热盘行情：Verde 公寓，Ara Damansara

Oct 11

成交价：RM890,000 (每平方尺RM643) 交易推手: 来自Hartamas Real Estate的 Belle Low (REN 06824) (012-503 5111) 成交日: 2016年8月卖点：房子面向东，1,383平方尺提供橱柜，冷气机和热水器 3间卧房及2间浴室设施：健身房、两层楼的多功能室、开放式按摩浴池、烧烤区和高尔夫练习场 Verde @ Ara Damansara 是由Villamas Group of Companies所发展的高级公寓。根据Hartamas Real Estate 的Belle Low，买家是一对夫妇，买下这个单位用作自住，而卖家则是在Verde拥有数个单位的投资者。 Low 说：“卖家在拿到新单位钥匙后的一周内，就将它卖出了。” 由于大多数的第一手买家都是投资者，因而导致很多单位的要价都处于RM900,000或以上水平。但是，这项交易的售价却是RM890,000。她解释：“这是这名卖家的作法，他从来都不把售价开得很高。当每个人都要价RM900,000或以上，他只要把价格降低一点，就可在一周内将单位售出。” Low认为，对卖家来说，这是一项合理的交易，因为成交价低于目前市场叫价。她说：“根据我的观察，因为发展商提供的优惠，让很多投资者都以最低的前期付款就购下了这里的单位。但是，在这行情不太好的情况下，假如他们没有足够的能力，他们或许会降低售价。” TheEdgeProperty.
