FOLLOWING a marked slowdown in demand for property in Iskandar Malaysia, property players expect further signs of a slowdown in the second half of the year, when marginal investors begin to take delivery of their units, especially those in the high-rise luxury segment.
Johor is expected to face a housing glut, the result of developers launching numerous projects in response to unprecedented demand; Chinese developers, in particular, have been aggressively pumping out units by the thousands.
