House Hunting

May 20th, 2010 Posted in Business, Investment

One of our goals is finding a nice property nearby our work place.  Not so near the city but not so far either.  A colleague of mine has related his experience in building his own house to the point that he can write a book about it.  I guess there are pros and cons in building your own house.  If we managed to get a small lot, we would build one ourselves.  But land is so hard to come by these days.  The other option is to find  a built-up house.  The price of residential properties these days are ridiculously high.  For example a 1600 sqr foot house will normally cost at at least RM320K.  That’s just to much.  Your credit reports must be in order to obtain a housing loan too. The next option is to find an older house that has bigger area.

    Been doing my own “window shopping” on KK houses lately too. I agree they’re ridiculously overpriced. Just another 10-15 kms off KK (Inanam, Menggatal, Lok Kawi) and the prices are slashed by half. I’m still waiting for that bubble to burst like 10 yrs ago when it did.
