Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Kingfisher Putatan
A family condominium in Putatan town. Here is the case, and what to weigh.
Family-sized homes
Every unit has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, at 1,010 to 1,065 sq ft.
Airport and roads
The developer gives about 7 km to KKIA, 4.9 km to the train station and road links to the city, Tanjung Aru, Kinarut and Penampang.
In Putatan’s hub
Shops, schools and recreation are within about 10 minutes’ drive, with banks within 3.5 km.
What to weigh: distance to the city
The city centre is about 12 km away, so most commuting is by car. It is leasehold, and few units come up for sale or rent, so prices are hard to compare; asking rents in 2026 were about RM1,600 to RM1,800.
The development

Phase 2 is three blocks, B at 15 storeys and C and D at 18 storeys, joined to an elevated car park by covered link bridges. Phase 1, Block A, sold out earlier.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Asking price for sale, whole Kingfisher (2 listings) | From RM320,000 · about RM291–545 psf | PropertyGuru project page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent 3 bedrooms, whole Kingfisher (3 listings) | RM1,600 – RM1,800 a month | PropertyGuru rental listings, Sep 2026 |
| Developer list price (launch) on the IQI listing | RM492,600 – RM619,400 | IQI Project Centre, 2026 |
Both rows are asking figures from PropertyGuru seen in September and October 2026, from very few listings, and they cover the whole Kingfisher development (phase 1 Block A as well as phase 2 Blocks B to D). No data site published a transacted median we could use. Daily Express reported phase 2 selling at over RM400 psf in 2019. The developer list price is the launch figure on IQI.

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 1,010 to 1,065 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.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

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.
