I knew Darween is the Merrum purchaser and he mentioned that he shall use it for own stay. Nevertheless, to do a survey here on who use it for own stay is a bit unreliable I suppose. I think even the acting president of SP Setia also can't answer the question "how many really buy for own stay".
First, sample size is small. Out of more than 1000 units sold in Setia Ecohill, I feel that there is less than 50 owners are active in this forum. The survey based on less than 5% of the total population size from my perception is not really representative.
Second, to justify a person whether shall use the unit for own stay or investment in a few of lines in this forum is very unreliable as well. One person can be firm to use it for own stay in the forum, but actually he is use it for investment instead.
Therefore, to get the actual percentage of how many people take it for own stay, you would need to wait some time (at least 6 months after the VP) to see if there are people to move in. Of course by doing so, you would be able to clear your doubt in a more solid manner. Nevertheless, at the same time you also need to bear the risk till more people moving in, the selling price most likely will be jacked up again or the unit you desired is no more available for sale.
Since you have all these uncertainties, why not leave this project and target some other project which is already in mature condition (already with established population) or even nearer to KL?

Hi Sam Kor,
Thanks for replying on my behalf.
Yes, I bought Merrum and it is for own stay. I have been a Kajang bred for a while now - and, most of my friends are now moving towards Semenyih due to affordability and accessibility.
The town is well planned amid the influx of new developers unlike Kajang town.
New amenities are expected to sprout up within Semenyih.
I am not even remotely considering to sell. Maybe my current DSL Corner in Kajang town could be up for sale.
