If you are property investor what is your next move?

Hi all, this is Freeman Woo, property negotiator (aka Property Agent) in Malaysia mainly focus in Mont Kiara. Today I write this is want to record down what investor planning now during this Covid-19 pandemic moment. Market slow? FEAR, SELL FAST, PANIC, WAIT TO BUY AFTER MOTORIUM or what??!! For myself I think as an agent the most valuable resources we have is the first hand news, knowing what is the real time movement in the market because we will talk, meet with a lot a lot of house owners, tenants, buyers and investors, witness all transactions. So what happening now? A lot of buyers sourcing good deal property. Seller consolidate their property portfolio.... 2018 - 2019, a lot of unsold developer unit, but HOC campaign 10% discount and waive MOT attract a lot of first time home buyers. 18th March 2020 MCO
