  • Analysis

    The launch prices of Palazio range from RM98,888 to RM259,484. Early birds were given 10% discount and further 5% to Bumiputra purchasers. The developer offers Developer Interest Bearing Scheme (DIBS) that only requires buyers to pay RM2,000 as booking fee and nothing else till completion. Even though the price tag of Palazio is indeed affordable and cheap considering the location and the facilities offered, buyers are spoilt for choice as most properties in the area, including a terrace house are priced from just RM200,000 – which is still affordable by many and comprises larger space. There is a concern whether Palazio's supply can meet the demand. This apartment is among the pioneers of serviced apartment. Hence, the market for serviced apartment is untested and it is afraid that JB residents are not into small apartment since landed properties are still cheap. Besides that, this development itself is a high density development with over 1,000 units. And Palazio is just a stone's throw away to Austin Suites. However, there is a report saying that crime rate in JB is on the rise. Hence, there is a niche market for people who have major concern on security. Besides that, student market is a good target market for rental income as Sunway College is just about 10 minutes walking distance from Palazio. With RM100,000 price tag for Palazio, a studio rental of RM700 (that shall deliver positive cash flow) is definitely a steal for students who can own the studio all by themselves.
