To upgrade or not to upgrade - Finally NOT TO UPGRADE Yeeee !!! lega !!!

Sometimes it is good to let our "angan-angan" wonder around sekejap - but not for long. This time angan-angan nak pindah rumah ! This topic we have to "Jangan Berhenti Berharap"

The first house buy we made was 8 years ago. We moved in to our firstly "bought" house 6 years ago. It's a 2015 sq ft built up with a tiny little compound at the front and another tiny little compound at the back of the house.
The porch can accomodate the Oddesey and Lek's Kelisa. Ayah's blue Kelisa always parked outside the gate. His favorite spot.
We've enuf space for the permanent members of the house. Ayah, Mak, Lek, Bibi and the 4 sons. We've always can accomodate visitors who frequent our house all year round. Since Mak is not too crazy about cooking, the little kitchen is enuf.
And we do get along well with the neighbours along the road. That's important.

Why we feel we need to upgrade ?
1) To get separate bathroom for Lek's room and the boys's room. The boys are getting bigger by the day.
2) To hv 2 rooms downstairs for elderly visit, Eyang and those in the same time zone.
3) To hv enuf space for all the 3 cars inside the gate.
4) To hv enuf room/space for our year round visitors. We do welcome our visitors and our intention is to hv them as comfy as possible while visiting.
5) To hv more land for Eyang's and Bibi's green fingers.
6) To hv more space for future additional sons and daughters.
7) dan lain-lain .

BUT Ayah prefer to stay put at BJ and the house price at BJ is CRAZILY EXPENSIVE !
If given choice Mak want to get an apartment a pentsuite or something closer to Sect7 so we do not hv to travel a distance to make our frequent visit to Azfar. That will cost us only a fraction comparatively with the price of the new house in BJ (with the 3369 sq feet built up and 3960 land area).

Uhhh fenin kefala. Let's just see how the loan processing goes and if any interesting deal come out with this current house. If they give us 95% loan - TROPIKA1 Tiang Seri !!!! we are coming to you :) If they give us merely 80% ... we'll stay put at Jln Kubah.

Or may be we should go for umrah first and later we won't feel too guilty if we're to "commit suicide" by buying the TROPIKA ...

Wanna consider TTDI Jaya SemiD for 600k? 2 1/2 storey....but so near to the floded sungai la

the hse we hv our "eye" on is RM740K ++ ... TTDI Jaya SemiD mayang sari was one of our consideration but actually the price/sq ft is abt the same - approx RM460K for 2460 sq ft built up and YES the sungai ... too high risk ! I was taught to look into the /unit price rather than the total cost. Oh well ... a home's value depend more than just the price tag kan !

tropika tu kat BJ jugak ke?

Cherry said...

yes maam Fami ... fm the road parallel to yr house tu, you go all the way down kan, pastu ada roundabout. if you turn left, i think you are exiting BJ. if you go straight tu naik atas sikit tu area Tropika 1,2 and 3 ... ha ha ha angan-angan nya saja nak pindah rumah besor sikit, anak makin besor - makin ramai ... tak pe lah syukur apa yg ada :)

Ninuk...if you are fenin kefala now, think what i'd feel in about 5-6 years time (and 2-3 kids added, hopefully). My decision is based solely on the distance, and my motto at the moment is deal with it when the time comes. Luckily for guests, we have Armada, Hilton in just walking distance!
