Actually buy for own stay, has nothing right or wrong as long as the buyer can adapt into the location quickly.
While I had study most of the Mah Sing's MR1 or MR2, I had little info about Glomac Saujana Rawang, where the 350 acres township is slightly smaller than both Mah Sings small townships. Unless, I have the master plan of Egreta and it's Saujana Rawang.
I only know little when I had the relevant info for the Botania, the 22x70 non G&G link houses with built up 2200 sq feet.
If Egreta 22 x 75 built up 2020sqft at RM 438,888, the pricing could be not cheap if compare to Botania itself. The foot print of 22x75 is quite nice but it would be a wasted if only 2020 sq ft was built and it was reduced by 200 sq feet from previous phase, Botania which is smaller land size at 22x70 but cheaper ( well, it was below RM 400k during 2011 )
If price to price comparison,
Egreta Saujana vs M Residence 2 Alpine
RM 438,888 vs RM 458,000 ( both before discount )
22x75 vs 20x65
Built up 2020 sq ft vs 1885 sq ft
Non G&G vs Fully G&G
Leasehold vs Leasehold
Individual title vs Strata Title

Thank you... I think the Egreta got 10% discount, the SA told me that you just need RM 2000, and you can process the loan and the price tag 438k is the after 10%.
Anyway, I take it as marketing strategy, raise the price to super duper high, then gives you 10% discount, and tell you don't have to pay downpayment

We pay for 438k after all, not them.
