Despite "challenging" conditions in the Borneo housing market, including rising unaffordability and stricter lending regulations, analysts believe property prices will remain steady throughout 2014.

The investment experts also dismissed fears that rising household debt stemming from property purchases could adversely affect the economy, noting that strict lending guidelines would prevent any negative impact.
