New year, new home? Looking for new properties to kick-start your 2015 investments? But how will the market fare in 2015? First, let’s take a look back at 2014.
The property market was relatively static during the first quarter of 2014, showing a downward trend even. Major trading hotspots like Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang and Johor also recorded declines in transaction volumes, although properties for residential use accounted for 70% of total trading volume. In terms of value, there were less properties that transacted below RM300,000. In contrast, those in the RM500,000 to a million range topped the list.
What about 2015 then?
The demand for residential properties in major cities is still high. However, the question is, will investors who adopted the wait-and-see attitude in 2013 and 2014 finally make an aggressive move this year? Analysts believe that with the implementation of the Goods & Services Tax (GST) starting 1st April 2015 as well as stricter housing loans, the real estate market in Malaysia will enter a brief cooling period.
But what if you still want to make property investments this year?
For those who want to buy a property for live in, a new home, for instance, then 2015 is a year full of opportunities. Whether it’s a new property, an auction lot, sub-sale or used lot, you will find that there will be many choices available. Just remember to do your homework before making any purchases. You must clearly understand your own needs, pay attention to the different properties there are, and view the available show units. Most importantly, you shouldn’t act rashly or be affected by others. Always do your own research. After all, when it comes to property investment, no one knows your preferences and requirements better than yourself.
想不想知道在刚刚过去的2014年，本地房地产的情况是如何的呢？是属于比较静的吗？让我们一起来看看数据吧！2014年第一季度的行情属于比较静，各类房产的交易都呈下降的趋势。各大交易热点城市如吉隆坡、雪兰莪、槟城、柔佛的房产交易量也一样呈下降趋势。全国房产交易仍然以住宅产业为主，占了总交易量的百份之七十。价格30万以下的产业越来越少，反而是价格介于50万至100万之间的产业最为畅销。
那么，2015年伊始，房地产的行情又会是如何呢？
其实在一线城市，住宅产业的要求依然偏高。那些在2013和2014年采取观望态度的投资者，会否在今年入场呢？专家认为，马来西亚的房地产在2015年4月1日消费税的实行之后，复加上银行严格控制贷款的发放，将会进入一段短暂的冷周期。
想要在2015年投资房地产的人们，又有些什么事项时需要特别注意的呢？
对于那些想要购买房产以作自住用途的人来说，2015是充满机会的一年。无论是新产业拍卖市场或二手市场，都可寻得不错的产业。此外，在购买房产以前，做足功课显得重要，你必须清楚了解本身的需求，多留意不同的楼房，才可捷足先登，购得绝佳的产业。
最重要的是，投资产业，切忌轻举妄动或被人牵着鼻子走，而是应该做足功课，没有人比你自己更了解本身的能力与需求。
