Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at The Straits View Homes
Newer freehold terraces in a gated neighbourhood. Here is the case, and the catch.
Two-storey terraces with generous space
The developer’s website lists built-up areas from 2,173 sq ft and describes both wet and dry kitchens.
Gated and guarded
The developer’s website describes a gated and guarded neighbourhood with a landscaped park.
Completed in 2020
The developer and PropertyGuru both record 2020, so these are among the newer landed homes in Permas Jaya.
What to weigh: unit data is inconsistent
PropertyGuru’s listing page shows a smaller floor area than the developer’s 2,173 sq ft, so psf figures on listings may not be comparable. Confirm the built-up area in the title before you compare prices.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Asking price for sale, terrace homes | From about RM898,000 | PropertyGuru listings, Sep–Oct 2026 |
The sale row is an asking price seen on PropertyGuru in September–October 2026, not a transaction. No transacted median or asking rent was found for this project, and PropertyGuru’s psf figures are not used because its floor area differs from the developer’s.

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.
- ⚠️ 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.

Frequently asked questions
How many homes are there and what sizes?
The developer’s website lists 273 two-storey terrace homes with built-up sizes from 2,173 sq ft. PropertyGuru’s listing data shows a smaller floor area, so confirm the size for any unit.
Is The Straits View Homes freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru records 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. 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. PropertyGuru asking prices at The Straits View Homes start around RM898,000, so only units priced at RM1 million or more could qualify, and only if the unit is not on a Bumiputera lot. These are two-storey terraces, so the single-storey exclusion does not apply.
How much does a home rent for?
No current rent figure was found for this project in October 2026. Ask for recent rental evidence before you rely on a number.

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.
