Steady Population Growth in Malaysia Boosts Residential Real Estate’s Demand

Everyone knows real estate investing is all about supply and demand. Hence, population growth is an important factor in analyzing current and future demand for real estate, especially residential and commercial rental properties as investment purposes.

Below is an interesting finding from economics expert:

For every increase in population of 3 to 5 persons, a new house is needed

HOW DOES POPULATION GROWTH AFFECT YOUR REAL PROPERTY INVESTMENT?

As we noticed, property hotspots are usually crowded. More people mean more demand for own staying/rental housing and business activities like shopping center, offices and service providers. It boosts the value of properties. In other words, real estate was built for people, so the demand for real estate is increased proportional to population growth.

So far, I’m optimistic on the real estate investing in Malaysia with the steady population growth, healthy birth rate and death rate as reported in theSun newspaper.
