Some of the growth, he noted, particularly around new property launches, is being driven by optimism over the upcoming RTS Link, with prices for some residential units already exceeding RM1,000 psf ($316.09 psf). “This is actually a bit speculative in those areas,” Sulaiman told reporters on the sidelines of Rahim & Co’s Property Market Review 2025/2026 briefing.
The Johor property market is booming thanks to projects like the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link and the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), but there are risks of over-speculation beyond the areas directly benefiting from them, according to a consultant.
Rahim & Co International Property Consultants director of research Sulaiman Saheh said growth opportunities are strongest along the RTS and JS-SEZ corridor, but it remains uncertain how far the spillover effect will reach other parts of the state.
