Question 2. 3 Bedroom , newly fully furnished , Sat TV and internet included , cedar walk in closet in the master - moderen kitchen with oven and built ins - Changning District Fahuazhen Liu - 7300 rmb?
Please include your apartment type, compound name and floor size. Describing the interiors and furniture is insufficient to conclude whether or not it is overpriced.
Question 1. Of course it's not overpriced in comparison to other flats in that residence. That just shows the entire residence is overpriced.
Question 2. Excuse me? I think it says it all. shanghaijim who posted that is living there, and he gave more than enough information to show that flat is far from overpriced. He's not paying for the name of the compound and the floor he's living on. He's paying for the appartement in a good area. Who cares how the building looks from the outside?
Guy 1: Hey man, I keep on staring at my awesome looking building all day long. So cool!!!
Guy 2: What do you pay for the appartement?
Guy 1: Hey, look at that building. And the residence name is also awesome. And I live on a high floor dude. So it's not overpriced.
Guy 2: If your happy by making someone very rich for no justified reason, go ahead!
Often, the shell around something says nothing at all about the inside. To each his/her own. But 18000 for a 89 sqm appartement sounds terribly overpriced. Even if the taps are made out of pure gold, one should not pay such a price for that. After all, the water that comes out of those taps is of the same quality as anywhere else in Shanghai.
