Only s.a follow developers.

Of all three, i would definitely place LBS at the last tier.

Kinda like a toss between IJM and Mah Sing -- IJM is abit more focused on townships, so there are boosters you can hope on to push prices higher.

MS tends to go rambo, buying random land plots here n there and then build those 40, 50-storey high shoeboxes to maximize ROI in a short period of time

More importantly, price and location is far more important than who the developer is lah

Mahsing handover quality is apis of shit

Affordable housing? Why dont you list down the projects?

IJM and Mah Sing have more projects compare to LBS.

IJM core business is construction, but not developer. However, they are similar to LBS, they built townships compare to stand-alone high-rises like Mah Sing, who acquired land and immediately built more projects with 3-5 blocks.

If house, I will go for IJM, they not famous for quality or so but they built simple house on individual title and leave you room to spend more for renovation or alteration if you wish to. They dont sell the price tag like Gamuda, EcoWorld, SP Setia, Sime Darby or even Exsim.
If highrises, they dont launch massively or high densed like Mah Sing. They have some high end condos too.
However, Mah Sing's projects are modern in all general aspects, easy to accept and attracted plenty of first time home buyers due to hefty rebates. Their quality is not so good for most of their projects, including Kinrara Residence Puchong and Alam Perdana Klang.

LBS are more modest and focus on low cost and medium low cost back then, one decade back, they seems restructured and focus into Bandar Saujana Putra and explore to build medium end condo with modern facade. But their location is basically far, including their Puchong project but except Bintang Residence in Bkt Jalil.

If you talk about affordable housing, perhaps I choose IJM as a developer but LBS due to their expertise.

No worries if you are not 100% yet because normally when a potential buyer provided a wide area and different location of housing, there would be plenty uncertain choices.

You may narrow down by selecting the needs of your lists and which comes as priority;
- You have the desire condos list (M Oscar & Bintang BJ)
- Location
- Accessibility (be it to work, amenities, family needs, so on)
3 above are priority which which is the most of the most.

Some buyers would able to narrow their lists once they decided on the project itself or the location itself, especially with family members.

The price range you're looking at is consider mass market range although reality not consider affordable for most people. In such situation, you can continue research activities bcz if you are buying for own stay, thats no problem. If investment, continue to hold until clearer picture for the economy impact.

For under con property, you only need worry if the price increase or package revised, or desired floor bought by someone else. Even very bad economy period, developers still will increase price or cut discounts, if not how old buyers are happy? Until they reached red zone period, which is months before completion + no cashflow on hand, they may go all out to throw higher discounts or find agents to clear it as much as possible, even at lost.

If you're looking for subsales, I personally believe the price will continue stagnant for the segment you're looking at. That's thanks to Moratorium which helped some of the fire hand buyers to delay 6 months payment which almost equals to delayed 6 months rush sale. But, still but to those who unable to tahan installment before MCO, already breaching 90 days default payment and not available for Moratorium option, their unit from almost lelong will even quicker to become fire lelong.

I've personally looking into few options to those newly VP just around 6 months, I noticed there are plenty fire sales selling below their acquisition but I will hold for further due to Moratorium. Short term basis, i believe price adjustments.
