The Malaysian property market has been steadily appreciating each year. According to annual data from the National Property Information Center, property prices increased by 24.6% over the 10-year period between 2014 and the second quarter of 2024, with growth observed every year.
Simultaneously, since the third quarter of 2024, the Kuala Lumpur Property Index has been continuously rising. Favourable factors include the advancement of carious large-scale construction projects and market stability, which help solidify the demand forproperties and accelerate market recovery.
Therefore, as house prices rise due to various factors, it confirms the principle that ‘buying a house can preserve value’.
In fact, Malaysia’s property prices stand out among many Asian countries, with an expected annual growth rate exceeding 4.5%. Kuala Lumpur—the nation’s capital—and Penang are popular areas for property investment.
Malaysia is not just a Southeast Asian country; it is also a tourism and transportation hub in the region, as well as an education center in Asia.
Malaysia property prices have enormous appreciation potential. This type of property mainly attracts investors whose primary purpose is investment. Given that real estate is a tangible investment, high-return investment properties are more readily accepted.
Education-oriented properties have suddenly emerged as an attractive property type for buyers in recent years. Parents often consider purchasing properties in school districts for the convenience of their children’s current or future overseas education.
Malaysia is an ideal place for retirement. This type of property has higher environmental requirements, including natural scenery and cultural care. It also has requirements for local medical conditions and convenience, as well as whether the holiday house design is suitable for the middle-aged and elderly.
Holiday properties are occupied for shorter periods, mainly for vacationing, leisure, relaxation, and family enjoyment. They are often located near mountains or seas and may have other supporting sports facilities such as golf courses.
