Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Tebrau City Residences
Large freehold units at a low price per square foot. Here is the case, and the catch.
Large units
PropertyGuru records layouts from 1,092 to 1,882 sq ft, bigger than most newer Tebrau condominiums.
Freehold, lower psf
EdgeProp’s recorded median is RM311 psf over 48 months, well below newer projects nearby.
Basic facilities
Portal listings show a pool, gym, sauna, parking and 24-hour security with access control.
What to weigh: thin trading and an older building
PropertyGuru recorded one sale in the 12 months to October 2026, so resale can take time, and a 2009 building may need more upkeep. Ask the management office about the sinking fund and repairs 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 | RM311 psf · typical RM257–601 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | From about RM420,000 (iProperty); PropertyGuru pages show ranges between about RM330,000 and RM798,000 | iProperty and PropertyGuru, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM1,200 a month | iProperty, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months, with an implied gross yield of about 6.89%; EdgeProp does not state the number of sales. PropertyGuru shows one recorded sale in the 12 months to October 2026. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen in October 2026, not transactions, and PropertyGuru pages differ from each other, so treat the asking ranges as indicative.

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.
- ⚠️ 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.
- ⚠️ 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.

Is Tebrau City Residences 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 seen for Tebrau City Residences are below RM1 million, so a foreign buyer would not normally meet the state minimum here.

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.
