I am going to migrate to cbj in 2-3 years time from puchong:-)

Don't forget Chinese school is coming, this can be the key factor to attract families. Cbj is definitely not stagnant. It is very normal that some people don't like certain place, I wonder those hate cbj really stay there or just own perception?

I checked with people who stay in cbj, I went to see the place myself and do my own research before I made decision. So far never heard of anybody staying in cbj tell me don't move to cbj...

For example, You can tell people don't move to china because you saw news that the food there is not safe, but did you really stay in china before? Perception vs reality.

For the time being, can take klia transit from putrajaya sentral to kl sentral, only take 20 minutes. Parking cost rm2 per day. I am taking this every working days with monthly pass, easy and save time.

Some people may not know that there is government initiative to bring in more people to stay in cbj, for example the laman view's terrace houses were selling at lower than market price but with lock-in period (cannot sell within certain years). I don't know if there is any other area with such initiatives for landed property.

Klia transit actually allow people to connect to other public transports efficiently (mrt, lrt, ktm, etc.), and they are getting more trains to increase the frequencies. If don't want to take public transport can still drive.

They are people driving from puchong, seri kembangan, kajang(before mrt complete), etc. to putrajaya sentral just to enjoy convenience of the klia transit. I personally drive from puchong then decided to get a house in cbj (which is nearer and no toll).

I take klia transit for few years, can see they are more and more people taking it.

I believe laman view terrace is not under rumah selangorku and there is no cap on the income. The buyer there will know better, I missed that boat.

Rumahselangorku only build 18"x60" or 20"x60" terrace according to their website, with requirements on salary etc. I don't find any other similar project in other area like laman view, big unit sizes, no cap on salary, has a requirement to lock for certain years, may be they are just I don't know.

Good price. Just make sure a proper check is done and factor the possible risks. Then why not?

I think you cannot take lelong unit to judge that is the price for that development/area, lelong unit has associated risks that you need to factor in.

From lelong market, you are buying as-is, if there is dead body you also have to take it.

I offered to buy cassia two storey unit early of this year at 900k, I was told that is not possible to find from sub sale market at that price at that time.

I thought we are not allowed to rent out pr1ma within certain years?

Personally I won't invest in pr1ma, unless I plan to stay there. There are many other investment opportunities and you need flexibility for investment.

Pr1ma may be priced slightly lower, but if you add up the "costs" for not able to rent it out, or sell when you have the opportunities, interests, etc, I don't think it is a good "investment". Plus what you pay is what you get.

By the way, I also work in Kl city center but I bought cbj property, not really far to travel, you can drive via mex or take train. Just use Google Map then you will know the estimated travel time from different locations, do some study and find out yourself.

Can you trust these people to give crystal ball on future of cbj?
1) those no no to cbj, 99.99% never own a property in cbj, some (or most?) never step into cbj.
2) those yes yes to cbj, mostly own a property in cbj, they may want to share what they love or just don't want to admit their wrong investment decision.

Don't trust blindly any of them, come to see yourself if you target an area, and do your own research. If cbj far from kl, or full with ghost, or etc? you can verify yourself. Same for any other potential area. Don't skip any opportunities based on tcss comments.

I always wondering how those data are derived, because many people around me are much much richer than that....

The problem with people keep thinking/hoping property will go down is they never get to own one, because they never know when is the lowest, and they always think it will go down further. When it's time to make the "buy" decision, do it and stop worrying too much as long as you know what you are doing.

You really need to look at people around you and talk to them, find out youselve, it is not unusual for people to buy properties or lands with cash, I have seen too many of them, and they are not buying one but many units. And they don't look rich.

When people put money in your pocket, you can decide to take it or ignore it. If you want to success, stop complaining and worrying, set your goals and take actions, and always find out the truth with your own eye.
Just my opinion.

Sjkc union scheduled to open on 1-March-2018, there was an "open house" few weeks ago, looks good.

I was offered 90% loan margin (by all the banks that I applied) to buy a landed property in cbj mid last year. I am not sure the condo market in cbj but generally the take up rate for landed property in cbj are very good.
Quite a number of people around me purchased a property last year in various locations and continue to buy. For anyone still looking property as too expensive or not worth it, don't look only, do go to the real world and find out yourself what is the trend and if the price is going down if this is now the time to buy??
If you use auction units as the benchmark, good luck to you. There are various risks associated with auction units.

When property price is low: no no no, it is going to clash and will go down further.....wait
When property price is high: no no no, it is speculation, and it is going to clash....wait

:-)

Crisis come with oppoturnities. I have no idea about condo market in cbj but I went to view few condo launched last year and this year at other locations, the psf is not dropping and the take up rates are generally good.
Personally, I just think we should not "blacklist" an area.
By the way, the construction of mrt in cbj is going on pretty fast.
