Current Asking & Listing Status
This page uses RM1.2 million as the reference asking price for the supplied corner unit. Current availability, exact land measurement, renovation condition, furnishing, title particulars and viewing access should be reconfirmed before appointment.
Reference profile: corner terrace · approx. 2,580 sqft built-up · 5 bedrooms · 4 bathrooms · 2 car parks.
Large Family / Landed Upgrader
The 5-bedroom layout and larger corner plot suit multigenerational households, families needing more rooms, and buyers upgrading from a standard intermediate terrace while staying near Kota Permai and central Bukit Mertajam.
Current Market Snapshot
The RM1.2 million subject sits within the visible total-price range for Spectrum Garden corner units, but its approximately RM632 land PSF is higher than several larger corner listings because the supplied land area is smaller at about 1,900 sqft. Total price alone therefore understates the importance of plot size, renovation, orientation and exact row position.
- Reference askingRM1,200,000
- Land area≈ 1,900 sqft
- Built-up≈ 2,580 sqft
- Land asking rate≈ RM 631.58 psf
- Built-up asking rate≈ RM 465.12 psf
The asking price is comparable in total value with some current corner listings, but the subject carries a higher land-rate because of the smaller corner plot.
- Corner · 2,160 sqft landRM1.20m · ≈ RM556 psf
- Corner · 2,250 sqft landRM1.30m · ≈ RM578 psf
- Corner · 2,925 sqft landRM1.35m · ≈ RM462 psf
The subject is lower or equal in total asking price, but higher on land PSF. Buyers should compare usable side land, renovation, car-porch width, orientation, defects and exact location inside the scheme.

- Median land PSFRM516 psf
- 25th–75th land PSFRM497 – RM590 psf
The subject's roughly RM632 land PSF is above this older registered terrace range. However, the Brickz sample is small, dated and dominated by smaller intermediate plots around 1,302–1,528 sqft, so it should not be treated as a direct corner-unit valuation.

- Visible 5R4B rental references≈ RM1,900 – RM2,800 / month
- Common built-up≈ 2,580 sqft
- Gross asking yield at RM1.2m≈ 1.9% – 2.8% p.a.
The rental references are mostly standard-plot 5-bedroom houses rather than a like-for-like 1,900 sqft corner lot. They suggest this is primarily an own-stay / long-hold landed purchase rather than a high-yield rental product.

Livability Analysis
Spectrum Garden's own-stay appeal comes from a gated landed environment, 5-bedroom family space and mature Kota Permai amenities. The corner plot adds outdoor utility, while the main trade-off is that broader commuting remains road-dependent.
Investment Analysis
The strongest investment argument is scarcity and land utility rather than rental cash flow. The current Propmula assessment totals 27/50: Supply/Demand 7, Cash Flow 2, Appreciation 5, Entry Cost 4 and Product USP 9.
Spectrum Garden Decision Summary
What This Listing Is
A completed / subsale Spectrum Garden corner terrace with approximately 1,900 sqft land, around 2,580 sqft built-up, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 2 car parks inside a gated Kota Permai landed precinct.
Current Market Position
The RM1.2 million total asking is in the same broad zone as visible Spectrum Garden corner listings, but the subject's roughly RM632 land PSF is higher because the supplied plot is smaller than several competing corner units.
Strengths & Trade-offs
Strengths are gated landed living, large 5R4B built-up, corner-land utility and excellent access to Kota Permai amenities. Trade-offs are modest rental yield, a high absolute entry price, road dependence and the need to verify exact title, land measurement and renovation condition.
Best-Fit Buyer
Best suited to large families, multigenerational households and landed upgraders who value space, privacy and a mature Bukit Mertajam location more than short-term rental cash flow.
