The property prices seems to growing up fast in Taiping.
It's like Penang 10 years ago.If that's the trend,i'd better jump on it....
Does anyone have any clue on it.

Good Luck

???????

everything in taiping is extra slow. good luck in investment. duno who wana rent from u

obviously you haven't been to Taiping lately.

I tink good luck mean you velly lucky. Quik quik buy.

ya lah simply tembak..! miss- know- all ..

taiping is no more the sleepy town that i grew up in - come holidays, the roads, restaurants, makan places are
super jam and a real pain
many hotels have sprouted up and retirees are moving in due to the lower cost of living - the preference is for
property within walking distance to the lake gardens and amenities..

i know of this block of walk up apartments next to the lake gardens - 5 years ago , only selling at 90k now
250k..

hello Taiping lang

hello hello

should buy prop in taiping earlier.... nowadays price crazy.... landed could easily reach 600k-800k....

own stay ok lah... nice town... after 10 ten years sell double

no need 10years.
prices already double for those who bought 3years ago.

600-800k are for semi-d prices range.

link house already 400k-600k nowadays.... i dont think the price will face any correction in future....

Actually Taiping property prices increases rapidly since the last 3 years,
Before that from year 2000 till 2013 the prices were not moving at all.

What size of the landed can reach 800k in Taiping? Semi-D?

around 3000sq ft land with 2400sq ft built.
But it has to be in a good residential area.
By that I mean your neighbours house should be semi D or bungalows.

taman suria permai 22x80 priced at 400k++ (double storey intermediate unit)
taman tekkan impian 22x75 priced at 220k++ (single storey intermediate unit)



need to stay outside taiping for cheaper 1 like taman larah ria... aiyaaaaaaaa

Price will double again in 3 years time, bbb else will miss the boat.

There will be winners and there will be losers in the property market.
But one thing is a fact is that if you can wait it out,then the rewards will be how much? rather than if I made any....

new developement in lake garden.... old laksa port infront tennis court.... nice view + nice price.... dunno when will be launch.... any1 has idea...??

I'll check it out tonight

Must be the West Coast Expressway effect.

How about Teluk Intan? any positive impact to property there from WCE?

how many apartment are in taiping...?? i only know 2...

1. Crystal Creek : lake garden
2. Centre Point Suite : tesco area

How was the market...??? Occupancy rate...??

One more along tesco road. Cornerstone.

3 only...???

yup,so far only 3........but from what i hear,sales not so good.
prices almost same as a house.....so people here still prefer house(majority that is)

i heard that only Cornerstone Condo sales not so good... Crystal Creek seems better... dunno about Centrepoint Suite...

Went to Crystal Creek Showhouse.... only few units left.... lowest is on 17th floor....

all developers will say "few units left" that is cos they want to sell those less popular direction first.

why staying birdnest when u can have nice landed subsale.....

for the time being,that's the mentality.
But Taiping town has run out of landed properties,and therefore pushes the prices up.
so for those who wanted to live in town area,apartments are the answer.

crystal creek is an eyesore..really spoil the forest scenery with its ugly building façade - moreover its
just beside the old cementery and now its expanding to accommodate more "residents"..

so if looking to buy got to make sure you don't get a view of the cementery ..

Anyone knows what is the progress of Cornerstone? it should b ready by now..

for taiping the old bungalows around the lake gardens in the vicinity of aunsay gardens are a better buy - many have bought and renovated into 2 and 3 storey mansions!

KL play until wanna kaboom now find new area pula .. hahaha

they have finally painted the entire building on the outside.
Structurally it's all completed.
but looking at the rate of progress,I figure easily another 6mths

thanks

condos in taiping only good for own stay for now - one of the big attraction is security as taiping is getting more and more crime prone as more and more people flock into town

Unfortunately yes. Taiping petty crime is pretty bad.
My own experience..... 2 units water meter,2 units AIRCON compressor, a few ma hole covers.

