setia alam is nearing the last few launches of their township. of course they mark up the price like nobody's business.

There is one tesco in that area already. Now have a 24 hour KFC and Pizza hut there and more to come. I heard that my friend say that the value of the house ballooned extra 75% from the cost. Oh my godness, next time if the property price still like that it would be years before i can get my own house. cry.gif cry.gif

agree with u thumbup.gif
this is bisnes not charity, we will be doing the same thing if we are in their shoes

what can we do as consumer is : Don't Buy tongue.gif

We still need to live in house. Setia Alam seems to be a nice place for me, but the price tag is one of the major problem......

QUOTE(Apscen @ Jan 23 2011, 03:45 PM)
charity? selling something justify the price does not call charity, it call business, that's acceptable! but when selling something does not justify, it call rampage! i don't mind paying big buck for a good big house, atleast it is justify. 

the whole scenario involved lot of big time speculator, this is the group of investor who boost the SP Boss greedy level by take up at whatever price, not the genuine buyer! you can said those investor make up the scenario, but atleast i don't see other developer doing the same like SP, most are selling high price , but atleast give back with a big, nice and more justify house.
*
Indeed. Then, use whatever reason to justify them like increase in fuel means increase in material cost, transportation costs and etc.....

Overpriced, definitely overpriced. Why i say so ? There is so much land in kapar for develpment.

But that is not the main reason i say so. The explanation is bcos sp sells not many units in their phases launched, sell bit by bit, less than 100units every time launch, by doing so they bait people into thinking another phase is sold out.

Still got ppl falling into this trap even though their brains are able to earn rm5k per month salary. hahaha...

The place is nice to stay. You know any good place that does not cost that much and almost similar to Setia Alam within KL's 10KM radius?

For that price it better be 'oohlala' but i see just another house with 4 brick walls+windows, did not make my mouth say 'waaaah !', only the price made me 'WAAAAH!'.
The trick is to look for something priced less but offering same/better deal.
BBR used to be this 'deal', but its going up now, but still can go in to grab.
And in terms of attractive design + brand name + quality, sime delivers.

If u got patience and not have itchy wallet, just wait. U'll see other developers going in just like what happened in puchong, boom. Can find cheaper alternatives then.
*
LOL.

BBR is a safe place to live?

How attractive design it could be? hmm.gif

Website or pictures?

In early years, they need to bluf ppl to buy farfarawayland mah.. so sell cheap2 but need volume to show in annual report, so sell hundreds.
The latest phase terrace house launched by sp is only 76 units.

Setia alam only 1/2 developed, so they stil got lots lots land there. Why the rush ? The more u rush, the higher they price.
*
LOL. The down picture is where? Setia Alam? It seems that is is more spacious compared to the top.....

Solely based on the facade, i will definitely choose the 1st one (Avani) ... but do note that buying a house is not buying into the facade only ... facade can be changed (if u have money to renovate it kau kau), but location and surroundings cannot be changed ...
*
Renovate means extra cash. Typically an exterior renovation would cost how much? RM20k?

QUOTE(ken7908 @ Jan 25 2011, 05:29 PM)
been staying in SA for the past near 3yrs, from what i seen is from Klang standard heading towards KL standards. So, u pay for what u can get on the amenities, blablabla. U want nice township, u pay more.......simple as that.  icon_rolleyes.gif

For own stay, as long as security isn't the main issue, i don't really mind if it turns to a wonderful township or whatsoever.
*
Security is one of my main concern for choosing a place to stay in around KL area.

For existing owners in Setia Alam, are there disadvantages for the crazy price increase for new launch?

With Setia Alam increasing the prices of new launch, does it in a way helped the existing owners of past launches to increase their property value?
*
I guess the property value does increase, but it is not realise only. blush.gif

Water leaking... difficult for maintenance ppl to claim up or do repair work inside..

I see. In my whole life till now, i rarely see any problem about water leaking from the roof. Does this problem only happens to the kind of design you quoted previously?

is actually divide into to area.. one part is concrete + steel and another area is some think like steel plate but bottom is concrete.. cry.gif

Walau. Even the house i rent, the water managed to slip through the concrete from my toilet ( 2nd floor) into the kitchen. The risk is surely there for the leakage.

Now, it has gone from bad to worse. What to do.

Thanks for the information. Next time would avoid that kind of house design. icon_rolleyes.gif

This is true especially for those with extensive kitchen extend or rebuild the extra 5ft land. This can be overcome by adding extra piles to make the land more solid. of course it is very expensive to do that

anyway due to I love the environment and the township there, i still bought one last year after i seek the advise from some contractors and engineers. of course the one i bought is no major crack and no kitchen extend.

i think it is worth for me to buy a house there at 275k, and it had appreciated to 350k this year

Sub sale means selling a house in the secondary market i.e. owner selling a second-hand (or 3rd hand or 4th hand and so on) house , not a sale of a new house direct from developer. If sale of new house i.e. first-hand from developer it is referred to as a sale in the primary market.

please name some options... Want to update my database cos i couldnt find anything less than 600k for similar size, location and township planning...

FYI, setia alam is around 30km to mid valley using NKVE...

If your considering USJ also, 22x75 are more than 10 years old and are now selling for 580k, you'll need at least 100k just to redo the house to a more comfortable living condition...
*
I really wonder how the makan gaji people can get a big house. shocking.gif

You mean the freehold land rite for the USJ? SA mostly is freehold if i am not mistaken coz people would surely pay more to get it and they have the ability to pay for it rite?

yeah, USJ is basically freehold overall except for USJ1 strangly...

Correct, and i always buy freehold, don't mind paying a slight premium for peace of mind smile.gif


Added on October 9, 2011, 4:26 pm
well... Like it or not, SA is legally Shah Alam... For cheaper houses, people always have the choice to go for Sime Darby's Bukit Raja just opposite Meru smile.gif
*
Umm, how much is the premium? 100k? Also, need to check the documents only can know it is freehold or leasehold? hmm.gif

nkve is surely getting bad.
been driving along kesas a fair bit lately - also getting bad. federal highway, needless to say.
traffic congestion along major highways is a feature everywhere, no escape unless yoiu don't use them.
only solution is use them at non-peak hours or find a job that stays clear of them!

+100.

I really hate waste time on the road. Cannot sleep, cannot do anything except sitting if my phone battery went dead.
