Summary of Key Findings

Key Findings Sentiment on Property Prices & Transactions The property affordability sentiment index for Q1 2012 is 2.5 on a scale of 5, compared to 2.7 in our Q4 2011 survey and 2.4 in Q1 2011. An index of 2.5 shows, compared to Q4, consumers perceive property as becoming unaffordable. However, compared to a year ago (2.4), sentiment towards affording property has remained almost steady.
(*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)

65% of respondents feel all property types in Malaysia are expensive, compared to the 60% in Q4 2011 and almost similar to the 66% in Q1 2011. This shows that perception towards affording property has almost remained the same compared to the same period last year. 46% respondents from Southern Malaysia perceive property across all sectors as affordable compared to 33% from Northern Malaysia and 25% from Klang Valley. Apartments/condominiums and terrace house believed to be the most affordable and popular property. Similar to Q4, an average of 44% respondents feel this way now compared to 39% in Q1 2011. This indicates an improvement in affordability perception. 45% respondents from Southern Malaysia perceive apartments/condominiums are affordable compared to 36% in Northern Malaysia and 39% in Klang Valley. 61% respondents from Southern Malaysia perceive terrace houses are affordable compared to 42% in Northern Malaysia and 30% in Klang Valley. 34% perceive commercial property reasonable, compared to 38% in Q4 2011. 42% respondents from Southern Malaysia perceive commercial property as affordable compared to 31% in Northern Malaysia and 26% in Klang Valley.

 72% feel property prices will increase in the next 6 months, compared to 61% in Q4 2011 and 71% in Q1 2011. 64% respondents, compared to 57% in Q4 2011, believe the number of property transactions would increase in the next six months. Owing to the various housing policies, demand is expected to grow. Due to rise in demand, respondents expect transactions to increase in turn leading to price increase. Apartments/condominiums and terrace houses are the most popular property types. More than half the respondents feel transactions and hence prices for apartments/condominiums and terrace houses will increase up to 10%. 40% of the potential first time buyers are renting their current place of residence due to unaffordable property prices, 20% hold unreliable financing options as the main reason. Key Findings Impact of Government Measures and Buying Intentions 60% respondents want the government to do more to keep property prices in Malaysia affordable, compared to 55% in Q4 2011 and 69% in Q1 2011. 55% of bumiputeras want effective government actions. Overall 65% respondents with a household income of RM5,000 - RM10,000 think the government is not doing enough to keep property prices in Malaysia affordable compared to 55% from respondents with household income above RM15,000. 33% respondents compared to 35% in Q4 are willing to upgrade their existing property in the next 12 months. Almost 70% of these respondents in the high income group (above RM5,000 per month) would upgrade to either

apartments/condominiums or terrace houses. 50% would probably buy another property in the country, compared to 47% in Q4. 13% of respondents in the high income group are interested in overseas investment, compared to 18% in Q4. The 5% dip maybe due to the stricter measures for foreigners in the Asia Pacific region is a probable reason.
5

Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, India, and China (Mainland China/Hong Kong/Macau) are top destinations of choice.

Other Findings 63% agree 'build then sell' (BTS) system is an effective housing policy. The policy ensures that property buyers pay only 10% upon signing the sales and purchase (S&P) agreement and their housing loans are not drawn down until after the property is handed over to them. 56% of first timers and 66% of bumiputeras agree to the policy. 66% respondents agree that developers should release intended bumiputeras units/lots sooner to other buyers should there be insufficient response after extensive advertising and promotion. 62% first time buyers agree on this, whereas only 37% of bumiputeras agree to this. 80% respondents agree that they are facing affordability issues due to relocating to urban localities with higher housing costs, wherein they are required to spend more than 25% -30% of their monthly household income on housing matters. Almost 30% respondents with monthly household income above RM 2,000 said they spend more than 20% of it towards mortgage loan. Johor Bahru and George Town are expected to become the next residential hotspots in the country.

Introduction
Malaysia Property Sentiment Survey First Quarter (Q1) of 2012 PropertyGuru conducted its fifth Quarterly Malaysia 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 intend for the survey to help consumers and property agents gain a better perspective of the property market, make an informed decision on which sectors are doing well and take note of which hot areas to watch out for.

Research Objectives The Q1-2012 Malaysia Property Sentiment Survey covers the following important aspects: Concerns regarding 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 and overseas. Opinion on the governments housing interventions and home financing policies.

Research Methodology The research was commissioned by PropertyGuru.com.my and managed by a research team comprising of members from PropertyGuru and independent parties. Number of households in Malaysia is 6,578,500. A total of 2,134 respondents were surveyed online, with 95% confidence and 2.1% error level.

Q1 2012 Property Affordability Sentiment Index

Property sentiment index shows that consumers perceive properties to be affordable.

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 Q1 2012 is 2.5 on a scale of 5, compared to 2.7 in our Q4 2011 survey and 2.4 in Q1 2011. An index of 2.5 shows, compared to Q4, consumers perceive property as becoming unaffordable. However, compared to a year ago, sentiment towards property has remained almost steadily unaffordable.

