  • Summary: Property prices in the city center (KLCC area) and Mont Kiara area did not increase much except for St. Mary's. Condominiums in the suburbs are increasing in price. This seems to be because properties in the city center are mainly for investors, and there is almost no actual demand (for residential use). In comparison, prices for properties in the suburbs, especially those with malls and properties near stations, have increased considerably. This is probably because properties in the suburbs are cheaper and in real demand.

2) Johor

Property Name New sale price Price at completion current price average yield
Imperia (Putri Harbor) RM850 (2011) RM1,100 (2015) RM1,100 4.4%
One Medini (Medini) RM400 (2012) RM600 (2015) RM600 3.7%
Molek Pine 3 (Molek) RM500 (2012) RM550 (2014) RM550 5.2%
  • Source: Iproperty and internal research
  • Price is per square foot (0.093m²)
  • Recommended properties by our company
  • Yield is calculated based on current market price and rental market price
  • Summary: Prices in Penang are generally stable across all regions. This is probably because Penang Island is a small island with limited land supply, and there are many wealthy locals.
