Landed is leading 2:1.

I tot that time has changed, more people now prefer condo, look like i am wrong.

what does this have to do with age?

*new generation prefer condo*

just want to check if this statement really true.

i born at 1984, been staying in condo for 10 years when i am a student.

i still prefer condo now because more view and windy

but what if i am 60 years old and prefer staying in condo?

haha, then the statement might be change already.
anyway, here almost all rich rich investor.. i should do it on a more general platform

I stayed in landed for the last 23 years... before that i stayed in high rise too, but i still prefer high rise... last few props bought also high rise..

Very tough and tight situation.

Sometimes, we might buy or live in something ( ex. condo ) not we dream of ( like landed )

I notice a lot ( esp 27-36 range) like landed as well, but due to either one or two issues of budget, convenience, security mind set, wife or gf issue, family issue and etc they end up staying in condo.

I couldnt pick mine as I love both landed ( must be G&G in newer facade / township) or condo ( conveniences / majority familes ) Just depends on what situation we pick in.

I prefer to stay in landed house but invest in condo & apartment. how am i going to justify that?

is this really true; condo is much safer than landed?

I'm born in 1986, but can't wait to get my first landed property...condo is a good place for own stay with minimum hassles, but landed is anyday better. The problem with landed is, you need the cash to make it a comfortable place to stay...peace of mind especially. My requirement for a landed prop is high walls (so it has to be a corner lot) and at least 2 guard dogs capable of killing and a good alarm system. All this takes money which is the challenge.

why share tht small piece of land with hundreds of people above u? buy land/house coz no one make land anymore. the bigger land size the better. condo for me is side orders.

Always prefer landed with freehold...high rise? sorry la not matter how high end it is.....a piegon hole is still a pigeon hole.

same thoughts bro.

now live in condo.

nanti age 50, i prefer landed

nanti age 60, i prefer landed

nanti age 70, i prefer landed

nanti age 80, i prefer landed

nanti age 90, i prefer landed. ( hope i mati before age 100)

mati nanti, i still prefer landed.

They got nothing better to do, or they just don't like to reply to other's post, they prefer people reply in their post. Haha

Not all high end is pigeon hole le. Binjai On The Park Super Penthouse (19,180 sq ft, 4 floors with swimming pool) makes those average landed looks like pigeon hole. Haha.

I can't accept when entering into the bathroom, it likes somebody is 'sitting' above your head...

i rasa if ask in terms of people preference, of course people will chose landed. who in the earth dont want landed house?

the question should be ask is actually - which type of house you "Afford" to buy?

baru la banyak orang (especially 1981 above) vote for condo/apartment.

i personally prefer landed over condo.. stayed in both before and there are pros and cons of each...

i dislike condo because of the parking.. and usually after grocery shopping i will have a big hassle to carry all the stuff up to my house... while landed i can directly park in front of the house and unload my stuff.. and parking not an issue anymore..

We need to compare apple to apple la bro.
If you compare a super penthouse, then you should also refer to landed super bungalow too right?

i've live in a condo for 10 yrs now... and had enuf of it.
sold off condo & bought landed.

I am 1984 & I chosen Condo at prime area.

Will move to Landed when children grow bigger and needed space.

Maybe eventually during retirement will move back to Condo (also at prime area) when the nest are empty.

If you can afford Binjai Penthouse, you dont have to be in this discussion anymore...

You said "sorry la not matter how high end it is.....a piegon hole is still a pigeon hole." first. I just show you an example ma. Ok la don't say Binjai, standard 1000-1800 sqft also not consider pigeon hole gua.

I didn't say I can afford also. If can afford then only can talk then you shouldn't talk too.

+1

some people just dont understand how to compare.

Landed house, got my own parking lot, no need walk so far and no need to take lift.
Once home = home.

If money not a concern, of course landed with G&G with facilities lar. But how many can afford?? Nowadays, security is the main concern. I heard that even landed G&G also not safe. Got break in case. Where can we find a safer place to stay....

look like most people wanted landed home.

In fact there is no right or wrong.
Lifestyle is very much different btw the two and it's purely personal choice.
However, in general ppl prefers landed than high rise.

it's all luck whether the condo or landed property is safe or not however much precautionary measures we take.
you can have so many tiers of security yet if some high tech thief wants to come in he will come in one. be it landed or condo.

if can for sure landed property la.

landed ftw!!! but i might just go for condo when i retire. good to own both types now.

