Paramount Property CEO
“The improved property market is expected to sustain until the end of the year. However, while overall market conditions may be improving, there are still challenges that may continue to dampen consumer sentiment. This includes an overhang in the supply of high-rise properties in some locations, tight financing regulations and unaffordability issues.
We believe properties that fall into the affordable segment (mainly properties between RM300,000 and RM600,000) will do well in the current market. With the new government looking for ways to relax current lending guidelines to enable more homebuyers from the B40 and M40 groups to secure housing loans, we expect the demand for affordable residential properties to increase.
The Malaysian economy is currently in a cyclical upturn due to the pick-up in external demand. Under the new government, medium-to-long term growth potential is positive as institutional and economic reforms will result in increased investor confidence leading to higher investment and consumption activities. With the implementation of zero-rated GST, it’s an excellent time now to buy property and there will be savings if people buy properties before the reintroduction of the sales and services tax (SST). While residential properties are exempted from GST, the policy is anticipated to have a positive impact on developers’ development costs.
We hope that the government will be able to implement their Election Manifesto soon, to boost the country’s economy and the confidence of investors, as well as lift consumer sentiments. Last but not least, we would like to wish our Prime Minister good health and good governance!”
