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
