According to him, the National Property Information Centre's data on completed residential units highlighted that many affordadale houses, particularly those priced below RM300,000, are still accessible on the market.

He said that among the causes contributing to the significant number of unsold completed units were people's ability to acquire houses and a supply of houses in regions that did not satisfy demand.
