Is Owning a Landed House just a fantasy now?
Me and my girl are getting married this year. Both are working with a 3k+ salary in Selangor. We don't plan to be consumed by FOMO and just buy a house literally after our marriage.
But just looking at the current market here, all we can afford is a condo unit (mainly Rumah Selangor). All current landed options are either overpriced (IMO) or just so small.
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with living in a condo even despite hearing horror stories from co-workers about management, lift traffic, maintenance, etc. But we would've preferred to have our own small plot of land for us to live and call home. Where we can renovate without worries of management and such.
We did try to look at subsales around here but most of them require so much work to do. Kitchen needs cleaning, roofing needs fixing, toilet, by Allah's 99 names, I don't even know what the previous owners or renters did to them.
Anyways, that's just my thoughts on the current house market. Just stuck on the idea whether we can even afford a landed anymore.
