if economy so bad till many rakyat out of job
who'll get the most impact ?  a person without a house.. or a flipper/investor with alot of unit ?
if they still dun want to buy props.. then we got nothing to say to him already.. go rent for whole life la.. and stop complaining..

yeah they can wait for props to drop further.. but they have to make up a point like
currently the props is 500k.. it starts to drop to 450k
decide now! how much u're expecting to drop.. let say 420k [lets be realistic] duno expect it to drop till 200k
if let say it drop till 430k.. then next month it jump back to 460k [u still wait meh ? already start climbing]

now 460k u buy.. still untung from 500k initial price what.. if he still wait then..... just tell him to wait lur ~  their fault already what ~

precisely!
I would like to share a joke here:
世上有两件事很难：
            一是把自己的思想装进别人的脑袋。
            二是把别人的钱装进自己的口袋。
            前者成功的叫老师。
            后者成功的叫老板。
            两者都成功了的叫老婆。
            两者都做反的是老公。
            A brief translation for those inter
ested:

            Two things in life that are difficult to achieve:-

            1.    to plant your idea in someone's head

            2.    to plant someone's money in your own pocket.
            o      He who succeeds in the former - we call
teacher; ... Lao Shi

            o      He who succeeds with the latter - we call boss.
..... Lao Ban

            o      The one who succeeds in both - we call wife; .... Lao
Por

            o      The one who fails in both - we call husband.
..... Lao Gong

Cheers...

as i said b4, i dun want my $ become worthless due to inflation, GST etc and it is also reported by EIU today that for next 5 years the inflation will beocme higher not any lower. so the only way for me is to invest in prop. (I dont invest in share coz i dun have time to monitor stock market). it is up to your stretegy to preserve or grow your $. I know my salary will not grow as fast as investments, so i rather to take some calculated risk to invest in good prop. i dun care if the prop will drop or not, i m looking for long term, for retirement.

but i think in long term the prop price will climb to a new height again eventually.. this is quite true for developing economy/country..

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 

from another forum:
it is obvious there are those who believe we'll be in 3-4 for a long time while others believe we're into 5 already. some might even say maresia is so special that such cycles don't apply! one thing for sure - by the time we see 6, we can close this thread.

just advocate prop will drop will u sell your prop now? 

i have a fren in sg who sold thier condo in prime clementi area (near mrt) 2 years ago and rent temporary, hoping in 2-3 years time they can buy at lower price now regreted. The prop they sold earlier hv appreciated i think 50%..

Hi guys, want to ask one question..... Kindly share share your point of view...

Yeah, recently BBB mode and many property price is up.... For those like us who bought property sure happy... As we are in the boat... Just wondering, if keep up-ing....

What is going on to our next generation? They may not afford to buy property further that time..... Chammm......    Unless we can keep some for them... But then how's about "next next generation" leh???? Or may be I think too much jor? 

Our financial system is conservative. Even when the sub-prime crisis hit US back then, how much it had really affected local market? Of course it affected the economy overall but in the prop market, I don't see much effect back then. No cheap sales then and it rebounded swiftly and strongly until now. 
Nope. Won't do that unless I really need the money for emergency.

Your friend shud have invested the profits elsewhere (for eg stock market) to generate more returns. 

You think too much jor... 

heard azizi ali talking in his silver investment workshop today, he is very bearish about property market, he gave advise to sell the properties to realize actual profit, do not buy property for investment now, but on the other hard, he is holing a seminar on property investment in july 

edit: corrected from bullish to bearish (these 2 animals are so confusing sometimes    )

KL is not that bad still compare to Penang island and also during the Asian financial crisis, i remember reading Singapore property prices came down 50% in the papers, a lot of those property speculators pre Asian crisis went bust including 1 of my close friend, from millions to negative.

bro,
i think we all agree on the problem. but to me, the root of the the problem does not lies in the growing property prices but rather the stagnanted salary.
personally, i do not agree with lowering or stagnation of property price. the only way to move forward would be the increase in salary.
if we maintain everything cheapo, we would be a nation not unlike phillipines or indonesia (not jakarta lah but those ulu ulu townships?).
no offense.
cheers!

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??

this old apt is my generation lah (i m not young),, many r ok to live in old condo til now..
of coz some of them hv upgraded to DSL, SD new condo but they have enough saving etc. 
but if u cant afford (esp young graduate) why must buy a new condo, landed prop etc???
There are many below 200k older apt in KL (some r below 50k!) but this new generation r not interested at all. compare to my sh colleagues, many of them are buying/ living in old apt....

same to sh, korea, taiwan but they are so picky as msian..

typical youngster mentality...
as i said they are many affordable old apt out there in KL, despite of many new expensive condo next to it. we can hv 1 mil condo and 50k old apt next to each other. but young ppl always conned by the advertisements, nice brochure, tv, movies and want to live like yuppies.
