2025 Johor Bahru Property Market Forecast  Is Now the Best Time to Invest? Especially JB CIQ Condo??

Overview: A Golden Era for JB Real Estate

In 2025, the Johor Bahru (JB) property market is entering a growth phase fueled by major infrastructure projects, increasing foreign investment, and strong rental demand. With the RTS Link to Singapore nearing completion and the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program regaining momentum, more people are exploring the best condos near JB CIQ and high-yield property investments in Bukit Chagar, Stulang Laut, and Kebun Teh.


 

Why 2025 Is a Turning Point for JB Real Estate

1. RTS Link – Game Changer for Bukit Chagar
   By end-2026, the Rapid Transit System (RTS) will directly link Bukit Chagar to Singapore in under 6 minutes. Properties near the terminal, such as in Bukit Chagar and Kebun Teh, are seeing growing attention from investors looking for RTS apartments with high capital appreciation.
   
    

2. CIQ Zone – Prime for Short-Term Rentals
   Properties near JB CIQ and Stulang Laut are ideal for short-stay and Airbnb-friendly condos. These areas attract:

   • Singaporean weekenders

   • Healthcare tourists

   • Expats and MM2H residents

3. Foreign Demand Rising Again
   With MM2H restructured and relaxed in 2024, Malaysia is once again attractive to international retirees and second-home seekers, making MM2H property investment in Johor Bahru a rising trend.
