I just listened to this BFM podcast, around 6:30min the MD of Crest Builder talk about construction cost going up and house buyers need to pay more.

Subsale will automatically adjust pricing up too. This is another reason house prices cannot fall, especially in the high demand area. And thread title specify landed house, worse still, in high demand area it has become limited edition already.

At 17min+ he talk about a future project where planned selling psf price was 1.2-1.3k, drop to 900-1k after redesign and reducing offerings. Not a real drop for the same product.

Ok let me clarify, I shared the podcast for the point about cost of construction which is relevant to what TS is asking, if landed in prime area like Subang Jaya will fall or not. He must have his reason for being specific about landed.

And for high rise, although things “not so rosy” as you can hear from the interview, but you can ask around. During pre-2010 before developer interest bearing scheme psf price was around RM200-300 then by mid 2010s around RM500-600. So the experience of those who could already buy since 10 years ago is that the longer you wait, the more expensive for the same area.

This brings me to another point. To a buyer, a Property is a physical house, its design, locality, street address, unit number and so on. It’s not practical at all for a buyer to just think about the Property market in general if looking for a home.

100% increase in some of those areas since 2011. Great investment for those who bought instead of buying a 2011 Porsche Cayenne

No doubt more people choose shares as investment for ease of entry and cashing out. But it’s a completely different product from real estate that is physical and tangible and can generate rental income.
Therefore very few people buy shares from young at the value that can buy a house and at one time to lock in the price. If only dare to buy in small amounts what is the point of 570% return?
