Taman Molek, JB

• 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.

There is no industrial land in Taman Molek — it is residential plus commercial shophouses. A PropertyGuru commercial search for "Taman Molek" this round returned no factory listings. The nearest industrial areas and their rents are still to come.

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

Renting, letting or selling in Taman Molek, JB — 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. Taman Molek is about 21 minutes by car to the JB CIQ (in the traffic when queried on the afternoon of 19 October). This round the condo listings were concentrated in the Molek Pine blocks, mostly three-bedrooms; landed was mostly single- and 1.5-storey terraces.

• Landed is mostly single- and 1.5-storey terraces; 1.5-storey is the largest sample.
• Condos sit in Molek Pine 1, 3 and 4 and Molek Ria, mostly three-bedrooms.
• Jalan Molek has many commercial shophouses, and plenty of shop listings.
• The crossing used is the Causeway (JB CIQ).

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 Taman Molek. 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 the ethnic breakdown once sub-district data can be found; confirm the local authority and mukim; split condos by bathroom count listing by listing. Asking rents move, so the figures on this page are re-checked every six months.
