Dun judge too early, keep yr statement for 3 years, look back in 2014, you may be wrong.
At least I know during 2008 US Crisis, those blur blur idiots who listened to sales agent and park theirs' money in property are laughing all the way to the bank now....
Unlike stock mkt, Real Estate is bout dealing with tangible goods, the supply of raw materials and land is tend to diminish and price / cost of goods is likely to be on upward trend...
IMO the only factor that will cause property price to drop is the loosen of bank loan approval, over leveraging is a risky move. Generally I feel that Malaysia banks are still very conservative and "kiasi", this helps to cool the mkt down a bit. My China engineer friend (salary RMB15K) can purchase 4 units of apt worth RMB 5.8 mil back in 2007 (maximum loan), they can factor in the future rental income into theirs' "current" salary (unbelievable!)!
Hard to imagine if this happen in bolehland, the recent China mkt's correction is largely due to aggressive lending by financial institutions

read back also no point since there's no similarity in situation of debt and salary. Probably you should read property crash in other country.

Good good!
The most critical part of investment is not how much gain that one could make fr a single investment, but more of avoiding huge loss during downtime, smart investor knows how to minimize his risk (cut loss) during bearish and ride on mkt uptrend to make his kill.
Stock analyst depends on historical data to plot technical chart in order to assist future prediction, if you dun learn fr past experience, how are you going to hv right forecast of the future? 
P/s : I read a lot of mkt crash news

silly question ar... if everyone "Holding Power" strong as many here reported either cash rich or properties rich, where got properties crash hor? 

u mean subsale or new project? new project like baju @ pandan jaya, i heard sell like hot cakes wo.

ic, which area? it is near town one or further up like cyberjaya?

The more people talk about price can crash, the chance of it crash become low.

The crash often come when most people cannot forsee it.

This is always repeating and proven.

Because when more people wary or cautious crash may around the corner, it means those people are out of excessive speculation.
It is always excessive speculation that causing the bubble and lead to crash afterwards.

I will deeply worry if no one talk about crash, and everyone said BBB.

What so fear about crash?
Stock market, property market did crash many many time before, not the first time already.
People talk about crash until bored already, so mark your word so that become Malaysia version of Peter Schiff or Dr. Doom?  
As said before or what I posted earlier, one day, you will be right.

When subprime exploded and financial crisis unfolded, people said "died liao", going to be deflation and economy recession for many many years,
yet after massive stimulus package around the globe, for the period form 2009-2010-early 2011, factories order flooding in until not enough man-power to cope the order.
The one believed the dooms day coming during the crisis, retrench all the workers, sell factories, due to fear of dooms day, were the biggest losers.

2012 marks the end of the world according to the Mayan calander. Property price will be cheaper after that =)

strategy remain the same(location, location, location), only greedy flipper overlook it jer

For me,
better come fast since all die together, less worry get old
Die is least of my worry, the longer we live, the more problem we face

Please remember, this may not have been bought by a property investor. In fact I don't think so. If its for own stay, the buyer could be motivated for a number of reasons - near other family, or lots of cash to throw around or money laundering

I think this is the house that was sold. The description and price is almost the same. But stated as a 2.5 storey.

also by Fiona Fong from Kim Realty and for RM1,780,000.
so from the pictures - worth it or not?

Interesting articles on property slowdown in 2012 on www.starproperty.my
Consensus outlook is slowdown n impact on dibs buyer schemes. So wats ur decisions. Hold if u can. But as more property gets completed by 2013 u may be just too late. This is hard. So wat to do. The smart developers have our money. They know money is king now.

 
I understand I understand 

You mean if..given a same location,
22'x75 single story shd fecth same price = 22'x75 2-storey = 22'x75' 3-storey etc...
Gd thought 

If you dun agree, do you mind to share how to calculate the 2-storey and 3-storey house price if single storey is selling for 100K? 

u dun really understand cash rich ppl. some cash rich ppl cant even count how many prop they owned.

as per the expenses u mentioned, their accountant will show only misc and they dun even bother to look at.  they oni look at big numbers..

stupid analogy reported by BT to link GDP with lipstick sales....

might as well use condom sales as economic indicator....WTF!!

I really worried about greece...Everytime its a different story, sometimes looks going to be ok, yesterday again on the way defaulting..
