From analysis of transactions by TheEdgeProperty.com, the average transacted price for non-landed homes in the secondary market was RM363 per square foot (psf) in 1Q2015, up 14.2% y-o-y, primarily due to the advent of newer, modern condominiums.
• Average prices have grown modestly across the market. The highest relative price growths were among the affordable properties, in part due to their lower capital bases.

• Within the mid-market segment, the highest price growth can be found at Platinum Hill PV 6. The average price here grew 21.8% y-o-y to RM411 psf in the 12 months to 1Q2015. Average prices at the Platinum Hill projects range between RM386 psf at Platinum Hill PV 5 and RM467 at Platinum Hill PV 2.

• Annual indicative yields are fairly decent, ranging from 3.7% to 5.6% per annum. The highest indicative annual yields can be found at Idaman Sutera where rents are fairly average but the rental yield is elevated due to the small unit sizes.
