Can foreigners buy property in Johor Bahru?

Yes — foreigners can buy property in Johor Bahru, subject to state rules, developer eligibility, and title checks. The process is familiar (booking, SPA, loan or cash, completion) but the constraints differ from buying as a Malaysian citizen.

Floor price and special zones

Most of Johor applies a minimum purchase price for foreign buyers. Medini (within Iskandar Puteri) has been treated differently for foreign purchases — which is why many overseas buyers start there. Rules evolve; treat any figure you see online as a lead, not the final word.

Practical shortlist filters

- Corridor: Medini / Iskandar, CIQ–RTS commute belts, or family areas such as Tebrau - Tenure: freehold when that is a hard requirement - Product: condo vs landed (landed foreign purchases can be more restricted) - Budget: include legal fees, stamp duty, and renovation
