“Double-storey homes in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya are forecast to rise 3-4% in 2025, says property expert Sean Tan. Industrial properties in Johor and Selangor also show high growth potential.“
Kuala Lumpur, 06th Jan 2025, 11.20am – The prices of double-storey residential houses in the Klang Valley, particularly in high-demand areas of Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Petaling Jaya (PJ), are forecast to rise by 3% to 4% this year, according to property influencer and YouTuber Sean Tan.
In hotspots such as Desa ParkCity, Bangsar, and Mont’Kiara, the demand for residential properties remains strong, driving up prices. Tan highlighted that landed homes, especially those in gated and guarded communities, are performing exceptionally well as buyers prioritize safety and security.
This upward trend reflects the growing preference for well-located and secure landed properties in urban hubs, making them a solid investment choice for prospective homebuyers.
Malaysia’s property market is poised for notable shifts in 2025, with industrial properties and well-located residential developments leading the charge, according to property influencer Sean Tan.
Speaking on Bernama TV’s The Nation, Tan highlighted that high-demand areas like Desa ParkCity are already experiencing skyrocketing prices due to limited supply and exceptional living quality. However, he cautioned that older neighborhoods such as SS2 and Kepong might hit a price ceiling due to affordability constraints and competition from newer, more secure developments.
Tan identified industrial properties as the year’s star performers, particularly in Johor and the Klang Valley, with hotspots emerging in areas like Jelutong, Penang, and Lagong, Selangor. These areas are attracting multinational companies due to competitive land prices and new infrastructure developments.
“The completion of infrastructure projects like the East Coast Rail Link and the Light Rail Transit in Penang will boost property demand in areas along these routes,” Tan explained. He added that regions like Pahang, Kelantan, and Puncak Alam are becoming promising growth areas, driven by industrial expansion and highway projects like the West Coast Expressway.
For buyers, Tan advised a strategic approach: “First-time homebuyers should focus on affordability and needs, while investors should target properties with strong rental yields, limited supply, and future growth potential.”
As infrastructure development continues to shape Malaysia’s real estate landscape, Tan emphasized the importance of data-driven decision-making to identify the best opportunities in this evolving market.
