The following information was published by penangpropertytalk.com last week. In fact it has continuously publish many articles on Penang’s affordable homes. This is just to ensure more Penangites who qualify can benefit from it. The best part is that many people assume medium cost affordable homes are just high priced flats. Yes, even some bankers think so. Some still do not know where these affordable homes are. Some assume that they are only in the mainland due to the price which is not true at all.
