Located in the Bandar Seri Putra township, Rimbun Suria comprises 87 double-storey terraced homes with a tropical theme. Inspired by nature, the homes feature “flexibility of useable space and modern contemporary features” and are set amidst greenery and tropical foliage.

 

The homes, officially launched in early October, are developed by UMLand’s subsidiary, Bangi Heights Development Sdn Bhd.

Bandar Seri Putra was first introduced by UMLand in 1997 and is home to some 14,000 residents. The freehold township is located in the southern part of Klang Valley, and is easily accessible from the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban highway and only 20 minutes to the city centre via the Putra Mahkota interchange.

UMLand is listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia. Its township division has three integrated township developments with a total land area of over 5,000 acres in Johor (Bandar Seri Alam and Taman Seri Austin) and Selangor (Bandar Seri Putra).

Malaysia Residential Property Market before Election 2013

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 — Asia’s number one network of property portals, iProperty Group, expects the residential property market to be soft in the first quarter of this year as investors stay on the sidelines.

The group said with the exorbitantly high selling prices, stringent banking rules and uncertainty from the upcoming general election, more property investors are being cautious in their approach, thus limiting property
speculation activities.

Chief Executive Officer Shaun Di Gregorio said this, however, would present a good opportunity for home owners to enter the market as prices would likely remain stable and be less prone to rapid increases.

“The property market is expected to remain stable this year, subject to the election being done and out of the way,” he told a press conference on the group’s Asia Property Market Sentiment Survey (H1) 2013.

Di Gregorio said although property prices in Malaysia have accelerated in the past few years, they are still deemed good value due to the good infrastructure by regional standards, good hospitals and schools.

For the second half of this year, he said, assuming the election is held in the first half, the property market should be fairly good and stable.

On key findings in the survey, he said Malaysians have the highest annual household income compared with respondents in Indonesia, Hong Kong and Singapore.

“From over 8,000 respondents in Malaysia, with the majority aged 26-35 years old, 57 per cent had an annual household income of RM30,001-RM80,000, while 41 per cent of the local respondents owned significantly more than one property, compared with respondents in Indonesia (16 per cent), Hong Kong (18 per cent) and Singapore (22 per cent),” he said.

The survey findings also indicated that 34 per cent of the respondents’ budget was between RM350,001-RM500,000, with landed properties the most popular choice.

“Half of the local respondents said property prices were too highly priced, while 16 per cent answered that they could not find a suitable property and 69 per cent of the respondents called for more affordable housing, as it is likely that many families are starting to feel the weight of soaring property prices,” he said.

Di Gregorio said respondents were largely split between wanting the government to do more and believing that the recent increase in income limit for the My First Home Scheme would be enough to assist people on their home-ownership journey.– BERNAMA

 

THE residential property market in Malaysia is expected to remain stable this year, with more transactions expected for landed properties priced between RM350,000 and RM500,000.

iProperty Group chief executive officer Shaun Di Gregorio said developers have shifted their focus to build houses in that price range.
Based on the iProperty.com Asia Property Market Sentiment Survey 2013, 79 per cent of the 8,048 respondents indicated their intention to buy a property worth RM350,000 to RM500,000 over the next six months to 24 months.

Speaking at the launch of the survey findings yesterday, Di Gregorio said landed properties remain the most popular choice compared to condominiums and apartments. "Apartments are good investment options but they want to buy land, hence, the rising demand for landed properties. However, for that price range, buyers will have to go out of town.

"The light rail transit (LRT) extension and the MyRapid Transit (MRT) projects will offer good potential for out-of-town developments," Di Gregorio said. Based on the data released by the National Property Information Centre (Napic), the residential segment accounted for RM61.83 billion of the total RM137.83 billion worth of properties sold in 2011. Napic has not released the data for 2012.

"We expect the first half of this year to remain soft but with the general election out of the way soon, the market represents a good buying opportunity for first time or second property buyers. "A soft market by definition means a stable one, where you won't see rapid increase in price. No one is overly optimistic or pessimistic. They expect a stable market this year, slightly better than 2012," said Di Gregorio.

The survey showed that price and location were the two key factors that the respondents viewed as important ahead of political/economic climate when deciding to purchase a property. According to Di Gregorio, the current global uncertainty is having an effect on the local property market but demand for new housing will improve if Malaysia's economy and employment rate remain strong.

The survey showed that the most important issue of concern in the local property market currently was affordability and rising house prices. A significant number of respondents also expressed high concern about home financing policies and interest rates, as well as errant developers and building quality.
