Next year is rent market.

If u buy, the installment for a 700K condo can be easily 3.5K per month but if rent, approx 2K fully furnished. If bare, even lower. This is what I observed at Cita Damansara. Only need to pay for utilities. Other fees and taxes by owner.

Just look forward.  Don't rely on statistics.  They only give you a snapshot.

Things that are a fact now.

1) Supply glut.  Freezing approvals it doesn't help.
2) Population of Chinese (assumed here the wealth of the nation or since 90% of LHDN collection are from Chinese) dwindling.  - 400k birth in 2016, 80% were bumiputeras, the rest 20% were non-bumi's of which chinese were 50% of it, 40k).  Chinese population growth peaked in 2000.
3) Govt. push/drive to remove all dependency on foreign labour and move into IT/Machined/AI based production/services methods.
4)Generally speaking, those born at the turn of the century, don't see property as the way forward unlike the elder generation.  And if they were, they are priced out.

Things to look out for, Govt actions

1) BNM 6 action plans.  Frankly, central bank actions worldwide historically, has been ineffective and too late.
2) Opening M'sia property market to foreigners.  Apart from MM2u, there doesn't seem much since unlike Aust/HK, the foreigners that M'sia are attracting are Indonesians, Rohingas, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, refugees etc. 
3) Change in perception of other races towards properties - Malays, Indians, etc.  Frankly, the purchasing desires of them are somewhat lacking or they place less importance.
4) Aging chinese population don't really need big homes, too much hassle to clean.  Can't depend on maids as they are getting harder to come by. 
5) Aggressivemess of Govt in removing dependency on foreign labour and actions taken to remove illegals from the country.

Dear Everyone,

Instead of yada blindingly, lets post some real life facts and figures comparing past price and current/future price to show the difference. This is especially on unsold units and what price did developers change to reflect current situation. DDD camps can start posting? Thanks.
