today zaobao (Singapore Chinese newspapar) reported KL is now the best property market in Asia.
http://property.zaobao.com.sg/pages6/overseas101213s.shtml

expected more Chinese, HK, Singapore investors to come over to KL. how to drop??? In fact i have a few Sg, SH, HK fren already asking me to look properties for them.. (sigh now become a free agent and some more need to drive them around..beside nite entertainments )

it is also a cycle. it goes up. then it comes down, then  it will go up again.

the smart people are those who know when to go in at the right time. but then again, this would be for those who make money. people who need a roof over their heads will also have to buy whether the cycle is when the price is up or down.

so, just maximize whatever opportunity that comes.

..and pray, of course 

everyone incl tax expert and ahsohs now also expert in predicting bubble or no bubble.

actually, nothing in mysia ever goes "pop"; always slowly; not prices everywhere drop 30% in a month or two...

bubble probably mean generally:

. overall prices will stop rising, stagnate, plus minus 10%.
Ee. developers can't sell at latest launches, need to give rebates, freebies, slow or stop launching more
. some areas will see a bigger impact, some will have no impact
. some type of props will see bigger impact, others less
. speculators holding too many may get into trouble
. genuine homebuyers get a better choice when buying, not necessarily at deep discount

good overall if some correction - homeseekers need not frustrate trying to buy a home; speculators need to back off and go goreng something else.

gomen need to stop relying on building building building to prop economy which encourages the banks and developers to suck people dry.

Just wondering...

How does one, sell their property at a profit, then buy another house which is under valued?

In essence, wouldn't it be the same to just stick to that same property?

what i meant was, feel Sungai Buloh landed still got chance to flip or capital appreciation.
rent cant la.

Recession is just a parcel of the economy.
Economy boom and burst is always come in cyclical mode.
Neither one last forever.

So recession give your opportunity to buy quality investment asset during that time.
So why fear about recession.

Recession won't last forever, in fact, recession generally won't more than 2-3 years, from historical perspective.
And somemore, 97-98 may only happened once or twice in our life-time, it was an extra-ordinary event definitely not a norm.

Just fyi. Not only 50%, but even more.
Pbbank was 0.88
CIMB was 1.80

So same with properties, it is all about buying the right and quality properties.

Bare in mind, properties is unlike stock.
Listed company can go burst if under severe losses. So value can go to 0.

Properties cannot drop to 0 in value.

So invest in properties has less downside risk than stock.
While any quality asset will turn up fast when economy turn better time.

while the gurus are having a heavy debate on current world macroeconomics, you dropped this.

excellent timing for a break.

if blr increase more, it'll only affect those ppl who sapu more props with less cash oni..
and most of the props they're holding generate -ve income.. unless they're able to sell their props  then diff case already

Noob question here...
apart from reading those mentioned blogs and "good money mgmt",

do you forsee that with the current trend, do you think a working class person, exclude those managerial and above level, do you think we can afford in purchasing a property? (exclude low cost )

think twice if the property is ur asset in disaster times, example australia.
