    2. Objectives of lecture Explain the concept of market Discuss the nature of property market Discuss the aspects of property market

    3. Main Topics What is market The types of properties Characteristics of land properties Types of property market Property market conduct & performance

    4. What is a market? A setting, an environment…? A place…? Buyers and sellers Those parties representing them…who are they? What they do basically?

    5. The types of properties Dwellings – standard new homes, in developments and elsewhere; not new but not yet obsolete; obsolete houses; special types such as town houses. Vacant land (agricultural, residential). Commercial properties – stores; shops; office; others. Industrial properties – factories; warehouse; logistic buildings. Agricultural/forestry properties. Natural resource property – mining (e.g. coal; gold; oil); quarries; aquaculture-based; others.

    6. Characteristics of land properties Immobility Durability Large amount of money involved Legality aspects Improvable by active management Differing income-value relationships Length of marketing

    7. Types of property market Perfect competition Imperfect competition * Oligopoly * Duopoly * Monopoly

    8. Conduct and performance: how the market behaves and how well it performs what the society and market participants are expecting of it Related to market perfection and imperfection. Pro-competitive conduct and anti-competitive conduct. Expected conduct: * serve the basic economic functions: facilitation of exchange, expansion or contracting of space, and land use allocation on a laissez faire basis. * Creating social and political stability through market activities (free or managed).

    9. ASPECTS OF REAL ESTATE MARKET CONDUCT AND PERFORMANCE Sectoral growth Stock market Capital gains Liquidity Investment performance Supply and demand Market competition GDP contribution of the real estate sector Real estate sector's contribution to employment Property investment Construction and transaction activities Property concentration Real estate price/value trend

    10. Growth in the Real Estate Sector

    11. GDP Contribution Moderate growth Reasons for it: * Slow start of construction of buildings, office space, commercial space, and high-cost condominiums (see Economic Report, 1997/1998). * [Low-cost housing, industrial, hotel and tourism projects were not affected by the slow start.] * Property levy; * Loan restriction by the Bank Negara; * Lengthy project approval.

    12. Share Indices, Risk, and Return

    13. Share Indices, Risk, and Return (contd.) Property share index relatively more vulnerable to macro changes compared to other indices such as those of plantation and industry. Negates the views that property asset price is relatively less vulnerable to changes in macro factors. Can share indices be used to investigate the macro "behaviour" of property market. Elements of the property market that may be influenced by: * share index? * price? * supply and demand? * rental? * capital appreciation? * rate of return? what? Are they influenced by changes in the share indices? Is stock market behaviour related to real estate market performance?

    14. Share Indices, Risk, and Return (contd.)

    15. Share Indices, Risk, and Return (contd.)

    16. Share Indices, Risk, and Return (contd.) Property asset sub-markets are correlated with each other. e.g. * Office & residential. * Office & retail * Office & industrial Back-to-back. Why?

    17. Share Indices, Risk, and Return (contd.)

    18. Share Indices, Risk, and Return (contd.) Performance of Malaysian residential property market based on risk-return Top three perfoming residential markets: * Kuala Lumpur, * Penang, * Selangor. Worst-performing market: Perlis. Why?

    19. Share Indices, Risk, and Return (contd.)

    20. Share Indices, Risk, and Return (contd.)

    21. Class Exercise Using the national data 1995-2004 from the Property Market Reports, measure the risk and return for these property categories. Comment on the investment performance of these properties. * Names start with A – F: Commercial/Retail * Names start with G – M: Office * Names start with N –P: Industrial * Names start with Q – Z: Agriculture

    22. Property Transaction Property concentration Situation in which the property market is dominated by a few main types of properties: * on the basis of production * on the basis of transaction. Concentration can also be analysed by: * property type, * price range, * geographic area. Concentration ratio: CR = Tj/TJ, Concentration percentage: CP = Tj/TJ x 100 where Tj is the number of property transfers of a given property type j and TJ is the total number of transfers of all property types, where j = 1,2,.., N=J.

