Johor was the only state that gained confidence while the overall Malaysia residential market stayed flatish in 2025 as developers stayed cautious.

Henry Butcher Malaysia chief operating officer Tang Chee Meng said the residential property market appeared to have plateaued in 2025, with national transaction volume declining 2.75% to 187,073 in the first nine months, while transaction value slipped 0.3% to RM77,883.44 million.

“The main markets of Selangor and Penang registered a drop in both volume and value, while Kuala Lumpur recorded a decline in volume, but an increase in value. Only Johor saw growth in both,” he said during the media presentation of the Henry Butcher Perspective—Malaysia Property Outlook 2025 report last week.
