Sungai Buloh MRT a catalyst to nearby developments
Sungai Buloh is an area considered ‘very far’ from the KL city centre. Not for me but for most of my friends, it is such. As usual, my comparison is always based on an area to KLCC Park at Jalan Ampang. Do take a look at the google map image. Assuming one were to start…

Supply concerns will lead to price correction?
I read a study which was done sometime back (let’s not mention the actual report here). It says that with the oversupply situation, it will lead to price correction. On a big picture basis, perhaps that is true. However, if you stay in some VERY SOUGHT AFTER neighbourhood today, did your neighbour just sold off…

Foreigners love condos in Thailand and Malaysia
Within this year itself, I think I visited Bangkok 4 times. Except for the jam that never seem to end, I love Bangkok. I love the friendly people, the delicious street food and the good service in hotels. I wanted to bring my family for a visit too, perhaps next year. Every time I pass…

A thoughtful family-sized condo in Kuchai Lama – The Riyang @ Happy Garden
Recently, the CEO of Suntrack, a boutique developer gave me a one-hour presentation about his project; The Riyang @ Happy Garden. I think it could have easily been 2 hours because he was very hands-on and answered all my questions immediately. I would rate his presentation one of the best from a CEO of a…

Sky Avenue. Too big? Worry or still getting ready?
Two foreign visitors were talking about Genting Highland’s Sky Avenue. The man said, “I think this is too big. There are so many parts still closed up and not opened. Many shops still have seats in them during lunch time. They (Genting Group) should build a smaller one and expand when the market can take…

Flipping is still possible in that 2008 mortgage crisis market. Interesting.
Do you have many friends who are telling you that they could flip properties currently? I think flipping stocks in BURSA perhaps but flipping in the property market is not likely. Unless of course we are more active in the auction market and managed to buy a grossly undervalued property. Prices of today is sometimes…

Interest rates still high and EPF is needed to buy property
Do you withdraw from your EPF to have enough downpayment for a property? This seems to be the usual for many Malaysians these days. Besides that, half of all Malaysians feel that the interest rates are too high. Well, Bank Negara Malaysia is still maintaining the rates so that it can be accommodative to the…

‘Hope’ in a subdued (property) market?
A good title to an article usually attracts readers to read. There’s one in NST with the title of: Henry Butcher Malaysia Study: ‘There’s still hope in subdued market’ It offers views from a famous real estate company about the state of the property market of Malaysia. I would say that the article is considered positive. For…

4 to a home versus 3 to a home, the significance?
I read an interesting article by Datuk Alan Tong in TheStar. Do read for more understanding and knowledge about his latest thought about property market Malaysia. One significant point is that Malaysia still have 4 persons to a home today. I think based on how I look at our family relationships here in Malaysia, 4…

What you gonna do when they come for you. Bad boys.
I seriously hate people who skip paying their maintenance fees. They think it is their right, I think they ought to be taught what’s right. Someone from the authorities may be helping me to teach them what’s right now. Here’s a report about it in TheStar. Using the Strata Management Act 2013 the authorities could…
