Yes, consumer may have a CHOICE to buy or not when GST and BLR increase. But reality, house is considered a neccessity. Must go and look at ourselves. All Malaysians want to own homes. Middle income trap is just for a while. When they reach their mid 30s or 40s, most of them will be buying homes. Many actually buy homes earlier especially a few years after getting married.

Just check other countries that have gone through what we are going through. Many of them couldnt afford to buy homes in their 20s. It is normal for them. So it is not something abnormal to occur to us. Even though I do see many in their 20s are currently buying. But usually you hear by those who couldnt afford and keep complaining. tin kosong always sounds louder.

Yeah, one should not end up like Lehman Brothers and should cut loses. But like I mentioned, not all properties are in rubbish market. So far Alhamdulillah, all of my props have appreciated (transacted price) and even the once in construction as well as developer has increased the price 2 or 3 times already coz considered undervalued.

A bubble may occur soon. A crash too maybe. But I strongly believe it wont be in the near future (2013,2014,, 2015). No way with all of the measurements taken.

As a customer you will avoid property but will you avoid buying a car? How much? And if you buy a car you still wont buy a house?

BTW Singapore and HK public transport is top notch.

put a pedal lock in their carpark...

Look closely. I have found a bought reasonable props in kajang, puchong, setia alam. Around rm500k to rm600k. I believe those price are reasonable especially for landed houses in KV. They are not chap or cikai products. Gated and guarded and some got even clubhouse. Of course these type at that price are snatched up very fast. One or two days gone already.Monthly installment around rn2k++

Buy sub-sale apartment rm200k can get good location. 

Then thus is different story already la. Ur case is a localized case. U do part time business sure can get to pay rm2k for installments of house

Correct you are saying not worth to own a car. That is why I dont buy one but bought two apartments instead.

Anyway what I see in what you post is you dont buy a car but bought an apartment instead. That is a commendable move and I will support that.

I have an option to get a moto too I guess, but dont want too. Statistically you will always have an accident in your life at least once, do you want to have an accident while riding a bike? I dont want too. Ive seen too many accidents involving motorcycles and this is still while I am in the taxi. I always say when there is an accident invoving a bike, or a close call involving a bike. "Lucky this guy is not dead yet". Sometimes it is the fault of the car, other times it will be the fault of the bike. But If I have a kid, I wont let him drive a bike.

Hi Everyone,

Anyone here are looking at/investing in the Sabah Property Market?

The residence condo price range from 500~1000+ depending on location which I guess is comparable to prices in Penang. (Well it really does depend on the location)

A few on-going commercial projects have already sold 70% to 100% units in it's first year or even before the start of construction.

What is your take on the market?

u will have more hate soon ...like what said "more people would cut down expenses"...

your hate will only be increase not decrease.

Yea I suppose.

Rumor is most buyer are offshore.

Well just saying at that kind of price, there will be no such owners who will skip mantenance fee...and why are you afraid of commercial title?

hahaha..dont mean to scare you la. Sorry about that. I am talking about what I think about myself.

For me i always thought, if I would have an accident, better when I am in a car. I would be a very bad biker, so better not buy one. If you are good at riding bikes, then use the bike. Just ride carefully.

Well cant imagine such wealthy people who buy high end condo will not pay maintenance fees.

Well I heard that amaya maluri feng shui is good by some chinese buyer. Anyway I am not Chinese, so dunno about fengshui stuff.

Second a lot of "good buddy". Why not? What is a "good buddy"

Third noisy? As oppose to where you live where you want to declare war on your neighbours upstairs? Who doesnt pay maintenance fee?

Well if that is true, we ask him or her not to use the lifts too. Then they dont need to pay.

I see..

But good buddy and noisy should be a problem at your place too. I mean foreign worker will be living at your building compared to commercial buildings I think. Shops? Well dunno how noisy it will be.

if shops don't do well, then the resi would flourish?

anyway, pavillion residence count, bor?
it fits both your criteria 1 and 2.
got a lot of mat salleh, koreans, japs, etc too.

"The higher the property price, the higher the GDV, the higher our GDP."

This is the view of a government officer.

Ok lah, tomorrow govt upgrade all their valuation. Kau tim. We'll become high income nation soon if GDP > Birth Rate.
