Real Estate in Malaysia

Most analysts agree that real estate in Malaysia offers competitively priced property with sustainable growth potential. The government is long serving and has actively encouraged tourism and inward investment – GDP growth in 2004 was over 7% and the infrastructure is modern and comprehensive.

Investors typically focus in 2 areas - the corporate rental market in the major cities (most notably, Kula Lumpur) and the popular beach resorts. Both options offer real estate built to a high quality and vary from modern condominiums to luxury vacation villas. In addition, the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board is successfully developing Malaysian Brands in order to maintain tourism growth. Rental returns in the hotspots currently average between 6-10% per annum.
