I suppose it's attainable for office workers. A house like this could cost around RM300k (74k USD), although for the specific property I linked prices would be much higher due to the location (it's an affluent district located very near the heart of the capital city). Median monthly income in Malaysia is around RM5.5k (~1.3k USD) [1]. Unfortunately property prices have been rising 5-10% year on year while income has stayed mostly stagnant.
