Amara: what to weigh before you decide

Is the price fair?

Prices run from RM 574,200 to RM 1,073,500, from about RM 912 per sq ft. With no nearby sale records, the comparison is with new projects:

ProjectFromPrice per sq ftBuilt-upUnitsCompletion
Amara ResidencesRM 574,200from about RM 912655 to 1,272 sq ft412Expected Q4 2028
ARRA ResidencesRM 554,000from about RM 769721 to 1,285 sq ft1,275Expected 2030
Luminar ResidenceRM 356,000about RM 700549 to 1,389 sq ft751Target Q4 2029

ARRA, about 240 m away and by the same group, starts about RM 143 lower per sq ft (RM 912 less RM 769) and is closer to the LRT.

Amara's higher price buys three things: about a third as many homes as ARRA, a shorter walk to the mall, and completion more than a year earlier. ARRA's 2-bedroom also gets only 1 car park; every Amara unit gets 2. If price per sq ft and the LRT matter most, ARRA fits better. Choose Amara only if fewer neighbours and car parks matter more.

What it costs each month

The maintenance fee is RM 0.38 per sq ft, already including the sinking fund (RM 0.35 plus 10%), so size × RM 0.38:

  • 934 sq ft 3-bedroom: about RM 355 a month
  • 1,112 sq ft 4-bedroom: about RM 423
  • 1,272 sq ft 4-bedroom: about RM 483

Quit rent and assessment tax come on top. On 1,000 sq ft, Amara is about RM 380 a month and ARRA next door about RM 330. Note: water and electricity are at commercial rates, though owners may apply to convert electricity to the residential rate.

Can foreigners buy?

Foreign buyers in Selangor must pay at least RM 2,000,000 (strata residential only, with consent from the land authority). Amara tops out at RM 1,073,500, all below that, so confirm with the developer first.

Four things to check at the viewing

  1. Sizes include accessory area: the 934 sq ft Type B is 880 sq ft of main parcel plus 54 sq ft. Ask where that is.
  2. The bridge to ARRA's retail floor is still planned. Ask when it will be built.
  3. BIG Grocer and the 9 shop lots are kept by the developer for leasing. Ask whether the grocer is confirmed.
  4. Whether your unit has 2 or 3 car parks, and how many air-conditioners.
