Some people still say mont Kiara oversupply?
Any owners here to verify? Numerically and experience. Manage to get increasing price trend?
Hard to rent out? Rental or selling price keep pressed down by prospects?
Rental decreasing or increasing?
How long vacant before rented out?

MK have a lot of condo. But many people still want to stay in MK.
Vacancy for some condos may be a bit high, especially for the very expensive units. Some condos i don't see a lot of vacancy, for eg: almaspuri. (based on lights during the evenings).
Rental is dropped a bit. But still can get tenants. (based on my neighbours experience).
can be vacant a few month, depend on your condition of your unit, whether it is a new condo or old condo.
for example verve suite if price is right, i heard quite easy to rent out.
selling price not really pressed down. Those people who can hold will hold it tight . Also depend on the condo, the unit type and so on.

Hi all
I am also looking for condo in MK for now but not sure which one should i choose
I've shortlisted Tiffani, Kiaraville and Hartamas Regency 2
Does anyone know how much is the maintenance fee for those condos?
Living conditions, environment etc?
Appreciate allΒ  your input here
Thanks a lot
*
Tiffani better than kiaraville , HR2 not so nice.
Tiffani seems slightly quieter, too. But maybe it's the unit i visited, facing inside.
about the sewer smell someone mentioned, i didn't smell it. but i don't stay there. smile.gif if really sewer smell it's due to poor design of piping, bad news.

I just went to see palma, pines and pelangi recently. I was offered about 780-880k for all 3 abt 12++sqf, is it a fair price for the above mentioned condo?. Honestly despite they are super old, their maintenance is doing a great job. The only thing is that im not sure which to choose because all 3 looks so similar in terms of location and design. Appreciate any inputs from all the sifus in MK

palma is the nicest in terms of landscaping and got it's own man made lake. in terms of age, pines looking quite aged. pelangi also OK, recently refurbished.

btw the three, i would choose palma but also depend on facing, condition and so on.

price is more or less there, i say it's fair price but of course long term reader here know i'm vested in MK. personally i think it's a good price. given the bad market you can press the price down. fyi those prices u mentioned are same as 2013 prices.

as you mentioned maintenance is super, all maintained by UEM sunrise (AFAIK)
try to choose slight lower floor to avoid having to listen to the din of the highway 24/7. 5-8 floor is best, to my understanding. i once viewed a 20+ floor in pelangi, the minute i look out the window i pening!!

oh yeah other bro mentioned.. pelangi is more quieter environment, and arcoris is VP soon, so still near to amenities.

all the condo along that stretch got japanese , korean, gwailou, and it's a global community. and uem runs free shuttle buses for UEM sunrise managed condos to solaris , KL sentral.

you won't regret to stay in MK, its' great.

but if you want to buy older condo for rental, be prepared for some vacancy time between tenants.

U can also go to the condo from 6.45am - 7.15am and u can see the number of expat family with kids in the condos. There are few waiting points for the school bus. Quite easy to locate. Bus stop in front of Palma is one of them.

Hi kochin

I have been thinking whether I should go for subsale as initial down payment isn't a problem for me. I am currently renting a condo and pay rm2200 monthly. I understand the logic of paying installment instead of rental.

But three things hold me back:
1. It's old design
2. I don't like to stay in an old place.
3. Chance for appreciation less than the new launch.

I would appreciate if you can recommend a few decent choices in MK subsale and I will go propwall to dig some good ones to compare

Thanks!

well lanai kiara is about 20 yrs old but still well maintain...
hijauan kiara is nice..lots of parking with low density...with private lift

Among 3 I also prefer Sunway Mont. If Sefina is located in jln kiara 5 that would be best of best.

sefina is at the end of kiara 3..just before the kampung start...jam is bad during peak time..and it start from sunway vivaldi lo...unless your working hour is flexible then ok la..do mind that GIS is along the road also..schooling time also hell time rclxub.gif all park along the roadside

Hello sifus,

I am a newbie in property and this will be my first property purchase. I have been doing survey of mid size condo (1000 to 1600sf) market in Mont Kiara. I have spent two weeks in MK to visit Sunway Mont, Sefina, Arte Mont Kiara, Agile and TWY showroom & construction sites and finally narrow down my choices to Sunway Mont, Sefina and Agile.

My purpose of investment is for own stay and property appreciation within 5 to 10 years.

Based on the information I have, this is the ranking:

Location: Agile > Sunway Mont > Sefina (right beside Segambut kampung)
Price psf: Sefina > Agile > Sunway
Floor Plan (IMO): Sunway > Sefina > Agile
Density (from low to high): Sefina > Agile > Sunway
Design, Concept and facilities (IMO): Sefina > Sunway > Agile
Carpark: Sunway > Sefina = Agile
Developer: Sunway Mont > Sefina (UEM Sunrise) > Agile (popular in China but MK project is a JV with local company)
Maintenance Fee: Sefina > Agile > Sunway

Sunway Mont (Completed end of 2020)
I like the 1605sf (3 carparks) and 1122sf (2 car parks) very much. Well designed floor plans, no wasted space and with forest / MK views. Slightly more expensive than Agile and Sefina and only completed end of 2020. Location wise not too bad, at least better than Jalan Kiara 3 where Sefina is located. Some people raised the concern of nearby high tension cables but since I am targeting high floor unit that shouldn't be an issue to me.

Sefina by UEM Sunrise (Completed Q2 2019)
Best concept I have seen so far. Visited the showroom and felt very comfortable with it. A lot of facilities such as guest waiting lounge, beach volleyball (WOW?!) etc. Swimming pool design is very good too, feel like swimming on the star deck lol. BUT, this condo will be located right beside the segambut dalam, which is a total disappoinment to me, I think it will affect for property apprecaition as well. The sales agent said there will be another entrance at the back once Jalan Kiara 4 is extended but god know when. All of the units facing south are booked, only left the north-facing units with Segambut kampung view. I really cannot imagine the luxurious and upmarket style when playing volleyball, swimming and chilling right beside the kampung.... shocking.gif

Agile Mont Kiara (Completed Q2 2019)
Prime location. Walking distance to Publika. Accessibility is very nice. A HUGE garden for residences to chill, like the garden in chinese palace we see in drama. Visited their showroom and felt very chinese style. Not sure how is the end product quality but the showroom fitting make me felt a bit cheap in the first place. Weird room window, bathroom and kitchen designs. I am not saying they are bad, just not my liking.  wink.gif  Another issue of this project is the lift, there are quite a number of forumers pointed out the limited lift provided for the 44-storey tower. Appreciate some sifus can provide more info about that. Btw, this condo address is not MK address.
Please share your thoughts, pros and cons on these projects and that can help me to make a right decision. Thanks! notworthy.gif
