My wife family r from jb. I think many ppl misunderstood jb property market.

There r two kinds. The first type is owner occupied properties which normally comes in clustered landed, semi d, bungalows. This kind of properties has extremely good capital appreciation due to demand from locals working in sg who will only buy landed in their hometown.

The second type r investment properties which typically contain the name iskandar this or that. They can be located in city centre or suburbs far away from the city. This type of properties r bought by plenty of waterfish from kl, singapore n other overseas buyers. The demand for this type of properties is not as strong due to the the locals who earn in sgd will only buy landed prop.

So, to members who claim that jb property market is going down, bring ur cheque book to jb, lets see whether u can buy any properties on the cheap.

I'm positive on this forest thingy in d 7-10 year term.

China is the largest fdi into malaysia, and it will grow. Slap them in the face and the fdi will go somewhere else.

Japan was strong 30 years ago. That is no longer the case, they r 1/3rd the size of china now.

A lot of things are irreversible.

There are better way of doing it

China grew to be too lansi jor...

Someone needs to slap them once a while

Anywhere most of dealing w china under jibby wasnt FDI anywhere.

Just like jibby went to US tio buy aircrafts claining helping US financial situation.

This developer very powerful and even Singapore give in to them, they advertise Forest city buyer has private lane immigration access to Singapore. They build a private ramp to link to Singapore.

u see the kampung around affected kaw kaw by this development

been there saw it myself

it's a nice peaceful kampung, one day suddenly all these commies come with lorries, workers etc
but that time jibby said if change alignment forest shitty have to fork out the construction cost themselves for the forest shitty part HSR

forest city prices started from 600k rite?????

not like min price is 1mil and above. Tun just needs to stop saying its priced beyond our affordability.

but curious why a vast big area like Forest City, there is NO affordable housing de?????? not required by law to provide such housing? exemption?

as a partial johor lang... i can assure you seriously alot locals dont like forest city as their property investment or even own staying... even for those who can afford it.... forest city definitely at the last of their choice.... high-rises at those locations i mentioned are doing very well in term of new project sales.... this forest city stock level really gerak like siput...

but this is gelang patah wor... reclaimed land wor... around those lands closest to JB... this is not actually an option that worth more than rm1000 psf to the locals leh... if you travel to there from JB or from the new second link to sg before... this is consider as ulu location leh... if a local want high-rise at a decent location... mt austin, johor jaya, tebrau also better location options that this gelang patah with half of the price per sqft...

yeap... subsales and rental mati katak... but new project sales still running okay at those areas near to JB though... for forest shitty then yes... really middle of nowhere, expensive, small sizes but slightly near to singapore only... can see singapore port from the man made beach... haha

development all comes with price. if want to preserve mangrove and village fisherman, then no Langkawi pulau perhentian tioman PD and lain lain,

if one needs to build just for commoners, then dun have Klcc loh…..Klcc has caused price increases within the vicinity and its beyond normal kLite prices also.

yup correct... the first time i travel there from JB.... more than 35km... and alot of traffic lights on the way to there... how can you sell more expensive than JB price when its 35km away from city center...
yeap... correct... those are generally what the locals will still consider... but prop investment market there super bad... my fren unit at austin hill... fully furnished also 1100 per mth only... bot 400k last 3 years ago....

all cities are man made creation. if you don't build, how people can congregate and make it a liveable city?

dubai also banyak land reclaimed projects. 20-30 yrs ago dubai was just a barred dessert.

this is a USD100Billion project, one of the worlds biggest projects. Fed gov is not investing a single cent into it. You think foreign company just suka suka dumping usd100bil to burn in Malaysia without doing any due diligent?

there are many reasons why company prefer to reclaim land than acquire from existing shoreline land. Mostly to do with dealing with existing landowners.
reclaimed land you just need to deal with state gov.

half jb lang ma... alot of relatives still there... helped a few of my frens do market survey for their houses before...

yea seri austin hill condo... my fren bought it without asking me... and he is from KL.... he now keep ask me how to dispose it... subsales gonna rugi like hell... rental also rugi like hell... i told him why din ask some johor lang opinion before buying it...

subsales double storey there very good price though and not very far from JB...   

Bro dont like that, melaka people and johor people abit skewed with condo projects becos less condo project, so they tot condo very high class. They not like kl /selangor people where mostly prefer landed. I say most la not all.

Saying so becos me myself also is a malaccan and i can see thr shift of people buying condo despite landed cheaper. Sohai or wad

haha... why u macam directing your replies towards that guy himself one... hahaha... he just mentioned the mentality of malaccans aje... lol... to be fair... melaka is not as much lands as other states... so their thinking abit like KL lang is acceptable... but for johor... jangan la... seriously why buy condo... when beside u still launching a brand new landed project...   

I would buy a condo for ownstay in JB at the right price and right security measures in place.

This guy is local agent n he do property invest as well. Good Advise.

For investment, no way i be buying a condo.

Bro.. I am looking for capital gain, meaning price of the hse go up not go down. Condo price can go down one.. too many example of my frends kena.
U forget maintenance fee bro

I rather get landed at Gelang Patah, Pulai, Kulai, Senai, or Skudai Area. Mahathir already drop a bombshell, you all still dare to buy?
