hurmm...editor of the Malay Mail thought on Malaysian property bubble

There seems to be many articles coming out now regarding potential bubbles in KL and KV. IMHO it's to late and those bubbles have been here for some time, the general public is just now waking up to it. KL and some locations in KV have been clearly following the lead of our western buddies and Asian counterparts. This was inevitable and isnt new.

The banks - developers are the enablers. Policy chatter on regulations is just that, chatter. By the time any of these go into play, the bubble will be in full force if not already popped. This is the trend, spend till the end!

Now that the masses are finding it hard to justify the Unaffordable cost of home ownership and the momentum against it is becoming main stream and great press however when housing gets to a point of 8.0x income and greater the purchases have all been made out of emotion and greed so there lies the tipping point of all RE bubbles or bubbles in general.

The correction will come in KL and those prime locations in KV. To when, not sure but can tell you that between now and November mid term elections in US is a good indicator.

New rounds of QE are happening in US, EUROPE and JAPAN. Currency devaluation and debasement will continue and stock markets are due for a correction downward. Trade wars between China/US are inevitable as well which is the last thing China wants right now.

To believe in a recovery is to believe in the impossible. A recovery must be felt by the average consumer, not written in the MSM and preached by our governement.

Dont worry about IF Malaysian regulation comes into play, it will be to late and furthermore the world markets correcting will lead to our correction.

Foreign buyers making their way to our shores

INVESTORS in overheated markets may be arriving.

Those in Singapore and in China – which have introduced fresh rounds of property cooling measures such as limitations on loans and options for affordable properties – are eyeing good buys in other parts of Asia and the United Kingdom, industry specialists observed.

Hong Kong-based property investment firm IP Global Ltd – which has US$800 million (RM2.48 billion) of assets under management – said Malaysia might offer “the best option” for buyers thanks to its steady market, better yields, sensible tax system and easy access to loans.

The firm disclosed it has achieved double-digit returns on capital for its properties here.

Currently, it has about 500 properties in Kuala Lumpur enjoying 96 per cent occupancy and is poised to increase its investments in residential and commercial space in the next three months.

“There’s still medium-term capital growth without the scariness of a boom-bust mentality because the country regulates its property sales quite carefully,” said managing director Tim Murphy, envisaging the market’s robust performance in the second half of 2010 to continue through 2012.

Strong foreign investments and dynamic urbanisation will drive the Malaysian market while its growing number of the “aspirational young” – the under-35 who dream of buying their own home – will support rental rates, Murphy elaborated.

However, he thinks Malaysia is unlikely to rival Singapore, Hong Kong and China’s main cities in the long term although it will be a credible alternative and a notch higher than the Philippines and Thailand.

“Buyers can expect a yield of between five and 6.5 per cent for residential properties and a range of seven to 10 per cent for commercial,” he noted, recommending investment in apartments near transport facilities and schools instead of houses in areas such as KL, Bukit Ceylon and Mont’ Kiara.

Earlier in June, online property research house Global Property Guide singled out Malaysia as its preferred property investment destination in Asia, citing real estate is overvalued in most countries in the region except ours.

Malaysia’s other plus points, it noted, include macroeconomic stability, consistently strong gross domestic product growth, low debt, sound banking system, and international reserves at a healthy nine months of retained imports.

RPGT going to increase to 30% in budget 2011

http://www.chinapress.com.my/content_new.a...rt=1007bs01.txt

Looks like we're on track to a full reinstatement of RPGT. That's good for the health of the market, but bad for speculators and those that bought in before this.

damn,
i'm planning to sell my house that i bought this year...if this news is true...there goes 30% of my profits
hopefully i manage to sell it this year and not be afeected with this new rpgt

once implemented BBB scenario will be gone. no more fully sold before launch.

For those who believe in rental, do take a look at this brief explanation from a guru.

http://www.starproperty.my/PropertyGuide/Finance/7358/0/0

May be we should keep our mouth shut so there will be more tenants around .

yes, the calculation is simple, but i have some comments here
1st - we are talking about investment, but peter is not a investor.
2nd - i currently believe in rental is due to the current property market, the price is to high, i better keep my cash for some high return & liquidity investment. so that when the time is come or i have more cash in hand, then i just go for own a house.
3rd - Peter rent house from Richie, then where do Richie live? Comparison should always base on 2 person that totally equal. if let say peter rent a room from Richie, do u think that the rental will enough to cover the Richie’s monthly bank installments?
4th - the risk is not calculate inside. the rate is alway changing, house price may up or down.
5th - this example is good for ppl that totally not believe in investment, but not for investor that rent a house.

just my 2cent

Wondering is it reasonable for property price to be as high as now..Should i get property now or later?

What is with these Star Property writers. My 9 year old can write a more comprehensive article.

Using RE for inflation hedging is OVER! In the western world for a decade or longer and in Asia (guessing 3 years).

The age of the house in the West is done.

The age of liquidity is here!
