Based on past samples of comparison between DIBS properties and non-DIBS properties (see chart), the price difference is 10% to 20% and some even as high as up to 25%.
That would mean that if a property was proposed to be launched at RM500,000 and if the developer were to offer DIBS, the developer would be pricing the said property at RM600,000 to cover for so-called “interest cost during construction (say three years)” that the developer is absorbing.
This artificially inflates property price which has a push effect on:
> Prices of subsequent new launches as future launches must be priced much higher than RM600,000, probably closer to RM700,000, thus making subsequent new properties more unaffordable.
> Prices of existing properties can also increase overnight by up to RM100,000, thus making existing properties also more unaffordable.
Property prices also have a spillover effect and can push up prices properties in surrounding locations. Properties launched in Mont’ Kiara will immediately push up prices in surrounding locations including Kepong and Segambut which will eventually affect the cost of properties in Cheras, Kajang and Semenyih too.

You reap what you sow, it is about time chickens come home to roost.
