there is this babee trick developers use
when I try to buy the best lots in condo, the broker say all taken except...
I look at the map of the condo, the red sticker show so many taken
when I move in, also show the property taken already
but after 2 years still only 30% occupied. Where is the 70%
tak kan the owner not want to rent, right ?
Then AGM came, bloody hell
I found out why...the developer big boss suddenly have majority votes to determine our house rules
the owners all also takut cannot vote all the rules through because big boss have majority
40% of the empty units belong to the developer big boss and his family.
Wadefak man..why they use this conman tactic.

developers are the skunk of the earth
they come up with condo development - Tower A, Tower B, Tower C
Tower A - they offer to their internal konco…put in a false demand
then they launch first phase - Tower B, price go up
put some fake red sticker, claim units taken up already but actually the developer big boss already book under his name
Then they come up with Tower B - wth a bit more room and larger balcony - price probably go up another 20%
wait...some time
come up with Tower C - so called high class, nice fascade, big 1 million to 1.5 mil plus unit about 1,800 - 2,200 sq feet
all conman one

Pre MCO, the market already stagnat since last year. Family member bought two 700k condos during the huu haa period that everyone need to buy as many as they can.
One condo sold after 4 years at the price he bought, another residing but value dropped by 15% due to a lot of unsold units. Developer give a lot of discounts till early owner impacted.
Hard to earn money via property now. Still remember couple of years back? Whatever mid priced condo will be snatched, so call get keys then can sell and profit 100k+ after appreciation lol.

Ya, youngsters going all out using their parent's name and DP. You don't buy prop, you're the loser period. The default investment tool.
My friend bought a 800k condo back when he was earning 5k+ believing he will earn 100k-200k upon take keys. If can't support then sell if off for profit mentality. Now ah...stuck with depreciating condo cause too expensive and a lot unsold units. Don't dare to ask.

I hope so too. I buy to keep 20 years one...not to speculate.
I also hope one day government force them to convert to Built to Sell.
When we buy something not yet built, like buying something out of thin air.
The developer is so well protected, can find financing from banks and prospective buyers. Not to mention, evil banks make it hard for us to obtain loans but so easy for developer to obtain term or bridging loan to finance their insatiable hunger to build more.
I had once observe a friend kena con by developer, when the developer could not afford to build anymore, when into liquidation. Mind you, the parent co still ok, but they quickly relinquish all the share in the subsidiary, leaving all the buyers in a lurch.
The subsidiary then went into liquidation, and my friend had to pay progressive interest for 9 years, before somehow the liquidator managed to kick start the project and finish it after 12 years. When my friend finally got the keys, his property was build like crap. You can notice the tiles all pudar already, having been abandoned for 12 years.
