Kuala Lumpur, 9 June 2021: According to MyProperty Data, Malaysia’s largest online property data company under PropertyGuru, investors make up a majority of residential property purchases in the Klang Valley in 2020 at 81.1%, and they are increasingly turning their attention towards subsale properties. 

Joe Hock Thor, Managing Director, MyProperty Data shared, “The subsale residential property market in Malaysia has seen steady growth in the last few years, and this upward trend is further accelerated by the effects of the pandemic. There is a rise in overall interest in the secondary market as some property owners are selling their assets at lower prices to maintain liquidity, creating opportunities for investors to acquire them below market value. The Real Property Gains Tax exemption has also driven some investors to cash in their existing assets and make a profit. This is reflected in the spike in the average number of subsale listings tracked on PropertyGuru.com.my, which grew by 21.3% between 2019 to 2021.”
