I live “next door” to Malaysia but I won’t touch Malaysia properties lah.
The Malaysian lady who does facial for me, told me she bought a new landed property, opposite her mum’s place, and it was left vacant for very long. Rent it out no value (RM800/mth) because whole stretch of landed houses there were all left vacant, all waiting to be rented out.
DH’s colleague bought one luxurious condo in JB, developer stopped the construction half way! In the end, he chose to have his deposit forfeited to cut his losses.
DH said he saw big posters promoting JB Forest City at Shenzhen airport a few years back, so I believed that those who are gullible to be cheated already kena cheated. Now, the in thing is to buy Bangkok / Cambodian properties. -

You buy property in Johor to retire in. You can rent out your house in Singapore. -

Sometimes, people say these things to frighten you but may not necessarily be true.

There is only one project that were sold in big numbers to PRC - Forest City. This, I agree with your friend. I won’t touch it with a barge pole.
The rest of the properties popular with Singaporeans are typically in Medini, Nusajaya and Danga Bay. These properties are also brought in large quantities by upper middle and upper class Malaysians. Most of these places are quite nice to live in. Ghost town? Maybe. Especially if you are not used to having most owners treating their place as second or holiday homes. High crime area? Far from it. Most of these places are double gated communities and highly secured. Because they are also owned by upper middle and upper class Malaysians (in Malaysia speak, it also means the who’s who and well connected people), they are also very safe.
The best thing is to go see it for yourself (or stay in one of them. The thing about Johor property is not to buy with the ideal of renting it out. It is a good place to stay and retire but terrible if you are expecting good rental returns. -

). Selling is a function of price. They are probably just not happy selling it at the price that the market is asking for. Given their recent property boom, supply > demand. With so many new properties available, why would buyers want to buy a run down unit at the same price? The thing about rental, who were they intending to rent to? Malaysians? Low yield. Foreigners? Limited number.
Lastly, there are landed, and there are landed. Older (landed) terrace houses would never appeal to foreigners. However, newer landed properties like those in https://gamudaland.com.my/horizonhills/ (by Gamuda Land and UEM Sunrise) or older well developed projects like https://www.leisurefarm.com.my/ (by Mulpha) have lots of appeal. Notwithstanding, selling remains a function of price. If die-die wants to make a capital gain of x% before selling, then got to wait (long-long) lor. -

Actually don't really need to wait until after retirement lah
I guess most are just optimistic. Worst case is just live there after retirement...you are 3 times as rich (psle math phrasing) if you move there A number of my friends, once their kids are old enough (typically university age), they move over to Johor. They apply for the http://www.mm2h.gov.my/index.php/en/ and live in semi-retirement. In a way, they get the best of both worlds.
