Market analysis and guides for property investors in Malaysia — backed by real government records and live listing data.

About this blog

Every article on PropertyKini is built directly from data — government transaction records from NAPIC/JPPH and live rental listings. In the process, we use AI to remove outliers and model financing costs to help give you the most accurate for long term rental invesments.

Our methodology is transparent: we publish sample sizes, data periods, and calculation assumptions alongside every data point. With this, we hope to empower Malaysia investors to make unbiased & informed decisions.
