Jason’s take
A single 21-storey block within walking distance of Hospital Sultan Ismail, with a low maintenance rate. Recorded sales are mostly the smaller units, so if you want a 906 or 1,390 sq ft layout, ask me for sales of that exact type.

Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Austin Suites
A compact freehold block in Mount Austin with a steady rental market. Here is the case, and the catch.
Hospital on foot
PropertyGuru places Hospital Sultan Ismail within walking distance, and Tesco and AEON Tebrau City within about five minutes by car.
Schools a short drive away
SMK Taman Mount Austin, Austin Heights school and Sunway College are about three to seven minutes away by car.
One block, 460 units
A single 21-storey block keeps the development smaller than many nearby towers, with a maintenance rate of RM0.20 per sq ft.
What to weigh: thin data for big units
EdgeProp’s recorded sales are mostly 657–678 sq ft units, so its RM425 psf median says little about the 906 and 1,390 sq ft layouts. Ask for recent sales of your exact type.

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 | RM425 psf · typical RM380–480 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale | About RM320,000–585,000 | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | 1 bed about RM1,400–1,600 · 2 bed RM1,600–2,200 a month | Mudah listings, Jul–Sep 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales, mostly of 657–678 sq ft units; EdgeProp estimates the gross yield at about 6.2%. The asking rows are listing prices, 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
Layouts here run from about 658 to 1,390 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 (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.
- ⚠️ 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.
- ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
- ⚠️ 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.
The real cost
What buying here costs in 2026

Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs a purchase price of RM1 million or more (the state minimum can vary by area and property type), must obtain state consent from the Johor Land and Mines Office, and cannot buy units on Bumiputera lots. Stamp duty on the transfer of a home is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026.

Asking prices at Austin Suites are about RM320,000 to RM585,000, so units are generally below the threshold and not open to foreign buyers.
How much does a unit rent for?

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.
