Johor's housing market is shaped by two forces: a large stock of landed homes across Johor Bahru, Kulai, Batu Pahat and Muar, and a wave of high-rise supply in and around Johor Bahru city, Iskandar Puteri and the Causeway corridor to Singapore.
The Johor Bahru-Singapore RTS Link and the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone have renewed interest in Johor Bahru property, especially condos near the Bukit Chagar RTS station. The comparison below uses recorded sale transactions across Johor's districts and active SuperHomes listings, so you can judge the condo-versus-landed gap on what buyers actually paid.

Which one suits you?
Choose a condo if
- You are targeting tenants or buyers linked to Singapore and want to be near the Causeway or the RTS Link station
- You want a lower entry price close to Johor Bahru city
- You want guarded living with facilities included
Choose a landed house if
- You want the space and privacy that Johor's large landed stock offers at prices well below the Klang Valley
- You are buying a home to live in for the long term rather than to rent out
- You would rather not depend on the high-rise rental market, where supply in Johor Bahru has been heavy
Frequently asked questions
How much does a condo cost compared with a landed house in Johor?
In recorded sale transactions in Johor over the 12 months to Sep 2025, the median condo sold for RM373,000 and the median landed house for RM500,000. At the median, landed houses sold for 34% more than condos. This is based on 208 condo and 3,413 landed house sales.
Is it a good time to buy a condo in Johor Bahru?
Interest has picked up because of the RTS Link and the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, but Johor Bahru also carries a large overhang of unsold high-rise units from earlier launches. Compare asking prices against recorded transactions in the same development or neighbourhood, and check occupancy and rental demand before assuming the RTS Link will lift every project.
Why do landed homes dominate Johor transaction records?
Outside Johor Bahru city most housing in Johor is landed (terraces, semi-Ds and bungalows in established towns and newer townships), so landed homes naturally make up most recorded sales. High-rise transactions are concentrated in Johor Bahru and Iskandar Puteri.

How these figures are calculated
Transaction figures are medians of recorded sale transactions (JPPH-derived) in Johor's districts over the latest 12 recorded months (Oct 2024 to Sep 2025); recorded data is published with a lag, so the window trails today's date. Transacted price per square foot uses recorded built-up (floor) area only; sales without one are left out of that figure. Condo covers condominiums, apartments, flats and other high-rise units; landed covers terraced, semi-detached, detached, cluster and town houses. Listing figures are medians of active for-sale listings on SuperHomes in Johor, shown only when at least 5 listings have the figure. None of this is a valuation; always check comparable sales for the specific property.
