Investors upbeat about Malaysian property

BY EUGENE MAHALINGAM

MIDF Research said Malaysian property sales are poised to grow in 2017 after three consecutive months of year-on-year (y-o-y) increase in approved loans.

“Based on Bank Negara’s monthly statistical bulletin for March 2017, approved loans for the purchase of property has increased 3% y-o-y to RM11.43bil.

“The increase is mainly driven by the 20% increase in loan applications, which implies that demand has improved significantly.”

Rebalancing the housing market

BY THEAN LEE CHENG

Around the city and the suburbs, most high-rise units cost about RM1mil. Some of them remain untenanted and unoccupied for up to three years. While owners try to rent or sell their units, developers are also struggling to sell their completed units.


According to the National Property Information Centre’s (Napic) latest Property Market Status Report for the first quarter of 2017 (1Q17), launched units of condominiums totalled about 30,000. It comprises a third of total residentials launched.

A cumulative figure, it includes units launched for the quarter under review and from previous quarters.

About 5,000 units remained unsold, double that of a year ago, when there were 15,000 condominiums launched.


Serviced apartments are excluded. Starting 2016, Napic excluded serviced apartments from the residential sector. Serviced apartments are built on commercial land and are now categorised as commercial properties.

A third of the total residential overhang, or 28%, are condominiums.


According to Socio-Economic Research Centre executive director Lee Heng Guie: “After two years of decline (-12.8% in 2014 and -4.2% in 2015 respectively), total residential overhang surged 30.7% to 14,792 units at the end of 2016.”

This 14,792 units exclude the overhang situation in serviced apartments, which, since 2016, have been considered as commercial properties. If serviced apartments were included, the overhang in terms of units/ringgit value would be higher.

Lee says 1Q17 saw completed but unsold residential units totalling 17,809, a rise of 45.2% compared to the same period a year ago (12,268 units).

More homes come under the hammer

Analysing a slew of data from the National Property Information Centre, Lee says between 2012 and 2015, the incoming supply of residential units expanded by 10.7% per annum in 2012-15 and continued to grow by 8.2% in 2016.


Data from online auctions listings platform Auctionguru.com showed that the number of auctioned residential properties rose 14.4% to 6,225 cases in the first quarter of 2017, compared to 5,442 cases a year ago.

In terms of value, it jumped 31.4% to RM1.8bil in the first quarter of 2017 from RM1.37bil in the same period a year ago.

Property market will be badly hit in 2018, says expert

Unsold completed residential units rose by 40% to 20,807 units in the first half of 2017 compared with the same period last year.


“Previously, house buyers needed to pay 10% as deposit. Today, the situation is different. Developers are in a desperate situation.

“That is why they are allowing buyers to pay 1% of the property price and pay the remainder upon completion,” he said.

They are in danger of losing their bridging finance from banks if they fail to sell at least 40% of the total units.

Markets will crash within 24 to 30 months.

Developers who started building two years ago are expected to flood the market further.

About RM16 billion of properties are waiting for buyers. But there is no demand.

Findings by the Employees Provident Fund show that 89% of Malaysians earn RM5,000 and below a month.
