Broker Gives Warning Take These 3 Steps Before Buying Property
11 February 2025
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The case of house demolitions despite having ownership certificates (SHM) that occurred in Cluster Setia Mekar Residence 2, Tambun Selatan, Bekasi has recently attracted attention. So how can one avoid becoming a victim of a similar case?
The Chairman of the Indonesian Real Estate Broker Association (Arebi), Clement Francis, gives tips for the public who want to buy property with secure legality. First, ensure that the legal validity or legality is complete, then check the track record of disputes.

Ask the certified property agent, ask if there are any issues in this area? Second, check the surroundings for any past disputes, because a big fire starts from a small flame; it will be revealed when there is already a fire but it is still being covered up. Third, check with government agencies because they know the area, who issued the permits, was it the government?" said Clement to CNBC Indonesia, quoted Tuesday (11/2/2025).

The government is reportedly going to require property agent certification. That obligation will be included in the revision of PP 5 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing. Property agents or Property Brokerage Companies (P4) will be upgraded from low risk to medium to high risk.

"Broker should be asked, which office are you affiliated with?" That means there is a legal entity, it's better to find a real estate agent who has a legal entity, right? It's easy to track down in case of fraud and such, rather than a corporation, where would you look for them? "If anything happens, there is a legal entity," said Clement.

"If a random person is to be searched for, where would you look?" Indonesia has 270 million people; if they are registered, there will be data records for those who are registered. Property agents look for certified ones, not motorcycle taxi drivers who may or may not understand," he continued.

People who buy property assets must also ensure that all processes run smoothly, for example, by confirming with the Land Deed Official (PPAT).

"First, the agent checks, then the legal standing of the PPAT or notary. For a land sale transaction to occur, there is a broker, then an agreement, and it goes to the PPAT, who checks with the BPN. So, it ultimately goes to the government, and the BPN issues the certificate," said Clement.

The Younger Generation is Increasingly Interested in Buying a House Instead of Renting This Developer Offers Attractive Products
30 January 2025
Liputan6.com, Jakarta The 123 Property Recap 2024: The Youth Moves report from Rumah123 shows a significant change in the younger generation's interest in property. If previously they tended to prefer to rent housing, now more and more people are starting to consider the importance of owning a home.

The report also noted that 75% of property seekers on Rumah123 came from the younger generation. Rumah123 divides the younger generation segment into three age groups, namely 18-24 years, 25-34 years, and 35-44 years. Meanwhile, house seekers from the older age group, namely 45-54 years, are in a separate group.

Marisa Jaya, Head of Research at Rumah123, explained that Rumah123 noted an interesting phenomenon related to preferences for searching for landed houses based on age. For landed houses, both the younger and older generations tend to prefer buying houses – both new and used – rather than renting.

"In general, landed houses priced at IDR 1 billion - IDR 3 billion are the favorite among all age groups, followed by houses priced at IDR 400 million - IDR 1 billion," he explained.

Rumah123 also notes that Indonesia's young generation in 2025 has great potential and will continue to grow, especially as prospective first home buyers who are trying to make their dream home a reality.

Welcoming this great potential, PT Lippo Karawaci Tbk (LPKR), the leading real estate and health service platform in Indonesia, continues to accelerate sales of a number of superior projects in the Lippo Village to Park Serpong areas.

John Riady, Group CEO of Lippo, revealed that in the third quarter of 2024, LPKR managed to record pre-sales of IDR 4.25 trillion, which reached 79% of this year's target.

"This achievement was driven by continued sales of affordable landed home products from previous launches, such as Cendana Homes, XYZ Livin, and Waterfront Uptown, as well as the new launch of the Zen series in Park Serpong and (22/1/2025).

Pre-sales of IDR 4.25 trillion also showed an increase of 26% compared to the previous year, reflecting market demand.

Specifically for pre-sales in the Lippo Karawaci area, which includes several flagship projects in the Lippo Village area to Park Serpong, it was recorded at IDR 3.19 trillion in the January-September 2024 period.

