Question to all:

Do you think there is going to be a major property slump in Malaysia sometime in 2015-2017? Please give your reasons.

Based on what reasoning?

BLR going up by 0.25% will have little effect on buying sentiments. After all, its just an increase of maybe RM50 per month or less. Prices will continue to rise at least until 2015 i think. From then on, its anybody's guess. If the financial sector and Malaysia's economy is still strong then, there will not be a slump but i think that the property market is due for a correction in 2016/2017 at the rate things are going. But how bad will the correction be and which areas will be affected is again, anybody's guess. I would think that new launches that were priced much higher than existing property in that area would be hardest hit as their prices will not be sustainable especially if the investors are those with little or no holding power to weather storms.

I think most property purchased 2008-2010 appreciated alot. That was the boom time of property.But % of appreciation has started to drop from 2011 and even worse this year. Subsales are starting to stagnate.
