Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Pertama Residency
A small studio tower on the MRT Kajang line, priced for first-time buyers and landlords. Here is the case, and what to check.
Close to the MRT
Rental listings place Taman Pertama MRT about 450 m away, a five-minute walk; Maluri LRT is about 15 minutes on foot (PropertyGuru, EdgeProp).
A low entry price
Most 603–610 sq ft studios were asking about RM268,000 to RM350,000 in October 2026, and EdgeProp’s recorded median is RM481 psf.
Rent against price
EdgeProp gives a gross yield of about 6.3%, and studio rents were asking RM1,600 to RM1,800 a month in October 2026.
What to weigh: leasehold and parking
The land is leasehold, so check the years left on the lease, which affects financing and resale. StarProperty reported that parking bays were not included with units and had to be bought or rented separately; confirm the position for any unit you view.

The recorded numbers
What units here sell and rent for
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 median, recorded sales | RM481 psf (middle range RM456–587 psf), last 48 months | EdgeProp project page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking for sale | RM268,000 – RM550,000; most 603–610 sq ft studios at RM268,000 – RM350,000 | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole unit | RM1,600 – RM1,800 a month (4 listings) | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s median of recorded sales over the 48 months to October 2026; EdgeProp also gives a gross rental yield of about 6.3%. The asking rows are from 15 sale and 4 rental listings on PropertyGuru seen in October 2026; the top of the sale range is for a listing of a larger size. Ask Jason for agreed prices and rents before you offer.

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
Layouts here run from about 603 to 610 sq ft. 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 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.
- ⚠️ More than ten years old. Ask for the last AGM minutes and how much maintenance owners still owe; arrears show up as poor upkeep later.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.
