This paper examines empirically whether the increasing trend in the Malaysian housing price is related to changes in the interest rate, consumer price index and stock price KLCI. The empirical data were collected from data stream using monthly basis from 2003 to 2013. The paper provides empirical results that the interest rate, consumer price index and stock price KLCI are the key determinants of housing prices.
