Bandar Seri Alam, Masai

• Every rent below is an asking price from a property portal, not a transacted rent.
• Every table states when it was read and how many listings it came from. Thin samples are labelled as such — no averages are computed from a handful of listings.

Among this round's PropertyGuru commercial listings, 31 factories (after removing duplicates) had Bandar Seri Alam addresses, mostly medium to large: RM6,000 – 38,000 for 5,000 – 20,000 sq ft (14 listings) and RM34,000 – 118,900 above 20,000 sq ft (16). Asking prices; sizes as stated in the listings.

Now you have seen the rents — which one are you?

Renting, letting or selling in Bandar Seri Alam, Masai — come straight to me for any of the three.

So the official figure — a median household income of RM8,977 for Johor Bahru district — covers every household in the district, including the large share working entirely on the Malaysian side: one person's Singapore salary is close to the median for a whole household across the district. Bandar Seri Alam is about 31 minutes by car to the JB CIQ (in the traffic when queried on the afternoon of 19 October). The township has industrial land; landed listings this round were mostly two-storey terraces, and condos mostly Midas @ Seri Alam.

• Landed is mostly two-storey terraces, with some three-storey terraces.
• Condos are mostly Midas @ Seri Alam, with many small layouts (studio to two-bedroom).
• The township has medium and large factories, with more factory listings than shop listings.
• The crossing used is the Causeway (JB CIQ) via the JB East Coast Parkway.

Whether this is a Chinese-majority or a Malay-majority area is not stated here. The statistics department publishes ethnic breakdowns by district, but only down to "Johor Bahru district" — not to Bandar Seri Alam. Applying a district-wide ratio to a single neighbourhood would be wrong, so this is left blank until sub-district data can be found.

Everything above is public. What actually decides it — what is vacant now, what it really signs at, what yours would sell for today — is not public. Ask me.

Due in the next version: Move the rents onto transacted data from the National Property Information Centre (NAPIC/JPPH) rather than asking prices alone; add population and the ethnic breakdown once sub-district data can be found; split condos by bathroom count listing by listing. Asking rents move, so the figures on this page are re-checked every six months.
