“One side: property price too high!!
Another side: property price has been stagnant…”
So which is which? Who is correct? After speaking to so many people, I realised that they are talking about different properties in different locations.
To deep dive further, it’s not Malaysia property cannot make it. Most of the time, buyers who make such statements were expecting 20% annual appreciate in value for 5 years straight so in years time the price will double. Unfortunately the market performance didn’t match their expectations.
“So can we really save money to get the dream home we want?!”
By logic, the common form of dream home would be a nicely renovated landed home in a prestigious address such as Bangsar, TTDI, Desa Park City, Damansara Utama and etc… In order for that to take place, our income and savings must beat inflation. So we must figure out how to allocate our savings so they can at least keep up with inflation, that applies to our pay raise too. By a mere 3% pay raise, technically you are worst off aka poorer that last year…
That’s one of the main reason I enjoy property investment. Inflation is actually to my favour:)
