Just came back from a property seminar organized by The Edge magazine at Eastin hotel,


Points to consider in property investment from what was said at the seminar:

- Property market cycle has just started and should be very good for the next 5 years.

-Any Properties in a 5 mile radius of Petaling Jaya District should be good.

1. Property market cycle started back in 2002, not now. In fact now we are at our highest peak. I disagree with this statement, as there's no fundamental evidence to support it.

2. Agree. What you should also point out is that anything within 5 mile radious to PJ usually doesnt come cheap. Btw, is puchong more than 5 mile radius of PJ?

1. I mean the real boost for property has come in the form of RPG tax 0%, properties are underpriced(well compared to our neighbors), easy and cheaper to get loans and a few others that was discussed and presented at the seminar

2. When the are puchong is said, it can mean starting at kinrara up to dengkil
Not too sure but im staying at ss3, pj, and its nearer to bandar metro puchong then to 1 utama laugh.gif
But if you consider PJ state as the heart of PJ, and take the 5mile radius, Bandar metro puchong is in the radius laugh.gif

The Fed might have another 0.25% cut in the bag as housing slump continue and financial market credit crunch issue is far from stable. But with inflation is still a threat, I don't think Fed will cut it too low unless economy run into recession. If they really cut it too low, then it will send the USD to more fresh low and if USD did drop non-stop, if would create more uncertainty in global market as most of the trade and asset held is in USD denomination.
But over long term, there are some arguement that you don't cure the problem at all at the root with the rate cut, you just delay it, as inflation might haunt later on. This issue still debatable, only time will tell.

Back to local issue, BNM has no choice at all, by right, wtih high inflation currently, BNM needs to hike the interest rate to cool down the demand, but current domestic demand is not so strong, they don't want to risk it as it mean economy will be easily put into break with the hike. They rather take the risk of inflation rather than causing economy to slow down. We just come out the the 1997 recession and recover, they don't want out economy back to slow mode again which might mean a lot of problem domestically. Also, there is massive liquidity in the local banking system which means klibor rate will stay at low end for the near time.
Also, the recent inflation is not because of domestic demand driven but the root of raw material which is much harder to tackle.

With high inflation is coming and raw materials price surging, it is a bit high risk to buy those under-con with less reputable developers. When the raw materials price outshooting their cost, project will have high chance of being delayed and abandoned especially those bad track record developers. Our law is simply not protective enough for the buyers.

The government says there is no shortage of steel bars in the market, but why the heck is it at RM 300 a ton now, and that is IF the developer is able to buy them, and the industry is at its peak production, so who is hoarding them and controlling the price? doh.gif

Bad track developer, ie : Talam? sweat.gif

Current cost to build a medium to high rise apartment or condominium is currently rm150 per sq foot, excluding the land price.

So if you have a condominium/apartment priced at below or at about rm150 per sq foot, you sure are in for a price boom brows.gif

Sure lah, with steel bars now exceeding the ceiling price of rm2k per tonne due to shortage even when the government say there is " no shortage" and a "fixed ceiling price", it is traded and sold at about rm3k per tonne.

Apparently someone is hoarding them mad.gif


Unless of course if the contractor "curi tulang" and give u less steel bars (basically means collapse hahahah) on your condo/apartment la
