Given your analogy, there won't be so many sell out project, some even before official launch.

Many who want a simple and better lifestyle, and a taste of staying in a scary foreign land ( to some ) the condo is probably the best way to start out.

You spent 200k for 1214sq ft, equivalent to a 5 room flat here but with full condo facilities. Walk to a major mall with wide varieties of food at half the price in Singapore. during long weekend, drive to malacca, KL or genting, eat, shop, gamble or going on a jungle trek to burn some calories, play a game of. Golf, visit a waterfall to feel the therapeutic effect of the fall etc.....In Singapore many choose get squeeze in one of the mall or queuing for some food in a hawker, food court or restaurant....:smile:

Of course, the one thing that I must agree is the lacking in security that will be long long way for them to catch up. If one does not having school going children, with some vigilant and common sense you eventually enjoy a better quality of life at a much lower cost. work less, play more.....:smile:

Not really if u look carefully, majority of the buyers probably min 80% buy for investment purpose instead of own stay....

And u probably read my post wrongly, there is no statement abt whether investing in iskandar is good or not..

I am referring to landed and non landed in iskandar. If compare psf price, condo/apartment psf of e.g. Rm5xx to rm1xxx are way much much much more ex than landed at mostly rm2xx to max rm3xx psf for general tamans...

It is way opposite as compare to lion city, in landed psf definitely even way more ex than condo...

In lion city, land are precious, landed property is not even in a dream of most ppl.
Given cheaper landed than non landed in JB, why use opposite logic to buy non landed in iskandar.

Using the sole security or facilities is purely weak to justify for the advantage vs the disadvantages of it which I had listed a few only on the previous post...

Hi cascadia, thanks for your views & thoughts, very enlightening and you are right at this moment I belong to the majority whereby I doesn’t intend to stay. Investment wise, maybe…if it goes up, it’s a bonus if not it might be my plan B for retirement in future. Thus at this moment, it will serves as a weekend home whereby my family will enjoy.

In Singapore, Landed actually in terms of psf is cheaper then condo if you compare within the same vicinity. Landed looks more expensive because of the built up and size, the quantum is much higher compare to condos.

Exactly the pt, condo with small built-up area and again so expensive.. In what way it is more worth it to buy than landed?

Not about worth it or not... condos are more affordable as condo are smaller. price cheaper although psf higher. Not everyone have deep pockets to get landed. (I am talking about sg properties)

Everyone are different. Hence different choice in life, including purchasing of house or condo.

For me, I prefer landed house but my hubby prefers condo in Malaysia.
His reason is better security, more amenities and more facilities in condo.
For me, I want to have a land that belongs to us and in term of psf, landed is much cheaper.

So in the end, he got his condo and I got my house. win-win situation. :smile:

I have mixed feelings.. like to stay in landed but afraid of kaka (insects,etc) and also hassle of maintaining a huge house.

Since the banks want to lend me money, so just buy for sons and retirement .

Also, with the amount of money that we have,
we cannot afford any more house purchase in Singapore .

Inflation is another concern.
Keep the money in the bank
and the dollar value is depreciating as years go by .

Sounds familiar to a story related by my banker recently. But she din understand that S$300k can only buy a small HDB in ulu part of SG compare to a FH G&G landed in a good location in JB.

My HDB flat in Jurong West is more expensive than my landed house in Malaysia.
