A total of 2,156 respondents comprising PropertyGuru.com.my users responded to the online survey which was conducted from 13th June to 6th July 2012. Findings from the Q2 2012 survey generally indicate towards Malaysian properties becoming less affordable, though with the slightest decrement of 0.1 on the sentiment index when compared to last quarter’s results (Q1 2012). On another interesting note, following the government’s announcement of possibly raising the minimum threshold price of residential properties for foreigners from RM500,000 to RM1 million, as many respondents feel this will help improve property affordability in Malaysia as those who don’t think the move will affect much or any effect on the industry.

Johor Bahru, George Town and Kajang are expected to become the next residential hotspot in the country.

Introduction

Malaysia Property Sentiment Survey – Second Quarter of 2012 (Q2 2012)

PropertyGuru Malaysia conducted its 6th Quarter Property Sentiment Survey with

the aim of providing its members, partners and users with insights into the needs of

consumers and expectations on the property market in Malaysia.

PropertyGuru hopes the survey will help consumers and property agents gain a

better perspective of the property market, make an informed decision on which

sectors are doing well and the hot areas to watch out for.

Research Objectives

The Q2 2012 property sentiment survey covers the following important aspects:

Concerns with current property (bungalows, apartments/condominiums, semi-

detached houses, terrace houses, commercial properties) prices, rentals and

transactions.

Buying intention for the next 12 months in Malaysia/Overseas

Opinion on the Government’s housing policies.

Research Methodology

Q2 2012 Property Affordability Sentiment Index

Property sentiment index shows that consumers perceive properties becoming

unaffordable.

Index explanation: On a scale of 5, neutral score is set at 2.5. If < 2.5, it is considered negative and if

> 2.5 it is considered positive.

The property affordability sentiment index for Q2 2012 is 2.4 on a scale of 5,

compared to 2.5 in our Q1 2012 survey and 2.1 in Q2 2011. An index of 2.4 shows,

compared to Q1, consumers perceive property as becoming unaffordable. However,

10

compared to a year ago, sentiment towards property has shifted to be becoming

affordable.

The high point in sentiment towards affordability was noted in Q3 2011 after the

government had introduced two housing policies, namely PR1MA and the My First

Home Scheme.

74%, which is almost similar to the 73% in Q2 2011, of respondents feel all property

types in Malaysia are expensive, compared to the 65% in Q1 2012.

70% feel property prices will increase in the next six months, compared to the 72% in

Q1 2012 and 86% in Q2 2011. Owing to the introduction of various housing policies

with targeted measures, demand is expected to grow. Due to rise in demand and the

supporting lower interest rates, respondents expect transactions to increase, leading

to price increase. 68% respondents, compared to the 64% in Q1 2012, believe the

number of property transactions would increase in the next six months.

Three in five people (60%) in Malaysia give property investment a high priority.

Sentiments across six types of properties (bungalows, apartments/condominium,

semi-detached house, terrace house and commercial property) have been recorded.

Following are the categories we have used to derive the overall property sentiment

index for Q2 2012:

Sentiment on current property prices in Malaysia

Buying intentions for the next 12 months in Malaysia and overseas

Property pricing and transactions forecast

Importance of property investment to the respondents

The Malaysian Institute of Economic Research (MIER) expects the country’s GDP

growth for 2012 to decelerate markedly to 3.7% due to external factors; however, the

government’s forecast is projected to be between 5%-6%. Also, due to the high costs

of food, housing, transportation, non-alcoholic beverages and public utilities, the

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) forecasted country’s inflation to remain between 2.5

per cent and 3.0 per cent for 2012.

To investigate further on property prices, we asked respondents overall how would

they characterise the residential property market in the country.

13

82% respondents said residential property prices in Malaysia are expensive and only

18% said they are affordable. Following are the detailed results with their responses:

Nevertheless, for 2012, Malaysia’s property market shows an optimistic outlook

based on a positive buying sentiment demand to own home and need for housing.

Also, the favourable interest rate (current base lending rate [BLR] is 6.6%)

environment, healthy employment market and the fact that property investments are

a proven reliable asset class will continue to sustain and drive the property sector.

The residential property sub-sector is expected to spearhead the property market

and construction activity. The government announced the building of another 7,700

units of affordable homes, especially for middle income group, in Cyberjaya, Putra

Heights, Seremban, Damansara and Bukit Raja through the 1Malaysia People’s

Housing (PR1MA) scheme. Development in the various regional economic corridors

and Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley would continue to give positive impacts on

property development and the market in the coming years.

High property Prices force Respondents to Rent

Please state the reason on why are you renting instead of owning your current

What factors do you consider prior to renting or purchasing a property?

Key note:

High property prices and unaffordability issues major reasons to rent

Responses: 807

20

To those respondents who do not own their current property of residence and are

renting the whole unit or a room, we asked the reasons for renting their current

property of residence. The discovered highlights are as follows:

38% respondents rent due to unaffordable property prices. 88% first timers

feel residential property in the country is expensive. 10% say high incidental

costs such as higher stamp duty, lawyer’s fee, etc. are also major concerns.

