Hi, i am new to this forum.
Great to find that many of you are strong believer of the Johor properties. I am a strong believer, especially nusajaya city due to the many developments that is announced and committed.
Any updates on imperia, puteri harbour? What is your views on the pricing of between 600-900psf for imperia?
Bro wuqiHi all, please don't use Mr Liu from now on for renovation as my relatives just got very high quotes from him even though we don't get anything.
Please use this contractor instead as my relatives had very good experience with them:

Just wondering how do bros here pay your mortgage in Malaysia.
My plan is to use a flexi-linked loan account where they will calculate your interest payable based on remaining principal minus the balance in the current account.
Transfer 1 years worth of installments into the current account and let it be deducted every month.
Extra money sitting in there is actually helping me save interest costs. (though there's a RM10 monthly fee for the facility)
I'll transfer the money from Sg to My about once every yr.
Not logical to do it monthly and incur the additional TT charges.
For the money transfer, I'm thinking of www.pay2home.com.
It charges $9 every transaction to any malaysia bank account regardless of amount remitted.
Currency conversion rates is supposed to be better than banks.
Any bros used b4 ?
I read somewhere that can use moneychanger to transfer to malaysia account. But I'm not sure they are doing it the 'licensed' way and there's a maximum amount per transaction, I think.
Thanks bro. Will take note at their exchange rate.....hi bro..i m using interest offset also...makes sense to do it as Sing savings interest rates are pathetic.
i had a quick check on your pay2home...2.4128? this is worse than bank's TT rates...2.44
mine is instant trans from CIMB Sing to CIMB M'sia...u can check my earlier post for details.
cheers bro .
Great, managed to meet a few HH marketing staff there as well as bankers who usually station at the HH sales office, met one of the guest speakers, and was honored to have a chat and dinner with Iproperty co-founder Mr J Tay, he shared briefly with me his views on Iskandar Malaysia. He and a guest speaker joined us for dinner, the Iskandar Malaysia discussion was good, I was told there will be more news to be announced sometime later, more developers from KL and Penang are coming in, and other things that we already know. EL and many other JB developments also have booths there!
Bro, so you bought Seri Austin and HH?
I hv checked out Seri Austin, didn't like the location, find it a bit too"deep" in...saw the houses that were on top of the hill and hv a nice view of jb city and surrounding -those with this view fully sold...nice but somehow, didn't hv that feeling about the place..and yes, prices hv not moved here though it is just a stone throw away from Setia's development! That's why I dun understand same location and same build up but price difference is huge!!!
Bandar Dato Onn , plan to check it out this weekend...anything to lookout for apart fr the cables,
Also, I think location of bandar dato Onn is way way much better than seri Austin, it's just on the way out o the NSHW, probably less than 3 mins if I not wrong...recall on the way out to Setia tropika, it was on the left side of the road next to an empty huge field! It's just like bukit indah but minus the jusco and commercial hub,

Fully agree that Bandar Dato Onn's location is much better. Not too far off from Kempas where the transport hub is gonna b in future too. I jus hv that "feel" about Seri Austin la, despite being more "ulu". Moreover intend to blend in w the locals n lead a quiet life when we retire. Different strokes for different folks la.
Any good find during the weekend?
Thanks to all Bros and Sisters here - I have taken the plunge over the weekend and paid a deposit for a place - met most of my requirements, corner house with land...and found the location and price(way below my budget) as well as the surrounding pretty good..
Thanks again for all the feedback and tips given here...
Cheers..
Some good news:
The coastal highway entrance outside Horizon Hills (right turn from HH) which was blocked by concrete bollards is now OPEN.
But only the turn towards Danga Bay (and Woodlands) is accessible, the 2nd link / Nusajaya route is still cordoned off.
Also, along the coastal route, the ramp (on the right hand side, after Danga Bay) leading up to the road leading to the CIQ is now open, allowing us to skip the annoying traffic light near thistle hotel.
UM is simply learning to become like Singapore Far East developers. Near the roundabout of Mindef they are launching a SOHO cum shopping centre type.. I wont be surprised if they launch at S$1500 psf even though the average FREEHOLD prices of the condo is only $900 psf. I suspect UM is trying to launch at "future" price.
wow spidey , u so fast hand and fast leg.
Happy for u !
Do u mind sharing with us where u bought ?
let me guess , is it Nusa Idaman ?
Is this the serviced apartment they have tied up with Ascott? If that is the case, the RM 1000 PSF may be because of some guaranteed returns over a few years.
