A freehold waterfront-side address with a wide range of sizes. Here is the case, and the catch.
Straits and city views
Jo Land describes 270-degree views over the marina and sea, plus a view of the city.
Freehold, with a wide size spread
PropertyGuru records layouts from 732 sq ft to 2,820 sq ft in the same building.
A deep rental market
PropertyGuru showed 123 rental listings in September 2026, which suggests plenty of tenant demand and plenty of competing landlords.
What to weigh: use transacted prices, not asking
EdgeProp’s recorded median over 48 months is RM710 psf, with most sales between RM612 and RM719 psf. Compare like-for-like sizes before you 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted price median, last 48 months | RM710 psf · typical RM612–719 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | From about RM428,000 · up to about RM771 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | About RM1,900–3,900 a month | PropertyGuru rent listings, Sep 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months; EdgeProp puts the implied gross yield at about 4.31%. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in September and October 2026, not transactions.

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
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
How many units are there and what sizes?

Is Paragon Residences @ Straits View freehold?
Yes. Both PropertyGuru and the developer’s own project page record freehold tenure.
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 Bumiputera lots, low-cost or affordable units, Malay Reserve land or single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces. 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). PropertyGuru asking prices start from about RM428,000, so only the larger units priced at RM1 million or more could qualify, and only if the unit is not on a Bumiputera lot.

PropertyGuru rent listings in September 2026 asked about RM1,900 to RM3,900 a month for whole units, depending on size.

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.
