Maybank Investment Bank Research said property sales would be boosted by the soon-to be-launched Home Ownership Campaign (HOC), a joint effort between the government and private developers.

It said historical data showed that home sales rebounded strongly by 33% in 1999 when HOCs were launched in December 1998 and fourth quarter of 1999, after a sharp plunge by 36% in 1998.

“Under the 2019 HOC, stamp duty exemption will be granted for first-time homebuyers for properties priced between RM300,000 and RM1mil per unit from Jan 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.

I think this one tak sama.. This one baru habit financial crisis..

Lets see.......haha.....

Hi mascot what a name

Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said for homes priced up to RM2.5 million, the stamp duty on transfer of ownership title or memorandum of transfer (MOT) will be waived for the first RM1 million and reduced to 3% for the subsequent RM1.5 million. The 3% stamp duty will revert to 4% after the campaign ends.

Is this MOT waiver for first time home buyers only??

yes and there are certain criteria to be met

I know only first time buyers are eligible for waiver of stamp duties on S&P/loan agreements. How about the waiver of stamp duty on MOT which is added later? Anyone here can confirm with source?

loan - pg 6. effective only from 1jul2019 onwards

spa - pg 48-54. 'instrument of transfer' means MOT.

Is this HOC meant for first time buyers from developers only or can houses from non-developers (meaning from anyone who owns a house) be bought under this HOC as well?

Can individual owners then register their home in the HOC campaign as a product?
By this way can individual owners sell their houses in this HOC?

In other words its a Developer Benevolent Campaign for the benefit of developers clearing their unsold units.

There could be a reason why they could be left as "dead chicken" in the first place. 
Most development done were on the fringes of Klang Valley like Rawang, Semenyih, Bukit Beruntung etc. where most people shun these areas. The majority would want to be located within KV.
In this case even with the HOC and all its perks it may not be enough to entice the buyers if location was the main problem to begin with.
Even cash rich investors avoid these areas because it is not easy to get renters to rent out later on unless the investors are unwise ones.

Some developers are already absorbing the stamp duties on S&P and loan agreements right now. What is the point to this? It does not even apply to subsale buyers anyways :/ From what I see, it is only benefiting the developers to have what they usually do be advertised in the name of govt

but not many developers are absorbing stamp duty on MOT
