Type A Living AreaType A Master Bedroom

My View:
Based on the above information, the price/ft2 is approx. 24% to 105% higher than other Condo developments nearby.

The desity is consider high if compare with others as shown below:

Sé terra ~ 46 units
Olives Residences ~ 88 units
Acappella Residence ~ 125 units
8 Petaling @ Sri Petaling ~ 156 units
Neo Damansara ~ 266 units
Boulevard Residence Damansara ~ 300 units
I-Resident @ Shah Alam, section 7 ~ 346units
Nadayu 28 Bandar Sunway ~ 411 units

Is it worth to pay extra to have a higher density condo?

Based on 90% loan for RM702,000, say BLR6.6%-2.4% = 4.2% interest per annum, for 30 years. The monthly repayment is approx. RM3,089. If you are planning to buy & rent out for investment, you need to take these into consideration:

Will ppl willing to pay more than RM3,089 per month to rent a place in Subang Jaya? 

Don't forget the approx. monthly repayment of RM3,089 excludes following items:
a) Maintenance fees (from approx. RM297/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 a really good investment opportunity as you are targeting smaller group of people especially expat to rent it.

Again I still believe the property prices in Klang Valley are too high at the moment and should collapse soon (maybe after 2012 election). Unless you are desperately to invest now, we shall keep more cash in hand for rainy days.

My View:
As shown above, the price/ft2 is approx. 14% to 48% lower than the other Condo developments in Shah Alam and nearby locations. Is it worth to pay extra just for the condo facilities?

Based on 90% loan for RM700,000, say BLR6.6%-2.4% = 4.2% interest per annum, for 30 years. The monthly repayment is approx. RM3,080. If you are planning to buy & rent for investment, you need to take these into consideration:

Will ppl willing to pay more than RM3,080 per month to rent this?

Don't forget the approx. monthly repayment of RM3,080 excludes following items:
a) Maintenance fees
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)

For buy & rent market, this is not a really good investment opportunity as you are targeting smaller group of people especially expat to rent it.
For long term investment option, the price/ft2 is consider reasonable.
Besides, condo developments launched recently around Cyberjaya, which is far away from KLCC, are selling more than RM400/ft2.

Nowadays it is norm for properties in Klang Valley selling at around RM350/ft2, however this doesn't mean the price will continue to sustain. [Read my preview post - 2012 - Malaysia Property Market Gonna Sustain?]

To me, although the price/ft2 is consider reasonable, I still believe the property prices in Klang Valley are too high at the moment and should collapse soon (maybe after 2012 election). Unless you are desperately to invest now, we shall keep more cash in hand for rainy days.

One more thing is that I still prefer the old style of terrace house rather than the new concept of townhouse which is not very common in Malaysia. Do you like to have someone stay above or below you?
