π Malaysia Property Market Outlook β Real Facts Mid-2025
Here’s a clear snapshot of what’s really happening in Malaysia’s property market — no fluff, just facts you can trust.

π 1. Transaction Activity Slipping in Early 2025
According to National Property Information Centre (NAPIC), in Q1 2025 Malaysia recorded 97,772 property transactions worth approximately RM 51.42 billion, representing a decline of 6.2% in volume and 8.9% in value compared to Q1 2024. οΏΌ
This shows although demand exists, buyer decision-making is becoming more cautious.

π 2. House Prices Stable, Growth Slowing
The Valuation & Property Services Department (JPPH) data show the national average house price at around RM 483,879 in Q4 2024. Growth was about +1.4% year-on-year, but on a quarterly basis, prices actually fell by around 2%.
Meaning: Prices aren’t crashing — but the rapid growth of past years has slowed.

π 3. Buyer Trends Becoming Clearer
Research from iProperty indicates a growing preference for landed homes over high-rise units. Buyers are increasingly looking for space, privacy and suburban environments. οΏΌ
So if you’re thinking “high-rise only” — maybe worth checking other options too.

π 4. What It Means for You
• For home-buyers: You have more time to make decisions — urgency is less now. But don’t wait too long and miss locations you like.
• For investors: Quality and fundamentals matter even more than hype — location, accessibility and product type will make a difference.
• For sellers: Understand realistic pricing — market isn’t booming at double-digits anymore, so valuation needs care.
