Original analysis of NAPIC open transaction records for Johor. Quarterly district reports track what is actually selling and at what price; the topic studies dig into questions the headline numbers do not answer.
Published after each NAPIC data release, covering the Johor Bahru district in full.
621 residential sales, half again as many as Q1, with the median slipping to RM530,000. Plentong doubled its volume while pricing lowest of the three main mukims.
The median home changed hands at RM550,000, terraced housing took 56% of all sales, and the widely quoted freehold premium turned out to be mostly a mix effect.
Longer analyses that cut across quarters and districts.
Across 3,608 terraced sales the rate falls from RM436 to RM350 as homes get larger — a pattern that holds in eight of ten districts, and one that makes naive per-square-foot comparisons misleading.
Tangkak led at +32% and Muar at +28%, both ahead of Johor Bahru. Restricted to terraced houses the gap widens further — and Segamat and Batu Pahat all but vanish.
Rolling 12-month figures by region, refreshed with each NAPIC release.
Johor Bahru and Kulai — two thirds of the state's transactions, and the only part of Johor with a substantial high-rise market.
Batu Pahat, Muar, Tangkak and Pontian — established town markets, almost entirely landed and freehold, and the strongest five-year growth in the state.
Kluang, Segamat, Kota Tinggi and Mersing — the most affordable part of the state, with terraced medians around half the Johor Bahru figure.
