Yeah, those semi-Ds are called Axillaris A/B, expected completion on mid-2011.. I had booked one unit of those last week and now waiting for loan approval. I am not so worried about the subsale value, as it is located quite strategically between Setia Avenue and Setia City (Commercial area).. Not sure when Setia City project will be completed, but at least most of the Setia Avenue's commercial lots are sold (<90%).. Besides, you will find these semi-Ds are build on the higher lanscape, which means better fung shui (according to our parents..)

About the property appreciation, let me give two examples here:

My dad purchased an 18x65 unit at 180k (very very very early batch), two years later my bro bought another unit with same dimension at 240k. Now similar units with same BU is already selling at 340k.. Lagi fully sold out, and they announced second phase of same models will be released soon, at 360k..

So, the ROI is like 100% within 4 years.. For certain popular models like Lavender and Tuscany (20 x 65, BU: 1800), the appreciation is even more attractive.. Selling price from SP Setia is around 260k - 310k, before I decided on Axillaris, the agent told me the subsale value of these models are ard 360k.. Abt 50k increase in 12 months! Note than these houses are not even ready yet!

However, for those who want to buy a house for staying there has to be careful. Crackings on some areas are pretty bad. If you are buying subsale houses, esp those which has been renovated, please really look around the houses, esp the ceilings and kitchen area.. They may offer attractive price (like 300k for 20x65, fully renovation, 5 aircons and ceiling fans, full kitchen cabinets, and nice grills-those with flower design..), but better watch out for those so called "hair line" cracks..

Yeah, forgot to mention that it has not been officially launch yet.. If not mistaken, 95% of these units are sold liao.. wonder what they have in
remaining during the official launch..

About the 5/95 package, only bookings made latest by 19/07 are eligible for it.. In other words, those who buy after that has to bear the legal fees, stamp duty, bla bla bla..

Yeah, we went on the last day, and it was like a pasar more than a showhouse.. everyone was picking their units, as if they were buying vegetables..

No idea on how much the value might appreciate, but according to those reps, they are launching new models with similar dimensions and the price would be around RM420k+..

To me, this house serves more for staying purpose.. unless it really appreciate that much to make me sell it la..

Yeah, I have two years to save some money to do renovations plus wedding.. As soon as the house is ready, that will be the Phase II of my life!

My agent actually admitted that certain areas within the town are overpriced.. Thats why she herself actually encouraged me to buy first hand property while the 5/95 package is still available.. Subsales too expensive, and the buyer has to bear the legal fees plus stamp duties.. No developer warranty lagi..



I would agree with you that it is a nice place to stay, and has high potential to develop into another Subang. About the value appreciation, I don't think 100% increase within 12 months are possible, unless you are the very early birds.. For my unit, I only hope the developments of surrounding commercial areas will help to appreciate the value more.. Lets see how persistent is our SP SETIA...

I have heard that SA houses are built by two different contractors, of which one of them was lousy, and those houses built by them have serious crackings problems. You may drop by to areas like Bromera and you will shocked by looking at the cracks, esp those with extended kitchens..

Due to that, their contract was terminated, and new contractor comes in.. I do not know how far this can be true, but at least from my last few visits, the newly built houses are quite well done..

We need someone who from SP Setia to clarify this.. By the way, it seems we don't have many SA buyers in LYN..
