Zac’s Take
Zac Ong
MARC Residences is a freehold serviced residence in Bukit Mertajam by the Jayamas Property Group: 110 homes of about 1,070 to 1,330 sq ft, completed in early 2024.
Listings have run from around RM485,000 to RM550,000, depending on the layout and condition.
It suits buyers who want a new home in central Bukit Mertajam, close to the town's schools, shops and the route to Juru and the industrial parks. As a serviced residence, confirm the title and how utilities are billed before you compare it with a residential condo.
Available Listings
No listings currently on file. Zac may have off-market units available.

Immediate occupancy
Move in within months, not years. Most resales complete in four to six months, a little longer if you need state consent as a foreign buyer.
Verified surroundings
Bukit Mertajam's noise levels, traffic, neighbour mix, and JMC quality are known quantities at Marc Residences.
Established maintenance
The building has a track record. Ask for the management accounts, sinking fund balance and recent meeting minutes before you commit.
How Marc Residences is priced within Bukit Mertajam
At roughly RM420 psf, Marc Residences prices toward the upper end of Bukit Mertajam's condo band (RM260–450 psf). Expect to justify that with something concrete: sea view, low density, branded management, or a genuinely superior position within the area.

5 things to check before signing the Marc Residences SPA
- 1.Sinking fund health — Confirm the current balance and whether any special assessment is pending in the next 12 months. A thin sinking fund on an ageing building means you inherit the bill.
- 2.Last 3 maintenance billings — Verify payment is up to date and no dues are outstanding from the seller — arrears transfer with the unit, not the person.
- 3.JMC minutes (last 12 months) — Look for recurring complaints, structural concerns, or planned major works. This is the single most revealing document most buyers never ask for.
- 4.Common-area condition — Physically walk the pool deck, lifts, lobbies, gym and parking ramps. Photograph anything concerning — it is negotiation leverage.
- 5.Management track record — Ask who manages the building and how long they have held the contract. Frequent turnover of managing agents usually signals a difficult JMB.

Recent prices. Entry from RM547,800; median selling price around RM570,000. Built-ups 1,070-1,330 sqft across 26 storeys.
The building is 2 years old. Still young. The defects liability period has long expired, so anything outstanding is now the management corporation’s problem and, through the sinking fund, partly yours. Check what was actually rectified.
A foreign buyer can purchase here — the RM500,000 minimum is cleared by the larger units, though not at the entry price. Add the state levy, a flat 8% stamp duty and 3–4 months for state consent.
Selling rather than buying? The RPGT rates and the 21B retention decide what you keep — and if you are near the five-to-six-year line, the date matters more than the price.
