Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Residensi Tebrau
One of the lower-priced apartment options near the city. Here is the case, and the catch.
Low recorded prices
EdgeProp’s median over the last 48 months is about RM283 psf, so a 903 sq ft 3-bedroom unit has typically changed hands at around RM255,000 on that basis.
On the Tebrau corridor
The site sits off the Tebrau Highway, which links the city centre with the Tebrau and Mount Austin areas.
Family-sized layouts
All three layouts are 757 sq ft or larger, and most listings are 3-bedroom units.
What to weigh: land status and PR1MA rules
The land is Malay Reserve land, which limits who can buy, and PR1MA homes have carried resale restrictions. Check the title, the buyer eligibility and any PR1MA consent needed before you commit.

The recorded numbers
The price numbers
Recorded sales and asking prices are different things. Transacted figures come from deals recorded with the government valuation department; asking figures are what owners or the developer are listing at.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted price median, last 48 months | RM283 psf · typical RM260–299 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | About RM280,000–485,000; 903–1,053 sq ft 3-bedroom units shown at RM330,000–370,000 | Mudah (11 ads), Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units and rooms | About RM1,600–2,000 a month for a whole unit; rooms from RM600 | Mudah (8 ads), Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months; EdgeProp also shows one February 2026 sale at RM518 psf, well above the usual range. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on Mudah in October 2026, not transactions.

Is it for you?
Which kind of buyer are you?
The same building suits different people for different reasons. Pick the line that sounds like you.
🏠 Living here yourself
Ask me which stacks get the better view and the least afternoon sun; that changes the price more than the floor.
💰 Buying to rent out
Compare the recorded rents in "The price numbers" above with the instalment on your loan. Smaller layouts usually rent faster; larger ones hold tenants longer.
👨👩👧 Family with children
Check the school and clinic distances in the location section, the number of car parks per unit and how busy the lifts are at 7.30 am.
✈️ Buying from overseas
Foreigners can only buy above the state minimum price (RM1 million in Johor) and pay 8% stamp duty from 2026. Ask me which units here qualify before you shortlist.
Straight talk
What I will not hide from you
Every project has trade-offs. These are the ones I would want to know before paying a deposit.
- ⚠️ A newer project, so many owners are renting out at the same time. Expect competition for tenants for the first few years.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ Most asking prices here are below RM1 million, so most units cannot be sold to foreigners in Johor. On resale, your buyers will mainly be locals.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

I work with local families, investors and buyers from Singapore and overseas. If a project is not right for what you need, I will say so; that is usually worth more than the brochure.
