Don't think there is. It's gold mine remember? They rather build houses to earn more profit lol.

So no perm driving range in the area?

Thanks.

Wow bro. Please keep us posted if u have identified any. 1medini should be launching this month, hearsay. Hope can visit their showroom soon. I drove past and saw that their model is actually ready, but sales office wasnt opened.

Good for you bro,...doing your homework.

When i first bought a house in JB,..my initial plan was to have a weekend home partly so that my kids can have an spacious environment away from the evils of TV and internet. So i told myself just buy one landed at a ok location can liao and at close to the min RM500K+. Dont waste so much monies..just in case things doesnt work out. I dont see it as investing rather as an alternate location to play and retire.

However over the last couple of months, i have visited multiple developments such as Educity, Puteri Harbour, Kota Iskandar etc and I realise my objective is slowing changing. Indeed one can read about all their grand plans on paper/internet/forum etc but the impact of what the Msians are planning and doing doesnt really hit you until you are walking the grounds, smelling the air and seeing it with your own two eyes.

So i am seriously thinking of buying another property in JB to invest this time round....most likely to be a condo.

cheers.

maybe if more such tournaments are organised, they will see a need to build a perm one. lol I heard this infamous Member of Parliament is a resident here, maybe they can help improve bi relationships. hehe

it's very tiring, i think I've visited these other 7 developments on average more than 6-8 times. Been to more than 30 tamans. no kid. It's like a part time job.

Next we went to Nusa Duta, but probably because they have almost sold out the current phrases, they decided not to open on the eve of New Year. Went in to have a re-tour of the precinct and have seen many new home owners moved in with very extensive renovations. Some are very tasteful indeed. Too bad the sales unit wasn't open.

Heard from the Sales people at Nusa Duta that a new phase of Cluster Semi-Ds will be launched at RM 800K upwards and the Semi-Ds nearer to RM 1 M. The earlier Semi-Ds were at RM 790K+! Looks like the price increases are once again worked in.

Hi Bro, can you elaborate what kind of HH unit has increased about 42.5% in 6 months? I am really very surprised..

Happy New Year everyone!!!
l
And I am super delighted to know HH is currently selling the same unit type I purchased at about 42.5% higher than the price listed in my SPA signed just 6 months ago.

I am very satisfied with a 6 months 40% paper gain, what more, the bumi units are probably not released yet, so another round of price increase is expected. And I thought this price is crazy, but after checking with similar units in other tamans (I shall not name), I found out that this price is comparable to the prices in other tamans. So it should be sustainable lah!

Hi Bro, it is Fairway Suites as it was bought early last year, signed spa in June 2011, but locked in 2010 August price. So it was a bargain.

I was comparing to the current lowest psf price, (no view, lowest floor) as quoted by the sales.

Hi FT, thanks for sharing the information, seems ND was a right investment after all.

To everyone here:

Wishing all a prosperous 2012 no matter where you are or what your political affliation might be.

I have been requested to start a new thread to keep things searchable, etc. This thread will still be archived as a sticky
by Mr Leong but will be closed once we reach 800 pages.

The new thread will be started shortly.

Makes sense now, I was wondering what landed property could possibly have achieved that kind of price appreciation.

Thanks for the info on the driving range though. Makes sense, since people go to the area to actually play golf, no point wasting real estate on a range. Tried to PM you btw.

Hi bro, i've cleared already. =)

Happy New Year Bro. Not such good news that THIS THREAD will be closed. It contains a wealth of information as well as camaraderie for it to be silenced and DELETED????? It will still be HERE right!!!!! It won't be DELETED by MR. Leong but will remain as a reference thread for anyone to read if they wanted infor abt. J/B or Nusajaya in general, correct????

bro..i think 1medini is leasehold...sian. in fact if i am not wrong, the whole medini is 99 years nia. i rem the area was in exchange with SG for land in Marina area..both for joint development...so 99 for 99...
