Kuching property buyers prioritise price, loan eligibility over location

At the SHEDA Property Expo 2026 in Kuching, property agents say younger buyers are interested in homes priced between RM300,000 and RM500,000 but are constrained by loan eligibility. Existing debts and irregular income often reduce the amount they can borrow, making early financial screening important. Buyers are now more price-sensitive and value-conscious than in 2025.