15% are waiting for suitable housing policies from the government.

8% say home financing options are unreliable. With regards to this, Bank

Negara Malaysia (BNM) has since late 2010 come up with stricter lending

guidelines to help cool the property market, resulting in more careful in

lending by banks to help facilitate home buyers.

8% are not interested to invest in property as they are looking for alternative

options.

16% have recently relocated to their current place of residence and are not

interested in buying property there.

6% say lack of information is a reason. www.propertyguru.com.my provides

latest news and updates to help keep homebuyers well equipped with

property market.

We asked the respondents what factors they consider prior to renting or buying a

property. The discovered highlights are as follows:

Location and safety (27%) are the top priorities.

9% of respondents will go for a favourable rental contract.

Infrastructure/amenities (16%) and design & construction (15%) are almost

equally important.

5% respondents said a reliable real estate agent to depend upon while house

hunting is an important factor.

Responses: 7036

21

When searching for homes, location is an important factor. Identical properties in

different locations can differ in value due to locational differences. Being in a prime

region with prospective development areas, near transport nodes, near

entertainment and shopping centres, and scenic views are just some factors that

create value for a property.

The primary criterion for selecting a reliable agent is to go for an experienced real

estate agent. The advantage of looking for a professional real estate agent is that

they have plenty of experience and can understand a customer’s needs better. They

are efficient in making a quality transaction as they can help the investor find exactly

what one wants within a specific budget or help sell a property for a high price that a

customer could not have imagined.

www.propertyguru.com.my offers more than 110,000 property listings from a huge

directory of over 3,500 experienced property agents as members and we have a

system in place to moderate their activities. To check the authenticity of the agents,

before they register on our website to post their listings, they have to go through and

abide by the content guidelines laid down by our website.

One fourth Respondents Willing to Upgrade

Based on the current property prices in Malaysia, what would you do for the

next 12 months?

Upgrading interest see a sharp decline y/y.

7% in Q2.

29% will upgrade to apartment/condo

23% will upgrade to semi-detached house

Close to one-fourth of the respondents who are willing to upgrade, also feel

property prices in the country are expensive.

n=2182 (Q2/11) n=2134 (Q1/12) n=2156 (Q2/12)

23

73% of respondents said they are neither downgrading nor upgrading, which could

be interpreted as consumers adopting a “wait-and-see” attitude. To investigate

further, we asked these 73% respondents why they opt to neither upgrade nor

downgrade. Following are the results:

Do Nothing

Properties are overpriced 18%

Property prices are rising 16%

Foresee prices to further decrease/increase 14%

Unpredictable market prices 12%

Property in Malaysia is unaffordable 11%

Lack of good financing options 8%

Unsure as a buyer, prices are going up but happy as a seller

7%

Government policies are unfavourable to me 7%

Competition with foreigners 4%

Properties are poorly designed 2%

This survey asked 25% of the respondents who are willing to upgrade, what are the

reasons behind their purchase intentions. Following are the results:

Upgrade

Property prices are rising 29%

Foresee prices to further decrease/increase 24%

Properties are well developed 11%

Good financing options 10%

Unpredictable market prices 10%

Unsure as a buyer, prices are going up but happy as a seller

8%

Competition with foreigners 4%

Government policies are favourable to me 3%

24

The above results show price is a major factor affecting buying decisions despite the

introduction of new housing policies by the government and the current low interest

rates environment. Respondents’ sentiments show that despite government

interventions, there is a significant level of price sensitivity between demand and

supply in the housing market.

22% of responses indicate a concern towards external and internal situations that

might lead to market uncertainty. The current global market situations such as the

on-going US and Eurozone financial crisis might lead to negative buying sentiments

and influence property investors to adopt a cautious approach.

25

21% are considering to Invest Overseas

Would you consider purchasing property in the next 12 months?

Key Notes:

Majority respondents (79%) intend to invest in property in Malaysia.

Klang Valley and Southern Malaysia residents more interested in

overseas investment.

Valley, 17% are from Southern Malaysia and 14% are from Northern

Malaysia.

85% of these 21% respondents who are willing to invest overseas are in the

high income group (above RM 5,000 per month).

77% would probably buy another property in the country, compared to the

50% in Q1.

86% of first time buyers are looking to purchase property in the country.

n=2156

26

The above results show that majority respondents are interested in purchasing

property in Malaysia. Almost 80% of the respondents are unlikely to buy foreign real

estate in the coming year. This is an interesting finding as more people now look

forward to buying property within the country. The probable reason for this could be

more upcoming projects coming in prime locations and the government

implementing more housing polices to help the genuine buyer.

Also, other factors that might be responsible for this decision include implementation

of stricter policies overseas for foreign buyers in the region, the higher property

prices overseas, more cash needed for down payments and the current global

economic conditions.
