VIVAnews - In the midst of the fluctuating global financial market which has affected Indonesia, the property industry in the country is still promising. It contributes quite attractive capital gain. The value of assets is increasing.
The analysis was brought forth by property analyst Panangian Simanungkalit in a seminar entitled "Danger or Opportunity" at Kemang Village, Jakarta, Dec 13. "The property market in Indonesia is very different from other countries. Property prices continue increasing in the country. Capital gain still reaches eight percent," he said.
According to Simanungkalit, in the middle of plunging capital market, property market offers investment whose business, investment and inflation risks are almost nil although liquidity risk is still at moderate level.
He figured that the Indonesian property market in 2009 is still impressive taking into account people's high demand. Nonetheless, property supply from developers do not equal the situation.
Investors willing to invest in the real estate sector should purchase property in the right time, at a perfect location and at a good price, Simanungkalit recommended.
Several properties such as apartment, leased homes, and office buildings provide enough capital gain. However, if investors aim at long-term investment, they should invest in land plots.