Condo=bee lifestyle
bangalow = snell lifestyle

Most people prefer landed home because they prefer privacy and convenience as well as better value.

I live in a landed property all my life. My house broke in by robbers before thenafter ... I feel that it's unsafe to stay in a house unless it's gated and guarded. Even still I've heard gated guarded community broken in by robbers too!

I prefer condo for better security - not totally safe but better security.

WTH is lifestyle? Condo has lifestyle n landed no lifestyle?

i wonder if anyone did read my question and scenario carefully?

to be more precisely, i put a real sample here as this is most common scenario face by first house owner/young generation now.

Condo: a 900-1200 sft condo at town area like pj,cheras,bukit jalid and setapak with LRT (walking distance),good security ,easy access, facilities and shop with walking distance.

Landed: a 20x80 sft landed double story at out skirt area like rawang,setia alam,semenyik and etc. need drive to near by shop lot,no facilities,not near to public transport (walking distance)

if in this case still 65% vote goes for landed which mean rawang,setia alam and semenyik will still have a very good sales.

no new postings?

I prefer condo for convenience. The only reason I would choose landed is if I plan to have pets.

Still prefer landed...but with condo security and facilities like clubhouse and pool would be the perfect match...

You can enjoy your own garden, no upstairs or downstairs neighbours, no walking from the carpark to your unit and still has everything condo dwellers enjoy....

pro n con of condo

Most of The actual votes does not reflect into their real buying and actual staying decision.

I vote landed but only if good in terms of security, F&G or G&G, proper township with little landscaping, and the quality of neighbours. I dislike staying in hectic KL City but doesnt mind stay 15-20kms away if I found above.

For a peace of mind set, majority people would end up take highrise due to the minimal security was there and the convenience of house maintenance.

Preference is one dream but actual would be another.

I actually voted wrongly under "born in 1980-1985 and prefer condo". I actually prefer landed. Maybe some other people also did the same mistake. Kakaka

Haha. Bro AMINT, you're very obvious you are prefer landed from your buys.

I myself prefer both, but more on landed for longer n future term.

Next year, I might join u to enter the unexpected location of my own Semenyih.

Yeah i prefer landed. Obviously. But i think i will buy some high rise to just balance out. Semenyih has potentials. Just a matter of when

Just wonder.. will you consider Pajam, which just few KMs away from Semenyih? and Why?

I really dont like Pajam. I was about to buy a commercial prop there until i checked out the place. There was a huge smell of palm oil factory. This is near the gallery of seri pajam and near the bungalow and semid. Mind u, prop in Pajam also not cheap for the place. For that i rather choose semenyih

Thanks for the info. Btw, I'm exploring Seri Pajam's NADA ALAM.

actually, u can get the best of both world with gated and guarded developments, landed properties with clubhouse (i.e. gym, swimming pool, bbq, etc...)

Cahaya SPK, landed with club amenities in "FnG" area, built on solid rock hill, when it wains, feels like in Genting cos of the mist, windy

Few high end residential landed projects (GnG, condo facilities)in cyber can offer :-
1). Garden residence (Rm800K+).
2). Symphony Hills (Rm 1.4mil+).
3). Sejati residence (Rm 1.4mil+).
4). Setia Eco Glades (Rm 1.2mil+).

All comes with good concept n only if you think cyber is live able in future.

5 vs 2, landed wins by so much. Looks like landed still safe heaven for property investment. Gng landed will be the choice of most people i think. But majority good location gng are 7 figure now ..... Sigh ...

Staying in condo is good if you are always working or always out. If you want to really "stay in comfort" and have space to grow, nothing beats landed properties in g&g with facilities...space, fresh air, greens, parking convenience, privacy, quietness..

Most malaysians have a fetish to stay in landed

I prefer landed but bought condo
B'cos Landed easily >1mil in KL

If prefer location and has budget constraint, condo is good option.

Newly launch non gng terrace link still got below 1M still got, but around 30km +- 3km radius from KLCC. Need to travel abit la if work in KL.

Currently prefer Condo, but will prefer condo when I got more kids. I`m born at 1984

i dont think anyone would opt for condo if it isn't budget constrain issue.

Not true. I prefer staying in condo. Especially if its not from an investment angle but pure staying angle.

Try asking yuppy ladies as well. I think that segment may skew to condos too.

i would buy both.

