Sell your landed home in Penang — priced on the land, not a guess
A bungalow, semi-detached or terrace is not a condo — it is closer to unique, and it is valued on land, location and condition, not a per-square-foot strata comparison. Selling one well starts with an honest, evidence-based price and the right buyer pool. That is the job.

Bungalows & villas
Detached homes where land size and position drive the price. The scarcest residential category on the island, and the one where an honest valuation matters most.
Semi-detached
Family homes with land, valued on plot, condition and location. A deep, dependable buyer pool of upgraders.
Terrace & link houses
The workhorse of the Penang landed market — priced on area, land size and renovation, with the most active resale demand.
How it works
Valued on land, not a strata guess
A landed home is priced on land size, frontage, location and condition — from recent landed sales in your neighbourhood, not a per-square-foot condo comparison that does not apply.
Positioned to the right pool
Family upgraders, downsizers, and where the title and area allow it, foreign buyers who can meet the landed rules. The buyer for a bungalow is not the buyer for a terrace, and the marketing reflects that.
Presented properly
Quality photography, a floor and land plan, and a writeup that leads with what makes your home worth the asking — the space, the land, the position — not a generic listing template.
Negotiated and closed
Offers, negotiation and the SPA handled through to completion, with the landed-specific steps — state consent timing, land title checks — managed rather than left for you to chase.
Why landed pricing is a different job
With a condo, there are hundreds of near-identical units and a visible price trail — the market tells you the number. A landed home does not work that way. Land size, frontage, orientation, the exact street, and what you have spent on it all move the price, and comparable sales are fewer and further apart.
That makes the valuation the most important decision in the whole sale — and an inflated one the most damaging, because a landed home priced above the evidence sits, and a home that sits gets stale. An honest number that reflects real recent landed transactions in your area is what sells, and it is what you will get.

How do I sell a landed house in Penang?
Engage a licensed agent to value it against recent transacted landed sales in your area, market it to the right buyers, and manage offers and the SPA through to completion. A landed home is valued on land size, location and condition — not on a per-square-foot strata comparison — so pricing it needs someone who knows what similar land in your neighbourhood actually changed hands for.
How much does it cost to sell a landed property in Penang?
The agent fee is a maximum of 3% of the transacted price under the Seventh Schedule, minimum RM1,000, and is negotiable. Legal fees follow the Solicitors’ Remuneration Order 2023 scale. If you sell within the RPGT window you also pay Real Property Gains Tax — a citizen pays nothing from year six, a foreigner 10% from year six. See the RPGT calculator for your figure.
Can a foreigner buy my landed Penang home?
Sometimes, and it is more restricted than for a condo. Landed property on Penang Island carries a higher foreign-buyer minimum than strata and, in many areas, a quota, and state consent runs closer scrutiny on landed than on strata. That narrows your foreign buyer pool — which is exactly why pricing and positioning to the right pool matters.
Why is selling landed different from selling a condo?
A condo is one of hundreds of near-identical units with a visible transacted price trail. A landed home is closer to unique — land size, frontage, orientation, renovation and exact location all move the price, and comparable sales are fewer and further apart. That makes an honest, evidence-based valuation the single most important step, and an inflated one the most damaging.
