Lower Interest Rates means Higher Property Transactions?

Well, cutting rates usually indicate a slowing down of economic activities or even a potential slowdown in the near future. Thus, instead of cutting 50 basis points later, the central bank may prefer to lengthen this whole process and just cut 25 basis points earlier and another 25 basis points later. Who knows, maybe this 25 basis point could have the right effects on the economy and no further rate cuts are needed?

Transactions for residential properties increasing. Is your home one of them?

This trend was one-off and total residential property transactions has breached 120,000 units for H1 2024. Perhaps this is also showing the confidence of the people with a rising ringgit, a lot more positive news about data centers, new FDIs etc. Plus the fact that Bursa Malaysia has also been doing pretty well due to the participation of foreign funds too. If we compare H1 2024 to H1 2022 instead, the increase is lower than 6.1 percent (versus H1 2023) but is still a positive 4.98 percent.

Property market Malaysia? Just one slide to show us what’s happening

I picked just one slide for this first article about the property market in Malaysia. For an overview, we just need to know two things when it comes to property market dynamics yeah. When times are not so positive for the property market, people tend to hold back their purchases. That’s why we will see total transactions falling tremendously. Just take a look at the years during Covid-19. No one could do anything…

Property Investment 101: Buying near MRT station is sure success?

No matter who the person is, if the person tells you that buying this property is sure success because it’s near the MRT, please think again. The reason is because if there’s such a thing, everyone would already know and everyone would have been faster than us. In other words, when we learnt about it and we wanted to buy, the price has already moved upwards.

KL luxury property prices going up due to foreign buyers?

I like to ask everyone, when someone says luxury property, what’s the price point which we are talking about? RM800,000? RM900,000? RM1 million? Erm… I think these days, RM1 million property may just be sub-luxury. A typical double-storey terrace home in a properly planned township would already be close to RM1 million if not higher. The location is not even within any mature neighborhood. Else, it will be even higher than RM1 million.

If a sinkhole happened before, why does it happen again at the same place?

Pardon me for saying this. Why did we let a sinkhole which has happened at the same place last year happen again this year? One bitten twice shy? Wrong action the first time is a mistake but to repeat the wrong action again would now be a foolish action. Now, it has caused a woman to be ‘swallowed’ and is still missing as at the report below.

Landslip in Setapak for one house. Evacuations ordered.

If you are wondering what is the difference between landslip versus landslide, most of the definitions and explanations I found says that they are the same. So, landslip and landslide can be used interchangeably even if some explanations say landslip is over a longer period of time and landslide is immediate. So you can also say that landslip happens first and then only a landslide happens?

When land acquisition goes wrong, it has huge financial implications

I do not own any land as I do not have the holding power to do so. Yes, land is one of the very best investment if one has holding power. From a few ringgit per sq ft, it could be a few hundred per sq ft or even more. Of course it also depends on where the land parcel is yeah. Not every parcel will suddenly appreciate. Some may still be almost the same value if not lower.
