Hi Son, few things you must know first.

1) There is a GLUT of highrise in Cyberjaya and this situation will only get worse. So do bear this in mind

2) Buying Studio from Developer is easy but selling in the secondary market is not that easy. This is cos studio is a very niche market. Most Family with 2 + 1 will want at least 800 sq ft and above. Unless they cannot afford 800 sq ft in a prime area, they will take say 650 sq ft but at a prime area.

Now, Cyberjaya is not exactly prime area, unless both spouses are working in Cyberjaya but there are many highrise in Cyberjaya, so why take such a small unit.

So, if u do buy, who is your target market when u wanna re-sell

3) Are u and your GF planning to work in Cyberjaya / Putrajaya. Else, u will spend a lot of time travelling to and from work, say in KL / PJ

4) size - 475 sq ft is really too small. U must see the showunit before u buy. Remember, no amount of ID can make a small house bigger.

Its good that u wanna buy at such a young age, but seriously, for RM300K, u can get bigger sub-sales Apartments in KL / PJ.

Just need to look harder

For instance, some apartments ranging between RM200K to RM300K

thanks for your in-depth explanation,

I consider about the re-sale value to the employees around Cyber, but come to think of it, me and my gf might work in Cyber , or close-by at least..

Sub-sale apartment have appreciate for all these years, and i'm not sure, but I feel like the space of appreciation for the subsale apartment won't increase much, compare to Cyber, which is growing (which my relatives were mentioning). not too sure about it though..

any thoughts?

rental to students/employees(couple maybe?) ? i know 465 sqft is quite small, maybe because I lived in an apartment of 800 sqft before, with a total of 5 family members, therefore i feel for 2 should be ok for 465 sqft  haha xD

If you are working in Cyberjaya, then perhaps okay.

Still 475 sq ft is really small son.

Some other condo in Cyberjaya for u to consider. Some are bigger, 650 sq ft.

My advice is that u buy somewhere in PJ / Cheras.

That way, even if u work in Cyberjaya, u can still travel anti-traffic, less Jam but u have flexibility to work else where.

If u buy in Cyberjaya, u wil be pressured to find work there. may not be so easy

for the same price u can get bigger service apartment in Kajang, near to LRT

If u wanna invest here in CBJ, u do not need affirmation from strangers in LYN

Just do want u want - its your money

But if u ask for opinions, I believe majority > 50% + 1 will advice u AGAINST

Ya if you imagine based on show unit sure enough one, the size is like a standard hotel room. But in real life not like that, because:

Hotel
1) You only bring clothes for a few days.
2) You send your dirty clothes to laundry or wash them at home.
3) You only bring 1-2 pairs of shoes.
4) You only bring some snacks.
5) Room service will clean your room daily.
6) You don't cook because you have your breakfast at the hotel's cafe, lunch and dinner at a nearby restaurant.
7) You read newspapers and use your laptop on the desk.
8) Your gf spend the morning in front of the beautiful makeup table so she can hang out with you in her most beautiful look.
9) You take bubble bath with your gf.
10) The room is cool and comfort because you leave the aircon on for whole day.
11) In the evening you and your gf take a walk around the pool and use all the facilities like gym, sauna and etc.
12) You hug your gf beside the window at night and look at the stars, the night view of the city and make promises.
13) Before you sleep, you just turn off the lights and TV.
14) If your parents/ friends visit you from far, they can stay over by adding additional beds or just sleep on the box spring.

Soho/ Studio
1) You and your gf need to squeeze all the clothes, bags, towels, underwears into the tiny wardrobe, with an ironing board laying on it and an iron on the floor, and soon all the built-in storage is full and you will have to get those big & ugly storage box from Aeon/ Giant.
2) You need a rack beside the window (which might block the TV) to hang your washed clothes or hang it on the window grille (smell of "Fab"ulous morning "Breeze" all over your unit), and a washing machine either in your bathroom or your kitchen.
3) You will need a shoe rack, which is only a few steps away from your bed, with your dirty shoes on top/ underneath the rack because your gf uses up all the space.
4) Your tiny kitchen cabinet is full of snacks, instant noodles, soy sauce, salt, sugar, milo, canned food, biscuits and a value pack 20-rolls toilet paper on top of the cabinet. Oh ya don't forget the rice cooker, cups, plates, bowls, spoons, forks, chopsticks and other cookwares.
5) You need basic tools to clean your "house", e.g. broom/ vacuum cleaner, dustpan, mop, cloths, cleaning detergents, you will have no choice but to keep those tools in your beautiful toilet.
6) You give your gf a surprise candle light dinner on a tiny table and hope for a happy ending after that, but you and your gf end up changing and washing the bed sheet because the smell of steak is all over it.
7) You can't do much on your desk because there are laptop, mouse, speakers, internet modem, stationery, magazines, books, bills, vouchers, water bottles, snacks, air fresheners, phone chargers and etc with a bag hanging on your chair.
8) The makeup table is basically a pasar malam stall with all types of her renovation tools, cosmetics, skin care products, lotions, combs, perfumes, jewelry, hair dryer, hair curler, hair wax, hair spray and etc.
9) You and your gf don't spend more than 20 minutes in the bathroom because the mop inside the toilet is smelly, sometimes with lizard/ cockroach running around.
10) The electric bill is so expensive so you'll be using electric fan most of the time, oh ya you will need extra space for a table fan because the ceiling fan alone is not enough.
11) You and your gf use the swimming pool/ facilities once or twice a year, because you feel so tired after work and you don't have the mood to do so.
12) You and your gf spend few minutes in front of the window every night, to hang your washed clothes and bath towels.
13) Before you sleep, you need to pack all the rubbish and throw it to the refuse chamber because if you don't the smell of char-kuey-teow that you packed for your dinner will be all over your room and cockroach might disturb you in your sleep.
14) You don't have space to keep the additional mattress and even if you do, there is not much space to lay the mattress.

Anyway it's just my opinion and preference.. No offense notworthy.gif

Yep, of about 5-ppl that I know who bought Studio for own stay, ALL regretted for the reasons u pointed out. No amount of ID can make a small studio LARGER. Studio is only good to bring back chicks to BANG. Other than that, if u live alone, always eat out, its still ok but we all get old eventually and want something larger.

3 eventually managed to rent to cover their cost, 1 has to stay cos Market Value is below Acq Cost and 1 sold at a loss.

So beware of Studios.
