Hi All

Which are the best new landed townships for a double story terrace house? I’m looking at the following locations with a 750k-800k budget and must be freehold. Looking at long term capital appreciation and future potential ( in 10 years).

1) setia ecohill Semenyih fully gated and guarded ( precinct 2 and 3). Individual title but with DMC. Very well maintained township with a neighbourhood mall and clubhouse
2) Elmina Green. Individual title but not gated and guarded. Very good location closer to subang
3) Eco Majestic Semenyih. Strata title. Very well maintained . A bit pricey
4) Tropicana Kajang townhouse: Strata title. Nice location but it’s not a double storey terrace
5) Bandar Seri Coalfield: lots of new launches, looks nice

Any others?

it depends on where you want live, conveniency is vital. Unless you are buying for investment.

For me, my house has to be near workplace, old or new house, LH or FH are not a matter, location decides the future value most.

All v far. Buy house make sure near to ur working place. If me I look for 2nd house near BJ, seri petaling, OUG, Mont Kiara, PJ, Damansara (near pj)

For investment

Personally I wouldn't buy landed for investment, unless I'm staying there myself, because the roi in terms of rental is pretty bad especially for these very far houses. Even if you managed to flip it in the 10 years for a 20%-40% profit, is it worth it after the monthly bleed, property gain tax, bank interest etc

This. And if you insist to go for investment, make sure to buy strata in selangor because you can sell to foreigners but the minimum housing they can buy is 2mil, still there are ways to sell hehe

10 years gain so u must be willing to gain extra risk for more potential

few suggestions are serenia, sunruria, setia alamsari, serene heights, gamuda cove, setia alam

jade hill?

item 4, you can look for Tropicana Heights Parkfield, Tropicana Heights Fairfield

Jade Hills no more 750-800k for landed.

How to define best eh?
what criteria?

Price, infrastructure, commercial convenience ?

For investment..

can look for landed freehold in Sendayang,

or another one quite happening at Rimbayu but leasehold

Rimbayu- not only leasehold issue, but the traffic is getting worse, check the forum ba. of course, the township is very lively, confortable to raise young family.

my vote goes to Elmina - but lack of commercial is one of the major issue, also connectivity might not be so good except DASH ( also not direct access)

How about Setia alam/ruled out coz too far?

investment-i dont think property investment in GG in malaysia, the time is over. Especially high rise/condo.

for landed, keep for long term ba, Land is limited.....
guess that... those 40-50 years old house in Damansara Jaya/Utama been transacted 1.2 million- this is linked hous, 24/7- only eh.

in short- it need to be somewhere that is comfortable for you to live, another 10-20 years. and the capital gain is secomdary.

if buy just keep/rent to earn profit.... very low chance.

If for landed property investment...LH or FH does not really matter as much.
Main thing to consider is if the place can be 'ong' or not.
You will typically know the place is 'ong' if the place has a certain type of demographics and characteristics (young families, SRJK schools, lots of non halal food choices, traffic jams)
Old day PJ, Subang, USJ, Puchong, Sunway, etc all started like that until they become mature like today.
Lots of capital appreciation over time to reap for those invested in these areas.

I think all these below are fine.
1) setia ecohill Semenyih fully gated and guarded ( precinct 2 and 3). Individual title but with DMC. Very well maintained township with a neighbourhood mall and clubhouse
2) Elmina Green. Individual title but not gated and guarded. Very good location closer to subang
3) Eco Majestic Semenyih. Strata title. Very well maintained . A bit pricey
4) Tropicana Kajang townhouse: Strata title. Nice location but it’s not a double storey terrace

I would add Bandar Rimbayu/ Tropicana Aman/Gamuda 257 areas into the list too.

Good luck.

buying landed for investment is no more viable unlike those days in 2000s.

assume now cost RM1mil. Instalment is like RM4K-5K. and if u decided to rent it out first ,. be ready to spend like RM50K at least so that can attract a decent tenant profile and get it rent for RM2K-2.5K. U may see a capital appreciation of 50% after 10 years but u need to bleeding like RM2K-3K per month.

those good days are gone... last time property is affordable. RM500K and rental like RM2K. Now RM1mil , rental also more or less the same.

Why not Rawang? It's much more closer to KL/PJ compared to BSC.

Emerald west, Tamansari, M-panora etc.

Not interested in Rawang or Seremban/ Nilai

"Looking at long term capital appreciation and future potential ( in 10 years)."

If you looking at capatical appreciation then you should invest in FD or KWSP for guarantee return. Or if you were having deep knowledge of investment then can invest on shares, funds or bonds. Investing in any kind of housing property now is not really making good money and in future also hard to get good ROI. Those agent will lure you into the trap that the property will appreciate with good ROI figure.

Those townships you listed basically all did not make good ROI after VP. As long as you see many listing in 2nd market that mean many people wanna sell out rather than keep it. Imagine you buy a house at RM 500k and 10 years appreciate RM 600k and it 20% up or 2% ROI yearly. If we take loan and no additional fund to offset interest,

RM500k, 35 years term, 4.4%

Monthly RM 2335
10 years
Total interest paid is RM 219k
Total principal paid is RM 61k.
Total payment you have paid is RM 280k

So this is not justified if you just make RM 100k profit where you have paid RM 219k interest over the 10 years time, which mean you making loss of RM 119k.

lagi funny. u aso dunwan stay so u think who wanna buy 2nd hand from u?

only reason good enough is u wanna pass to next gen but even ur kids will scold u one day buy so far for what. house important is conveneint

Like this than no one will buy landed. All those developers can bungkus and go home, correct?

Will be rented out
