Malaysia\u2019s housing and local government minister\u00a0announced\u00a0that a total of 27,468 new homes valued at MYR18.4 billion (USD4.3 billion)\u00a0haven’t been sold in Q1 2021 thus far, reported Free Malaysia Today<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reezal Merican Naina Merican told Dewan Rakyat that the homeownership programme was anticipated to remain slow till the end of this year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The slowdown is attributed to several factors,\u00a0including\u00a0a mismatch in supply and demand, location, pricing, and the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Merican also added that the market value of homes also depends on the rising land cost and construction material.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to how the state can avoid the ongoing mismatch between supply and demand and ensure affordable housing, the ministry will use big data analytics to obtain on-ground pictures and seek ways to reduce the number of unsold units.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the ministry will\u00a0investigate\u00a0comprehensive housing policies at federal and state levels to boost homeownership, as well as implement measures that guide developers to submit feasibility studies to avoid supply and demand mismatches.<\/span><\/p>\n
