Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Molek Pulai
A low-density block inside an established township. Here is the case, and the catch.
Inside an established township
PropertyGuru’s review notes banks and shops in Taman Molek within walking distance, so daily errands do not need the car.
Freehold and low density
Only 150 units, with 8 units a floor and 3 lifts per tower according to the launch review, which keeps lift queues short.
Sky garden and family facilities
The review lists a sky garden, pools, a gym, a sauna and a childcare centre alongside 24-hour security.
What to weigh: no published transaction median
We found no EdgeProp or NAPIC median for this building, and asking prices range widely from about RM315 to RM607 psf. Ask for recorded sale prices for your layout before you make an 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Launch price at launch (Dec 2015) | RM574,000 to RM961,000 · about RM600 psf | PropertyGuru launch review |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | About RM248,000–961,000 · RM315–607 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM2,000 a month | PropertyGuru and iProperty, Oct 2026 |
We found no recorded transaction median for Molek Pulai on EdgeProp, so every row here is a launch or asking figure, not a transaction. Asking rows were seen in October 2026, when PropertyGuru showed 40 units for sale and 10 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 947 to 1,431 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.
The real cost
What buying here costs in 2026
Worked example for a unit at RM960,000, 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 | RM960,000 | RM960,000 |
| Down payment | RM96,000 | RM288,000 |
| Loan amount | RM864,000 | RM672,000 |
| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM22,800 | RM76,800 |
| Stamp duty on loan (0.5%) | RM4,320 | RM3,360 |
| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM11,718 | RM11,718 |
| Lawyer, loan agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM10,681 | RM8,608 |
| Cash needed before keys | RM145,519 | RM388,486 |
| 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.

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
There are 150 units on 26 storeys. The developer’s plans show three layouts: Type A of 947 sq ft, Type B of 1,076 sq ft and Type C of 1,431 sq ft, with 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms respectively according to PropertyGuru’s review.
Is Molek Pulai freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru and iProperty 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 Molek Pulai seen in October 2026 ran from about RM248,000 to RM961,000, all below RM1 million, so a foreign buyer is unlikely to find a qualifying unit here.
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.
