    b'cos 1,5000 Riggit psf may be equivalent to $ 5,000 psf in orchard. That's mean it is at the extreme end of psf scale ...

    For discussion sake, we just have 2 options.

    The reason why we compare Singapore vs Iskandar is that there are many developers buying land and developing houses/condos there.

    Singaporean are also flocking to buy properties there. Which is a better option if you would to chose?

    Its a general comparison as prices has increase quite substantially over the years in both countries.

    Given 2 choice, would you invest in Singapore properties or iskandar properties?

    Moving forward, which one would be a better bet?

    those nuts who pay 1500psf for iskandar are having the same mentality as those nuts who paid 1700psf for j gateway. 1500psf rm is developed klcc pricing and the pricing of upmarket areas in kl and not sua huang johor. Again like singaporeans being sucked into buying j gateway at ridiculous pricing because of JLD, singaporean goons are paying dearly for 99yr condo in johor just because of some future development. And again with most places being freehold in malaysia, it makes little sense to buy 99yr leasehold property in johor. Freehold landed homes near these new condos going for a only a few hundred psf may hold better investment prospects than paying 1500psf for 99yr airspace.

    you are right, i think its better to buy condo next to big Buddhist temple, that way during recession can just walk next door for free nuts and vegetarian food.

    Buying either for own use is definitely okay. Buying for investment is risky.

    Haha, that's what my brother-in-law's plan. His M'sian's wife had bought one near to Iskander which I think is slightly cheaper. But for me, I don't think I like the idea though the ppty prices in M'sia are very attractive. Think of the jam at the custom,
    wake up so early in the morning to come to S'pore to work,
    go back late ,
    safety,

    for M'sian to buy M'sia ppty is okay but for S'porean, I'm afraid that rules might change anytime not in our favour ,
    language because I don't know how to speak and understand Malay leh, though they know English but if you know Malay, it will be an advantage.

    If buy for investment, must prepare to spend more time on travel and go through the hassle at the custom cos of the jam. Unlike in S'pore where you stay, you can see your ppty as and when you like.

    I think he has made the right decision because the potential upside for landed property in Iskandar will be much better than Singapore.

    Malaysian's dream is to retire in Singapore for safety, good healthcare, good public transport, stable government.

    Singaporean's dream is to retire in Malaysia because it is cheaper.

    Buy SG ppty and rent it out, retired in Malaysia but NOT iskandar. Malaysia has plenty of land, Should buy at some matured estate, build a good class banglow.

    There is pent up demand for condo in Jurong East due to lack of new launches. People bought into J Gateway as Jurong Gateway will be a mixed use district, envisioned by the URA to be the largest commercial hub outside of Singapore’s city centre.

    The Ministry of National Development (MND), the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority and the Building and Construction Authority will be moving to a brand new mixed-use development at Jurong Gateway by 2015.

    There are major development in the area with JEM/IMM and upcoming Westgate, Big Box, JCube and Jurong General Hospital. J Gateway is well connected by major expressway Ayer Raja Expressway ( AYE ) and Pan Island Expressway ( PIE ).

    Investors are more looking at quantum level affordability. Just our 2 cents worth of thoughts

    That explains why it was fully sold in 1 day during the preview.

    Well time will tell. if the HERO will really be HERO or becom ZERO. when interest rates raise the test will be the rental verses yield. if it will really can hold up.

    I will not go into property in Malaysia because I feel they are too
    "unregulated". Their corrupted official can do whatever they like
    and the garment can pass down any bill they like anytime.
