Marketing strategy and sales tactics apply to all kinds of products, although I dun like developer to goreng, but this is their rights to do so, dun blame developer, they are not pointing a gun at you to buy their products, willing buyers willing sellers, free mkt.., dun forget, those big guns are all public listed firms, profit oriented is the ultimate goal.

It is nothing wrong with the developer pricing higher and higher for each phase, so long the property worth it, then grasp it, and vice versa just leave it!! Buyer must do some research b4 decide to buy...if not, renting isn't a bad option still while waiting for the price to drop

I hv 2 wishes :-
1. "Hoping" the price drop
2. Increase my earning

I think the later one is within my control, I hv 2 jobs (looking for 3rd part time) (it is quite normal in HK, Taiwan and China now)

Yr $$ is in yr pocket, why do you want to buy at a higher price.
Name me which projects are fully sold prior the the official launching..I know one Magna Prima One Jalil
Got chance to buylah, not a good excuse

I doubt you can get 350K, many iproperty listings are not up-to-date, I did found some 1-2 yr old advertisement are still there, dun look at the posting date, it might not accurate as iproperty operator will renew those old listing every 2-3 mths, so better cal up the agent to verify..

If price drop further to 250K after bought 350K, then rugi 100K lah, he..he

Any idea what is co-relation between oil price and property price? Looks like oil price up, inflation rate for general goods sure up, how bout real estate? Anyone can answer pls

we are living in a selfish & greedy world
sometimes I dun really understand, I know many people are complaining the rise in goods and property price, but at the same time, dun want to change their habit and life style, as what the article mentioned, many spend vacation travelling "every year", seems like a basic needs
At least by savings a little bit more by not travelling and spending unnecessary items so often, I think Malaysia is still a good country to stay, above average

How to believe in local newspaper's article, they are the BN arm to spread misleading news, all bullshit. Better believe in you yourself, till to-date, the gomen has no idea how to increase household income.
the property price will be decided by open free mkt, demand and supply and the amt of speculators in the mkt, compare to other developed countries, M'sia's speculators are peanut. However also due to that, our property price are more fragile and unstable

Wat kind of measurement is this? Doesn't helplah....it will kill the property sector, end up kill the whole economy. Dun forget many gomens are reluctant to interrupt the property mkt b'coz it forms the back bone of the economy, 203 businesses are direct & indirectly related to property sector, if property price drop sharply in a particular country, unemployment rate will shoot up and gomen will be forced to step down

the cut down will proceed if majority cannot afffort. i think banking sector will be hurt the most, majority ppl will be happy, me too.

Yeah, let's go to Bahrain to buy properties

In this country, except no natural disaster, anything else is certain? If we learn to take the risk, study it properly then we can manage it well

Politician hold the most speculative real estate in hand, you might be surprise a very small post politician could have own / speculate > 50 pieces properties amounting to 10 mil - 100 mil, wat about those top position?
RPGT would affect them the most, do you think they will implement it? Not likely
I personally feels that it is the best way to tap price hike so far..

This bubble talk tread will go on and go on for the next 50 years, believe me...
Developers "have" to build new hse / condo / shops / retails lot / malls / factories, otherwise they kenot survive, so the number of houses in urban area will keep increasing and the density is rising too, the supply of residential properties is to cope with the migrants fr rural area to urban city, we dun hv a real statistic (like in China) to show how great is the migration, thus it is quite hard to judge whether it is over supply or vice versa

but I am pretty sure Malaysia's urbanization is very serious, is based on 4 reasons :-
1. Our gomen has no ability to develop rural or sub-urban areas (it has been proved since independent)
2. Majority young Chinese are going to 3 cities 1. Penang Island 2. KV 3. Singapore
3. No Bullet train (forever no I think), a complete transportation system like bullet train is a way to divert the heavy population (Japan people stay 200KM++ away fr work place, but they need 1 hr++ bullet train time)
4. Job opportunities mostly in urban area

p/s : our housing statistic announcement every year tak boleh pakai punya

It is good to attend some property talks but dun over react to it, Malaysia is called the Kingdom of Direct Selling, in this boleh land really produces world top class goring kaki...
Sometimes those gurus are giving misleading teaching, instead of educate investors to invest, it might end up put them in hell. Property investment involve huge amt, must be conducted in a proper manner, a miss judgement would end with lifetime suffering

Sign of bubble....
Remember 1994 when untie in wet mkt ask you to invest share mkt...
And now, I even heard secondary school students talk bout property investment, be careful be careful
And my old college mate just suddenly change her job fr branding manager & become property guru...bubble is in the creation

Urbanization no way back.
Only those who were born 1930-1975 may think of going back to kampung when getting very old, like me a kampung boy will go back one day
those youngsters born in the city, no way, they will claim no Paparich & Mid Valley in Kampung, how to survive

He..he sounds very familiar, when US crisis, some people gave same advise

"scarcity in land"

It is rather boring to discuss when is property bubble while the price keeps increasing, let's start a new tread "how much more property price to go up before the bubble happen?" Property guru Gavin said mkt correction (bubble) in 2015, which means 4 years to go, assuming 5%（inflation rate) each yr, Gavin predicted at least 20% rooms to grow, let's see

Looks like the Tsunami impact is worse than 911 attack, jialat already...

You are not alone here, try to book cheap AA cheap ticket to S'pore, China, HK or Taiwan, do a simple survey, I think you will feel relief, my friend MBA work and married in Taiwan (Taipei), wife degree working too, say 40 yrs ++ only dare to dream of a small apt, never in his mind of owning a landed property, unless Malaysia going backward like Myanmar, otherwise we are getting closer to these countries lifestyle & thinking
p/s : When in Taipei, I saw a few very pretty girls selling used goods at the road side (late nite), they are working 7 days (1-2 extra part time job) to earn money, and we, Malaysian youngsters spend weekend in TGV & KaraOK perhaps....
