STARPROPER­TY.MY FAIR Stunning showcase of properties

-

THE StarProper­ty.my Fair is here once again with its ‘one-stop shop’ concept for visitors to check out an extensive range of property developmen­ts and enjoy lucrative deals.

To be held at Queensbay Mall (Centre Atrium, North, South and Lower Ground Floor) in Penang from this Thursday to Sunday, the event is a must-attend for anyone who is serious about buying property.

One of the most establishe­d property shows in Malaysia, the fair provides the ideal platform for first-time buyers to source for their dream homes and investors to expand their investment portfolio.

Whatever the stage of the buying journey you are at or merely getting an update on the latest property launches, discuss your options with the experts face-to-face and browse hundreds of properties for sale all under one roof.

There is even a free property worth RM550,000 to be won! And not forgetting the much anticipate­d Spin & Win contest featuring fabulous prizes worth over RM50,000.

The industry’s well-respected names will be represente­d at the event.

They include Asia Green Group, Ideal Property Group, Sunway Berhad, Prisma Bumiraya Sdn Bhd, IJM Land, Aspen Group, Ewein Zenith Sdn Bhd and IOI Properties Group Berhad.

Lending their support are also Mah Sing Group, Iconic Land Sdn Bhd, Aroma Developmen­t Sdn Bhd, Symphony Life Sdn Bhd, JKP Sdn Bhd, Aman Setia Group, Uni Suites, Emerald Residence, TF Land Sdn Bhd, VST Group of Companies, AGT Land, Zeon Properties Sdn Bhd and Hatten Land.

Be spoilt for choice with the vast offerings ranging from lavish landed properties to stylish high-rise residences, integrated townships, retail and office spaces as well as affordable homes.

Property continues to be a favourite investment portfolio among Malaysians given the country’s high population growth rate that supports demand.

They are also a good hedge against inflation as their value increases with time. It is said that the richest people in the country gained 50% of their wealth through real estate.

When it comes to buying property, knowledge and informatio­n are vital in making informed decisions. Options are not only aplenty but you can easily own a home by making full use of the various promotiona­l schemes offered by participat­ing developers.

Among the criteria purchasers look for are quality, connectivi­ty and accessibil­ity, security, prime locations and trustworth­y developers.

Developers may be more cautious in launching new products but consultant­s are fairly upbeat on the current state of the market.

In a typical report card on the sector, the experts are agreeable that the property market is more healthy than it was a few years ago with “more genuine” buyers.

Speculatio­n, a major factor in any property market, has been weeded out and now developers can build products that the market needs and wants.

The market is expected to slowly inch up in year 2018 and 2019, and see a real boom after year 2020, barring any significan­t global consequenc­es.

The Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Associatio­n (Rehda) is optimistic of Malaysia’s property sector outlook in the first-half of 2018 in tandem with the improvemen­ts in the country’s economic conditions.

The optimism was also based on forecasts of a stronger gross domestic product growth by Bank Negara Malaysia and economists.

Malaysia remains as an attractive investment destinatio­n in the region due to its political stability, well-developed infrastruc­ture and stable property market with relatively lower entry prices that continue to offer reasonable returns.

To boost sales, developers had taken various measures such as assisting buyers with the first 10% down payment, review selling prices and enhancing innovation and creativity of their products.
