yes.. it's really hard.. many said that the election will be a turning point.. but i doubt it will drop drastically..
anyway, the property prices has gone higher way beyond our salary could afford.

BNM's measurement is to curb investors and speculators but it also had an impact on normal buyers and it's bit too late for BNM to do so. Besides, they also want to avoid ppl unable to afford and hence impose the nett salary approval schemes, which in the end, made us even more un-affordable.

banks giving out loans stricter partly due to policy, and another reason is because the house prices did not match to their estimation.

e.g. a house only worth 500k but selling at 900k. the bank will only willing to loan for 500k then end up buyer have to pay up the remaining including possible legal fees and stamp duty.

nevertheless, our salary is definitely not enough to buy such houses even when combined with your partner's name. unless both ady working for long time and quite wealthy. for youngsters and freshies like us.. wait until when? endless la.. even if i die die go buy one condo, oso dunno can pay onot.. ppl say don't wait, buy now.. but the thing is buy liao oso dunno can service the loan onot.. cham..

agreed. and its near to mrr2 also. 20 min can reach wangsa maju edi

aman puri also same.

trying hard not to follow US's subprime crisis.. but at the same time heading to high property prices like sg and HK but salary no where near them.. haizz..

I seldom use MRR2 so I forgot to mention about it.. LOL..

Talking about Aman Puri, this would be the last place I would go in Kepong.. I used to stay there with my sis and I used to work in KIP but I moved out sometime ago..

Aman Puri is freaking JAM early in the morning, after work, raining?, because of nothing also can jam!!

Don't even need to talk about houses yet, our cars are costing us our homes.. Coming back to the article by Datuk Alan Tong that was published in The Star newspaper..

http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?f...66&sec=business

"However, there are many factors that contribute to the challenge for our youths to own a house. Two primary factors are the additional financial commitment of purchasing a car, and the relatively lower income level in our country compared to our Western counterparts."

Bump up for lunch time~!! Friday and V18 come faster!!

lol.. yea.. cars.. can only buy either one..

Yeah man, I am done with my car.. But for now.. A home.. (still thinking whether I could afford it or not)

get a partner..

there's another alternative : buy sub-sale house

sub-sale also not cheap cz many taking advantage jacking up the prices.. and sub-sale has other cost like legal, stamp duty and down payment.

single storey house in kepong is more than 400k ady.. old house, leasehold.. totally not worth but no choice..

still got de .. if u search ..
example like in WM, Tmn melati, gombak areas still lots of sub-sale below rm 200K
although might be slight small but still enough to cater for a small family

yea i know.. but that's a total different area ady.. now i'm talking Kepong area in particular.. lol.

Thanks .. I like it very much too
