QUOTE(dkcheong1127 @ Mar 20 2018, 03:04 PM) it depends on the location and nearby facilities...most of ppl want to rent nearby that easy to access lrt or mrt Agreed though. But having said this is not in KL. People here go to work by bus. Its like 15-20mins driving duration to reach town(office area). If jam will take another 10mins. |

QUOTE(dkcheong1127 @ Mar 20 2018, 03:26 PM) imagine they got family living in 700++ sq ft house, 1000++ is good enough for around 4 adults but definitely you cant hope to have luxurious space here for other thing like study room/game room Yea, totally agreed on your points. How about if the price is reasonable? |

QUOTE(dkcheong1127 @ Mar 20 2018, 03:48 PM) i cant comment on the price since yours in labuan, you can check the property around that area and check what is the price per sq ft, like yours is 295,000 / 1020 sq ft, around RM289/sqft, the lower the cheaper. I see, will look around. Thanks  |

QUOTE(RenYYeO @ Mar 21 2018, 07:35 AM) For me, it is a good buy. Will consider landed house though.Let say if there is 2 options, 1000sf condominium vs 1000sf double storey built up terrace which is your choice? would it still the double storey built up terrace? |

QUOTE(aaron1717 @ Mar 22 2018, 09:35 AM) how scarce is landed house at your area? although its quite small... but if the location u are at right now is not that huge... then it make more sense to build small size landed... you can check the renting rate of nearby properties as well to gauge.... My current house with parents is terrace double storey house too. Its 2000sqft after all extension and everything, yes the house posted above is smaller than current house. As for the rental, I will do more research and gauge Thanks though. |

QUOTE(barista @ Mar 22 2018, 09:37 AM) If money is not an issue, maybe get the corner lot with a bit more land. Money is not an issue, but the corner lot sold out is an issue  This feeling is sucks. |

QUOTE(Zot @ Mar 22 2018, 09:47 AM) If buy to stay until retirement, not need to think twice. I see.. Thanks for the information.. Yea, my plan is to have our own house (if i married in the future), instead of staying with parents. But my concern, if people would like to stay this house forever until retired. If buy to temporarily stay, need to compare within that staying period how much the value increases. Will it increase as much as the interest you paid to the bank. If it less, is it less than the amount if you are renting.  If it is really too small, perhaps, I will look for bigger house, of course more expensive in this case. |

QUOTE(Zot @ Mar 22 2018, 09:59 AM) Well, at the end you can only estimate because you don't know what will happen in future. Many big families will buy big house but one by one their children start leaving and the houses become empty. Many old folks in city will just move to a small apartments. Anyway, the houses most likely will not be selling below purchase price. By that time, the money is not your priority anyway Yea right, make sense Will consider, whether to book the house or not. It seems limited left.Attached thumbnail(s)
