Have you noticed any actual listings where prices dropped significantly, or is it mostly just rumors so far?
When I was house hunting, I saw quite a few empty units already, so I’m a bit concerned this incident might push more people to move out or discourage new buyers from coming in. Do you think there’s a real risk of the area becoming too quiet or deserted?
Most people living in PH already have their own homes, so it’s not that likely they’d buy another one, even if prices drop. I’m more worried whether this will make it harder to attract new buyers into the area. If outsiders are scared to come in and locals aren’t buying, then what will happen to the empty units?
I’m not sure about other commenters, but for me it’s more of the perception the gas fire has. Like we hear Tmn Sri Muda and think flood, right now people hear PH and think fire.
putra heights mainly malay and chinese community. mostly from USJ subang jaya.
people who stay here at first feel is very far cause we need 8 to 10 minutes to reach the main road on one city.
but after staying so long and most of the things you can buy from here. is already a norm.
outsider new to Putra height will feel this place is very deep inside from subang jaya.
PH mostly appeal to USJ people cause they live in subang jaya long time.
if you check PH buyer mostly is Subang people.
People outside those not subang base wont even consider, but they will talk bad about this place.
they never even come in before, even if they come in before probably once.
cause there is no big shopping mall here, nor there is any special attraction.
I dont agree you say this area deserted.
1) rich people area - The Glades, look at all the high class jaya grocer, startbuck build here. international school.
2) Sime Darby condo next to PH LRT, fully sold. everyone come and buy. RM 400k starting.
3) Pangsapuri Harmoni 1 RSKU, gov affordable housing, fully snap up, quite high occupancy
4) in front of Giant Hypermarket, new condo coming up
5) outside PH, we got chinese school
so many new development here, if you say this place no one wants where got possible keep growing bigger.
people that stays here
1) flood wont hit, why is it call Heights? we are quite high on the ground, our neighbour Bukit Lanchong is low area, quite pitiful when huge rain. will flood.
2) queit community, not messy road, clean road. security also quite good though some theft cant be avoided
this gas burst thing is something new to us. are we affected. probably traffic right now a bit disturbing.
but are we worry other gas pipe leak, i dont think so.
unless your house is at the disaster site area, if not, i dont think house price will drop that much.
who willing to sell cheap.
buyer will be mainly subang jaya people. people from cheras or puchong wont come here to buy.
if really people selling 35% or 40% below market, i think i go buy. no need to wait for outsider.