10

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. 65% of respondents feel all property types in Malaysia are expensive, compared to 60% in Q4 2011 and almost similar to 66% in Q1 2011. 72% feel property prices will increase in the next six months, compared to 61% in Q4 2011 and 71% in Q1 2011. Owing to the introduction of several 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. 64% respondents, compared to 57% in Q4 2011, believe the number of property transactions would increase in the next six months. More than half of the respondents in Malaysia give property investment high priority. Sentiments across six types of properties (bungalows, apartments/condominium, semi-detached house, terrace house and commercial property) have been recorded. The following are the categories we have used to derive the overall property sentiment index for Q1 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

Data results of Key Findings

Apartment/Condominiums are Most Affordable
How would you characterise the current property prices in Malaysia? Key note: 3% decrease in perception towards affordability. Majority feel property across the country expensive.

Highlights: 65% of respondents feel all property types in Malaysia are expensive, compared to 60% in Q4 2011 and almost similar to the 66% in Q1 2011. This shows that perception towards affording property has almost remained unchanged when compared to the same period last year. Landed property such as terrace, bungalow and semi-detached houses are perceived to be more expensive indicated by an increase of 3-5% points as compared to in Q4-2011.

12

 Apartments/condominiums and terrace house are the most affordable property. Similar to Q4, an average of 44% respondents feel this way now compared to 39% in Q1 2011. This indicates an improvement in affordability perception. 45% respondents from Southern Malaysia perceive apartments/condominiums are affordable compared to 38% in Northern Malaysia and 39% in Klang Valley. 46% respondents from Southern Malaysia perceive property across all sectors as affordable compared to 33% from Northern Malaysia and 26% from Klang Valley. 61% respondents from Southern Malaysia perceive terrace houses are affordable compared to 42% in Northern Malaysia and 30% in Klang Valley. 34% perceive commercial property reasonable, compared to the 38% in Q4 2011. 42% respondents from Southern Malaysia perceive commercial property as affordable compared to 31% in Northern Malaysia and 26% in Klang Valley. The Malaysian Institute of Economic Research (MIER) expects the countrys gross domestic product (GDP) growth for 2012 to decelerate markedly to 3.7% due to external factors; however, the governments forecast is projected to be between 5%6%. Also, due to the high costs of food, housing, transportation, non-alcoholic beverages and public utilities, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) forecasted countrys inflation to remain between 2.5% and 3.0% for 2012.

13

Nevertheless, for 2012, Malaysias property market is seen to so far have an optimistic outlook based on the positive buying sentiment demand to own a 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 Peoples 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.

72% Feel Prices Will Increase, Compared To 62% In Q4

Based on the current market conditions, what do you think will happen to property prices over the next 6 months? Key Note: More feel prices would increase Less feel prices would decrease 16% feel prices will stay the same

n=2583 (Q4) n=2134 (Q1)

Highlights: 72% feel property prices will increase, compared to 62% in Q4 and 78% in Q1 2011. 16% feel prices will stay the same in the next six months. 71% respondents coming from Klang Valley and 80% from Northern Malaysia feel apartment/condominium prices will increase in the next six months. An average of 78% respondents coming from Klang Valley, Northern Malaysia and Southern Malaysia feel prices for terrace houses will increase in the next six months.
15

According to the latest statistics available from National Property Information Centre (NAPIC), the Malaysian House Price Index increased by 6.6% in Q4 2011 relative to Q4 2010 and declined by 0.5% relative to Q3 2011. Data from our survey shows majority feel prices will increase in the next six months, however the perception towards price increase has fallen by 6% y-o-y. The following table depicts property prices outlook for the next six months (Q1 2012 versus Q4 2011):

16

64% Feel Transactions Will Increase

Based on the current prices of property, what do you think will happen to property transactions over the next 6 months? Key note: More expect transactions to increase in the next six months.

n=2583 (Q4) n=2134 (Q1)

Highlights: 37% respondents feel transactions will stay the same or decrease, compared to 47% in Q4 and 39% in Q1 2011. 67%, 74% and 70% respondents from Klang Valley, Northern Malaysia and Southern Malaysia respectively feel apartment/condominium transactions will increase in the next 6 months. 71%, 77% and 73% respondents from Klang Valley, Northern Malaysia and Southern Malaysia respectively feel terrace house transactions will increase.

Owing to the various housing policies introduced by the government, increase in housing supply with the participation of more developers demand is expected to
17

grow. Due to rise in demand, respondents expect transactions to increase and thus hiked prices. The following table depicts property transactions outlook for the next six months (Q1 versus Q4):

High Property Prices Force Respondents to Rent

Please state the reason on why are you renting instead of owning your current property of residence. What factors do you consider prior to renting or purchasing a property? Key note: High property prices and unaffordability issues major reasons to rent.

For respondents who do not own their current property of residence and are renting the whole unit or a room, we asked their reasons for renting their current property of residence. The following are the highlights:
19

40% respondents rent due to unaffordable property prices. 68% first timers feel apartments/condominiums, semi-detached and terrace houses are expensive.

