oh !don't forget a few goats for good measure

you can get a 32' x 100' spacious New double storey semi-D with around 2300sq built up in Kg Boyan just 5min to town centre for around 760k

It reminds me of Penang 5 years ago when the average price of a condo is 400k to600k and everyone says "it's really not worth it" and that prices are hitting the ceiling. And now? the same condo is 50% to 100% increase.

Exactly. Same here in taiping. The town are are all built up so the prices keeps going up. The cheaper ones are on the out skirts.Same in Penang area like batu maung,balik pulau, property are very much cheaper when compared with areas like TG BUNGA,Greenlane area

To try and ascertain that an empty house means that that house has not been sold is like trying to find a pin in a hay stack.
to make it even more illogical is that you are just driving by......you can't know anything by just driving by.

The more logical way to find out "to an extend" is to contact a few real estate agents and inquire about the area that you're interested in.

Appreciation of a property depends on 3 things....location,location,location.
It is which area within Taiping that is "hot" and which isn't.
So getting an appreciation of 50 to 100% is not impossible,given the correct timing and of course the correct location.
Generally speaking houses of middle to high end houses appreciate more than lower end houses.

no need to buy a house to retire there.
My wife runs Taiping's first 5 star Retirement home in Taiping

hahaha. Long time la .It's in kg BOYAN near TMC

it's called Doris Lifestyle.

the main ones are only Toyo tyres and a Gloves factory..........that's all

Traffic at present only bad during holidays.
Normal days are ok but don't expect the roads are very clear. As you know traffic jams comes with progress

i saw only one resident

I'm referring to labour intensive industry as that will have an impact on properties because of the need for accommodation.

And to think that when i started it,most people think it's boring.

I doubt it's 40-50% sold.
even after less it's rm400sq/ft. which is around rm400k for 1000sq.ft and that does not include other fittings.
All in all it'll be rm500k for a 1000sq ft apartment,which in Taiping you still can get a pretty sizeable landed property.

thanks i'll do that

ya right.I forgot you found a way for tele transportation,you know,like Star trek.
so definitely 5mins travelling is a looooong time for you.

where have you been hiding?
Taiping has been a thriving town for the past 10years.
Growing and expending(in infrastructure & building & factories).

The last I counted,Taiping has 7 flyovers!

I doubt it will be like penang or melaka,as the work force here is totally different from there.
Far a starter the blue collar section here is scarce,as most would prefer to go to Penang or KL
