Housing affordability remains a concern for Malaysia and there is a growing mismatch between supply and demand. Affordability needs to be examined not just through the lens of price and income, but also the connectivity and access to amenities of affordable developments. The future supply of affordable homes should match the requirements of buyers and strike a balance between the cost of supply and the value of demand.
