Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Molek Regency
A freehold Taman Molek address with a full facilities list. Here is the case, and the catch.
Freehold, with a wide size spread
PropertyGuru gives sizes from 640 sq ft to 2,855 sq ft, so the same building covers small starter units and very large homes.
Long facilities list
Portal listings show a pool and wading pool, gym, tennis and squash courts, badminton hall, jogging track, yoga room and a sky lounge.
Active resale and rental market
In October 2026 PropertyGuru showed 174 units for sale and 148 for rent, which gives buyers and tenants plenty to compare.
What to weigh: compare like for like
Asking prices run from about RM474 to RM742 psf, while EdgeProp’s recorded median over 48 months is RM524 psf. Compare similar sizes and condition, and use transacted figures for your offer.

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 | RM524 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | About RM380,000–2.8m · RM474–742 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM650 a month | PropertyGuru and iProperty, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s median of recorded sales over 48 months; EdgeProp puts the implied gross yield at about 6.37%, and does not state the number of sales on the page. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen in October 2026, not transactions. The top of PropertyGuru’s rent range is far above typical asking rents, so only the lower end is shown.

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.
- ⚠️ 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.

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
Portals record three buildings of serviced residences but do not publish a total unit count. PropertyGuru gives sizes from 640 sq ft to 2,855 sq ft, including penthouse-size units.
Is Molek Regency freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru and iProperty both record freehold tenure.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million per residential property, with state consent from the Johor Land and Mines Office. Since 1 July 2025 Johor charges foreign buyers a consent levy of 3% of the price or RM30,000, whichever is higher, and stamp duty on transfers to foreigners is a flat 8% from 1 January 2026. Bumiputera lots, low-cost and affordable units, Malay Reserve land and single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces are closed to foreigners. Asking prices at Molek Regency run from about RM380,000 to RM2.8 million, so only the larger layouts priced at RM1 million or more could qualify, and only if the unit is not on a Bumiputera lot.
How much does a unit rent for?
PropertyGuru and iProperty listings in October 2026 start from about RM650 a month; the rent depends heavily on size and whether a room or a whole unit is let.

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.
