Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Seri Austin Residence
A low-rise, low-density freehold block near the Tebrau malls. Here is the case, and the catch.
Close to the Tebrau malls
PropertyGuru’s review puts AEON Tebrau City about five minutes’ drive away and JB city centre about ten minutes via the Eastern Dispersal Link.
Low density on 10 acres
Three 13-storey towers on about 10 acres, with 10 units a floor, according to the review.
A wide facility list
The PropertyGuru building page lists a pool, gym, yoga and study rooms, a nursery, a launderette and a food court, with a maintenance fee of RM0.22 psf a month.
What to weigh: no published transaction median
We found no EdgeProp or NAPIC median for this building, and asking prices range from about RM373 to RM606 psf. Ask for recorded sale prices for your layout 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Developer price Apr 2016 | RM288,000 to RM588,000 | PropertyGuru review |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | About RM290,000–788,000 · RM373–606 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | About RM1,500–2,600 a month | PropertyGuru rent listings, Oct 2026 |
We found no recorded transaction median for Seri Austin Residence on EdgeProp, so every row here is a developer or asking figure, not a transaction. Asking rows were seen in October 2026, when PropertyGuru showed 62 units for sale and about 20 for rent.

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 661 to 1,208 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.
- ⚠️ 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 RM590,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.
| Malaysian buyer (90% loan) | Foreign buyer (70% loan) | |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | RM590,000 | RM590,000 |
| Down payment | RM59,000 | RM177,000 |
| Loan amount | RM531,000 | RM413,000 |
| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM11,700 | RM47,200 |
| Stamp duty on loan (0.5%) | RM2,655 | RM2,065 |
| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM7,722 | RM7,722 |
| Lawyer, loan agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM7,085 | RM5,576 |
| Cash needed before keys | RM88,162 | RM239,563 |
| State consent fee for foreigners | – | 3% of the price or RM30,000 (Johor) |
Estimates only. Stamp duty: 1–4% tiers for Malaysians and PRs, 8% flat for foreigners from 1 Jan 2026. Legal fees follow the Solicitors’ Remuneration Order 2023. First-time Malaysian buyers of homes up to RM500,000 may get a stamp duty exemption until 2027. Valuation, disbursements and moving costs are not included.

Is Seri Austin Residence freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru’s building page and its launch review 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 Seri Austin Residence seen in October 2026 ran from about RM290,000 to RM788,000, all below RM1 million, so no unit here is likely to qualify for a foreign buyer.
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.
