With supply >> demand, there is no reason for property prices to go up.

There are some good discussions here

Only if developers are committed to stop building, else the oversupply situation will still be there. if not worsen.

Depends on your prop location & prop price really.
Oversupply? For which unit price at which location?
There's always good demand for medium range at good location. Nothing changes in rental yield for some even this period, got increase due people downgrade.
Play your game affordably & right price justification. Can always invest. Any time.

Market is flooded with so many new project....

One thing for sure... Your rentals cannot cover your monthly commitments... Gone the days of getting positive income after deducting the related cost....

Electricity, water, lowest labour wages, SST, gold, silver, palm oil, operating cost etc all increased, affordable house getting cheaper and bigger, as low as RM200k, build up from 800sf increased to 900sf, better layout, better facilities, better location, valuers dont dare to give value, does it healthy to the market? Can we said props marker involution seriously for the past 10years?

Just get a property for your own stay

Or if you want to rent out, just rent out but don’t expect to be an active or good investment

Then you won’t be disappointed

yes so true...
Oversupply start exist since 2020.
Now even worst.
Now flooded with so many new projects, mostly high density.
I dont understand why PBT approve those new projects.
They not thinking about future traffic congestion, not enuff schools for increasing populations, and other cramped public facilities.
For example in Setapak area, so many new condo being built right now. Take for an example, J Satine. so high density. Like modern days kind of setinggan.
Imagine what will happen to traffic flow and school capacity in the future.
The area surely gonna be hell once reach full occupancy, I tell you.
Crazy PBT , if any vacant land all approve for new condos, not thinking about building new schools, new Klinik Kesihatan, new hospitals, etc.

Now, subsale unit is not easy to sell already.

In future, they will be housing unit surplus definitely. Price sure will drop.
In 5 to 10 years time, some of Gen x will start move out of city or die. That time more empty units will be listed for subsale.
And Gen Y also want to upgrade house from time to time. Their existing house to be listed for subsale also.
More subsale in market. And the new generation of condo have to compete with older condos with bigger square feet. Sure hard to re-sell new gen unit which mostly small sqft unit. Have to drop the price. End up, reselling price lower than price bought from developer.

My advise, no need to buy for investment. Wasting your time and money only.
But buy for own stay is OK.

Remember one thing , we are not small island country like Singapore or HK.
We are big country.
Somemore, we will have more fast train connecting Klang Valley with other small towns, example ETS and ECRL.
Peoples can move around and live freely outside Klang Valley as another options.
Peoples can also work from home in the future more than now. So, no need to stay close to KL CBD.
Working culture is now becoming more and more digital and AI oriented in the future.
I can see WFH is the way of life in future.

Another thing, inflation and increasing cost of living.
How many peoples can afford to buy expensive house.
Let say, if now u buy unit at RM700k.
You think in 10 years time price can go up to RM900k is it?
But who gonna buy it? Peoples can afford it or not?
Income remain stagnant. Cost of living keep on increasing.
Who can afford to buy?
End up, possibility price of the unit will go down.
