Foreign buyers
Few, if any
Asking prices start about RM410,000 and the largest layout is 1,573 sq ft, so units rarely reach RM1 million
Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Sky Peak Residences
Family-size freehold units in a gated township. Here is the case, and the catch.
Family-size layouts only
Every unit has 3 or 4 bedrooms, from 933 to 1,573 sq ft, so the building suits households rather than short-stay investors.
Township park and security
StarProperty notes the 12-acre town park in Setia Tropika and a township with perimeter fencing, a single guarded entry point and 24-hour patrol.
Freehold, below the city-centre price
EdgeProp records a median of RM465 psf over 48 months, a lower psf level than many freehold towers closer to the Causeway.
What to weigh: distance from the Causeway
StarProperty puts the Singapore causeway about 10 km away, so daily crossers should test the commute at peak hours. Compare like-for-like sizes and use transacted figures for your 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 | RM465 psf · typical RM447–525 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | From about RM410,000 · RM428–632 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM1,900 a month | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s median of recorded sales over 48 months; EdgeProp puts the implied gross yield at about 5.65% and does not state the number of sales on the page. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in October 2026 (49 units for sale and 66 for rent at the time), 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
Layouts here run from about 933 to 1,573 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.
- ⚠️ 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 RM410,000, 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 | RM410,000 | RM410,000 |
| Down payment | RM41,000 | RM123,000 |
| Loan amount | RM369,000 | RM287,000 |
| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM7,200 | RM32,800 |
| Stamp duty on loan (0.5%) | RM1,845 | RM1,435 |
| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM5,535 | RM5,535 |
| Lawyer, loan agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM4,982 | RM3,875 |
| Cash needed before keys | RM60,562 | RM166,645 |
| 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 482 serviced residences in three blocks. StarProperty lists seven unit types from 933 sq ft to 1,573 sq ft, all with 3 or 4 bedrooms.
Is Sky Peak Residences freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru and StarProperty 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 Sky Peak Residences start about RM410,000 and the largest layout is 1,573 sq ft, so few if any units reach RM1 million; a foreign buyer would need a unit priced at RM1 million or more that is not on a Bumiputera lot.

PropertyGuru listings in October 2026 ask from about RM1,900 a month for a whole unit; rent depends on size, floor and furnishing.

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.
