Compare new condos in Malaysia

The RumahCheck report rates a gross yield of 5% or more as strong, 4% to 5% as acceptable and below 3% as poor. It works out the yield from the monthly rent you enter. If it finds rental listings for the condo online, it shows their median rent. An agent's figure more than 20% away from that median is flagged.

RumahCheck divides the asking price by the built-up size and scores the price per sq ft against fixed bands. For Kuala Lumpur and Selangor condos in NAPIC's Laporan Pasaran Harta 2025 price tables, the report also shows that condo's 2025 price range. You can then see whether the asking price is above it. NAPIC gives a price range for each scheme. It does not list individual transactions.

The RumahCheck report includes a short summary of the developer, written by AI: who they are, some completed projects and what is said in public about their build quality. It is marked as AI and can be wrong. Check the developer's licence and past projects on the KPKT portal (apdl.kpkt.gov.my) before you pay a deposit. The report does not check the main contractor.

PSF means price per square foot: the price divided by the built-up area in square feet. It is the usual way to compare condo prices in Malaysia. RumahCheck works out the price per sq ft of the price you were quoted. For KL and Selangor condos in NAPIC's 2025 price tables, the report shows that condo's 2025 price range next to it.

Overhang is the number of completed homes still unsold more than nine months after launch. A high overhang means there are more homes than buyers, which can hold down resale prices and rents. RumahCheck uses NAPIC's latest quarterly overhang data to show the supply level in each state.

Enter the condo name, asking price and built-up size into RumahCheck. It works out the price per sq ft and scores it. For KL and Selangor condos in NAPIC's 2025 price tables, the report shows that condo's 2025 price range. In other states the report still checks the foreign buyer minimum, stamp duty and unsold supply. You do not need to sign up.

NAPIC's 2025 price tables give a price range for each completed condo and apartment scheme. We take the middle of each range and divide it by the scheme's average unit size. The median of those figures is RM796 psf in KLCC (10 schemes), RM674 in Bangsar (15), RM639 in Mont Kiara (35), RM482 in Bukit Jalil (12) and RM400 in Cheras (9). New launches in the same areas usually cost more per sq ft. When a condo is in the NAPIC tables, RumahCheck shows its own 2025 price range.

It depends on the location, the price and the developer. Before you buy, check the price per sq ft against NAPIC's 2025 price range for the same condo or area. Check the rent against real listings, and look at the number of unsold homes and the developer's completed projects. RumahCheck works out the price per sq ft and gross yield. It shows the NAPIC 2025 price range when the condo is in the tables, and the state's unsold stock from NAPIC's overhang tables.

Check six things before you commit: (1) The price per sq ft against NAPIC's 2025 price range for the same building or area. (2) The gross rental yield, using rents from real listings as well as the agent's figure. (3) The developer's record of finishing projects, especially for a project still under construction or just launched. (4) If you are a foreign buyer, the state minimum price. (5) Unsold supply in the area, which can hold down resale prices and rents. (6) For a new project, the main contractor's CIDB grade. The free RumahCheck report covers points 1, 2, 4 and 5. The NAPIC price range is for KL and Selangor only, and the supply figure is for the whole state. For point 3 it gives an AI summary, which you should check yourself. It does not check the main contractor.

NAPIC (National Property Information Centre) is the government agency that publishes Malaysia's property statistics. RumahCheck uses its annual Laporan Pasaran Harta 2025 price and rental tables, which list price and rent ranges for completed condominium and apartment schemes in every state, grouped by district. Each figure is a range for a whole scheme. Individual transactions are not listed, so treat any comparison as a guide only.

Yes. Foreigners can buy a condo priced above the state minimum. The minimum ranges from RM500,000 to RM2,000,000, depending on the state and the property type. RumahCheck checks a price against the foreign buyer minimum for all 13 states and 3 federal territories.

Under the MM2H rules in force from 2024, the minimum property purchase is RM600,000 for Silver, RM1,000,000 for Gold and RM2,000,000 for Platinum. State minimums may also apply. Check the current rules on the MM2H portal. RumahCheck checks the state minimum for foreign buyers but not the MM2H tier minimums.

From 1 January 2026 (Budget 2026), foreign buyers pay a flat 8% stamp duty on residential property transfers, up from a flat 4% in 2024 and 2025. Malaysian citizens and permanent residents pay tiered rates of 1% to 4%. The RumahCheck report includes stamp duty in the cash you need upfront.

It depends on the deal. Look at the price per sq ft against similar condos nearby, whether the rent is realistic, the developer's delivery record and the number of unsold homes in the area. RumahCheck scores a deal out of 100 from the price per sq ft, the gross yield, the foreign buyer minimum, the state's unsold stock and price index, and the developer.

RPGT (Real Property Gains Tax) is a tax on the profit from selling Malaysian property. Foreign sellers pay 30% if they sell within the first 5 years of ownership and 10% after that. Foreigners get no RPGT exemption. If you might sell within a few years, include it in your sums before you buy.

Most states restrict foreigners from buying landed homes such as bungalows, semi-detached and terraced houses. Condos and other strata high-rise units are usually the easiest type for a foreign buyer. Some states have zones with different rules for landed property, such as Johor's Iskandar zones. Check with a licensed Malaysian property lawyer for the project you want.

In general, foreign buyers cannot buy Malay Reserved Land, low and medium-cost homes (usually below RM300,000), units under the Bumiputera quota, or agricultural land without special approval from the Land and Mines Office. Strata condos and serviced apartments above the state minimum are the type foreign buyers can most often buy.

Yes. Most major Malaysian banks lend to foreign buyers, on less favourable terms than to residents. Banks commonly lend foreigners 60–70% of the price, and each bank sets its own limit. At that level, a foreign buyer of a RM1,000,000 condo would need RM300,000–RM400,000 in cash upfront, before stamp duty and legal fees.

Yes. In most states, a foreign buyer needs approval from the State Authority (usually the State Economic Planning Unit, UPEN, or its equivalent) before the transfer can be registered. This usually adds 1–3 months to the purchase. Your property lawyer normally makes the application.
