Met a friend staying there last week. This guys basically doesn't mind travelling 45 minutes to work to Mont Kiara/Hartamas during off peak hour. Peak hour, no need to travel already.
I asked him why did he choose staying at Bandar Saujana Putra. He's answer was straight forwards - because the landed properties there are going for very cheap rental (less than RM900 for full house).
I advised him to considering buying one himself, but the landed prices has pretty much double in 5 years. He said he would considering staying in highrise as it's cheaper and more affordable.
I have my own reservations though. I'm afraid highrise prices would not experience strong growth as landed here.
To me, the reason landed properties saw a huge price increase is because comparatively, landed when it was launched at RM150-200k for a decent single storey terrace house is below Klang Valley's trash-hold. Aside from the 45 minutes drive to MK, it offers decent living. Now that the price are close to RM400k, I expect the prices of landed there to experience a slow down in growth.
Perhaps he might considering buying BSP 21 Service Residence, but I had to tell him to consider forgoing the highrise at BSP and look at bargains for landed here. There might still be money to be made.
The reason that you suggest to forgo the decision to purchase highrise at BSP, is due to the lack of Capital Appreciation in the long run?
