I am looking for a condominium to buy near CIQ as I work in Singapore and would like to stay in JB. A seller is asking for up to 380k for a 12th floor unit and I think there are quite some renovation work required. What is your opinion on Wadihana condominium as a home/investment for future?

Hi Mr Ong

We are looking to invest in a 720 sq ft apartment in Duta Impian (Embassy Suites) in JB. Price there is about RM200k ~ RM250K. Strata title is already issued. Maintenance is RM150/pm. Would you consider this aaprtment to be a good investment. I read on a some forums that there is no way for JB apartments to appreciate in price. Price always falls after launch. Is that true? Maybe we should invest in landed house? But rents for landed house seem very low. Thanks for your advice.

Hi Kar Leong,

1. Permas Jaya’s biggest problem is the traffic system. However, I am not staying there and hence can’t give you much opinion about the living environment there.
2. An email has been sent to you.

Cheers

Hi June,

RM260k for 713 sqf is considered high in that area. I suppose it is Sri Samudera condo which I have posted many comments about it in this blog.
If she really likes the place, you can ask her to find more property agents to look for other units in the condo. Otherwise, try to negotiate by offering a price below RM200k and wait for the reply. To look for a good investment, patience is all you need.

Cheers
