The property market is shifting fast!! Here are 4 trends developers should keep an eye on:
1️⃣ Build-to-Rent (BTR)
Still emerging locally, but rising affordability pressures is making rental-driven solutions increasingly attractive for millennials, Gen Z, and retirees.
2️⃣ Quality over Quantity
Buyers are more discerning: 70% of developers say customers prioritise sustainability, smart features, and livability over just price.
3️⃣ Geographical Diversification
Growth is no longer KL-centric, a total red ocean. Johor led the nation with a 59% jump in transactions in 2024, while Melaka and Negeri Sembilan saw double-digit price increases.
4️⃣ Financing Headwinds
56% of developers held back launches in H2 2024 due to rising costs but unsold inventory fell 10.3% in volume and 21.2% in value, hinting at improving fundamentals.
👉 Bottom line: Developers who embrace quality, diversify regionally, and adapt financing strategies will be best positioned to capture opportunities in 2025.
