EdgeProp Malaysia App: Check out the area with MapIQ before buying your next home

• Read how you can use EdgeProp’s MapIQ, a data-powered mapping tool, to obtain the latest property data and market insights in the housing market of your targeted property. 

PETALING JAYA (March 18): Finding a home is a fundamental goal for most of us. However, despite the digital age, housing market information remains scattered online. When homebuyers plan to purchase a property, they often search the web for listings but are quickly overwhelmed by the massive volume of information before making any decisions.

To counter these pain points, EdgeProp Malaysia has launched a new, data-powered mapping tool system in an app. The EdgeProp Malaysia App is easy to use and helps homebuyers make better decisions, backed by inclusive property market data.

To help you find your home, the enhanced EdgeProp mobile app is developed with MapIQ, a mapping tool that consolidates all the essential property data into a single platform, which will allow you to search for properties and toggle between information layers.

Among its many functions, property seekers can tap and view current property market data, such as transaction patterns and visualisation of an area.

Here are a few ways the dynamic map can help you in your property search:

1) Access project information directly on the map

Selecting the "Project Info” layer will show you details of upcoming projects scheduled from 2025 to 2029. You can view prices and unit information by clicking on the project pins on the map, providing a quick overview of available options in your preferred location.
Furthermore, you can explore completed projects and view the latest transaction price ranges to understand the market value of the existing projects. Whether you are planning to buy a newly launched or sub-sale property, you can use “Project Info” to help you make informed decisions. 

2) View neighbourhood data like infrastructure and amenities 

Apart from the property project itself, we know that what makes a home a home are neighbourhood and community features that align with your lifestyle. By activating the "Live Well" layer, you'll gain insights such as traffic patterns and the availability of clinics and hospitals in the area to check if they cater to your daily needs.

For families seeking schools for their children, the "Education" layer allows you to search for educational institutions, from preschools to high schools, within the desired neighbourhood.

3) Draw & analyse: mapping intelligence at your fingertips

Before moving into a neighbourhood, whether for work or to live in, having up-to-date property data will help you understand an area. Information like average transacted prices of landed versus non-landed, and total units of proposed or under-construction housing, will give you an idea how an area is developing. 

At the same time, these property data will give sellers an insight into the demand patterns of properties within their areas.

Use the "Draw & Analyse" function on MapIQ to view these data on your preferred area:
- Sale transactions
- Rental transactions
- Land use status & count
- Proposed & under-construction projects
- And more!

In short, making better property decisions can be easier with the EdgeProp Malaysia App. Whether you are evaluating an investment potential or simply checking out a desired neighbourhood, do it in a few clicks on MapIQ to generate useful analytical results.
