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 | RM213 psf · typical RM198–228 psf | EdgeProp project page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | From about RM229,000 · RM250–362 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM1,100 a month | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months; EdgeProp puts the implied gross yield at about 7.6%. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in October 2026 (53 for sale, only 2 for rent), 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 2004). Check the lifts, plumbing, sinking fund balance and any repairs the management has planned.
- ⚠️ 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.

How many units are there and what sizes?

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.
