    That's what the marketing video wants to convey to the buyers but personally I think it pales in comparison because it does not have a Sentosa Resort in the vicinity and it is near a city that's is badly awaiting its time to be spruced up to an acceptable standard.

    I have yet to see it. Does it comes with imported marble flooring for the living area, marble top furnishing for bathroom wash basin with imported taps, toilet bowl, bathtub from Europe? Does it has solid parquet flooring for the stairs and bedroom floors? Does it comes with designer doors for...

    I can totally understand your sentiments but our opposition parties standards and sincerity are way too below standards to lead us into a new future. We would need a man of substance like LKY in his younger days to appear in our opposition parties from out of our very frustrated...

    Basically on surface, I can agree with your statements. But we have to bear in mind the following: 1. Sentosa Cove prices can be supported by a few filthy rich PRC Chinese because it is a small development with excellent facilities but Iskandar is a huge development, land area already bigger...

    If you calculate based on similar terms, i.e RM1 million terrace with RM 800k loan at 4.5% interest over 30 years, the monthly mortgage repayment would be unbearable to most local malaysian workers except maybe the doctors, lawyers and some businessman.

    Agreed. We not actually importing lots of foreign talents into SG. That is a real misconception due to our govt lying or using it as an excuse to import more cheap "foreign talents", basically cheaper labors to support our GDP growth. Thanks to PAP Govt's propaganda, now everyone in the world...

    But most Malaysian workers has relatively low salary compared to Singaporeans and SPR. So can use EPF also cannot afford million dollar JB property.

    Agreed. It is the CPF and relative high paying job in SG and low mortgage interest rate that allows Singaporeans and SPR to afford paying for the skyrocket prices of property prices in SG. JB Property developers and rich investors in JB will be sorely mistaken if they assumed that...

    Paying $1.2 mil for an inter terrace is definitely not worth it. You are all surrounded by concrete walls, no place for greenery. With a corner terrace, at least you have extra land to create your greenery or even easily extend your built-up area. The enviroment around terraces is also very...

    We have to think in terms of current property market conditions in SG and MY. If HDB 3 rooms flats are selling above SG $500k, then RM1.2 mil for the inter terrace would be a good deal under current public transportation and causeway traffic conditions. When the the MRT link is completed...

    Guess what happens to that $1 coin in your shopping troLLies ?..

    How to trust them with security of the premises when the security guard mind is always focusing on earning that extra "tips". Just like how to trust PAP govt to look after its own citizens when all they think is GDP.

    I would think $1.2 million is an incredible pricing for an inter terrace no matter how nicely done or well-furnished the unit is.

    Got to consider the following to determine if it is a good deal : 1. Is it a corner terrace with 20 ft land, carpet grass? 2. Built up area - is it above $3000 sq ft? 3. Excluding land, is it at least 28ft x 80 ft? 4. Car porch - is it fully tiled? 5. Main gate is it replaced with...

    I think this Buddha quote might help you. :D Buddha Quote #392 - If an individual has a calm state of mind ... If an individual has a calm state of mind, that person's attitudes and views will be calm and tranquil even in the presence of great agitation. By Tenzin Gyatso

    No lah, it is not for you. :) Started including my signature in other threads when I thought that some forumer might need some spiritual help. It is okay to make mistake, to be purely mistaken and even bias but purposefully spouting the untruth with ill intention will need the "care" of Budhha.

    It is not correct to simply say increase in demand = increase in price. More correct to say increase in price will happen when demand outstrip supply. Also increase in investor demand (not residence demand) = increase in price volatility. Only when there is increase in residence...

    I would think it is more appropriate to compare JB properties with SG properties by first subtracting away the land cost that developers had bid for it as there is a very huge difference in prices. The rest such as labour cost and material cost are less volatile. If the developers here are...

    Not encouraging you to pick a fight or slander a party of lesser status. Best still don't slander anyone because it is wrong. But when you got proof of the a developer corruption deeds, then that is not consider slandering; we all will give you our fullest support even if you are being...

    Re: Your Friendly Bank in Singapore! Good that you suggested it since many SG are buying 2 stories and 3-stories landed properties here for retirement. In fact I have been doing a little thinking/researching about the feasibility and regulation to have a lift retrofitted in a terrace or...
