Wow that's good. But is it easy to find tenants at that pricing ?

My unit after furnishing and fittings rented out in less than 1 month. You have to budget some money to put in basic furnishing and fittings.

bidded in august, bumi lot, direct transfer with 1k admin fees (no double MOT), loan disbursed this week. 1 extension penalty due to more than 90 days, took about 4.5 months from bidding to now loan disbursed.

own stay, work at subang airport area. Dont know about investment, but happy for own stay.

see many comments here, so just sharing as actual buyer.

Congratulations! I believe you bought at the right time and at the right price (since auction unit). Kwasa Damansara is stirring into life and will lift up the surrounding areas eventually...

Serious you wanna make a student hostel/refugee camp your holiday home? Doesn’t sound very luxurious to me.

I’m sorry if I’m coming across female doggish in these threads. But I feel a duty to slap some sense into people.

i think you mean kick them when they are down, pour salt into wound etc. etc. Slap sense into people is for when they still have time to reverse course.... laugh.gif

Mostly SA type which is the serviced apartments. When launched i already pengsan after knowing the high asking prices. Now drop below the sovo unit prices but the SV type is much smaller hence lower maintenance costs. Good for own stay.

It's a steal honestly at those prices. I've always admired SDB as a developer but their recent high rise buildings haven't been doing so well lately.. This one the pricing just doesn't fit the location, the commercial components is also suffering as a side effect. Perhaps in 5-10 years when Kwasa develops and population kicks in, this service apartment may finally make sense.
*
Haha, yes many bought on the strength of the SDB name. Unfortunately things did not pan out as expected. At current lelong prices, it is very cheap. The best we can hope for is to rent out and hold on until Kwasa and the surroundings develop. At least the place is not difficult to rent out and the rent covers the interest portion of the loan.

Good news to interested lelong unit buyer over here.
Developer now allow direct transfer for lelong unit at SqWhere.
You can save up a big amount of money.

Plenty of units available in the lelong market as usual from here.
Good luck.

All the auction units listed are for 980 sq ft and above and are serviced apartments. You don't find many sovo units affected by lelongs. Sovo easy to rent out but some top up needed. I guess the owners who bought sovo got no problem to hold.

These were all loopholes in the past to build at commercial densities as liveable offices. They were never meant to be used as residential premises.
*
Yes, loopholes where folks can make into residence. Don't know why government regulations do not allow for studio and 1 bedroom unit especially when the price p.s.f is so high. So it is partly the government's requirements which cause massive losses. Nobody can deny this is not the wisest of investment choices but the climate then was very different where property prices were going through the roof and there was no rumahwip/ rumah selangorku etc. The situation has changed now.

At this price range yes it make sense to punt. But the pathetic commercial downstairs.....

Good catch. Roughly 50% off the ori developer price. But Kwasa nearby not learning the lesson or they know something we don't.... their launching prices are at the ori sqwhere prices.

The developer has no choice.

It is cost plus profit margin for them, not so much supply Vs demand and secondary transacted prices.

The only way now these Developers can do is offer cashback and low down payment. However these also attract financial weak purchasers.

BNM should clamp down financing based on SPA but instead...based on nett price... Buying property is long term commitment and purchasers should have at least 10% ready before commit to it.
*
Yup, you summed up the problem well. Property prices cannot go down much as the costs have risen a lot. But the general population cannot really afford a 500k above condo. I reckon the affordability of the average person to be around 250k to 350k per apartment.

I heard SDB's management managed to sign a deal with Taylor University Veterinary Faculty. The Taylor University Veterinary Faculty is currently under renovation & will occupy the commercial lots.

I believe Sqwhere already hit bottom lah... the only way is up from here on. Those that bought under auction cheap will enjoy good returns.

Still plenty of lelong units from here and also DSara Sentral.

980sqft (but should be bigger size if include the outside foyer area), sold at 350K.
Bid up from reserve price of 261K (dirt cheap price attracted bidders as usual).

Good catch?

Bumi unit. Very good price. However mind the double transfer costs and the outstanding maintenance costs, easily high five figures.
