Why this address

Four things buyers weigh at Idaman Senibong

Family-sized apartments at some of Permas Jaya’s lower recorded prices. Here is the case, and the catch.

🏠

Every unit is family-sized

There are no studios: StarProperty lists three-bedroom types of 850–1,250 sq ft and a 1,890 sq ft four-bedroom type.

💰

Modest recorded prices

EdgeProp’s 48-month median is RM344 psf, with most sales between RM318 and RM372 psf, and an implied gross yield of about 5.9%.

🚌

Bus stop within walking distance

PropertyGuru puts the Bandar Baru Permas bus stop about 390 m away, and StarProperty puts the Causeway around 10 minutes’ drive.

⚖️

What to weigh: leasehold and age

The land is leasehold and the lease length is not published, and the buildings date from 2006. Ask your lawyer for the remaining lease, since it affects loans and resale.

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.

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 1,250 to 1,890 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.
  • ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
  • ⚠️ 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 RM260,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

Frequently asked questions

How many units are there and what sizes?

There are 708 apartments. StarProperty lists five layout types: four three-bedroom types of 850 to 1,250 sq ft and a four-bedroom type of 1,890 sq ft.

Is Idaman Senibong freehold?

No. StarProperty, PropertyGuru and iProperty record leasehold tenure. The lease length is not published, so ask your lawyer to check the title.

Can a foreigner buy here?

In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million per residential property, with 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. PropertyGuru asking prices at Idaman Senibong start around RM255,000 and top out at about RM447 psf; even the largest 1,890 sq ft unit at that rate would come to roughly RM845,000, so foreign buyers are not eligible in practice.

How much does a unit rent for?

PropertyGuru listings in October 2026 ask about RM1,200 to RM3,000 a month, depending on size, furnishing and whether a room or a whole unit is let.

Berapa harga Idaman Senibong?

Harga transaksi median ialah RM344 sekaki persegi (EdgeProp, 48 bulan terakhir). Harga tawaran di PropertyGuru (Oktober 2026) bermula sekitar RM255,000, dan sewa sekitar RM1,200 hingga RM3,000 sebulan. Pajakan, siap pada 2006.

Idaman Senibong 价格多少?租金多少?

根据EdgeProp,过去48个月成交中位价约每平方尺RM344;PropertyGuru挂牌价约RM25.5万起(2026年10月),月租约RM1,200至RM3,000。租赁地契,2006年完工,共708个单位。

On map data, the nearest schools are Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Permas Jaya 2 (~900 m), Sekolah Kebangsaan Permas Jaya 4 (~1.0 km), Sekolah Kebangsaan Permas Jaya 5 (~1.7 km). Distances are straight-line from the building.

Is there a train or bus station near Idaman Senibong?

Map data shows no train or bus station within about 4 km, so most residents drive or use e-hailing.

What is the nearest hospital and mall to Idaman Senibong?

The nearest hospital on map data is The Eye Specialist Southkey (眼科专家 Southkey) (~3.2 km), and the nearest mall is Stellar Walk (~700 m).

How much cash do I need to buy at Idaman Senibong?

For a unit at RM260,000,, a Malaysian buyer with a 90% loan needs about RM38,039 before getting the keys, covering the down payment, stamp duty and legal fees. A foreign buyer with a 70% loan needs about RM105,677, before the state consent fee. The full table is in "What buying here costs in 2026".

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.