Shocking Rough sleeping rises 33 per cent as housing crisis escalates More than 280000 Australians have become homeless in the past year
12 December 2024
Homelessness in Australia has reached “devastating levels”, according to new data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).
In total, 280,100 people received assistance from specialist homelessness services in 2024.
The number of rough sleepers has risen 13 per cent in the past year, and 33 per cent in the past two years.
A staggering 31 per cent of people who needed emergency or short-term accommodation didn’t receive it.
“This is a humanitarian crisis and these shocking new figures must be a wake-up call for governments across Australia,” Kate Colvin, CEO of Homelessness Australia, says.
“We are failing people at every turn – more families, workers and older Australians are being pushed to breaking point by skyrocketing rents and a broken housing system.”
The people at the greatest risk of homelessness are women and domestic violence survivors.
Sixty percent of people who sought help from homelessness services in 2024 were women, and two in five clients had experienced domestic or family violence.
“We knew it was bad, but this data shows us it’s getting even worse,” Colvin says.
The states with the starkest increases in rough sleeping were Queensland and Western Australia – the same states that have seen the highest spikes in rent and house prices.
Queensland saw a 51 per cent increase in the number of people sleeping rough. In Brisbane, house prices rose 14.8 per cent over 2024 – more than twice the national rate.
In Western Australia, rough sleeping rose 35 per cent off the back of a 25.3 per cent annual increase in Perth house prices.
“This is no longer a challenge for just the most vulnerable – working Australians and families are becoming homeless,” Calvin says.
“It’s time for leaders to step up and ensure no one in Australia is left without the support they need to keep a roof over their head.”

Minister Maruarar Donates 25 Hectares of Land for Public Housing
01 November 2024
Tangerang. Housing Minister Maruarar Sirait has donated 2.5 hectares of land in Tangerang Regency, where 250 homes will be built to address the need for affordable housing.

The site is located near the high-end residential and business complex Pantai Indah Kapuk 2, west of Jakarta. Each house will be built with a floor area of 36 square meters on a 60-square-meter plot.

The construction project will be led by Agung Sedayu Group, the developer of Pantai Indah Kapuk.

A large tent has already been set up at the site in preparation for the groundbreaking ceremony, scheduled for November 10, which will coincide with National Heroes Day.

"I hope this initiative inspires others to contribute similarly, as mutual assistance is a core value of our culture, passed down through generations," Maruarar said. "This housing project does not involve state funding; both the land and the developer are contributions from the private sector."

Maruarar is tasked with facilitating the construction of 3 million homes nationwide. He noted that achieving this target would be difficult without donations and public support, given the limitations of the state budget.

Trends and Potential of the Used Home Market in Jakarta After Releasing the Status of the Capital City to IKN
25 October 2024
PropertiTerkini.com, (JAKARTA) — The July 2024 edition of Rumah123 Flash Report reveals a number of interesting facts about the trends and potential of the used home market in Jakarta after relinquishing the status of the capital city to the Capital City of the Archipelago (IKN) in East Kalimantan.
The data also shows that Tangerang is the most popular area with a popularity of 15% of the total home listing inquiries in Indonesia in July. Followed by two areas in Jakarta, namely South Jakarta (11.3%) and West Jakarta (10.5%).
Ahead of the plan to move the capital city to IKN, Rumah123 also reveals the latest trends and potential of the housing market in Jakarta in the future.
Rumah123 Head of Research, Marisa Jaya, said that this month the annual popularity growth is still led by cities in Jakarta and its surroundings.
In June 2024, he said, the growth in demand (inquiries) for rented houses in Jakarta grew by 59.8% and houses for sale by 114.9% annually.
"Overall, the growth in demand for landed houses in Jakarta in June was recorded at 90.1% annually," he said.
Most Popular Searches for Second-hand Houses in South Jakarta
In terms of price, when compared to surrounding satellite cities, such as Tangerang, Depok and Bogor, price growth in Jakarta is relatively stagnant.
Throughout Semester I 2024, the growth in housing prices in Jakarta each month ranged from 0.8% to 1.4% annually, tending to be low compared to other cities, such as Bogor which ranged from 4.6% to 7.7%.
There are a number of reasons why Jakarta recorded price stagnation compared to other cities in Jabodetabek.
First, Jakarta is one of the largest centers of economic and business activity in Indonesia, so it has a high population density.
Property development in Jakarta has also been saturated so that there is no longer much development in Jakarta, especially for the housing sector.
New developments are generally apartments by maximizing limited land.
Jakarta has also been facilitated with good accessibility and public transportation networks, so it is different from other areas that can experience significant price increases with new developments that can increase accessibility, such as toll roads or the Jakarta-Bandung Fast Train.
"Although the increase in the price index is stagnant, used houses in Jakarta are still the main option for property seekers who are looking for housing in the city center but at affordable prices. This is because the supply of used houses offered in Jakarta is still very diverse and has a variety of price ranges, so it can accommodate the needs or preferences of the middle, upper-middle class," said Marisa.
Of the five areas in Jakarta, South Jakarta is the most popular area with a popularity percentage in searches of 31.8%. Followed by West Jakarta 26.8%, North Jakarta 17.9%, East Jakarta 16.6% and Central Jakarta 6.9%.

