Sarawak's Property Market Continues Moving Forward Despite Rising Construction Costs - Dato Sim Kiang Chiok.

Good news for the Sarawak property industry. Although construction costs have increased due to higher fuel prices, transportation expenses, steel, cement, and imported building materials, the local property and construction sectors continue to operate steadily.

According to industry feedback, most projects across Sarawak remain on schedule, and there are currently no major shortages of key construction materials. Compared with the challenges experienced during the pandemic, the current situation is considered much more manageable.

🏡 What does this mean for buyers?

While developers may face higher construction costs, the market remains active and new developments are continuing as planned. Buyers can expect ongoing project launches and a stable supply of new homes, although construction costs may continue to influence future pricing if global conditions change.

As always, every project and location is different, so it's worth evaluating each opportunity based on its location, developer, pricing, and long-term suitability rather than relying solely on market headlines.

📍If you're looking at buying, investing, or selling property in Kuching, staying informed about market trends can help you make more confident decisions.

💬 What are your thoughts? Do you think construction costs will continue rising, or will prices gradually stabilize in the coming months?

RTS Link & JS-SEZ Set to Drive Johor's Next Phase of Growth - MICCI Southern Region chairman Lee Ting Kiat

Johor is entering an exciting phase of development with major infrastructure projects such as the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link, the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), expanding logistics networks, and continued investments in industrial and digital infrastructure.

These initiatives are expected to strengthen connectivity between Johor and Singapore, improve business efficiency, and create new opportunities across multiple industries. Better transport links may also enhance labour mobility, making cross-border travel more predictable for businesses, employees, and investors.

🏡 What could this mean for the property market?

Improved accessibility and infrastructure often increase interest in residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments located near key transport hubs. As more businesses establish or expand their operations in Johor, demand for housing, office space, and supporting commercial facilities may also grow.

However, property market performance depends on many factors, including economic conditions, supply and demand, government policies, and individual project fundamentals. Buyers and investors should evaluate each opportunity based on location, developer reputation, pricing, and their own financial objectives rather than relying solely on market headlines.

📍Infrastructure has the potential to shape the future of a city. Staying informed about market developments can help buyers, investors, and homeowners make more confident property decisions.
