热盘行情：隆市Bukit Bintang的Pavillion Residences
成交价：RM410万（约每平方尺RM1,704） 交易推手：来自Maxland Real Estate Agency 的Abby Chew （PEA1804, 012-201 0846） 成交日期：2018年3月 卖点： ● 2,405平方尺 ● 有期地契 ● 高楼层吉隆坡城中城美景一览无遗 ● 3+1睡房与四间浴室 ● 位于高楼层 ● 全装潢单位附电器 位于吉隆坡Bukit Bintang购物商圈一带的Pavillion Residences，毗邻各知名购物商场如Starhill Gallery以及Lot 10。 该豪华公寓建有两栋分别为43层与50层楼，一共有368个单位，单位面积介于1,057至6,689平方尺。公寓内的设施包括24小时保安、健身房、泳池、游乐场以及网球场。 促成这宗交易的Abby Chew表示，卖家为外国人，当时买下这个单位为了投资，而买家则是购屋自居。 卖家原本要价RM430万，但等候多时依然没有买家，过后下调售价至RM410万后终于吸引买家。 她说:：“买家原本计划在Pavillion Residences寻找一间较小面积的公寓，但这个单位状况良好且全装潢，加上一览无遗的隆市美景，而且卖家愿意调整售价，因此决定买下这个单位。” Pavillion Residences高楼层单位市价介于每平方尺RM1,700至RM1,800之间，低楼层（无吉隆坡全景）单位价格则为每平方尺RM1,600左右。 尽管目前为淡市，但Chew表示依然有不少买家询问售价并有意购买，目前的价格已处阻力水平，由于大部分业主经济能力不错，因此，不会有贱价脱售的情况出现。 根据EdgeProp.
