Homes

Terraces, semi-Ds, apartments

1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5-storey terraces, 2-storey semi-Ds of about 3,200 sq ft built-up, apartments of about 750 sq ft and shop-offices (StarProperty)

Foreign buyers

Semi-Ds mainly

Single and 1.5-storey terraces are closed to foreigners and most prices are below RM1 million

Why this address

Four things buyers weigh in Taman Impian Emas

A big, established freehold township in Skudai with its own golf course. Here is the case, and the catch.

⛳

A golf course in the township

PropertyGuru and StarProperty both list the Impian Emas golf course, alongside a recreation park and the Impian sports complex with futsal and badminton courts.

🏫

Schools inside the estate

StarProperty lists SK Taman Impian Emas and SMK Taman Impian Emas within the estate, and PropertyGuru adds Southern University College.

🛣️

Quick highway access

PropertyGuru puts the Skudai Highway about a minute away, the North–South Expressway about 2.5 km and Senai International Airport about 11 km.

⚖️

What to weigh: very mixed stock

Homes range from older single-storey terraces to newer cluster homes, so condition and price vary widely. StarProperty notes crime was a concern in the past but says it has fallen since 2010; check the specific street and house 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.

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.
  • ⚠️ 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 RM640,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

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.
