Despite the ongoing pandemic, investors have made advances on their property\u00a0portfolios\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to FMT<\/a>, a recent study showed that\u00a0investor transactions had increased by 38 percent, with 82 percent of all completed transactions in 2020 attributed to investors,\u00a0signaling a positive outlook for\u00a0Malaysia\u2019s\u00a0property market\u00a0this year.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Siva Shanker, chief executive officer of Rahim & Co\u00a0International Property Consultants, believes that it is typical to see a drop in transactions when a pandemic breaks out.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the industry leaders \u2013 the risk-takers \u2013 start buying again, herd mentality kicks in and as more people buy properties, the market moves. That\u2019s exactly how the market fluctuates,\u201d he said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Siva expects a sharp increase this year as COVID-19 is contained, and the vaccine rollout will drive economic recovery. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of pent-up demand from investors, investment houses and people who refrained from investing last year. Now, we\u2019re into another lockdown with no end in sight, but generally, people are less spooked now compared to the first lockdown. It\u2019s not such a bad situation, but it will stifle demand.\u201d <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahyat Ishak, Pejuang Hartanah’s founder, insisted that there are many opportunities waiting to be seized. However, he cautions potential investors and homebuyers to first reflect on these three financial situation aspects \u2013 personal finances, family, and team (business).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAre you in a position of \u2018survive\u2019 or \u2018thrive\u2019? Crisis is about danger and opportunity. First, we need to keep ourselves safe from danger, only then can we talk about grabbing opportunities,\u201d he stated.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the market\u2019s high supply and low prices, 2021 is considered a good year for property investment.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahyat\u00a0advised,\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s an absolutely great year to buy your first home, as well as upgrade and invest. The timing of the market is perfect. Just like buying stocks, it is best to buy when prices are low.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Siva also had a similar viewpoint, suggesting buyers with the financial capacity to begin investing now rather than wait for 2022, as prices could increase by two to five percent.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
