Real Estate February 20th, 2010

The home of the basic needs that need to be filled every person
to more practical activities. Simple type of housing affordable mortgages, or cheap subsidized apartments can be an option. If still not able to buy a house, the choice to return to: renting an apartment, or rent housing. But which is more efficient?
These options basically depends on the priority needs of each person. Nini Candra, claiming interested in buying one unit of subsidized apartments in the area south of Jakarta. Although located on the main road often experience congestion, women who met at the sight of Compass Female show apartment units in this choice does not feel constrained by location.
“Still there are practical considerations, because the location of the apartment near the husband’s business and my job is very mobile in the region south and west of Jakarta. So still close to the residence,” he explained.
Another case with Muhammad Yunus. He claimed to compare the residence time in the apartment or house rental pavilion type. According to live in an apartment is more practical, awake privacy, and security guaranteed.
“Rental value of the pavilion are cheaper, 1 million-per-month, while the rent at that time 11 million per six months building complete with security and privacy not available from other choices,” explains Jonah, who lived in an apartment Mediterranean Garden Residence in 2006 until 2007.
If the general election in an apartment is that the strategic location factor, why are many apartments that stood in the satellite cities such as Depok, Bekasi, and analytical ability?
For some people, the price factor into consideration. The apartments are located in suburbs like this does offer rents that are cheaper than in the center of town. About the location could not be the case, though still have the city traffic. Nonetheless still cheaper than home loans with a location that is also far from the city, for example.
There playroom
For families who have children, the apartment seems less an option. Chrisna Suharto, for example. The man who worked as a marketing trainer at this automotive company, chose to buy a house because the concept is more for families. “If the house is a large area for gardening, kids also have a place to play,” he said.
As an investment, the house is also more profitable. While virtually flat superior only in terms of strategic location, there is no other advantages. For operational costs, residents of the apartment will be subject to service charge approximately Rp 1.5 million each month. Compare with living in the operational costs per month could be set up to USD 700 thousand. Because of that, the man who now lives in Bintaro the area is even planning to buy one unit of the house again.
After all, building houses and apartments, both subsidized or not-they’re everywhere, be a sign that the market is still there. Just choose the most suitable to your character, house or apartment?
