Why can't I buy when I think price will drop? The price I get may not be the price most people are asking for, it can be much lower. Why do I need to tell anyone what I buy? It doesn't matter, I can share as much as I want or as little as I want. Why do people here like to pester and harass people if they ignore them? In the internet everyone is free...for now at least...perhaps the MCMC might change that. Hahahahaha...Why some folks here like to make things so personal and serious? Like whatever posted on this forum can change reality.

I'm always amused by the widespread use of emotive metaphors when it comes to property, as it leads to some genuinely funny observations. And of course, you absolutely are correct many (not all) of the DDD camp have in fact "missed the boat", hence the bitterness and sour grapes.

Nonetheless, and solely for the purposes of lightening the mood here, isn't it also correct that if you try to step off the pier when the boat has already left, you are likely to end up at the bottom of the ocean?

Apologies for digressing. Please continue on.

Why everyone thinks property prices in MALAYSIA will drop?

Then you should buy now, cos by 2016, it'll be 1M.... no? LoL!!!

Sharing is caring brother
Of course u can choose not to share, no obligation

Please don't buy, Keep waiting

1) N

2) Y. But note that is "usually". Not "always". Also note "Long-term". 3 years? 5 years? 10 years? 15 years? 50 years?

3) N

4) N

Theoretically you are absolutely right, practically you need more field experience
Cheers

Because some of them flushed common sense and intelligence down the toilet while they put their eye balls in between the legs pretending didnt see property prices have gone up substantially since 2008

For those who regret not buying in 2010, because prices have increased and no longer believe that prices may/ will drop then please quickly go buy now. The worst investors are those that always nag about regretting this and that, the only person you can blame is yourself for a bad strategy or for not believing in your strategy.

So what happens when you buy now at 700K and by 2014 it drops to 500K? Then you're gonna come back here and nag I regret buying?!?!? Come on!

You think its gonna go up in the future then buy, you think its gonna drop then wait... and don't go blaming others when it doesn't turn out the way you planned cos no one in the world point a gun to your head and asked you to buy. Maybe your gf grab you by the b4lls and force you but hey, you allowed it to happen so grow up and stop nagging.

1) Y when prices are reasonably affordable, N when prices are too high (if still wish to buy, then have to be very very selective unless you're a billionaire then buy whatever and whenever you want);

2) Y if you're talking about nominal, N if you're talking about real;

3) Might be the other way around... foreigners causing collapse;

4) Developed countries, CBD areas... Y, developing-cum-3rd world countries (like bolehland)... N

Above is my opinion, please don't take it as advice to act upon and nag about regretting when it's turns out unfavourable.

About this question, has been asked since 2008, and many young guy who fresh in property market keep asking this, anyone can help Rooney?

Not asking for help. Anyway already entered way before 2008. Maybe you need help to leverage on my statements, if so please be a bit more brave and say what you want to say instead of hiding behind other people's words... Or are you intentionally asking a question or asking for comments so that you can use a dup account to answer it?

LoL... sad sad sad... Btw, prices going up soon, you bought any in the recent months? LoL... if not (I have a feeling its a big NO) ... please share why... If yes please share where and how much... rofl!

my version:
- "Anytime is a good time to buy". Y but with disclaimer.

- "Properties prices will usually go up in the long-term". Y. Long term? Let's just pegged it at more than 10 years shall we and pls drop the inlfation or opporunity or whatever cost during those time line. And yes, thanks for noticing my revision of the word from always to usually.

- "The market cannot collapse because of demand from foreigners." Obvious by now.

- "Mickey mouse units are the trend of the future". Real rough call.

mickey mouse is here because of demand or affordability?
Chances are a bit of both and the line further distorted with blurring lines of affordability hence 'forcing' acceptance of these units.
Given a choice, guess most would prefer something bigger. But need to train the mind to accept smaller units due to $$$ constraint lor.

Just like the saying, "The xxx is the new yyy" eg. The 400k's are the new 300k's; the 800sf is the new 1000sf;

Feel free to disagree.....

Its news like this that justifies the reason not to compare bolehland with singapore and hong kong. Everytime someone says cheaper compare to singapore and hong kong, I get the impression they're agents/ developer staff/ flippers... rofl... apologies to those who compare and aren't but that's the way it is.

"Mickey mouse units are the trend of the future". I think this will 100% happens, SOHO is a good example of this. Even in other nation such as HK, China and Japan.....most of them stay in Mickey mouse unit. Because developer are profit taker, as long they can sell, they will do that. And the government will support that also, to ease their headace for increase in instability due to price inflation and poor governing policy. In fact this is what your government do...avoid the real cure and go for shortcuts.

(1) Y given the location

(2) Y, prices might stagnate and possibly drop 5-10% (location location location dependent). Long run however, up up

(3) Y, IMHO market will not collapse (as in 20-50%) price reduction. Weaker RM and ever increasing population (domestic, foreign, immigrants).
Even if market collapse, the entire financial institution in this country will be jeopardize, no banks will have to confidence to "lend" out money to the businesses whatmore the rakyat.
Those under employement might lose their jobs - buying property requires courage and confidence
Only those with have solid bank balance (millions) and well connected network (securing low rates from offshore/funds) will have an edge to ask for lower prices

(4) Really no idea

This year no buy Rooney, maybe not yet buy ah Rooney, but last year bought 2 when down camp keep saying DDD, early last year bought 1 fire sale at 175k, sold it with 100k more, no joke and it really happened, last quarter bought one shoplot in subsales market (under con that time) with 1.4x mil, my neighbor sold at 1.85mil brother Rooney.
Can I call this 'everytime is good time to buy'? Many people especially inexperienced one doesn't fully understand it, they always confuse themself that everytime is good time = everything can buy or everywhere can buy.
In property market, there have various product and various location with various price tag, if soho are too many then go survey others lor, it's just simple way to make money, no rocket science

Obviously, I always stay firm on my stand. Never flip flop as I do confident on Malaysian property mart.

Yes you do. very firm agent indeep.

I need to know your area market now.

More people around you wanted to buy or sell? u not yet answer me wo.
