If one to wait for whole property mkt collapse, I think susah a bit.

no arguing la.

just Beh Tahan all these politicians talking without own research. i bet he just followed what many people said, malaysian properties are cheap cheap cheap and wanna shiok sendiri linking this to economy growth 

one of the factors affect the local property market = Politic ma..

Q1 have seen some fantastic sales take-up from projects launched.
now is officially Q2 and seems like mood swing in the forum have switch to negative. let's wait these 3 months to see the take up rate of :
1. m-city
2. elements
3. z-residence
4. westgate melati
5. nadayu 28
6. KM1 (this is luanch in april or march ah?)

I believe that most of the people here are talking from the perspective of investors as opposed to buying a house for staying in yourself. Even though I'm one of the leading bears in this forum, I still believe that if you manage to find a property that you like, is conveniently located for you and is affordable to you, you should by all means buy it regardless of the state of the overall market. My only advice is that people buying to stay should consider sub-sale properties in addition to new launches. I don't understand why so many people buying to stay only insist on new launches. New or old, you're likely to spend a fair bit to renovate the unit to your personal liking anyway.

Is new launch cheaper? I dun agree, look at the current Bkt Jalil new condo price, are they priced lower than those existing old condo?

of course the above are taking things too far fetch. but ultimately when economy collapses, when the rich lose, the poor loses more. it's not a fair world and you better believe it!

3. all properties in malaysia held by 'affluent' people and started monopolising rental rates. rental rates starts shooting through the roof.

increase or not is not depend on property prices, but depend on the demand at that location...

at least should be able to cover interest rate... if not the landloard is the most stupid person in the world..  because rather they put $$ into bank..

me! me! me!

I talked to a property agent before, he said KL&PG houses/condos many were bought by Singaporean (or maybe Malaysian who work in SG), looks like property price will only continue to rise!

LOL

if genuine buyers cant afford the current high price, you think they will buy 30% higher? 

jangan mimpi, the price will never drop
