I believe for price > 800K, really not easy to sell. But you will surprise later to find out all unit had been kena sapu. It may not kena sapu overnight, especially during the soft market sentiment. For own stay, you won't regret if you buy it too early. But for short term investment, think twice.

After five years and above, you will find that how come last time price so attractive also don't want to sapu..... man always like that.....

Rule of thumb is: dont buy if u cant pay. Simple.

May be a little bit out of topic:

In what condition do you consider start purchase your dream house:
1) When you have enough 10% to make the down payment?
2) When you afford to pay the monthly installment?
3) When you have extra money for the renovation?
4) Do you keep extra money for emergency? If yes, how many months?

When you think you are ready for your dream house?

If you wait for longer to accumulate your 'bullet', the appreciation of housing price is faster pace then you can save. You would end up in a dilemma.

Some just said, "trade up"..... but some said this is the tactic that developer lure you to buy their house. You end up working for the bank to get a house.

Ha ha.... do not rotan me for asking silly question....

basically when i buy, i don't have 10% to make down payment, have to refinance
i can't afford to pay monthly installment, even if now, pay current house after refinance, also struggling
don't have extra money for renovation
no extra money for emergency, but got buy insurance..

so i guess i'm playing with fire, don't learn from me

i still have 1.5 years or lesser to come out with the solution... (must talk lesser here already )

i'm not ready, but don't want to wait.. after 2 years.. also can't afford one..
i plan to buy this, and push myself to work harder & think of solution!..

but better don't learn from me
crazy one...hahaha

Wow... you are superb. Sometimes you just need the 'extra' pressure to push you for working hard.....

But it is true, if you wait for longer time, you will end up with smaller house because our salary always can't catch up with the inflation. Trade up seems to be the only solution.

Continue in this trend, bank will start offer the loan for "TWO" generation. Parents ==> Child

For me, I'm a bit better than you. I had down payment + some fund for renovation / emergency. But I won't have enough for the monthly installment. So now is the time to "TIGHT" my stomach......

Hahaha. Both of you, your decision should be the correct. these 2 years work harder lo. I also always tell others normal saving really hard to fetch the appreciation of house price, so catch up now.
But of cause not ask them buy those price which higher than their capability 50%.
But buy those you TIGHT your stomach or within 2 years (you think you can work out something) later you can still catch up the installment and some other costs.

hahaha...
i korek sana sini for the DP... i proceed to buy just because I can get the loan... the rest...I'm thinking right now what to do...

Good to you......

I proceed to book once the bank officer said I'm eligible for the loan. Without think twice, pay the booking fees and proceed for loan arrangement.

VP soon...... already start service the interest...... must find one tougher tali to ikat my perut now..... ha ha ha

luckily just start paying 2 month ago...and VP so soon...

Got chance to enquire about the phase 4 scarlet metal decking
SA told there will be rockwool layer
So no worry on metal decking

Actually phase 4 quite special, very high ceiling, and wide entrance. quite spacious.

Wat is the ceiling height ?

If I'm not mistaken it's 13 feet.

Yeah, all rimbayu phases so far designed for natural light in the house
Old design like my current house quite dark, want to read in the living hall must on light even on day time...
