Affordable housing will be the key growth driver for DBE in terms of revenue. We want to build a company with strong fundamentals, and we are making homeownership affordable for all Malaysians,” he tells The Edge in an interview via video.
Doh recalls that his father, Datuk Doh Neng Chiong, ventured into affordable homes in 1989, building more than 400 houses, with prices starting at RM32,000, in Taman Mas in Sitiawan, Perak.
“We continued there after completing and delivering more homes, contributing to the growth of the region and the state. We are fortunate to have the experience and expertise of more than two decades in building residential, commercial units and townships. Nevertheless, our focus will be always on providing affordable homes,” he says.
Commenting on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the property market, Doh says he is unfazed as the interest and appetite of first-time homebuyers remain strong.
“While other developers are trying to get someone to buy a second home for investment ... our target market is first-time house buyers. Interest rates are very low now. I don’t think serious buyers would want to wait too long. They are price-sensitive and they have a tight budget. Once they identify the right house at the right location, they will buy,” he explains.
He adds that the key thing for DBE is for its projects to remain truly affordable.
