I registered last weekend and its more than 3000+ registrants already March will balloting according to SA.

supposed to be for the low-middle income people... now become goreng goreng for the rich

i agreed the view that afforable apartments in SA will be gorengéd by investors in 2012.....if the prices remain below $200k.

congrats to the early owners of Akasia!

Any comment on the Setia Indah 4 Semi-D?

Thinking of upgrading my house and interested in this one.

there are no smds in indah 4 or all of indah.
link smd or clusters 30x55 are found in impian 5 and impian 7.
these are small, bu 17xx only, back linked. sure you're interested as upgrade?

Not really for Goreng but there another purposes. Helping sibling.

i say this one not easy to goreng... 150k and 180k. how much to sell when ready? 200k, 250k?
bear in mind no dibs, no free mot, ltv70 for 3rd prop.
more likely like you say, buy for siblings, own workers or rent out.
these apts are not that close to mall or schools or commercial center, about 3km further north.
even with the coming mall, honda center, health research inst and likely 2nd int'l school, that northern area will take some years to mature.

Probably I got it wrong.
The road name is U13/5, is this consider as Impain 13?
Thoe whole scratch is semi dees.

u13/5... u13 is the seksyen of shah alam, all of setia alam is u13. the 5 means the road.
this road is in impian, impian 5 to be precise. you must be refering to tecoma, the non-gng 40x85 smds subsale priced at 1-1.1mil, i think.
original dev price about 790k. location is smack in the middle of the area, never far from schools, shops, mall, central park, highway too. this area was not designated gng, so even these smds are just guarded.
i think for that price and bu, it's reasonable, comparing other areas similar non-gng true smds.
the gng 40x85 smds would be in damai (there are impian, indah, damai), asking 1.4-1.6mil, i believe.

btw the clusters 30x55 i mentioned are close to this tecoma, also in impian 5.

You are right, I'm referring to Tecoma and Tristania.
By the way according to agent, SP will gated the area later part once people started to move in, is that true?

sorry, what's dibs?

the seroja/komboja site is just next to Petronas right?

jati and baiduri - pls go to page 31.

oopss... sorry, saw the wrong name... maybe need to go SAWC and check out the exact location...

by the way, what's DIBS again?

DIBS= developer interest bearing scheme

thanks, bro

Hi AVFAN, thanks for the information, I registered for the SA forum, pending moderator approval.

tecoma and tristania are quite diff...

tecoma is true 40x85 smd in non-gng in impian 5. once an area is designated non-gng, almost impossible to change. very tough to get all owners to sign and pay when they did not expect or want it that when buying. perhaps the agent meant a chance setia/mbsa may erect perimeter fencing just for tecoma - possible but not probable in my view since mbsa/setia has done that only for public stretches that are very exposed to trespassing, e.g. between houses and main commercial area. if tecoma gets it, then all other non-gng will demand for it.

tristania is 34x75, linked smd, i.e. backs attached at the back. this is in damai 16, gng.
think subsale price is about the same. both have their merits and dismerits.
one is a bigger true smd but non-gng, the other is gng but smaller and linked smd.
it will depend on your current and future requirements.
personally, i'd prefer true bigger smds, whether gng or not.

I think in the market they call it cluster semi-d. Land size & built-up is smaller than pure semi-d's.

diff names, basically same animal...

maybe cluster is used to call those withh backs fully attached. linked smd used on those with 1/2 or 3/4 attached?

there are linked smds 40x85 with bu as almost 4000sqft!!

I agree with you, my bets will normally on those with bigger land size then follow by b/u. So far I visited Tecoma and quite interested in it. Have not viewed the Tristania yet but from your description seems not very interested in it as it is clustered semi-d type rather than true semi-d.

Given a choice, I will prefer those with gated due to security issue but seems that for gated units will costs 300-400k higher so not sure if it's worth to pay this price for the guarded purpose only. Tomorrow I'm going to take a drive and arrange some appt with agent to see some units there before deciding on what to go for next.
