but seen many instance it is widely abused....

our real estate boom start since late 80' and the AFC 97 was not a burst!

asset class boom usually last 2 or 3 decades.

just share a fact here. I am not seeking your 'wisdom'

AFC we have a burst in currency and stock market. So did the bond to certain extend.

Not real estate really.

Everyone needs a roof over their heads, but that does not mean all kinds of property will be in demand.

There very certainly can be an oversupply of commercial prop (shoplots, offices and yes, malls too) which is already happening now.
There can also be oversupply of residential props especially for those where there are very few takers - like so-called "high-end condo" (where the only thing high end is the price and not the fittings) in non-prime areas or landed areas in the arse end of nowhere where people have to drive 1 hour + to get to KL every morning selling for megabucks.

BTW don't tell me X is only X mins from KL if you take MEX/SKVE/blablabla. It sure is only x mins, if you drive at midnight on a weekday, all the traffic lights are green, speeding along at 140+km/h, etc. Normal peak hour traffic, it will be xxx mins instead...

When you mean 50k, do you mean residential or commercial part of setiawalk? And increase means asking price? Or transacted price. Even iincrease in transacted price could be because of high floor etc.

if this is indeed true, i am curious who are these buyers?
for flipping? ((must be crazy)
genuine house buyers ?
for rental play? (doubt can cover with current rental rates)

You worry too much about price increase

you should change your mind that all rental collection could cover your monthly repayment at LTV of 90%. [then ppl will die die find 10% down to get their own roof, why need to pay you the rent?]

if LTV at 70% and then rents can cover your monthly repayment, then it is good enough at the current market.

in the future, many people will find it difficult to take out downpayment for their property and then they will have to keep renting.

you should flip for profit

renting is for long term play mid-term to long term (at least 10 years )

come on man, you definitely will say the samething in the future.

why not the price will hike? did those people in 1970s see PJ 's property price hike in 2000s?

Same thing applied.

One bought usj terraced house corner for 530k in early 2012 that time valuation was only 480k-500k. Manage to change hand at 700k+ end of 2012.

One bought a piece of leasehold bungalow lot at 90psf in early 2012. That time valuation at only 70psf. Due to leasehold needed approval from the state government. And now it is approved and the valuation is 130-140psf. Asking then from 180psf.

I can give more examples if you wanna to know.

that's the problem that we are facing now 

Thats the dilemma we are facing. I think we have to always be alert. Somebody sell below market, terus snatch. Not easy to do that
