One of the biggest issue these days is affordability, many people as you say want to tell others they live in "Damansara" and with the way properties in "Damansara" are priced many will have little choice but to settle for a 2 room rather than 3 room place. 1 room places are generally bought by investors.

From experience, it depends a lot on the development and location.

KLCC, Bangsar and KL Sentral, 1Br generally sells better than 2Br especially where the 1Br has a bigger room than the 2Br units. 2Br units generally do better than 1Br units in MK and most slightly more premium locations.

Personally I don't buy 1Br units as they tend to be difficult to sell on as there isn't a big market for them outside of landlords wanting one in their portfolio.

2Br especially if it is a 2+1 unit tend to have a better following and easier to sell on as it can be a starter family home as it will work even if you have 2 kids. It also can be bought for rental income depending on the area. Personally I prefer to buy the largest 2 or 2+1 unit the project has on offer.

3Br, these will always be the most popular among subsale buyers. Prices will hold but rental yields won't be as good as a 2br unit. I usually look for something in the middle and ideally a 3+1 unit. However an interesting anomaly is in places such as Bangsar and MK as well as all more premium addresses, a 4br unit will rent for far better money than a 3Br unit but this is not replicated in more middle class areas. Usually in more premium addresses the largest and smallest units would be the first to go. Largest units go fast because there are usually only 1 unit per floor or sometimes 1 unit every other floor.

Anyway these days the property market is no longer what it was just 3 years ago. Buying trends have changed a lot so what was correct as little as 6 months ago isn't correct today.

Like Scott Garden?

Haha I presume you weren't among the pioneering buyers of Bangsar South, MK or Desa Parkcity then?

The only time I had interest in DPC was when they were launching Nadia. Unfortunately loan couldn't go through as I was a co-buyer of 4 condos in Bangsar that far exceeded my ability to pay.

Ever since then all subsequent launches were too expensive for that it was and never bothered.

As they say hindsight is always 20/20

Indeed.

In any case I'm not big into buying properties too far away from where I currently live. Too damn much a hassle to manage them. If I cannot get there in 30 minutes from my house then it isn't happening.

Purely speculative in nature I guess?

To be frank here, I've no idea what project this is as I can't be arsed to go through 50 pages but a quick google only leads to this thread and I can't see anyone being so dumb dumb to put money into this.

If there are then it is little wonder there are so many "skim cepat kaya" going on in this country as there are actually people who buy into it.

Must be something else if even the so called developer refuses to put its name on it or show on their website that they have anything to do with it.

I'm also curious to know the answer to this.

Where exactly is this project anyway?

Am shocked they have not claimed it will get 20% rental yield as well.

52 pages, still can't find the APDL, project signage or location yet its already a Grade A property.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, this smells fishier than a can of surstromming.

Is there an APDL for this project?

Why would anyone interested in being investors in this area buy into something like this when you could buy Arte MK?

TLDR: invest only if you want to lose money while someone else laughs all the way to the bank.

Yes

Absolutely true and I still have a roof over my head

For now? There is a very simple reason, it actually exist.
