Thinking of investing in 2018 but unsure where to start? No worries, we’ve done the research for you and combed through iPropertyiQ.com to identify the best performing residential projects throughout Malaysia in terms of capital appreciation.
Unsurprisingly, 4 of the top winners were garnered by condos in the Klang Valley while the number one spot went to Malacca. In the terrace home category, Johor conquered the first four positions, with Ipoh rounding up the list.
The winners were ranked according to the highest year-on-year growth in property value from October 2016 to September 2017 (Refer to footnotes). Sales data is captured from the Valuation and Property Services Department (JPPH) and compiled by iProperty.com’s big data solution, iPropertyiQ.com.

NOTES:
1) The data from JPPH officially record a property transaction once the stamp duty for the Sales and Purchase Agreement is paid, hence why the review period ended in September 2017, as the data from JPPH has not been released yet. Analytics are based on the data available at the date of publication and may be subject to revision as and when more data becomes available.
2) The capital growth value shown is the average capital appreciation of all transactions within the project/scheme throughout the review period.
3 ) Residential projects with less than 10 transactions were not taken into consideration when selecting the top 5 winners.
