Property Investment 101: Property related charts by Rahim & Co

A good friend of mine has just left Rahim & Co nd joined another organisation. However, just before he left, he sent me a comprehensive report from Rahim & Co which I think i want to share with more people. Thus, I have looked through them and chosen some relevant charts for us to understand the property market a little better versus just listening to our FB friends who may be speaking from what they heard in their FB pages. Haha. Below are all charts based on actual numbers.

Property Investment 101: Property price update. Going up or coming down?

Typical Homeowner: I want to sell as high as I could. My property is a very good property.

Typical Homebuyer: Please sell me at a lower price. Market is slow, I want better prices before I buy.

Homeowner with an overpriced property: If I sell at this price, I will lose money. If I do not sell, then I have to keep paying the monthly mortgage. Property investment is such a bad investment.

Homeowner with an in-demand property: I prefer to have that extra RM50,000 even if I know if I reduce it by RM50,000 I could sell quickly. Let’s look at some of the offers first.

Property Investment 101: When rates rise, buying falls. Financial logic, really.

Well, the answer depends. If you found a neighbour selling their home which is right next to your parents’ home and you want to be close to them because it’s now time to take care of them (since they have taken care of us for a very long time), then you would buy even if BNM increases the rates by 1 percent. Before you ask, but how much is this 1 percent increase? What if I could not afford this increase then? The calculation is right at the end of this article. In the mean time, take a look at what fluctuation in rate would do to the property transactions in the largest economy in the world. As at 2023, it is definitely still the United States yeah.

Property Investment 101: Property prices falling everywhere. What’s the next action to take?

Malaysia property market is a small one. Ours is also not so advanced. People still think anywhere above 20km away from the city centre as VERY FAR. Haha. I always encourage everyone to take a look at the suburbs in some advanced countries to understand that even 50km is not considered as ‘impossible’ and meanwhile 30km from the city centre is considered normal.

Property Investment 101: 3 ways to invest into properties

People say, “never put all your eggs into one basket” because the risks are very high that if the basket were to fall, all the eggs would be broken. It’s the same for investments. Diversification is necessary. My personal opinion is that dieversification is necessary but investment into property is compulsory. The last I remembered, not many people prefer to stay in a cave or under the bridge these days.

People’s Housing Projects (PPR) should be for rent and not for sale

People’s Housing Projects (PPR) is built to provide homes to Malaysians who could not afford their own home as yet. Thus, all these PPR homes must be for the benefit of poor Malaysians and not to enrich anyone who managed to get a unit and is then sub-letting the unit out to foreigners and gaining profits from it while many other needy Malaysians are having to wait for a unit for years.
