Johor emerges as Malaysia’s second-largest residential market—JLL Malaysia
Johor has established itself as Malaysia’s second-largest residential market in 2025, following Selangor, based on both transaction volume and value. In 3Q2025, Johor recorded 10,500 transactions with a total value of RM5,487 million (S,769 million).
The southern state sustained positive momentum, outperforming the national trend as well as other key markets. For comparison, Selangor reported 14,560 transactions worth RM8,466 million, Kuala Lumpur had 3,789 transactions valued at RM3,452 million and Penang recorded 4,614 transactions totaling RM2,128 million in the same period.
Johor’s performance has been supported by the development of the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone, alongside broad-based infrastructure upgrades, said JLL Malaysia managing director and head of value and risk advisory Jamie Tan in its 4Q2025 property market media presentation here on Tuesday.
Residential demand has also been bolstered by spillover effects arising from the expansion of the data centre and industrial sectors, Tan added.
However, on a y-o-y basis, both transaction volume and value saw consolidation of approximately 17% and 6% respectively, which may suggest a period of market correction.
Industrial land prices in Johor continue upward trend
Meanwhile, industrial land values in Johor have continued to rise, driven by sustained demand across key areas including Iskandar Puteri–Tanjung Pelepas and Kulai–Senai.
JLL Malaysia logistics and industrial senior manager Derek Yap said that the average price psf reached RM86 in 2025, marking an 8.4% y-o-y increase from RM79 in 2024. This consistent growth since 2020, approaching pre-pandemic levels, suggests the market is stabilising following earlier economic disruptions.
Major industrial zones such as SiLC (Southern Industrial and Logistics Clusters) Nusajaya, Nusajaya TechPark, Senai IP, i-Park@Indahpura, SME@Indahpura, Indahpura IP, Johor Technology Park, Pasir Gudang IP and Tanjung Langsat IP continue to attract occupiers across sectors including electrical and electronics, logistics, automotive, data centre-related supply chains, medical and fast-moving consumer goods.
Yap added that the market benefits from investor-friendly policies, strategic positioning and regional diversification strategies, including the China Plus One approach.

Expert predicts further gains for sellers as Australian house prices rise for another month
It’s full steam ahead for the real estate market coming into Christmas with a new report revealing nationwide home value growth over the past month.
The December edition of PropTrack’s Home Price Index showed national home prices rose by 0.51 per cent in November, pushing annual growth for all dwellings to 8.7 per cent.
Australian houses rose by ,700 for the year, to now sit at a median value of 9,000. Units grew by ,400 to reach 3,000.
Three interest rate cuts this year, in addition to population inflow, investor activity and the federal government’s expanded home guarantee scheme were key factors in driving price growth, according to REA Group senior economist Eleanor Creagh.
“These will continue to bolster demand, along with upgrade activity,” Ms Creagh said. “Meanwhile, stock on market has been pretty tight this year, despite having seen an uplift over the past month with the spring selling surge.”
Regional areas led the way, growing by 0.6 per cent for the month and 9.26 per cent annually, while capital cities grew 0.48 per cent and 8.54 per cent for month and year respectively.
Perth remains the strongest performing capital, with 0.9 per cent growth for the month bringing its annual surge to 15.5 per cent.
Adelaide matched Perth’s monthly growth and now sits 12.2 per cent higher for the year, while Brisbane’s 0.64 per cent growth has pushed its annual growth to 13.68 per cent.
“We have seen momentum broadening this year, with price growth re-accelerating in Sydney and Melbourne, but also in Hobart and Darwin,” Ms Creagh said. “In terms of annual growth, Darwin is actually the second strongest market in the country, outpaced only by Perth.
“There’s been a very clear acceleration in the pace of growth in Darwin and a very clear turnaround in market conditions.”
Ms Creagh said there were several factors that could slow growth in 2026
“Broadly, it looks like further price gains into summer, although the extended pause on interest rates and APRA’s cap on high debt to income lending is probably going to temper momentum into the first half of 2026,” she said. “So we could see the pace of growth easing off slightly.”
However, she believes the underlying lack of supply across the nation will “put a floor under home prices”.
“The delivery of new housing remains constrained, so conditions have been tilted towards sellers and I’d say that’s going to remain the case,” she said. “Building approvals, which are really the best case scenario of what gets built, are still tracking well below target.
“It doesn’t look like we’re going to see a surge in completions, but I’d probably say we’re moving from maybe acute stress toward gradual recovery.”