Labor refuses to rule out negative gearing changes as Treasury reportedly studies housing tax
25 September 2024
Anthony Albanese declares public service is ‘looking at policy ideas’ as report raises prospect Labor is investigating shift on housing tax concessions
Anthony Albanese has repeatedly declined to confirm or deny whether the federal government is considering changes to negative gearing, but conceded that public servants “do a range of proposals” on potential ideas.

The Nine newspapers reported on Wednesday that the government had asked Treasury to model potential changes to negative gearing concessions. The government has come under pressure from the Greens and crossbench to make changes to the property investment tax breaks, amid speculation that Labor could consider making a bold change as part of their re-election bid.

“I’m sure the public service are looking at policy ideas. That’s because we value them. But we have our housing policy. It’s out there for all to see,” Albanese said in Tasmania when asked about the report.
“What our government is considering is fixing housing supply by getting our legislation through the Senate. That’s what we’re considering … I talk about what we’re doing, not what we’re not doing.”

Negative gearing is a tax concession where investors can deduct losses from investment properties – that is, if their expenses are higher than any rent derived from the home – from their other taxable income, reducing their tax bill.

It has become a totemic policy in Australian politics, blamed by critics for raising housing prices but backed by supporters as an important setting for financial investments and rental supply.

Parliamentary Budget Office analysis, commissioned by the Greens, found tax breaks given to residential property investors will cost more than 5bn over the next decade. The Greens have been pressuring the government to wind back negative gearing concessions for people with multiple homes as part of its housing package; but following major political attacks on proposed negative gearing changes at the 2019 election, Labor has been reticent to consider such reforms.

More Chinese nationals looking to buy highend homes in Malaysia
12 August 2024
KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia is seeing a surge in Chinese nationals inquiring about multimillion-ringgit luxury homes, with investment and education opportunities driving their interest.

Several real estate firms told The Straits Times that 2024 has seen more people from China looking to buy homes, especially in Kuala Lumpur’s prime areas such as the Central Business District and leafy suburbs, including Bukit Damansara, Bangsar and Kenny Hills.

Malaysia’s relative political stability and anticipated stronger economic growth compared with a year ago have made it an attractive destination for wealthy Chinese, the firms noted, especially with other countries clamping down on education and business avenues for foreigners.

Industry players said luxury residential property usually refers to units priced at RM1 million (S0,000) and above. This is nearly twice the average price of a new apartment, which now stands at RM582,887, according to data released by global proptech firm Juwai IQI in its residential sales market report for Malaysia’s first quarter of 2024.

Every year, Juwai IQI receives thousands of inquiries from potential foreign buyers. And in the first quarter of 2024, the number of inquiries from Chinese buyers rose by 42 per cent from the preceding quarter, said its chief executive officer, Mr Kashif Ansari.

“The 42 per cent increase in inquiries by Chinese buyers resulted in a similar increase in buyers purchasing homes. They made up the largest segment of foreign buyers in Malaysia, who are generally looking to buy either landed or high-rise apartments, mainly in Kuala Lumpur and Johor, of up to RM2 million,” Mr Kashif told ST. He declined to reveal the actual figures of inquiries and homes sold, saying that it was proprietary information.

Property Entrepreneur Iwan Sunito Acquires Luxury Mall in Australia for IDR 215 billion
08 July 2024
Liputan6.com, Jakarta After completing the takeover of One Global Resorts and Conference Center worth IDR 1.3 trillion, One Global Capital, a property development company owned by Iwan Sunito, continued a large-scale purchase to secure The Grand, Crown Group's shopping center in the area Eastlakes, East of Sydney for IDR 215 billion with a yield of 7%.

The acquisition of The Grand Shopping Center is still under contract with completion of the acquisition expected to occur in August 2024.

The Grand Shopping Center is predicted to be able to grow the recurring income asset base for the company. One Global Capital also hopes that there will be another acquisition process that can be carried out in the next few months.

Commissioner and CEO of One Global Capital, Iwan Sunito, revealed that this acquisition will bring the value of One Global Capital's investment assets to more than IDR 10 trillion.

“We are in the early stages of the company's growth phase. Apart from The Grand, One Global Capital is currently in Exclusive Due Diligence to purchase an office building in the city of Sydney for IDR 4.4 trillion for our future projects. "I am very happy with the strategic acquisitions we have made in the last year," he said in a written statement in Jakarta, Monday (8/7/2024).
For this man born in Surabaya who grew up in the forests of Kalimantan, the acquisition of the Grand Shopping Center feels significant, because it is part of a seven-year strategic vision to go public while increasing the company's recurring income and building mixed-use development capacity.

