Very true. It is the common problem with many rational people, me included. Listen to this and listen to that. Sometimes, both are reasonable. No matter what, decision has to be made to join which camp, to take the next action.

No problem according to pemandu greater kl expect to increase its population from current 6 millions to 10 millions by 2020, with 8.4 millions citizens & 1.6 millions foreigners from current 540K, assume we will have arround 26 millions population in peninsular Malaysia 6 years from now (current 23.5 millions),  meaning about 1 in every 3 Peninsular Malaysians will be livings in greater kl.

According to this article the only way to reduce house prices is to build more house, to achieve 2.5 person in every house from our current 6.2 person in every house, assuming urban area to have even smaller family like less than 2, yes u need to get 1 for your parents,  1 for u & your spouse,  assume you have 2 kids another house for them.

To reduce house prices we need more house,  according to this particular developer write up.

According to REHDA the reason behind house prices escalating is due to huge demand & limited supply of land plus high demand of building materials,  meaning the higher the demand the higher the price.

Gosh! my friend has just bought unit from Sunrise early this year. Now she has resigned from her job and hopping that can get good return from this property..... 

Whereas those investors who buy during good times, continue to buy during bad times. They manage to pick up many good deals. These investors usually have target price and will make the move when their target price is met.

u think when recession people who still waiting can easily buy ?. Interest rate will be hike up and impact a lot. unless bullet got millions

The general prices of property in malaysia over a long period (for eg. 10 years) has never came down. It is quite a linear upward graph. With the exception of a few individual projects

actually all the 2014 budget can be bypass. RPGT, BNM rules, LTV70%, DIBS. Developer can easy change to DISS .

Still if talks abt cash buyers, not many able to make big value purchases without loan. Same thing, also filtered out from capability to purchase. No one like to cut lost, if does it is called ROI cut. Buyers still pay to seller some premium. Only weak flippers are going to find it hard to keep up with repayment. If no rental, smell the trouble coming soon during VP. Subsales are plenty in markets, can go buy "cheap" ones that is bigger size. If take new ones at affordable price, be ready to scarify size.

Just to add, one if too fragile, pls dont buy anything if unable tolerate small fluctuation.

Stock market to come down by 1st quarter of 2014, something big is coming liao, kakaka...

Too much negative thought, here some positive.

So BBB Gala continue. 

. I was suprise young people in their 20 to 30s owning 3 -4 units of condos to themselves and because they have to service these loans, they are harping that their units could be rented out so to cover their loan installments. If the said person were to lose his source of income, he/she would definately be unable to pay for this exisiting housing loans. During those times, as long as you have a proper source of income, you could easily get 95% - 100% loan for those properties.

To be fair, everybody wants to make extra profits, but I would suggest that people buy within their means and not at the limit of their income. What if the market crashes, or you were to lose your job or something happen to you and being so you could not service your loans anymore?

When one has nothing, they can say anything, since they have nothing to loose. Those strong earners should be able to surf thru the storms and deal with the challenges. If you been faking your earning to get loan, you will suffer soon or later if bubble bursts. Good luck!

For true buyers, with strong earning same as they reported in loan application are most likely to be ok . If interest goes up and not exceeding their monthly LO installment amount, they are still safe if they had chosen max tenure. Monthly installment is still same but serving more on interest than principal, this will increase your loan tenure automatically is no big deal, as price of prop will recover and up somemore as proven in history.  After VP, if tenanted then good, if no, can release back for sales at certain acceptable premium is not bad at all.  at any given time or more than 5 yrs. Future homes are smaller and more affordable in their own expenssive way to satisfy general mass market in sacrify of size. Those reported much much more (fake strech) than actual earning are gonna face their own downfalls. The key is you must have steady income and dont loose your job/biz.

No perfect plan on life, it is a journey waiting to be discovered. Ideal situation comes from strategic planning, not perfect but practical enough to minimise risks if possible. If all things easy achieved, no gap between poverty and riches. Always measure self capability, walk the fine line is to take calculated risks  for breakthrough yet if overboard is trouble. Many external factors not mentioned here. Each individual is different, some have heavyweight background some just  starting up. We are not expert, each step taken must be carefully considered. A wrong step will take a person 3 to possibly 10 yrs financially behind.

Very confusing.  But I think US economy is recovering.  The Malaysia government knows its positive impact and announces the GST.  GST is usually announced in a robust economy, like when Singapore announced it.
