The thing about a bubble is that you don't even know you are floating in one, so soothing and gentle is the sensation that you don't want it to end, ever. But it will, someday, and that someday is not that far away given economic events in Malaysia that will adversely impact future consumer spending. For highly geared property speculators, good luck for a not too hard landing in 2015/6.

When ever I see people rushing to buy 500sf service apartments with 400K price tag in non business district,  I just shake my head & wish them good luck.

Does this people ever calculate rental yield & secondary market demand for such property in non business district ? ...sigh

But as usual all u need is some obasan gossip & social media, plus ask your staff to become actors/actresses to line up long dragon...lol

Hi,

If interest rate goes up and the monthly installment increases, this could cause problem for some people.  But, isn't there housing loan out there where even if the interest rate went up, the monthly installment stay the same.  The only changes are the tenure increases??  Please enlighten me.

Thanks.

Not true for today kota kemuning is <50% occupancy, I stay here about 10 years, initial stage which is more than 5 years ago yes, but today, i would say more than 95% occupacy, and majority are owner stay, majority of those who invest already sold off due to recent hike.

1 million property.. if high rise u are aiming mont kiara.. puchong high end klcc areas di.. and many more not listed..
come on 100k downpayment.. plus the others colum which I tink is the s&p ,loan, stamp duty for both loan and s&p.. rm 130k..

to invest.. these are rich ppl but at then end they are targeting the midfle class of which household income not more than 10k .. open your eyes big how many ppl reach the 10k bracket and above.. even they have.. childten.. car.. insurance.. good.. phone and other necessities.. how to secure ur loan..

these investors cant be targetting ppl with earning more than them or same.. this does not make any sense..

Like our friend highlighted the low occupancy reli cause lot of problems.. unpaid management fees which will affect the other house owners who wish to stay.. friend of mine bought condo 550k just after phonix toll suffering now with limited lifts in operational.. flimsy touch card system limited guard.. bangla reduced bangla without working permits and etc.. this apply everywhere

another classic case also friend of mine bank officer can get loan without interest bought service apartment in iskandar johor for 380k 580 swuare feet locatefhighly nearby students area.. depending on salaries around 2.5 k plus commission around 3k .. bought together with his gf.. planning to flip it and sell it of vourse to singaporean for 500k and above... sadly..now 1 million.. have to sell to locals.. joheareans wont buy it at 500k .. now in deep trouble.. then cash advance and paid of the loan.. month by month meet statement and etc.. haizzz u see

I have photos of bukit beruntung abanfoned shops which cost rm 130k 4 floot.. who say rawang coming up..

my 2 cents

The weakness in such shop-offices is the design that require customers to climb up and down the staircase.  The developer should design for a few common lifts at the spacious lobby and common corridors at each floor leading to individual units.  This ease access for customers and tenancy rate in the building.  The other very odd design is lack of rubbish chute for high-rise.

i heard that the process to before auctioning a prop is a long one. some say more than 1 year. so in the year 2014 when gov impose cooling measure on prop price, the effect of will only show in 2015. ??

how can use rural income to compare urban house price? want compare, take KV average income.

That is the main sign.. businesses especially.. in malls.. dat is the main.. businness getting bad.. take a peek at occupancy level in new projects.. 80 percent in agents hands and flippers wannabe.. and mostly 70 percent chinese..  ask the agents how their commissions... sure know one

the bank must be strict.. once 3 months default.. proceed auction.. dun give much room negotiate..  charge thrm everyting under the sun..oncein auction list then it for the genuine buyers.. auction price will be the corrected price.. I say at least 30 percent..
