According to news announced by the developer, there is a spontaneous balloting after first block of Damansara Foresta sold out.
"By the second day, all the units in Block 1 were gone. People then waited from noon to 6.30pm for the price list of the second tower to go up," said developer Land and General Berhad's head of sales and marketing, Lim Kok Yee. "We had no choice but to open up the second tower for sales and to conduct balloting so that people could pick their units. Sales for the second tower have now touched 80%."

The sales for New Sentral of Bangi is surprisingly good too. However, it could be a different crowd.
"I'm proud to share that we are 90% sold and most of our buyers are actually end users, investors and businessmen who have bought the shops for their own use," said Andaman Property Management's head of sales and marketing, Datuk Vincent Tiew at the launch.
"Jakel [Trading] bought 19 shoplots from us where they will consolidate a very big textile city… We also have a lot of buyers who are currently shop owners and retailers in Masjid India, as well as some existing businesses in Bangi"
Worth noting is how the New Sentral of Bangi came about:

And since this was the last piece of land to be developed here, the state government said, 'We must make this happen. We want Bangi Walk to be successful and we want to adopt this as the central [business district].'"

| A group of young estate agents were sanguine about this project however and personally invested in a few properties with the intention to resell at a higher price. "We were told the developer will raise prices for the next block by 10% to 20%," said one of the group. They were also encouraged by a 2% early bird discount, and other easy-entry incentives, including a developer interest bearing scheme (DIBS). |

One seasoned investor who held back from purchasing a unit expressed surprise at the number of young attendants at the preview. "The amount of loan you would need to take would be about RM700,000. And if you repaid within 25 years, that's still RM3,800 to pay every month," he said, pointing to the repayment table given out by one of the partner banks.
"How many would be able to afford that, once they've paid off the rest of their outgoings, and what if one member of the couple lost their job?" You would also need to consider the monthly maintenance charges, which have been cited as RM0.25 per sq ft. |
