While the housing market has gone soft in face of stringent financing policies and unfavourable economic climate, the Iskandar Malaysia projects have an even better footing due to its international appeal.

StarProperty assistant general manager KC Tan said StarProperty.my’s Johor property fair last year has achieved overwhelming response with 10,000 visitors per day and a total of over RM50 million sales over the three days of the fair.

"The weakened Malaysia ringgit makes Malaysia an even more attractive investment option for Malaysians working across the straits as well as Singaporean investors," she added.

The StarProperty.my Fair 2016 held in Johor Bahru from July 22 to 24 (Friday to Sunday) is poised to attract local and overseas buyers.

This is the second year StarProperty.my held the property fair in Johor. This event will be joined by award-winning developers such as IJM Land and Mah Sing which have netted several awards at the inaugural StarProperty.my Awards 2016 for their various distinguished projects.

Some of the projects trotted out in the fair include Tropicana Danga Cove and Tropicana Danga Bay by Tropicana, Ponderosa Woods and Ponderosa Avenue by Rawhide Sdn Bhd, Citywoods by Huayang, Citrine Residences and Emerald Residence by Sunway Iskandar Sdn Bhd, Plumeria Avenue by Udaland, Ion2 by Premier Plus Property and Twin Danga by MB Group.

Moreover, there are also projects from other regions such as Ion Delemen@Genting Highlands by NCT Group, and other exhibitors such as Gabungan AQRS Bhd, Pulai Spring Resort Bhd, Greenland and BCB Bhd.

For those on-the-fence buyers, the fair presents a good opportunity to learn more about the ins and outs of property purchase and investment in the Iskandar Malaysia area.

Speaker Rachel Lim will be talking about the general outlook of this year’s property market. Also, Dr Daniele Gambero and Suria will be presenting the development prospects of Iskandar Malaysia.

Speaker Khalil Adis will be sharing on tips for Gen Ys to purchase their first home, while others such as Kaygarn Tan and Gregory Low would impart their knowledge on the rental market.

Those who would like to learn more about Feng Shui could also come for Sandy Paw and Professor Joe Choo’s presentation.

Furthermore, homebuyers stand a chance to win prizes worth more than RM10,000.

The StarProperty.my Fair will be held from July 22 to 24 at JB City Square, Level 1, from 10am to 10pm. Admission is free.
