Malaysia’s Property Market Slows Amid Challenges

Malaysia’s property market shows signs of slowing in 2025, with a 12% drop in loan applications and an 8% decline in approvals. Despite developers’ 5% earnings growth in the end of 2024, challenges persist, including over 30,000 unsold units in Kuala Lumpur, Johor, and Perak. Rising interest rates add pressure. We explore strategies and top picks with Jessica Low, Senior Analyst at MIDF Research.
