  1. Navigating the Johor Bahru Property Market: A 10-Step Guide to Selling Your House: Selling a house for sale in Johor Bahru doesn't have to be overwhelming. With careful planning and execution, you can streamline the process and secure a successful sale. Before listing your property, ensure all aspects are in order. This guide will walk you through the essential steps, from preparing your property to finalizing the sale. Remember, this process can take six months or more, so starting early is crucial. A significant incentive for sellers is the 2022 budget's elimination of the Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) for Malaysian nationals and permanent residents on property disposals after the sixth year of ownership. This change, effective January 1, 2022, reduces the RPGT rate to 0% for properties sold after the sixth year.

  2. Let's dive into the 10 steps to effectively sell your house for sale in Johor Bahru: 1. Clear All Outstanding Dues: ● Quit Rent/Parcel Rent: Settle your annual land tax with the Land Office (Pejabat Tanah Dan Galian). ● Assessment Tax: Pay the local council tax, calculated based on your property's rental value. ● Maintenance Fees: If you own a strata property (condominium, apartment), clear all dues owed to the Management Committee.

  3. ● Rental Income Tax: If applicable, declare and pay taxes on your rental income. 2. Determine Your Property's Value: ● Engage a certified valuer from a reputable company, preferably one registered with the Board of Valuers, Appraisers and Estate Agents Malaysia (BOVAEA). ● The valuer will provide a comprehensive report detailing your property's estimated market value. This step is crucial for sub-sale properties. 3. Set a Competitive Selling Price: ● Consider your selling objectives: quick sale versus maximizing profit.

  4. ● Research current market conditions in Johor Bahru to understand the buying sentiment. ● Analyze comparable properties to ensure your price is competitive. ● Factor in a negotiation margin of 5-10% to accommodate potential buyer offers. 4. Identify Your Target Buyers: ● Develop a profile of your ideal buyer, considering income, lifestyle, and family size. ● Determine if you prefer cash buyers, foreign buyers, or first-time homebuyers (who may have higher loan margins). ● Knowing your target buyer will help you market your house for sale in Johor Bahru more effectively. 5. Prepare Essential Documents: ● Copies of your identity card/passport and bank mortgage statement. ● Copy of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) property title. ● Recent quit rent, assessment tax, and maintenance fee receipts (last three months). ● Utility bills for the last three months. 6. Partner with Real Estate Experts: ● Engage an experienced real estate agent with strong marketing strategies. ● Utilize platforms like a good property listing website to list your house for sale in Johor Bahru and reach potential buyers. ● These experts can also assist those who want to buy house in Johor Bahru. 7. Prepare the Agreement:

  5. ● Work with a lawyer to draft the Letter of Offer and SPA. ● The buyer will typically pay an earnest deposit (1-2% of the sale price) upon signing the Letter of Offer. ● This deposit contributes to the 10% down payment required from the buyer. 8. Sign the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA): ● Upon loan approval, the buyer will pay the remaining 8-9% of the purchase price. ● The remaining 90% is disbursed in two stages, typically within 90 days of the SPA date. ● The buyers lawyer will then be given the property documents, to complete the transfer of ownership. 9. Understand the Property Transfer Timeline: ● Freehold properties (individual/strata titles): Approximately 90 working days. ● Leasehold properties (individual/strata titles): 90 working days plus 1-3 months for state authority approval. ● Freehold master title properties: 3-6 months. ● Leasehold master title properties: 6-12 months. 10. Settle Closing Costs: ● Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT): As mentioned, RPGT may apply depending on the length of ownership. ● Agency Fee: Typically 3.18% of the sale price (including SST). ● Legal Fees: Calculated based on the property's value. Conclusion: Selling a house for sale in Johor Bahru can be a smooth process with proper preparation and professional guidance. By understanding the

  6. market, setting a competitive price, and working with experienced agents, you can successfully navigate the process and achieve a favorable outcome. For those looking to buy a house in Johor Bahru, understanding these steps is also very usefull.
