Initiatives to Assist Home Buyers (Sept 2019)

Malaysian house prices continued to increase at a more moderate pace, especially in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor and Penang. House price growth was supported mainly by sustained demand for more affordable properties, while activity in the higher priced condominiums and apartments remained weak.

Some signs of market recovery were observed in the first quarter of 2019 as housing transactions both in terms of volume and value recorded sharp increases.

Housing transactions were largely driven by houses priced below RM300,000, reflecting continued demand for affordable housing across most states. Demand for housing was also boosted by various public and private sector initiatives to lower housing costs (as below).
