Experts say there are great property deals in Malaysia, where there’s a better value than neighboring countries because of the weak ringgit and a general economic slowdown.
“Property in Malaysia is actually reasonably affordable still, compared to other countries,” said Derek Uittenbroek, who runs the website PropertyLife and is an investor in the Malaysian real estate market himself. “The final icing on the cake is the fact that the Singapore dollar, U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, Japanese yen and to some extent even the British pound and euro are either at, or close to, all-time highs against the ringgit.”
