ABCs of Property Investment

I prefer homes which are RM300k or lower! Yes, even landed properties are available too.

We listened first hand from Dr. Lee Tai Jia of PropertyGuru. Many slides were presented and I think there is this interesting slide which we should take a look. We could get some conclusions, then decide we if like to take further actions too. Property market demand is real but it all hinges on the affordability and also the acceptance of a certain location or size or even the type of property too.

Property market 2024? Transactions and Prices, Up or Down yeah?

According to the chart, the total transactions are actually growing. In fact it is only growing slowly from 2022 to 2023 and from 2023 to 2024. Some can interpret this as a recovery.

The smaller the unit size, then more units could be built and in fact the prices tend to be lower because the GDV is now divided by a larger number of units. Let me explain.
