttdi alam impian gng is more like a hybrid (not sure if it's correct to term it that way), where they utilize a single entry point to each phase, and have it gated. but it's still based on individual land title. Garbage disposal, road maintenance, public area maintenance all will still be maintained by the relevant authorities.

this should be similar to the phases in rimbayu as well, with single or a few entry points and have it gated (with consent from the owners)

yep it'll be a bit wrong to analyze directly the land area, and also wrong to analyze over the built up area as well. because even if you analyze over built up area, the land area have different sizes too.

but for sake of analyzing between phases / developments, psf of land area or psf over built up for landed still work for the layman. for those who really into it will analyze it to land and building values to take into consideration land and built up area differences.

however, it'll be useful if the two different projects have similar land size and built up area like:-

rimbayu perennia

1760sf land, 2,260sf built up @ RM660k @ 375psf over land area (ratio of built up area is 1.28 of land area)

ttdi alam impian (jln panglima awang 35/120, transacted in august & september 2013)

1400sf land, 1800sf built up @ RM618k @ 441psf over land area (ratio of built up area is 1.29 of land area)

1600sf land, 2100sf built up @ RM668k @ 418psf over land area (ratio of built up area is 1.31 of land area)

as you can see above, the ratio of built up area is almost similar across the 3 different types of terraced houses.

the differences in psf will be for size, location, accessibility, condition, tenure or anything you can think of that relates to a difference among them..

bro in actual fact, there's a huge rental market for landed homes in klang valley actually. but make sure you get a good tenant lol the rental return is low enough, the last thing you wouldn't want is the tenant destroying your house after 2 years!

do up a mini waterfall with a koi pond. good for fengshui!

most likely you have not executed the MOT and despite there's progress on construction work, your loan provider is not able to drawdown the progress payment to the developer, and therefore no interest incurred yet so far.

no additional discount? other than the bumi discount

bumi quota units still available but limited. you better drop by IJM sales gallery in bdr rimbayu to check it out. or wait for phase 3, forum member mentioned launching end of april

like a chinese saying.. things can simply eat.. words cannot simply say.. lol

got the sms as well. no point asking here now.. just go straight to the rimbayu sales gallery in bdr rimbayu and have a look for yourself. if you're really keen!

it's at least RM800k onwards and it's cluser home. a lot of fellow members have vested interest in rimbayu

remember to take some photos and post it here!

or is it it's only to get q number, and a later date for choosing units..

if the 70 q numbers are converted into confirmed sales, that means only left about 142 non-bumi units left for sale..

must be their condos in puchong.. and ioi resort

21st to 25th is to collect q numbers

and don't be surprised, when people start to sell their properties next year onwards, they may just add on another 5 - 6% increase in their selling price and tell potential purchasers "because of GST mahhh" lol