Cornerstone also around 70%-80% progress.... mayb need another 6-12 month....

i almost buy crystal creek... luckily i went into the contsruction area and the view is not really that great... i thought i can have lake garden view... only tower B can have lake garden view... tower A will have taiping n simpang town view....

agreeeeed...!!!! town centre does not seem to have new landed development... plus the crime rate is also increasing.... those guarded n gated really attract me....

Get a good well trained guard dog....... It solved my problem

dont really have that option since im muslim....

mayb can pet well trained monkey...

depend on location la.. now boom up is kamunting area.. other still steady steady

oh so sorry,i wasn't thinking

not really,I think across the whole of Taiping in general.
Tesco is btw kamunting and taiping town
Corner stone near town area.
Cyrstal creek in Lake garden.
A huge shoplot project (finnished) in Tupai.

Actually there is no new development in Kamunting now.

no sweat bro....

those centrepoint suite seem to be a good highrise in taiping.... but i dont know any about occupancy rate....

facilities is all there.... buyer mostly genuine buyer since a dont see too many for sale sign.... can u check it bro...?? i got offer 330k for 760sqft.... seem a bit high...

seriously,I think condos in Taiping are overly price.
I'm basically from Penang,so I'm comparing the prices of both areas.
Given that condos in Taiping is relatively new,you have no idea how they are managed and believe me,management is of utmost priority.
If the garbage you see on every corner of the road here,I've my doubts that they can be managed properly,I might be wrong(hopefully).

Centrepoint suite is very strategically situated.Occupancy i would say 30-50%.
but 330k for 760sq ft which works out to be rm430/sq.ft is damn high even for Penang standard.
But than again that's the price they're asking for and you VERY FEW choices in Taiping,so I guess they're using this angle(Scarcity) to hike up the price.
If you have a choice,I'll get a nice comfy house.

i dont see my -place (taman kaya area) there increase alot.. but there is alot of development there.

This will be a temporary hype only. Same situation happened to Manjung area few years back

You might have missed the opportunity already. Like im in subang. In year 2010 ish. The prices for a landed 24x75 was around 300k but 4 years later its 700k to 800k. Ever since then it didnt change much in terms of pricing

Overall the sales for Condominiums/Apartments are not doing well.....the developers here are over optimistic.

For the same price I can get a better ROI in KL.

it is strategically situated.... with the security offered, might considering there.... surely i can get new corner unit around desa pengkalan or taman larah ria with that kind of price but i cant have the same convenience n safety there...

nearest it town developement is taman tekkah impian located behind GIANT.... but it is located deep in aulong area.... any1 can propose any new development near taiping/kamunting town...???

Since you are in Taiping, get a flock of geese.... most robbers will stay out of your house.

Anyway, my taiping house is only worth 150k in Taman Sri Hijau, single storey with small 10feet of land, so I dont think the property prices are increasing dramatically across the whole town (probably hype too).
However, it is a good place especially for me and my family to go back once in a while to get away from the hustle and bustle of ibukota.

geese might be a good option... thanxs bro....

subsale market in taiping are much more better than new developement... targetting 1st time home owner.....

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

Condo/Apartments here are a hype only. most were bought as investment units.

If anyone gonna fork out 330k for 760 square feet, u must be crazy.
for that kind of money, u can buy a land in the old village area and build a big bungalow, 40 x 80 landed area at least.

investment better go for KL or penang, there can get back rent.
taiping rent rate is around rm 500 - rm 1000 (double story house)
that also hard to rent out, since so many other units for rent.

taman kaya prices really slow, even the new housing area just at the entrance failed to sold out, chii wonder why.
not overpriced but just cannot sell.

so many /k from here

Solid point.....

But if condo/apartment here were bought as investment unit, i dont see too many unit for sale n rent at centrepoint suite. checked with airbnb oso does not find any unit there.... mayb for long term flipper i guess....

sure i can build a big bungalow 40x80 with 330k in batu kurau or changkat jering.... but the petrol cost will be much higher to get to taiping town....

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

no need so far, pokok assam and aulong have these empty lands, u can buy those.
btw simpang/kamunting still alot of empty land, u just need to find

alot of outside ppl actually bought those units at centrepoint, last chii heard from developer.
long term investment or maybe holiday home.
some of the units there under rented out to foreigners.

yup....if u loaded, then can........really not worth it....chii think

Hello taiping lang!