    26. Per transfer value

    27. Fluctuation in real estate prices

    29. Fluctuation in real estate prices Housing: ? DD for housing supported by ? bank loan APTV ? very slowly over 1991-1995. APTV ? slightly: a result of ? price of conventional houses. Commercial: APTV ? end of 1993; Total value of transfer flattened during 1994-1995 APTV ? a result of ? prices of shop-houses. Industrial: ? total value of transfer but ? APTV Why? Agriculture: Stable, except 1994-1995 1994-95 larger proportion of agric. land into residential and commercial Speculative phenomenon

    30. Trend forecast of property value Regression analysis Scenario forecast. Key factors: * the likely level of demand; * inflation rate; * consumer price index; * index of stock market;lending rate; * private/public mechanism (e.g. likely amount of housing loan approved by lending * institutions in of residential sub-market).

    31. Measuring Performance Using Property Price Index House price index shows a consolidating market in 1996 Very slight fall in the percentage increase of prices of houses in Malaysia in 1996 Slightly increasing over the nine-year period. Increasing trend of per capita nominal income. In tandem with house prices. Price-income gap narrowing over 1994. Gap may continue of converge: Income ?, house prices ?.

    33. The 1997’s Experience DD for properties thrived in Malaysian major cities In 1995 about 3-5% voids in office and retail DD for real estate ? substantially Strong purchasing power of the people Escalating rents and capital values Rental multipliers of value of residential reached 400 in 1994-995 Property industry were overzealous Supporting factors: * continued growth of the economy, * increasing wealth of the nation, * period of super bull run in the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, * readily available and cheap credit facilities from the * financial institutions * flushing liquidity, * attractive yields.

    34. 1997-1998 characterised by a downturn after a 9-year 8.0% growth. Five factors of downturn (Lim, 1999): ? Bank and financial institutions did not press for market viability studies before lending out money. ? Property developers did not see the need for conducting such studies as long as banks were prepared to lend. ? Local authorities did not bother to keep track of the number of types of project approved and neither were they guided by updated structure plan; and local plans were often non-existent. ? Property buyers did not think twice before committing to a purchase. ? Nobody thought the property bubble would burst. The 1997’s Experience

    35. Economic crises invading some Asian countries People's purchasing power eroded. Banks troubled by Non Performing Loans (NPLs) (30% in the property sector). Rate of return from property investment ? Projects abandoned or put to a halt * funding difficulties * plus the already weak demand. The 1997’s Experience

    36. Interventions by Bank Negara Base lending rate was raised to 9-10% (New Straits Times, 6 November 1997, p. 26) Many businesses were closed or scaled down Workers laid off and branch offices sealed off Property sector “over-kill” * Already ceiling-high property prices * Weakening ringgit and problems related to it The 1997’s Experience

    37. In 1998-1999, property prices on a high plateau Demand for properties still could not be restored Measures to stimulate demand: * Government-supported Home Ownership Campaigns * Attractive loan packages: - 95% loan margin (inclusive of mortgage reducing term assurance - MRTA ); - zero-percent base lending rate; - low interest rate (e.g. 8.5% for the first two years); - free-interest loan for the first year; - rent-first-buy-then scheme; - waiver processing fees; - 10% discount for MRTA; - 15% discount for fire insurance premium for the first year; - free RM 10,000 personal accident insurance for one year, etc. The 1997’s Experience

    38. Property Value and Macro Factors Consider the following model: Tt = f(GNSt, PLt, LPt, IPt, BLt, SCt, PIt) T = total value of transfers (RM) in year t, (residential, commercial, industrial, agriculture, and other property categories); GNS = gross national savings (RM); PL = amount of loan (RM) approved by lending institutions to the property sector; LP = labour participation (%); IP = property price index; BL = base lending rate; SC = speculative control (total value accrued from property gains tax or imposition of levy on property purchase); PI = capita income; t denotes year.
