Buying a Property – How to interpret developer’s offer

    If you walk into a developer sales gallery, and  the sales staff told you the price is RM 450 psf for a soon-to-be-launched condo project, with RM 50k upfront rebate and another RM 20k interest rebate to be given at at 50% and 100% disbursement stages, how would you interpret this offer?

    The below is based on a real case scenario as I attended a sales launch last Saturday (11 May 2015)

    Example – Duck or rabbit in the image below? same_data_different_interpretation_duck_rabbit

    Scenario 1

     

    Indicated unit price = RM (450 x 1,161) = RM 522,450 After Rm 50k rebate, SPA actual unit price = RM 472,450 Scenario 1 TGT 2

    Scenario 2

     

    Indicated unit price = RM [(450 x 1,161) + 50,000 + 20,000] = RM 592,450 Scenario 2 TGT 2 Home loan calculator tool above from Loanstreet.com.my

    The Effect of Difference in Intepretation..

    #1 Downpayment

    RM 52,245 vs RM 59,245 –> Difference of RM 7,000

    #2 Monthly installment

    RM 2,196 vs RM 2,490 –> Difference of RM 294

    #3 SPA Agreement Costs

    RM 13,780 vs RM 16,370 –> Difference of RM 2,590

    #4 Loan Documentation Costs

    RM 6,092 vs RM 6,848 –> Difference of RM 756
