Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average price of new property in George Town, Penang in 2026?▼
New property in George Town, Penang in 2026 ranges from RM300,000 for apartments in outer areas like Relau and Air Itam to RM3M+ for luxury condominiums along Gurney Drive and Tanjung Tokong. The Penang Island median condominium price is approximately RM520,000 based on NAPIC transaction data. New launches in growth corridors like Bayan Lepas and Tanjung Tokong are priced from RM420,000–RM900,000.
Can foreigners buy property in Penang?▼
Yes — foreigners can buy property in Penang subject to the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme and a minimum purchase price of RM1,000,000 for most property types on Penang Island (as of 2026). Penang Island is one of Malaysia's most popular destinations for foreign buyers and MM2H applicants due to its international lifestyle, English-speaking community, good healthcare, and global connectivity. Some heritage properties in George Town may have additional restrictions — always verify with a licensed solicitor.
Is George Town Penang a good Airbnb investment?▼
George Town is Malaysia's top Airbnb market with year-round occupancy driven by cultural tourism, food tourism, and expatriate short stays. UNESCO World Heritage City status attracts consistent international visitor flow. Airbnb gross rental yields of 6–9% are achievable for well-located units near the heritage zone, Gurney Drive or SPICE Arena in Bayan Lepas. Operators should check local council short-term rental regulations before listing.
Is it better to buy on Penang Island or Penang Mainland?▼
Penang Island (George Town area) commands premium prices due to land scarcity, heritage status, and strong expat and tourist demand. Mainland Penang (Seberang Prai — Bukit Mertajam, Butterworth, Batu Kawan) offers significantly more affordable options, particularly for new landed properties, with prices starting from RM250,000 for terrace houses. For capital appreciation and lifestyle living, island property has historically outperformed. For affordability and rental yield from local workers, mainland properties offer better entry points.
What is the MM2H programme and how does it affect Penang property?▼
The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme allows foreigners to obtain a long-term residency visa in Malaysia. Penang is among Malaysia's most popular MM2H destinations. Holders can purchase property under the programme subject to state-specific minimum price thresholds (RM1,000,000 on Penang Island). The programme drives steady demand for premium condominiums in Gurney Drive, Tanjung Tokong, and Straits Quay — supporting property values in the RM800k–RM2M segment in 2026.
