$1K can live in brand new huge house with solar powered heater and free one year Unifi. Quite a great deal, really, if you don’t mind being in a new developing area.

you are correct, but some do like living in new house.
you might buy a sub sale freehold house but then you gotta add renovation cost and it became more expensive.

just wana ask a noob question. can the price of new house be adjusted? saw written in spa Ada one column say price adjustment in per square metre in accordance to clause 12

If you already bought leasehold properties then good luck to you. after 50-60 years your lease  will be left 30-40 years . you or your children  want to sell also no buyers ... so how come your think landed leasehold is on par with freehold is beyond my understanding.

The deviation btw actual and the layout per the SPA should be 2% instead of 10%.

Think of it this way. We are buying not to resell during our children's time 50 years later. We are buying so our children have a roof over their head, 50 years later. At the rate the economy is going, I doubt they could afford anything when they graduate.

That's why you're a BeanCounter instead of MoneyCounter...be more long sighted!

I think some misunderstanding... I do not think TA+BR+ES+Gamuda will be end like up like ghost town like Bukit Beruntung...

From investors POV, it is all about ROI and how quickly you get it. Some forumner said 20-30years with reference to BU etc... Do you aware that at initial years of BU the cap gain is not great?

Township take time to mature and if you subscribe to Life Cycle Product philosophy sometimes the best time to buy is not the beginning but when growth is picking up. For example investors who bought Setia Alam during 2009-11 made much more money compared to 2006-2008.

My 2 cents.

no need to be so defensive. This is an open forum and its good to hear views from all angles especially for those potential buyers. The views are nothing personal hence just keep an open mind. Obviously, you have bought rimbayu and made your choice . For me when we buy landed, its important to go for -

1. location (semenyih, TPG, Nilai, etc  better avoid ....)
2.freehold (this type of land will appreciate in value the longer it gets)
3.accessability ( nobody wants to get stuck in traffic when they get out/come back to their house)
4.convenience - school, banks, post office etc  nearby if possible
5.price  - any property bought a decade ago is a good buy as they had appreciated 2-3 times. However,  at current price of  700K , chances are slim of that happening again

Normal la, people already married, and u keep on saying people wife not good ..for you also defend la.. All sama saja...

Funny is, he is the one that started with 5 points of not buying rimbayu

  What I mean is the price very high.... one of the project maintenance fees is RM600 per month 

No matter what project you are buying now, I don't foresee you can make money easily (no matter FH or LH).  However I do not expect the 'greedy' developer shall drop their price anytime.  All the big 'taikor' got enough money to hold on.  For another big leap in property price, may be need at least 5 years from now.  Now is good time for you to buy for own stay only.  Not really worth it for short term investment. 

Compare to the time when I just get my first job, the starting salary really not much change (less than RM1,000 different) I can said.  However the price of a landed house had been increased at least 3X (before FH landed = 200K, now LH landed = 600K) 

The next generation going to    working whole life just for a house 

some ppl told me i'm stupid or insane to buy a property in rimbayu for own stay. I'm working at KLCC. Distance 46-48KM (one way) but then again to get a house below 750K in klang valley is almost impossible. Unless you buying condo. thats a different story.

Landed house which costs 750K below in klang valley? hell no.
i think we should not condemn ppl choice. if he or she likes rimbayu then just buy it. We are all are adult we can make our own judgement. Shouldn't advise ppl where to buy. in fact you should be happy for them to own a landed property. not easy to own one nowadays. It's their money why so kepoh
