Jason’s take
Finished, near Hospital Sultan Ismail and AEON, from studios to dual-key layouts. Resale prices now sit well below the 2018 launch, about RM414 psf against RM627. That's good for buyers, so price your offer on recorded sales. It's on commercial title.

Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Austin Regency
A freehold Mount Austin block with small units that rent readily. Here is the case, and the catch.
Hospital and malls close by
The PropertyGuru launch review puts Hospital Sultan Ismail about 1.6 km away and Tesco Extra and AEON about 2 km away.
Studios to dual-key units
Five layouts run from a 490 sq ft studio to a 1,317 sq ft 3-bedroom-plus-study unit, one version of which is built as a dual-key home.
Sky garden and resort facilities
The developer lists a sky garden, swimming and wading pools, gym, tennis court, jogging track, clubhouse and reading room.
What to weigh: resale prices sit below launch
The last block launched from about RM627 psf in 2018. EdgeProp records a 48-month median of RM414 psf, and the title is commercial, which can mean commercial rates for utilities and assessment. Price your offer on recorded sales.

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 | RM414 psf · typical RM360–476 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Launch price A Tower, 2018 | From about RM307,000 · from RM627 psf | PropertyGuru launch review, Jan 2018 |
| Asking price for sale | About RM295,000–635,000 · 490 sq ft studios RM295–328k, 1,317 sq ft units RM540–635k | Mudah listings, Aug–Sep 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | Studios about RM1,400–1,800 a month; 1,317 sq ft units about RM2,500–3,800 | Mudah listings, Sep 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales; the asking rows are listing prices on Mudah, not transactions. The launch row is the developer’s 2018 starting price for the final block.

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 490 to 1,317 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.
- ⚠️ 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.
- ⚠️ 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.

Frequently asked questions
What unit sizes are there at Austin Regency?
Five layouts from the developer: a 490 sq ft studio, a 660 sq ft unit, a 999 sq ft 2-bedroom-plus-study unit and two 1,317 sq ft 3-bedroom-plus-study types, one of them dual key. Records give about 1,200 units in four blocks.
Is Austin Regency freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru records freehold tenure, on a commercial title according to its launch review.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs a purchase price of RM1 million or more (the state minimum can vary by area and property type), must obtain state consent from the Johor Land and Mines Office, and cannot buy units on Bumiputera lots. Stamp duty on the transfer of a home is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026. Johor also charges foreign buyers a consent levy of 3% of the price or RM30,000, whichever is higher (since 1 July 2025). Asking prices at Austin Regency run from about RM295,000 to RM635,000, so units are generally below the threshold and not open to foreign buyers.
How much does a unit rent for?
Mudah listings in September 2026 ask about RM1,400 to RM1,800 a month for studios and about RM2,500 to RM3,800 for 1,317 sq ft units.

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.