20% say home financing options are unreliable. With regards to this, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) since late 2010 has come up with stricter lending guidelines to help cool the property market, resulting in more cautious lending practices by banks in facilitating home buyers needs.

14% are not interested to invest in property and are looking for alternative options. 12% have recently relocated to their current place of residence and are not interested in buying property there. 8% say lack of information is a reason. 6% are waiting for suitable housing policies from the government.

Having asked survey participants what factors they consider prior to renting a property, highlights of their response include: Location (31%) and safety (18%) are the top priorities. 9% of respondents prioritise a favourable rental contract. Availability of infrastructure/amenities (18%) and design & construction (16%) are equally important. 8% respondents said a reliable real estate agent to depend upon while house hunting is an important factor. 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, proximity to transport nodes, entertainment and shopping centres as well as scenic views are among factors that create value for a property.

20

Almost 60% of Respondents Want Government to Do More

Do you think the government is doing enough to keep property prices in Malaysia affordable? Key Note: Majority are not happy with government actions. 9% fall in pessimism towards government actions y-o-y.

n=1764 (Q1/11) n=2583 (Q4) n=2134 (Q1/12)

Highlights: 69% want government to do more to keep prices affordable; less pessimism is seen compared to a year ago. 55% bumiputeras are unhappy with government actions. Almost 70% respondents from Klang Valley and 65% from Northern Malaysia feel there are insufficient government actions. Respondents from Southern Malaysia (48%) are less pessimistic towards government actions compared to those from other regions in the country. 33% are not sure on this.
21

The above results show that most respondents felt that the government is not doing enough to control housing prices. This is in line with other results from our survey that states majority of respondents felt that home prices are too expensive. However, in 2011, the Malaysian government has implemented housing policies such as My First Home Scheme and PR1MA to help the first time home buyers and young couples. The purpose of these housing policies is to support a stable and sustainable property market and affordable housing to the common man.

22

One third of Respondents Willing to Upgrade

Based on the current property prices in Malaysia, what would you do for the next 12 months? Key Note: More respondents adopt wait-and-see approach. Upgrading interest remains steady.

n=1764 (Q1/11) n=2583 (Q4) n=2134 (Q1/12)

Highlights: Percentage of respondents adopting a wait and see approach remains close to 66%. Almost similar to Q4, 33% in Q1 2012 are willing to upgrade their existing property in the next 12 months. Almost 70% of these respondents in the high income group (above RM 5,000 per month) would upgrade to either apartments/condominiums or terrace houses. 47% bumiputeras are willing to upgrade in the next 12 months compared to the 29% non-bumiputeras.

23

66% of respondents said they are neither downgrading nor upgrading, which could be interpreted as consumers adopting a wait-and-see attitude. Possible reasons include consumers bracing for a further price hikes and putting off their purchase until there is ample supply from the various housing policies that can help bring down prices. To investigate further, we asked these 66% respondents why they opt to neither upgrade nor downgrade.

n = 1390

Highlights: Affordability and uncertain market conditions main reasons for hesitation among investors. Out of the 66% not interested in upgrading or downgrading, 69% said it is because property prices are too expensive and are concerned about the uncertain market. 60% respondents from Southern Malaysia feel current property prices are too expensive and are concerned about the uncertain market conditions. 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. 38% of respondents are concerned about external and internal situations that might lead to market uncertainty. The current global market situations such as the on-going US and Eurozone financial crises might lead to negative buying sentiments and influence property investors to adopt a cautious approach.
24

13% Are Considering Investing Overseas

Would you consider purchasing property in the next 12 months? Key Notes: Majority respondents want to invest in property in Malaysia. Klang Valley residents more interested in overseas investment.

n=2134

Highlights: 13% of respondents are interested in overseas investment. (Q3: 18%) Out of the 18% interested in investing overseas, almost 46% are from Klang Valley, 12% are from Southern Malaysia and 10% are from Northern Malaysia. 13% of respondents in the high income group (above RM 5,000 per month) are interested in overseas investment, compared to the 18% in Q4. 50% would probably buy another property in the country, compared to the 47% in Q4. 56% of first time buyers are looking to purchase property in the country. The above results show that majority respondents are interested in purchasing property in Malaysia. Almost half 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
25

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. Following table shows most popular property investment destinations for Malaysians:

When jobs are increasingly concentrated in areas of higher housing costs i.e. major cities and towns in Malaysia, there is a growing trend where households are experiencing an affordability problem, as these households spend more than 25 percent (for rent) to 30 percent (for mortgage repayments) of their gross monthly income on housing.

28

IV.

Where in Malaysia holds potential to become the next residential hotspot?

Key Notes: Johor Bahru and George Town: future hotspots

Highlights: George Town and Johor Bahru expected to be the next hotspots. 33% from Klang Valley feel that Kajang will be the next hot spot for property investment. Almost 60% respondents residing outside Malaysia feel Johor Bahru is the next hot spot for investment.

As of 2004, a few townships have been developed in Kajang, such as Taman Prima Saujana (straight from Jalan Cheras), Sungai Chua, Taman Kajang Perdana (Kajang Highlands) .
