Personally I would recommend you to buy home in Singapore first.
If you pay large overseas installment, and HDB has many restriction of owning private residential, you would never own any SG home.

i see your posts everywhere. in skyscrapercity forum, in myrealestate forum, your first post here etc. all pointing people to straits view website. your first posts all look like they're photocopied...
Lol... If I were an agent, I would be leaving my contact everywhere and talking about Horizon Hills like everyone else here is. I'm providing a balanced view in this thread. Most of the people here own places near Nusajaya. So my contribution is to let people know that there are good alternatives near the first link as well. I don't really care if you believe or not, but I'm an owner in Straits View. If you also own a place there, ill like to say hi as neighbors
yup bro, actually now the only question for me is to buy private straight or buy EC/HDB/DBSS and be regulated till MOP over.
Haha.. actually won't miss the boat if I go for NI. A lot of units left, just that the promotion of rebates will end on Saturday. It should had ended in nov but they extended it. I don't think they will dare to increase the price of existing phases and remove the discount at the same time. No one will buy Liao ... In fact, many people didn't like the sales tactic for these recent phases. Before launch, they gave out an indicative price tempted many interests. Then when they officially sell it, the price increased by a staggering 50k! Many people were put off by it lor ...
If I miss this Saturday, the most will be I pay 10k more, once they end the rebate promo.
Nusa bayu and Nusa indah are definite no no no. Nusa sentral still quite value for money, 400k can get a 2300 sqft built up. But it's a bit rural and I don't get the feel and pride of staying there leh
10 years before making your bold step, it's never too late. And because u have waited, u r now reaping the fruit of patience, and able to make wise choices in properties now
DREAMorACTION,
10k is very little for 500k home. Dont' save 10k and regretting 490k.
Don't be pressued by discount. Forget the discount and think.
I never buy home because attracted to free this and that. To me it is minimal.
My consideration always whether I buy still within value and appreciation potential. And in fact this is the hardest part.
wow one of the most intelligent minds i have had the luck to come across online.
your wise words should be revered and carved into stone.

Ok. Singles in sinkie land has no priority at all. Govt thinks our money is stink , dun let us buy brand new house. And resale flat n cov is too high , I dun wan to be a cow n pay debts till death.
Since u r young n if hv gf Liao can start to plan n buy Hdb , dun waste e chance. Buy private later. Never give up Hdb.
Nope, no own home in Sg. Don't intent to have one either. Lifestyle is much better with more flexibility for having it in JB. I have no issue whatsoever for not having a home in Sg
hey bro, SORRY maybe my post is too serious, you have posted your most serious post ever. I remember you saying your job is stressful. chill man!
Buy resale HDB when good time arrives if you can't enjoy the 1st HDB home.
After that think of buying overseas home.
Should be civilian only, believe main part of RR's investment is for the Trent1000 engines on the new Boeing 787 Dreamliners...
As for 3rd link (tunnel), I also think like a few others here that it should be somewhere Punggol (maybe near the end of Punggol Road) ... to connect Pasir Gudang.
Anyway, we'll know soon enough!
Yes. bro. i do agree with many of the points you raised. human beings are never contented. I have many friends who stayed in landed and told me the same thing..."Landed is no big deal"...Similarly, many people in SG yearn to upgrade to a condo when they have a HDB, and as it turns out, having stayed at a condo before, i can categorically say that "staying in condo is also no big deal"..in fact i prefer my present HDB to my previous condo. Its like buying toys for my toddler kids, after playing for a while, they will chuck it one side and ask "whats next?"....
Ironically, people tend to treasure what they dont have and take for granted what they have. I always like the story of asking a Beijing resident whether have they climbed the great wall, and you will be surprised how many of them have not done it cos its in their own back yard and they feel they can go anytime while tourist from faraway places pay thousands just to visit the great wall. So to M'sians, landed can mean nothing cos it is so common and cheap there,..but in land scarce SG, it represents a breath of fresh air from the bird cages we have been born into.
cheers.
Yah bro agree. That's why I haven't rushed into it yet. Its all sales tactic to rush me but im not letting it to be my major concerns. Just pointing out that since i have identified the area and developement, i might as well take up the discount while its still ongoing, just that im having some obstacles from the closed ones, so still dangling at the moment. Mine is not for rental so I have lesser concerns than u.
Btw, from ur other post, there are indeed a lot of high rise development coming up in medini. Stay tune

many of us were once like him. Sometimes it's not about the place, it's about the people. JB hasn't changed much, but the community has perhaps changed the most in the last decade. His second post was a little more polite, maybe he has started reading from page 1.
I've seen the floorplans for 2-bedder, that bad? It's 106 to 112sqm right? Bigger than the new 4-room HDB flats lol. Maybe the layout sucks? I don't know, quite subjective.
At 600k, it's kinda high compared to others in JB, but not really high compared to KL and Penang. If the whole project in west iskandar takes shape, it has more room to appreciate. (whereas for KL and penang, if global economy crisis hits, it has more room to crash. Prop don't crash same % in same country, depends on regions, types of housing)
Rental rates in JB is also very low compared to KL, Penang, so if Nusajaya continues to appreciate, so will rental.
Your 3.8% refers to rental yield, it's a different terminology to be used for property only, i.e. it does not get you the same % of returns when you compare to FD, you should compare to other prop rentals, but cannot compare to FD or other lump sum investments. The leveraging of money is totally different. (e.g. the first 1-2yrs before breakeven, no matter how high your rental, you're still losing money, after breakeven, your earnings scales up year by year, until property depreciate of coz)
sorry, i also dunno when is the completion date as yet. the site is confirmed at the water tank location before the gelang patah/EL exit.
good to know!
Hello bro, u r finally back here? So busy over renotalk ah.
No. Only frown!
I see a new trend here. maybe 10 years ago, it would have been crazy for people to think of buying their first home in JB, but now single youths are seeing the possibility.
What you said about Great Wall really hits me. haha
I was studying in Europe and at my backyard was a wellknown Zoo (surprisingly the Zoo is in the city). I've never been there despite having spent 7 years there. OMG before I left I just realized I should have visited it
