Price per sq ft = starting price divided by the smallest unit size, both from developer material shown on each project page. It is an indicative figure for the entry unit, not a transacted price, and bigger or higher-floor units price differently.
Median price per sq ft by area
Areas with two or more priced projects. A median from two or three projects is a rough guide, not a market average.
| Area | Projects | Median ~RM psf | Range ~RM psf |
|---|---|---|---|
| Johor Bahru | 7 | RM848 | RM617 to RM1,533 |
| Mount Austin | 2 | RM754 | RM748 to RM761 |
Areas with one priced project: Tebrau (Daya 1 Residences, RM617 per sq ft), Skudai (M Tiara Skudai, RM400 per sq ft), Senai (Sentrio Residence 2, RM381 per sq ft), Ulu Tiram (Astera @ Impian Hills, RM372 per sq ft).
How we calculate price per sq ft
For each project we divide the starting price by the smallest unit size, both taken from developer material and shown on the project page. Projects missing a published price or size are left out (10 of the 23 Johor projects we index), and so are projects whose starting price is RM5 million or more, because a single penthouse distorts the figure. The numbers are gross list prices before any rebate, discount or package, and they describe the entry unit, so the larger units in the same project will usually sit above or below that figure.
What price per sq ft does not tell you
- Built-up versus net area. Developers quote built-up area, which includes walls and common space, so a compact unit can look cheaper per sq ft than it feels.
- Landed versus high-rise. Landed homes such as Astera @ Impian Hills and M Tiara Skudai come with land and much larger units, so their price per sq ft of built-up area is far lower than a compact apartment in a tower. Compare like with like.
- Tenure and completion. A freehold project at the same price per sq ft is not the same as a leasehold one, and a project completing in 2030 is not the same as one you can inspect today.
- Resale value. This is a list price. Resale transactions are published by government agencies and listing portals, not by us.
To compare monthly cost rather than price, see the Johor new launches under RM600K list with estimated instalments, the freehold list, and the KLCC vs Bukit Bintang vs TRX guide.

Questions to ask before you book
- What is the price of the exact unit and floor I want, not just the starting price?
- Can you send the current official price list and the units still available?
- What is the tenure and, for leasehold, how many years remain?
- What is the confirmed completion date, and how does it link to the payment schedule?
- Which legal and loan fees does the developer absorb, and do any packages change the price on the SPA?
To plan upfront cash, read how much a new launch needs as a downpayment. For the wider picture, see the Johor Bahru new launch projects guide, the RTS Link and Johor property explainer and our area guides.
