    Hi Mathstub, Actually Greens is priced higher than Hills. You have complicated the maths (pun intended :)) by trying to figure around the unbuilt portion of the land. Put aside that part, because ratio-wise the unbuilt areas are same for any intermediate house. So what is relevant is...

    Hi Crystal, I am very happy for what you are doing for NI specifically and JB-enthusiasts in general. You are like what Iskandar calls a 'catalyst'. Thus is sad for me to see you sad. So let me help explain you the phenomenon you are witnessing and maybe cheer you up. Do not misinterprete...

    Re: causeway link bus here today, gone tomorrow! Brother DreamorAction, your 180 beats per minute reminds me of the time I was in the same position. I ditthered and I missed the developer-price HH Golf terrace. Someone more decisive (or at the time I saw as more 'daring') got ahead...

    Actually rental for Singapore expat is a potential, I feel. My American colleague gets company car in his package. So he can drive the Singapore plate across. Company can pay for his rental or give him housing allowance to sort it out. Americans like their space. While British may be attracted...

    Hi mathstub, In my humble opinion, intermediate terrace Hills without golf view no problem at all. If I want golf view, I just walk down the road, cross the bridge to the clubhouse and go play golf. Also per its name sake being on the hill, can access some views of the golf course (to the east...

    Thanks for the endorsement for JPO. Gives me encouragement to make the trip there with family. I dont know why people put it down vs the US? For sure I do not think the prices could have been expected to be similar. After all they do have to fly the goods via KL then truck them to JB. At least...

    Errr a word of caution on last part. Was in KL two week ago and I saw on TV the news that Malaysia Gov will fine RM500k for people asking their maid to work in someone else's house. Maybe it was for Indonesian maids only? Not sure. Just careful to check.

    Hi Investor, This one I agree. We must always keep in mind the target market. If it is upper middle class and above people for the semi-d and bungalows, then good chance they play golf. Already we have Arsenal & Icyraine. HH has a leg up on this. I believe many people buy HH after playing...

    Indeed. Thanks for that clarification. Those were funny days with the naysayers lurking at every corner even to scare people from even investing RM250k in houses in JB :)

    The website's 'availability' & pricing data are grossly unrealiable. Only use it for the brochures references. Even then new launches brochures not uploaded. They stopped updating in late 2010. Clusters in Golf no more developers units and Clusters in Hills going for around RM900k.. Visit the...

    Hi Bro Investor, Nice problem to have there. Why put all eggs in one basket, in EL? If in your shoes, I would go for HH for diversity. I will explain my rationale but it involves a little walk down the recent memory lane so pls bear with me...read on; The differences in take up is down to...

    Buying from Malaysia developers at the launch always cheaper because no intermediary to take a cut. (Of course cheapest is always when there is a firesale). As demand runs up, the developer increases price of subsequent release even if of same type house. Will be silly not to. So when...

    I think you have mistaken EDL in East that feeds into Causeway. Coastal Highway is in the West that links Danga to 2nd link instead. CH runs thru Nusajaya. Smooth as silk.

    Thanks for your story Icyraine. Welcome to the forum. Your perspective stands out because is about a Malaysian moving to JB and working in JB. Is interesting to know the medical plans are growing into reality and not just talk by IRDA.

    Go straight to HH sales office at the clubhouse. If you want facts, they are there. They can even show you which unit is Bumi to b sure. Probably right no more Golf link units but sometimes some unit come up at developer original price if customer cannot secure financing...

    Hi LGLab, If she has not seen it yet, you can show wifey the e-brochure from HH website http://www.horizonhills.com.my/pdf/1a1(20x70).pdf. To access the other house-types brochures, when you are in the HH website, click e-marketing. Love the jingle of the site. Is hypnotic . . . Sure must...

    Hi avelc, Interesting. I hope you will be right that the SG fall will not be so much. IMHO, SG prop prices will fall but agree with you not by the 30% that SCB is forecasting. 25% of the population are foreigners. With demand drying up in Europe & US, economic demand for goods and services in...
