Property Grumble (Issue No.2)

It has been a long, long week.

Tedious sales of properties as well, with hundreds of properties posted up for sale everyday, hundreds of new properties being erected everyday, and it's all launches, launches and further launches.

Before I am taking a few days' leave for a breather away, well, guess I should do some grumbling first.

Just managed to obtain a few pictures in Permyjaya, Miri during a car stroll there. Let's take a look at the first item here. Something that drew my attention. It's a 1 1/2 Storey Semi-Detached house for sale. And it's newly built. I actually liked the design, which differs from most of the delivered homes in Permyjaya. Good compound as well. Suggest you to take some walking around if you're hunting for a home there. As for the pricing, a good guess would be somewhere the least RM315K.

 

 And there was this recently mass-promoted Carissa Double Storey Terrace from Naim. Well, again, some conventional design, but you can see the copied characteristics in the windows for both the property on top and Carissa. And there are 2 or 3 more rows to be completed. Gosh, is Miri so highly populated?

Furthermore, there is this God-Knows-Its-Name Single Storey with a porcupine-colored roof. And it was hardly resided at all. Not a single car. Not a single soul. If it is to be sold at more than RM200K, guess who is there to be sharked?

And even more from a nearby lane, whereby even facing the outer main road, I only managed to capture one car being around.

And there are these forever-selling Laurelias and Veronicas.

And I wonder why no one have ever thought of getting some commercial properties in, at least a row of shoplots, with some basic grocery stores, kopitiams, restaurants or even a pirated DVD shop will do. Serving a large community there, for those lazy to drive far out to the town for some dinner or grocery buying after a long day back from work. It will be quite a good fortune to earn, right?

Imagine how many more isolated homes in Piasau and Pujut? And yet all these new townships, new homes, and a whole haystack of unsold shophouses just beside the nearly-completed PermyMall, it's just a big pile of wasted bricks and plaster.

And there goes Penang, with all the condominiums unsold, probably more than 50% I presumed, as I previously predicted.

Sometimes, it's just not about building more houses.
