The Penang residential property market means the bulls are running upwards.

Everywhere the eye catches new high rise condominiums, but many are not appropriate for the location and simply looking ugly.

The current grow is partly due to the Malaysian government's efforts to promote the development of low and medium cost housing under the 9th Malaysia plan (Thrust 4, Chapter 21). That means the outlook is good and many developer are having bright eyes and counting money.

Buyers from outside Malaysia
are getting on the property buying bandwagon under such programs as 'Malaysia: My Second Home'; a scheme that allows foreigners to purchase higher-end properties in Malaysia without having to receive prior approval from the Foreign Investment Committee.

Plus there are some indication that expatriates in Malaysia are moving from rental properties to purchasing properties.
