Price:
Compare with Condo development in Setapak:
  • Zen Suites @ ZetaPark (same developer) ~ price from approx. RM462/ft2 (price info @ Dec 2010) ~ The Loft - ZetaPark is approx. 26% higher
Compare with Condo development nearby:
  • Saville @ Melawati ~ price approx. RM375/ft2 (price info @ Oct 2010) ~ The Loft - ZetaPark is approx. 55% higher

My View:

The price/ft2 is approx. 26% to 55% higher than other Condo developments as shown above.

Price/ft2 gone up 26% to 55% in a year time? Is this reasonable? Besides Zen Suites @ ZetaPark is developed by the same Developer. You should go visit these developments to see the difference and find out the reasons.

Total units comparison:
  • Zen Suites @ ZetaPark ~ 288 units (Leasehold)
  • Saville @ Melawati ~ 408 units (Freehold)
  • The Loft - ZetaPark ~ 470 units (Leasehold)
Is it worth to pay more for a leasehold or higher density Condo development?


Based on 90% loan for RM399,800, say BLR6.6%-2.4% = 4.2% interest per annum, for 30 years. The monthly repayment is approx. RM1,759. If you are planning to buy & rent out for investment, you need to take these into consideration:

Will ppl willing to pay more than RM1,759 per month to rent a place in Setapak?

Don't forget the approx. monthly repayment of RM1,759 excludes following items:
a) Maintenance fees (approx. RM207/month)
b) Assessment tax
c) Quit rent
d) Interest rates increased for the loan (this is the main risk as BLR still low at the moment)

Buy & rent market, this is not really a good investment opportunity as you are targeting smaller group of people, eg. expat or people working in Setapak or nearby. For RM1,759+207=1,966/month, you can easily rent a condo nearer to KLCC (even bigger in size too).

For own stay, you might need to wait for a longer time before the price/ft2 go up further.
