Where can I find these 100k shop apartments in KL? I'd like an affordable place for own stay, but even the cheapest 500sqft studio unit that is not even within walking distance of mrt is at least 300k. It's infuriating how expensive property is when  considering how poorly planned the city is.. uneven and poorly maintained roads, inconsistent sidewalks, poor public transportation, highways everywhere.. literally 3rd world city planning, but 1st world property prices.

[KUALA LUMPUR] The majority of property agents in Malaysia say they are upbeat about the real estate sector’s outlook for 2024, with many anticipating that residential prices and rentals will increase in the next 12 months.

This was one of the key findings from a new survey by IQI, a global real estate agency network that’s also a member of Malaysia-based technology group Juwai IQI. A total of 203 agents and negotiators took part in the poll that was conducted from Nov 1 to Nov 22.

In a report accompanying the survey findings that was released on Tuesday (Dec 5), IQI noted that nine in 10 respondents (91.1 per cent) would advise a friend to buy a property, with the remaining 8.9 per cent suggesting that people should rent instead.
“The buy–rent ratio reveals strong confidence in the real estate market,” said Kashif Ansari, the co-founder and group chief executive of Juwai IQI who’s also the group CEO of IQI.

He noted that the numbers are nearly as lopsided in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor as they are country-wide, with 88.8 per cent for buying versus 11.2 per cent for renting.

He made the point that agents may recommend buying because they expect significant increases in both sales prices and rents in 2024.
