new launches confirm will be higher in prices.

bargains maybe from subsale, but hor entry cost much more higher.

so 300k property, you need at least 50k cash standy.

new Car Price e.g Proton Saga 1.6 also selling 46k liao....car price up, new property price sure up also, right...kekeke

Sori....im newbie......its properties reli go down??? worldwide??? can share where? when? after going down it wil be going up back rite jus matter of time????

Buy now if u can especially for own stay. RM300 vs RM270 still not far apart, recommend buy!

No matter how the BN sure win lah.....but wt/wtout majority oni....

when property price drop, for the people who are waiting for it to drop will have following but not limited to the following:
1. economy so bad that the person is out of job, afraid of the uncertainty, clinging so badly to his cash and didnt buy eventually until the economy become good again and property price go up again.
2. wait for property price drop further, because if i buy now and it continue to drop, will rugi...wait and wait and wait...

developer is running a business, the purpose of business is to make money (duh?!). flippers are also treating their flipping game as a business. they are solely responsible for their business risk. whether they get into trouble or become freaking rich, the consequence belong to them and only them.

mid income people always lose, always be the most suffering. the rich and government are both sucking them together. in case anyone has not recognize that, yes, it is a fact. mid income people choose to stay in a comfort environment, the consequence is always not enough money and time.

rich people are always making more and more money, where do u think the money come from? answer, middle class

the question should not limited to the price of the prop, but the "willing" to buy the piece of prop...even drop below RM400k also still not buyer.. this case could happen.. who know.    2012 -2016 the world economic will be uncertain... directionless.. Fuel hike is main concern...

I view rent is not a bad idea after all.
Personally I don't see why must buy a house. My priority is a place that call home, that's enough.
Whether I own, I rent is always secondary.
Yes, owning is the best, but it is not a must for me.

The main priority is the property can be sold or not.
There are properties sitting there, waiting 6 months, 1 year, some even more, there is no buyer turn out.
The most fear is no buyer aka some properties that little buyers show interest, even your slash price 10%, 20%.
Some properties especially wrong location shoplots, you can find zero buyer one.

Gov doesn't have extra money when cutting subsidy, it reduces the deficit, so that the financial is more manageable and sustainable.
It is not the like cut subsidy then gov has extra few billions.

I live in a rent house for >25 years. 

Some landlord are good, some are not, so it depends.

Rent, means you have no high commitment, can have extra cashflow doing others things.

Gov budget is already in deficit, reduce subsidy means reduce deficit, which in turn gov doesn't need to borrow to fund the deficit.
It just mean no further borrowing needed, it doesn't mean there is more money popping up. 

Personal update, as promised.  Family finally confirmed buying a home. going through paper work now.  My name is not in it.  Objective achieved, more living space for myself, and future family.  I'm not a speculator.

i see some people who were bullish about property market have given in and bought one?

yr new prop will become subsale on VP..he he

Oh sorry I was referring to after the crash. Now property in the US is so attractive even ppl in Malaysia can call it cheap 

Personally, I think some new launches are simply ridiculous, you're better of buying subsale. For those who need a home, please buy something reasonable with your money, don't buy that 300k+ studio for your home as you can probably buy a proper condo for that money. I hope some developers will launch reasonably priced condos but so far, hardly any seems to be doing so....

in sg, sh, hk, taiwan, korea...many low to mid income ppl eg working class, blue or white collar r ok to live in smaller, older apt, they know that the high end condo, landed prop r for the rich and expatriates. compare to kl, everyone want to live in new condo, landed prop (not old single storey but new DSL or SD, near city etc..some even want to buy new prop just after graduate. they feel shame if they live in old apartments. they are so many affordable old apartment out there but mostly rented to foreigners, blue collars etc. locals always think that they are higher status adn refuse to stay with the so called "low class ppl". look at sg, more than 80% citizen are living in HDB flat. they dun feel shame to stay together with blue collars workers, low income earners etc. wat's wrong with young msian??
