Support for first-time homebuyers, property market


PETALING JAYA: The government’s move to double the Housing Credit Guarantee Scheme (SJKP) allocation to RM20bil is expected to help 80,000 first-time homebuyers and boost the property market, say industry players.

Real Estate and Housing Dev­elopers’ Association (Rehda) president Datuk Ho Hon Sang said the move, along with the extended Youth Housing Finan­cing Scheme under the Public Sector Home Financing Board and the higher financing limit of up to RM1mil, will boost home ownership.
