Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Paradiso Nuova
A Medini condominium with a recorded yield and a wide asking spread. Here is the case, and the catch.
A reported yield
EdgeProp records a median of about RM493 psf over 48 months and puts the implied gross yield at about 5.59%.
Plenty of listings to compare
PropertyGuru showed about 67 units for sale and 38 for rent in October 2026, so asking prices and rents are easy to benchmark.
Resort-style facilities
PropertyGuru lists a sky lounge, pool, sauna, steam bath, gym, BBQ area and café.
What to weigh: tenure and records
Portals disagree on tenure (freehold or leasehold), completion year and unit sizes, and asking prices run from about RM266 to RM677 psf. Confirm the title and compare recorded sales before you 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 | RM493 psf · typical RM381–527 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | From about RM319,900 · RM266–677 psf | PropertyGuru building page, 67 listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units and rooms | From about RM1,000 a month | PropertyGuru building page, 38 listings, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months; EdgeProp puts the implied gross yield at about 5.59%. The sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru 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.
- ⚠️ 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
Worked example for a unit at RM320,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

| Down payment | RM32,000 | RM96,000 |

| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM5,400 | RM25,600 |

| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM4,320 | RM4,320 |

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
There are 382 units in two 35-storey towers, per PropertyGuru. Layouts run from 1 to 3 bedrooms; Land.plus gives 696 to 1,475 sq ft, while EdgeProp’s sales records include units from 678 to 1,765 sq ft, so records differ.
Is Paradiso Nuova freehold?
Records differ. PropertyGuru shows freehold, while Land.plus shows leasehold, and much of Medini is leasehold. Ask your lawyer to confirm the tenure from the title.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million for a residential property, with Johor state consent. 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. EdgeProp’s typical recorded range of RM381 to RM527 psf puts most units well below RM1 million, so foreign buyers could generally not buy here.
How much does a unit rent for?
PropertyGuru listings in October 2026 started from about RM1,000 a month; the figure depends on size and on 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.
