Well it depends. You would still need a house to live in right? However there are options that is to rent. Can you answer these questions before buying a house "for own use"?
1. Are you sure you would be staying there for decades to come?
2. Are there no properties for rent that are cheaper in rental than for you to pay for costs associated with purchasing the house? (installment, fire insurance, mortgage insruance, maintenance + sinking fund, etc.)
I am 32, and I am settling down in Dengkil, near Putrajaya. My wife loves working in Putrajaya, and Dengkil is the place where she could take 15 minutes to get to her office. If she lose her job, she can find other locations to work nearby or she doesn't need to work as I can support this small family of 2.
but young people hardly have a good grasp of where they would really want to settle down. Without really knowing, you are just gambling. Who knows you may actually need to move and rent out your property at a loss because you cannot afford not to subsidize your installment without rental income. The "right property" is something you need to discover - you may think you have found it, but circumstances may change and depending on how much you committed to the property, you may be stuck.
My landlord in Cyberjaya is now stuck. The loan outstanding is higher than the realistic selling price. When he bought this property there were only 2 of them, a studio. Unrealistic for them to remain here, so they had to rent it way below their installment + other fees.
On a serious note, i 100% recommend you to grab a lelong unit at Savanna Executive Suites. Some say is at KL South. Some say Bangi. But actual address is at Dengkil.
Proper 3 bedroom size unit. Some unit with balcony. Some without. There is even a lelong unit with private terrace. Size of the private terrace is bigger than the internal unit size.
I believe price will reach bottom at 250k.
If hit 200k then property market really crash. Bubble burst as per this thread title.
Coz ppl saying the cost to build a unit there + land cost is definitely above 200k. And now lelong unit force to transact at below constructing the unit price. Doesnt make sense.
