Current Market Snapshot
At RM1.35 million, the subject works out to approximately RM233 psf on land and RM422 psf on built-up. Because exact same-project public transaction evidence is limited and large-corner-lot bungalow stock is not frequently traded, practical market reading should focus on size, tenure, corner-lot premium, exact condition and the unusually strong opposite-AEON-Mall location.
- Reference askingRM1,350,000
- Reference land rate≈ RM233 psf
- Reference built-up rate≈ RM422 psf
- Observed market contextLarge Alma landed homes usually vary widely by land and condition
For a large corner-lot bungalow, direct like-for-like comparisons are naturally limited. The exact premium should be judged against age, renovation standard, frontage and neighbourhood street quality.
- Same-project public dataLimited / not reliably matched in public view
- Valuation approachCompare on land size, tenure and corner-lot premium
- Most important checksTitle, approved built-up, renovations, drainage
- Buyer noteLarge landed stock is more heterogeneous than terrace-house stock
Instead of forcing a weak median from mismatched stock, this page highlights the variables that most affect a landed bungalow valuation in Alma.
- Indicative wider Alma landed rent context≈ RM3,000 – RM4,500 / month
- Indicative gross yield on RM1.35m≈ 2.67% – 4.00% p.a.
- InterpretationMore own-stay driven than yield-driven
Rental evidence for large owner-occupied bungalows is thin and inconsistent. This supports the view that the product is more compelling as a spacious own-stay landed home than as a high-cash-flow investment.
How to read RM1.35M
RM1.35 million should be read as a location-and-land-driven asking price. The large 5,800 sqft corner lot, bungalow format and opposite-AEON-Mall address are the key price anchors. Buyers should compare exact legal tenure, lot shape, renovation age, roof / wiring condition and seller urgency before deciding whether the premium is justified.
