1 year after this thread started, what's the median price for those area you scouted now?

Want to see any capital appreciation for established township. As more secluded township is selling around 1.mil for landed now.

650k should be able to get a 20-22X 60-65 feet original condition house in subang/usj.

Will require quite a big amount for touch-up.

Usj2 I'll categorised as convenient area, as the distance to highway is really short, hence less jam.

This has reflected in the price hike for usj 2 as well.

According to agents, usj2, 5 prices is slowly creeping up for unknown reason.

People slowly realize they are actually TOD and walking distance to LRT.

If you look into MBSJ future planning, these are TOD marked place.

You need to look deeper, more usj Taman is GnG. Drive around usj and you'll know.

There are some GnG in subang that's very strict.

If include putra height, then the glades will be the best.

Usj6 is LRT+ BRT.

Certain Taman offer larger layouts.

22x7*: usj 3,4,5(very² limited supply here),11,12, 17 and beyond/newer
24x7*: usj 5,11, 17 and beyond.
20x60: 2,3,6,12,13.

20x60 price now starts from 600k for a original developer condition.
Add 100-200k if you choose a renovated house.

22x7* starts from 800k now.

24x7* starts from 850-900 depending on security presence.

Usj5 due to its strict security and rare subsale availability, price starts from 1 mil now. Last year there's a few up for sale but all grabbed.

I noticed a lot of young couples looking for landed now to renovate and settle down. Trend is definitely moving back to landed, if hype is selling 600k for 2B2R, a old landed with 4R3B at 600k sounds decent isn't it.

If you choose to make good and rewire, re-pipinf, painting only. Can be achieved below 100k.

20x60 is very comfortable for a family of 4-5. I grew up in one. So yes it's OK.

Now subang landed is so much more worth compared to what Sime is offering in their apartments.

24x65 is a rare gem nowadays. You will appreciate the double volume ceiling and the wider house

700k+ maybe can get a nicely renovated house 20x60. Try shop around. I know a usj 2 house in that criteria but owner firm at 750k.

Seems like you've invested heavily in USJ 13.

Convenience: subang Jaya, USJ2,6,9,13,19.

Peaceful living: SS19, USJ 3,4,5,11, 12, 17, 18.

20x60 still below 700k. Hype 2 bedroom also 600k. I will say it is still undervalued.

Since you are Budak Subang, just continue stay there. No need to move out. Subang is not a jam as other say.

Subang is a unique area where there's nice blend of people from different race and nationality. We loved in harmony for so many years, and people are well mannered here as well.

Subsale, you can nego till the price both parties agrees.

Termite infestation need to take note. Regardless, still need to do termite treatment before you move in.

Prepare some budget to re-wire and re-pipenthe whole house. Do upgrade it to 3 phase wiring if you are re-wiring. This will future proof your house and also has the option to charge EV.

Mbsj approval usually has a CCC. Ask from the seller.

Nicely said. Renovation best done according to ones taste. Landed link house is a luxury in it's own.

Nowadays matured location is worth more than far aware location.

Try not to spend more than 30% of the SPA price in case bank don't recognise the spent amount. Renovation of 500k on a 800k house doesn't means you can sell 1.3mil. It's easier to sell a 1.0mil house (800k+200k Reno).

If you are to rewire whole house. Upgrade it to 3 phase.

This will increase the value of your house

Basically you split the electricity supply into your house into 3 separate line. So the risk of overloading will be less, and you can have more AC point and even a full Power AC EV charger in your house. Without 3 phase wiring, EV charger will be limited. To further future proof, you can even install solar panel and the NEM meter with TNB.

As for piping, good to re-pipe whole house if budget permits, old pipe tends to clog up causing lower water pressure. Not to mention the old water tangki, good to change then along with new pipe.

3rd will be toilet upgrade, pipe, tiling, waterproof and toiletries. All these if it's new, you will feel more comfortable as a home.

The above 3 to me is essential for old landed terrace. Shouldn't cost more than 50k.

If budget permits, then the rest will be good to have.
- autogate, new and bigger gate will make your house appears to be wider.
- flooring, parquet(common in old sime Darby houses). If possible polish it or replace with new ones.
- windows, doors etc.
-kitchen. Replace if needed,.some owners might've upgraded their kitchen recently.
- extension. This will require a lot of cash and MBSJ permit but if done correctly and frugally, will add long term value. An extended house with permit can fetch better value.