Me too feels the price of new dev is absurd but it still get sold out.

New landed also not cheap unless you get those outskirts. Not really for investment cos there are still a lot of good priced subsale e.g kg jambu , tupai...simpang

thanxs for ur info....!!!! mayb i need to dig deeper into those area.... aulong lama in front of tycoon villa has so many for sale land around 90k-130k.... but looking at the access road there made me think twice.... plus those area seem to have problem with their mitigation n drainage system....

btw, have u went to the sales gallery for centrepoint suite....?? where is it...??

hi dude...

come2.. lets share your point of view about taiping property outlook.....

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.

but penang have issues with land shortage... no wonder the price will always go up....

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

yep.... developemeny now going to simpang n kamunting outside area.... even pr1ma project was build at ayer puteh....

word of advise, go and explore these areas, aulong, pokok assam, kamunting old area, simpang old area, kampung jambu.

u will notice alot of empty houses.

not saying that taiping property won't go up, but it won't be happening like penang, hitting 50% - 100% in 5 years.
my property went up 30% in 5 years, new housing estate in kamunting.

where is kamunting old area...??? simpang old area...??? might wanna explore those area when im in taiping.... where r u buying in kamunting new housing estate...??? interested to explore there also.... got a good deal also on kamunting mutiara.... how do u guys view this area...?? i found it a bit far from town centre...

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.

Didn't realise it's so popular now. Guess many people have the same thoughts of retiring there.

Was telling my wife a few years back we should get a house to retire there, but retirement's still 20-30 years away.

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

Interested . where is it. Old time can go back there hehe

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

the old area would be those original kamunting and simpang areas before being expanded out. alot of empty houses.

chii agree on most of your points. but seriously alot of empty houses in these areas and although low end houses, the land is big and can rebuilt on the old foundations.
well 100% increase did happen in town center taiping. 500k shoplot become 1M in less than 5 years during the booming property time.

what is the place name ? maybe can also go there when old.

it's called Doris Lifestyle.

taiping got what industry?

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

Some already reaching 1million border line. For eg, new houses near SMK King Edward

Retirement industry.

My parent and siblings still there so go back once a while in. Quarter. I see that land price is going up and up. With buyers too! Fast being snapped up. I guess there are still demand from cash rich.

But taiping traffic now quite bad , hate it

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

why is this topic moved to "kopitiam" ????- this should be in property section as it relates directly to property..

I guess you are referring to 3 Storey Noble Residence Houses.
Going for 850K+ and I think for that price you can get a bungalow house in Lake View.

Well Said.

In my book those "Hot" areas are :

Kampung Jambu
Asam Kumbang
Taiping Villa
Vista Avenue
Lake View
Taiping Heights (maybe)

Im living at Kampung jambu. The houses( chinese majority/ bungalow area side) really sky high now

Good for you...majority are business community.

macam no ppl live there.....altho completed

i saw only one resident

where is exactly taiping heights...??? is it the same vista avenue n vista hill...???

whats is your book...?? might wanna get 1....

Ayam Brand, Spritzer and etc are made in Taiping.

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

Taiping Heights is next to AEON Shopping Complex.

Taiping Heights

Last year I was informed only two units were sold.
The developer is filthy rich and they are not going to loose any sleep for the very poor sales.

Check this out.
The prices are surely not Taiping Standard.

Mudah Advert

and yeah what about Sunset Villa?

Luxurious Condo, which was launched about 2 years ago and their progress stuck at 3rd level.
Obviously the sales is very2 poor due to it's million ringgit pricing and I am very sure if this continues the project might be abandoned.
They have to revise the project like what Cornerstone Condo did otherwise it is doom and gloom.

Sunset Villa

what did cornerstone condo revise...???? i went to the sales gallery n sales team said the developer will not lower the price even 1/2 of their unit is not sold yet.... i only know that jalan istana larut business park was being revised....

for investment? probably no

for retirement etc a high yes