Landed property more freedom and much more better, dont mind to drive.
and landed utility bills much more cheaper..
I stay at condo also never utilize the facilities at condo now lol.

i prefer landed, more flexibility and i like diy alot and repairing my ride .. so landed would be more feasible ..

Har?dont get u...typo?

Small family - Condo
Big family - Landed

i prefer condo. Landed is boring and tiring. Need to walk so far to reach the kitchen and or bathroom. Also need to shout out loud to call someone. So torturing.

By e way, prefer is 1 thing realistic is another thing .. What is e Objective of this survey?

Young time - condo
Family time - landed
Old time - condo

omg the bias. you might as get a flat if you complain about distance from kitchen to bathroom.

Why need to get flat when you can get a condo in decent size? Come on, you try la calling your kids on third floor when you are at grd floor or crawl down from third floor to grd floor to get a glass of water.

I prefer landed cus I am staying at 1800sqft landed house in cheras...it so spacious...no need pay maintenance fee..can park any where as we like...for your info, our family got 4 cars....also, if buy condo, people tak bayar maintenance fee, whole condo will become run down, look like shit, value will also go down....buy condo?no way...the terrace I own last ttime only 250k , now shoot to 800k....haha

really?

how abt when you are old and u stuck in the lift? u have medical emergency, medical team has to come to your highrise on 22th floor and get you to hospital? I guess alot of people forget why condo even exist in the first place.

Comparing GnG landed with binjai penthouse? comparison is wrong because you should compare to a mansion. Yeah, beat that shit coz you see theres helicopter there.

now almost everyone have hp or ipad/tablet...ping them with fb,wechat,kakatalk or whatever lor
As for drinks, subjective, can ask maid bring upstair or bring water container

to be honest, this is a weak reason to prefer condo over landed. Of coz you have reason for your own, not everyone can accept this kinda reason.

Depend on how you see it. When I'm old, me & partner sure want security & smaller space to take care. If want to live in condo also will prefer lower floor.

Why you comparing Mansion with Binjai penthouse?
Anything I said in this thread about it?

ikr. u just press your auto gate and park ur car. No need to go few floors to get to your parking space. Later wait for your lift. Share lift & facilities with complete strangers.

that is off topic.

ok. If I able to afford that, off cos Mansion lor
with lake & horse stable somemore ...lol

I'm dreaming too early now

prefer condo doesn't mean can't get another landed to keep ma. Buy one each can solve the problem already.

you can ping 1000 times but still no reply then how?
dun like to live with maid la. can't afford also.

send 1 more message "will block IP in 2min if no response"
work for me

ur kid?

I don't agree that condos has good security... it's actually dangerous especially for girls to walk from the parking to the house. The staircase is the perfect hiding place for criminals to hide before attacking the victims.

Just my 2 cents

opinion well accepted.

just now building shaking!!! i choose landed!

where??

landed, i dun mind driving.. if can i dun even wanna live in KL... why ppl need condo? it is becoz we cant have that many landed prop in cities... if really condo > landed, u will be seeing kampung with condo instead of landed house.

Attacks in lifts are quite common too.

besides that, most newly built condos nowadays are very high density... u never know who's in the building

1985 - if possible I would choose G&G landed but due to financial constraint at the moment I have to opt for Service Apartments with good security.

Damn...it earth quake around 4pm...our Condo here dont anti earth quake

Take note that the poll is age-biased because most senior citizens dun surf web. My interpretations:

- Overall for every 3 person, 2 prefers landed while 1 prefer condo.
- Those who prefer landed are mostly in their 30s-40s, and their purchasing power should be much higher than those who prefer condos who are in their 20s-30s.

So the demand for landed will remain much more than condo. The landed prices are also more likely will climb than condos as the buyers tend to have better purchasing power.

MY have earth quake???
Flooded Yes, Plenty!!!

Brothers & sisters, please vote this:

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2850264/+160

over supplies of condos r worrying. appreciation in value is questionable.

Prefer is a wish, reality is what we have now or future...... So u might not totally wrong

the prob with the property market is that, the values r high, but it has exceeded the affordability of the mass market n therefore lots of condos remained unsold for a very long time n by unsold, i mean in the subsale market...

Landed preferably for own stay, but high rise gives better rental yield.

Though when I stay in a landed property, I'd make sure there's good security + a couple of guard dogs. Msia isn't too safe nowadays unfortunately.
