perhaps this thread title should be "Are properties prices going to rise?"

You are wrong. the average salary for fresh grad in v2 is still 2k or less.....

for government servant, average is around 2.6k including allowances

yup...the increment is rather low
for private, it depends on the company u r working for and ur position

what does it mean? means a lot of people now go for secondary market instead of new launch as new launch is more expensive nowadays...

so if you plan to buy good subsales property, then act fast before grasp by others.

hit an all-time high in traffic with over 750,000 property hunters visiting its property website last month.

Not too sure how they came out with the number? counting hits? if yes i think i contributed many many hits to the website, check out properties at different price range, different location everyday at least 2 times. If a search is counted as 1 hit, or if from one page to another also counted, than definetely >100 hits a day by me alone

no choice, monitor prices so must work hard

I m more concern about the below point from the acticle... no matter u owner prop (if u hvn't marrige) or dun own any, ur next generation will be suffering directly or indirectly...
養孩子等于判坐牢

加國人對未來沒安全感，生活艱難。這樣的局面，有人指責政府，認為應該趁情況還未到達極端時，出手干預。也有人說，由于家庭負債快速上升，使市場變得非常脆弱。

一名民眾感慨地說：“從前家里只有我爸一人上班，我們一樣有房有車，吃的用的都便宜，日子過得不錯。”

“可到了我們這一代，多數家庭都是雙親工作，孩子最多生兩個，日子過得緊繃，房價漲、地稅漲、大學費用漲、物價漲。”

她指出，現在總算熬出頭，可女兒結婚后不準備要孩子，兒子寧願單身也不肯結婚，說成家費用太高，養孩子等于判刑坐監獄。

Agreed, a lot of my office mate talk about property bubble, hoping housing price will drop when its pop. But imo the house value will remain the same , it just how willing seller to drop their price(subsale), for new launch you can expect smaller builtup but the price per sqft will remain the same. But frankly speaking i do not feel any effect of property bubble right now only effect of  ltv 70%     .

finally 100% loan has arrived

this is the current government empty talk, look at the bubble they blowing, and continue blowing.. (whn a person start lying, they need another lie to cover the previous lie, so they keep coming out this and that "scheme"s...)
that is the trick to win the younsters votes of coming election.
do u think still got developer willing to build a house/apartment under 220k?

how to build, the land was contaminated. 

ya, if gomen willing to help the young, why not provide fit rate at 4% for the loan... to something like the loan for edu. 

And not just the developer and bank to untung gila... 

There are many empty units everywhere in KL. Most are owned by ppl waiting for capital gains. If u want an example, go visit Plaza TTDI condo and see how many units are occupied. Most are already sold but currently empty waiting for capital gains.

（2011-03-30）

● 戴庆成 香港报道
　　被外界誉为“李超人”的李嘉诚，昨天一如既往，不改其健谈本色，对投资香港楼市者指点迷津。

　　长和系主席李嘉诚表示，如果市民购买住宅用作自住，是绝对没有错，因为通胀未来一定会继续出现，也会更加严重。

　　李嘉诚昨日在长和系业绩记者会上表示，目前楼市的二手市场向好，香港市民对楼市仍然有需求，相信通胀将会来临，若市民有足够资金，有三成至四成的楼价作为首期，买单位自住最合适。　　他指出，在过去几十年，即使最高价时买入单位，以现时计算仍然是便宜。
