Over the last 20 years, there have seen some significant changes in the Malaysian property industry. First, the standards of quality and design have improved significantly with attention to detail on the quality of material and construction. These improved standards, combined with the generally low prices of real estate in Malaysia, and the fact that prices are on an upward trend, makes Malaysian property an incredibly attractive investment.  Second, the Malaysian government is now actively encouraging foreigners to buy property in Malaysia under the Malaysia My Second Home initiative. In the past, they have placed restrictions on foreign purchasers where there is no limit to the number of residential properties a foreigner can buy if the purchase price exceeds RM 1 million (approx. USD 241K) in the majority of Malaysia’s fourteen states and territories. But, the in the recent Budget 2020 announcement, the Government will reduce the threshold on high rise property prices in urban areas for foreign ownership from RM 1 million to RM 600,000 in 2020 (approx. USD 241K to 145K).

Even though the property market has slowed down a bit, there are still many home buyers who are still shopping around since there are more choices and varieties to choose from. However, there are some important factors to consider when choosing a property to invest in such as the price and the location of the property. If the property is situated in a prime locality, it will command a better selling price and rental yield.
