Malaysia’s housing market delivered an unexpected bright spot in 2025, with steady demand, stabilising prices, and a big wave of new units entering the market more smoothly than predicted. Keith Kam speaks with Juwai IQI co-founder and Group CEO, Kashif Ansari to break down what drove the resilience, how developers and buyers are positioning for 2026, and whether foreign interest is genuinely returning. We also look at the key risks that could shape the property landscape in the year ahead.
