Why this address
Four things buyers weigh in Taman Johor Jaya
A settled freehold township with deep resale evidence. Here is the case, and the catch.
A deep resale market
NAPIC records via List.my show 962 sales from 2021 to 2026, so there is plenty of evidence for most house types and streets.
Schools and services on the doorstep
PropertyGuru lists SK Taman Johor Jaya 2, SMK Taman Johor Jaya 1 and SJK(C) Johor Jaya, the Johor Jaya bus terminal and Hospital Sultan Ismail nearby.
Close to the Tebrau malls
AEON Tebrau City and AEON Big are among the shopping centres PropertyGuru names, with the Pasir Gudang Highway alongside.
What to weigh: older houses
Homes here date from 1983 to 1998, so renovation, roofing and wiring costs matter. The township median also mixes houses with shops and low-cost units; compare against sales of your exact house type.

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, 2021–2026, all types | RM475,000 · RM350 psf · middle half RM330,000–620,000 | NAPIC via List.my, Oct 2026 (962 sales) |
| Transacted mix 2021–2026 | 304 low-cost houses · 225 single-storey and 187 double-storey terraces · 26 semi-Ds · shops and factories | NAPIC via List.my, Oct 2026 |
| Price trend past 12 months | Median psf up about 6.4% | List.my, Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, all types | From about RM225,000 · RM227–1,000 psf | PropertyGuru, Oct 2026 (56 listings) |
| Asking rent whole houses | From about RM1,300 a month | PropertyGuru, Oct 2026 (19 listings) |
Transacted rows are NAPIC (JPPH) records published by List.my for 2021 to 2026; they cover every property type in the scheme, including shops and factories, and List.my says they are indicative. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in 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.
- ⚠️ An older building (completed 1998). Check the lifts, plumbing, sinking fund balance and any repairs the management has planned.
- ⚠️ Landed homes: check the land title, the facing, and whether the house has had extensions that need approved plans.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

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.