"After the acquisition, this shopping center will change its name from 'The Grand' to 'The One Global Centre'. Our team is immediately working to add tenants, including more convenience stores. "We hope to be able to fill this space within three months after the acquisition is complete," added Iwan Sunito.

For information, the first phase of The Grand Shopping Center opened in July 2021, covering more than 3,000 square meters of retail space and consisting of 16 retail outlets, including larger format ALDI, Metro Wool-worths, and a number of specialty stores such as Pattison Pattiserie , Wholelife Pharmacy, Australia Post and Newsagency, Ausome Nails, Akira Sushi, Hatch Espresso, SP mobile and Val Morgan Retail.

"We plan to add more retailers to this shopping center to make The One Global Center very convenient," he said, adding.

“Apart from that, we will work intensively with the architects to take The Grand to another level. We want The One Global Center to become a new community center in the East. Making Eastlakes great again," he said, smiling.

Furthermore, Iwan Sunito said he was very inspired by the 'Walking Village' and 'Green Concept' on James Street Brisbane in Fortitude Valley and West Hollywood.

Because of this, he wants The One Global Center to become an area that brings green space to the region, while at the same time re-elevating local social and cultural roots.

"The One Global Center is located in the middle of residential areas and low-rise buildings, so it is ideal for the concept of a walkable village and green center," said Iwan.

Sydney's Eastern suburbs have become one of the property hotspots in the capital of the state of New South Wales, both for investors and end-users.

Aaron Downie, Founder of Mackenzie Property Group, said that the East, Lower North Shore and Northern Beach areas have the potential to experience above average growth.

The same thing was also expressed by Allen Habbouchi, Head of Project Sales & Distribution at Aussieproperty.com. According to him, there are three top areas on the outskirts of Sydney that are showing a strong growth trend, namely Coogee, Kingsford and Kensington.

This is mainly due to its strategic position within 10 km of the CBD, universities, beaches and infrastructure.

"This is one of the strong reasons why the Sydney suburban area is a hidden gem for property seekers and of course a magnet for property buyers from the Asia Pacific region, especially Indonesia, which is our second largest overseas market," explained Iwan Sunito.

Developer Explains About Property Investors Will Enter IKN Origin
21 June 2024
Jakarta - Many foreign investors are interested in taking part in developing the Indonesian Capital City (IKN), which can be seen from the number of letters of interest (LoI) that have been submitted, one of which is in the property sector. However, more investors will enter IKN if much of the basic infrastructure has been completed.

Deputy General Chair of the Indonesian Real Estate DPP (REI) for Foreign Relations, Rusmin Lawin, believes that the appointment of Basuki Hadimuljono as Acting Head of the Authority and Raja Juli Antoni as Acting Deputy Head of OIKN is very appropriate. Because, it can raise the confidence of investors who want to invest their capital in IKN because in a matter of weeks the coordination improvements between OIKN and the Ministry of PUPR and the Ministry of ATR/BPN are very significant.

"REI assesses that the appointment of Basuki Hadimuljono as Acting Head of OIKN and Raja Juli Antoni as Acting Deputy Head of OIKN has raised the confidence of domestic and foreign investors," he said to detikcom, Friday (21/6/2024).

Rusmin continued, if the basic infrastructure at IKN is adequate and ready, it is not impossible that more foreign investors will want to work on their projects. For example, new property developers will be able to develop their business if the basic infrastructure is ready to use.

"Property developers need basic infrastructure before developing their property," said Rusmin, who also serves as President of FIABCI Asia Pacific.

"The step of appointing Basuki Hadimuljono as Acting Head of OIKN is very appropriate because OIKN and PUPR policies will be in harmony and can accelerate the procurement of basic infrastructure at IKN," he said.

Previously, Rusmin said that currently many foreign investors have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for development at IKN. However, because it still requires approval from various ministries, currently no one has carried out a groundbreaking.

"Many foreign investments have already had MoUs, they have been in process since July last year. But because the PPP requires approval from Bappenas, PUPR, especially the Ministry of Finance because the scheme is a PPP. And hopefully in the 10th month some groundbreaking will be possible," he said to detikProperti , written Thursday (20/6/2024).

One of the projects that is said to be groundbreaking is the ASN flats which were built under the Government Cooperation with Business Entities (KPBU) scheme carried out by a company from Malaysia. However, this has not yet been done because it is still in the approval process from various ministries and is still in the stage of looking for land to work on the project.
