I lived in HK for 3-4 years.

I find it funny when ppl tried to compare HK prop with bolehland....2 diff worlds and like durian vs apple

40% deposit may not be fully effective to curb hot speculation....many loopholes (ie SOHOs) to go around this ruling. Developers and bankers are working closely to bypass this for common commercial objectives.

The most effective is stopping DIBS scheme and introduce higher RPGT......but doubt govt will use this drastic measure as prices may drop like a rock!!

Affordability index (HK props attracted international buyers due to its status as regional financial centre). Easy to subsale in HK (within 1 week) and not like Msia
Population growth (many rich mainland chinese sending children at HK schools and need accomodation),
Controlled supply (HK govt has a better planning to release land banks...unlike bolehland with poor prop supply vs demand)
Lower prop vacancy rate due to controlled supply as mentioned above
Low cost of fund (very low BLR) plus depreciation of HK dollar make prop investment a logical choice
Property transactions are fast/efficient and transacted prices are transparent in the govt website for reference

many many more.......so cannot compare la....

tough time ahead very soon in MY.....just received latest insider info that 1 major foreign bank decided to cutback property loan to only 60%-70% financing regardless of commercial, residential, etc. This also applicable to 1st property owner unless falls under RM220k residential prop. Heard other local banks are likely to follow suit .....

Seems the bank has identified some big risk is coming very soon in the horizon......

those still gangho to BBB, better check with your banker first before making any commitment......

i like this chart......i think MY prop is about to enter into the last leg of the bull run before reaching the plateau unless this is brought forward by an event eg political instability.

Banks tightening credit is the beginning....keep a close watch on the coming budget announcement in Oct and next GE.

low accupancy or high vacancy rate is a fact that new condo buyers shld not take it lightly....this phenomenon not just limited in KLCC but spreading across KV.

is average 50-60% a good indicator for ppl to invest their hard earned money in condo?

is the condo occupancy trend going up or down...you shld know better

like i said below....pls continue your salesman talk as i am benefitting from it

Affordability index is a good indicator used in key mkts like HK, SG and Aust.....sadly MY mkt yet to reach that status

the absence of prop indicators eg affordability index, median price, vacancy indec, etc serve good opportunity for some vested parties to dupe newbie investors.....sedih tapi benar!

i am waiting for the right time to dispose and invest....every exit shld follow immediately with another entry....this is my investment rule.

you are no diff with SAs when you keep promoting new devs....

new dev like PJ Icon City is 'good' entry cost, izzit? TMS including me will love ppl like you....

sadly, my pocket is not deep enuff to buy Icon City.....

kh, i really tabik spring your continued optimism and bullish on prop mkt despite i am not aligned with you on this.

Btw, continue to share the first hand info on prop devp....i likey
