if ppl can't even afford 10%, doesn't that means either the propert prices already too high, or the buyers are too leveraged?
if subsales market is stagnant, who will buy from those flippers after VP?
so looks like there is going to be a price adjustment, or it s gonna be a long long holding game.

Foreigners from Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Middle east and Africa. Malaysian property is still very cheap. Only problem is that local pay is too low.

that is a very big gamble.. official statistic showed only 2% property in Malaysia are owned by foreigners. in kl and in probably 10 to 20% only.
if locals demand is not in there, the sector will not be sustainable.
furthermore, if foreign demand is so strong, klcc area properties would not have experienced a price slump like now.

dangerous la.

foreigner will just "fire sell supper cheap" when there is a crash.

Just see what it does to dubai hot money during 2007-2008

So, both ways also die haha then how a?

Untapped market. Foreigners have not yet realized this hidden gem and huge potential gain for our properties yet.

Exhaust of local buyers, we flip to foreigners. Afterall they need to park their money as well right? Which other place is better to park their money than Malaysian properties? Experts also say we will outperform Hong Kong property prices by 2020. With all the infrastructures in placed, we will attract a lot more FDI into our country, further push up the property prices.

warren buffett said invest in America's property is much much better than throw money in Malaysia. haha.

Donal trump has make the same comment as well...

True or not? Didn't know Malaysian property market also caught their attention.
Some say put in FD is like flushing money down the toilet as Federal Reserve keep on printing. your RM100k will be worth only RM50k few years down the road.

Investment options are not limited to FD and properties. Doesnt always have to be FD vs Property, and each option also has its own merit depending on the situation. Now the interest rate is low, but that doesnt mean it's going to stay low forever.

In the event of hyper-inflation, yeah, 100k today worth 50k in few years time. But when that happen, the profit of 100k from properties also worth 50k only.. or worse, the price increase is lower than FD rates.. always can go both ways.

Ask the Japanese whether property will ALWAYS goes up or not.
History is a good teacher, but we are bad students.

Japan properties price is way higher than ours xxxxxxxxxxxlol even though it drops.

that's why they japanese invest in global market include msia.

ps - history is a good teacher you're right. That's why we should invest more properties in msia.

I think it is a unique situation in Malaysia only.
These buyers will all snap up new launches even at ridiculous prices but nobody seems interested in subsale.
I forsee a situation where newlaunch will be priced higher and higher while subsale prices will fall.
Until it reach a gap so wide between newlaunch and subsale that the average blind and gungho investors start moderating their buying of new launched properties

Products are different from 3 years ago in term of designs, material quality, facade, facilities, and so on.

Coordinate is also different

Lol chill. The world is changing, everyday.

No doubt... the Gen Y is always demanding for new products. Whether it is the latest Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini or the latest Duplex SOFO.

My generation of "Gen Y version 2" (below 25 y/o) is even worst.

I highly doubt a 400k duplex and a Galaxy s3 is the same thing.

Disagree.

Malaysia property golden year is now but almost end.....

trying to sell my house now but so far seems difficult, even though fully furnished so buyers can save a lot on cash compared to properties such as Kinrara Residence nearby

for 1m property, new only need to pay downpayment for 50k cash
subsale fully furnished need to pay 100k down, legal fees, mot, maybe total 50k, total 150k cash
subsale unfurnished need to add another 100k for furnishing, total 250k cash

Market need to soften or stagnant or drop a bit for a while, keep the momentum for next wave.

btw, I more opt for mid to long term, for rental income, no so on flipping.

For Iskandar, the bull run has only recently started. It should last another 2-3 years if there is no government intervention

Now is 3 years after your response, it happen?? those who invest in 2011 already made handsome ROI.
