Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Sri Melaka Residensi
An affordable family condominium close to Melaka’s hospitals and schools. Here is the case, and what to weigh.
Affordable family space
Every unit has at least 3 bedrooms. Recorded sales over the past four years averaged about RM268 psf on EdgeProp, and two listings asked under RM300,000 in October 2026.
Hospitals close by
The listing gives 2.5 km to Putra Specialist Hospital, 2.7 km to Melaka General Hospital and 4.2 km to Mahkota Medical Centre.
Schools on foot
SMK Seri Kota is about 750 m away and SMJK Yok Bin about 900 m, with Melaka Raya 3.4 km away.
What to weigh: a very large scheme
2,070 units means many similar units on the market when you sell or rent, and portals quote sizes with or without the 135 sq ft car park bay. It is leasehold, so check the remaining lease.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted EdgeProp sold range, last 48 months | RM260 – RM277 psf · median about RM268 psf | EdgeProp, Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale (2 listings) | RM294,060 – RM299,000 · about RM299–340 psf | iProperty listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent 3 bedrooms (2 listings) | From about RM900 a month | PropertyGuru project page, Oct 2026 |
| Developer list price (launch) on the IQI listing | RM232,000 – RM334,000 | IQI Project Centre, 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s sold-price data for the previous 48 months, checked in October 2026; EdgeProp gives an implied gross yield of about 4.3%. Asking figures come from very few listings in October 2026, so treat them as a rough guide. The launch row is the developer’s list price on IQI. Note that some portals quote psf on 865 and 1,000 sq ft, others on 1,000 and 1,135 sq ft, which include a 135 sq ft covered car park bay.

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 865 to 1,000 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.
