The introduction of the National Housing Policy 2026–2035 (DRN 2026–2035) marks a significant shift in the government’s approach to housing policy, moving away from a longstanding emphasis on increasing housing supply towards ensuring that the homes provided genuinely meet the needs of the people and prevailing market conditions.

The latest policy takes a broader perspective and raises more fundamental questions: What types of housing do we need? Who should these homes be built for? Where should they be located? And what forms of homeownership or tenure should be provided?

What truly makes the dream of homeownership difficult to achieve — are house prices too high, or are existing policies simply not enough?

As the answers gradually emerge, another question has become increasingly important: if housing affordability is no longer a challenge that can be resolved through housing policies alone, how should housing policies be recalibrated and repositioned for the next decade?

Pelancaran Dasar Perumahan Negara (DRN) 2026–2035 menandakan perubahan penting dalam pendekatan kerajaan terhadap sektor perumahan, daripada usaha memperbanyakkan bekalan kepada memastikan rumah yang disediakan benar-benar sepadan dengan keperluan rakyat dan keadaan pasaran.

Jika DRN 2018–2025 banyak membentuk asas berkaitan kemampuan-harga, kualiti, kebolehdiaman dan penyediaan perumahan, edisi baharu ini membawa tumpuan lebih luas kepada persoalan rumah yang diperlukan, untuk siapa, di mana ia perlu dibangunkan dan jenis model pemilikan atau sewaan.

Dengan sasaran penyediaan sejuta rumah mampu milik menjelang 2035, peningkatan bekalan masih menjadi komponen penting agenda perumahan negara.

Industry observers welcome the broader direction of the National Housing Policy (DRN) 2026-2035, particularly its focus on data, affordability and liveability, but say its success will ultimately depend on implementation, coordination and adaptability to changing market conditions.

Rahim & Co Chestertons senior director of research and consultancy Sulaiman Saheh sees value in the push towards more granular housing data and locality-based planning under the DRN. The policy calls for housing ownership and rental affordability reports by locality, while seeking to strengthen the housing approval process by taking into account existing stock and completed unsold units in specific areas.

Policies Have Yet to Address the Key Barriers to Homeownership

In the previous issue, property consultants pointed out that what truly determines whether a home is affordable has never been just its purchase price, but the overall cost of living.

In fact, this perspective has surfaced repeatedly in various discussions across the property industry.

At the 2026 Regional Property Market Conference hosted by the REHDA Institute at the end of last month, the opening session put forward a thought-provoking statement: “Changes in urban development alone are enough to change the way we have traditionally understood housing affordability.”

If house prices are not the only issue, then what is really holding people back from achieving their dream of homeownership today?

In Malaysia, homes priced below RM300,000 are considered the most affordable in the market. However, the latest data from the National Property Information Centre (Napic) shows that 14,201 completed residential units remained unsold as at the first quarter of this year. These units are valued at RM2.77 billion and account for 43.3% of the country’s total residential unsold completed stock. The bulk of such homes are concentrated in the Klang Valley, Johor and Perak.

Rahim & Co Chestertons senior director of research and consultancy Sulaiman Saheh believes that the affordability paradox cannot be solved simply by lowering prices.

“The country’s long-running affordability challenge stems from a mismatch between what is being built and what buyers actually need,” says Sulaiman, adding that the issue is far more nuanced and encompasses a wide range of factors.
