JLW’s reported sales rate of new housing launches in the Klang Valley inched up to 80% in 2Q11 (78% in 1Q11). Sales rate for condos rose to 80% in 2Q11, despite having the highest number of launched units per quarter since 2000.
Good demand momentum should maintain as many buyers are owner-occupiers and there is genuine demand for houses. We expect the strong sales rate to continue in 3Q11.
