The example I gave is to point out that since it is not possible for a desired area to have zero demand, then how high is the possibility of crash? Lelong also will see buyers push higher and higher because it’s worth it for them. Bank will always lend to qualified borrowers. Since you look for property in 2011 until now, government has tried to keep interest rate low without big jumps to encourage economic activity.
General trend, meaning all properties combined, is up, yes. There’s data few pages back.
But it’s made up of so many states, towns, tamans & types of properties, and not all are up, some areas are down. So there are super performers causing the general trend to be up. These areas also tend to be the target of people waiting for crash. Anyway my point is personal experience of property market is different like someone who wants to buy in hot area only or trying to sell their prop in dead area. General trend has limited use to an individual.
Of course there will be price drop in certain undeveloped area, but this does not referred to the "market crash" as mention in the title. In general malaysia market, most of the time its stagnant and when something happen like rise in raw material price, housing price will be increase too, so when it will go down? Again in general malaysia market, newly develop area for double storey is half a million, if the area continue to develop the housing price will be increase, if not, most probably stagnant, very little to have price drop.
I think it will be healthier for the industry to have up and down. People say the bigger you are the harder you fall. At that point it will bring down the whole economy. I still believe the market crash but no one knows when, probably we cannot see it coming.
Anyway, all my comment are my opinion as general Malaysian who not in the industries but really want an affordable housing price that worth our money. Yes, maybe your company loss a lot of money in property industries but it still does not reflex to the housing price in general.
