How Novus is priced within Sungai Nibong

RM320 psfβ‰ˆRM616 psfRM753 psf

At roughly RM616 psf, Novus prices toward the upper end of Sungai Nibong's condo band (RM320–753 psf). Expect to justify that with something concrete: sea view, low density, branded management, or a genuinely superior position within the area.

PSF bands are area-level indicative ranges from our own tracking, cross-checked against NAPIC/JPPH and Brickz transaction data β€” see the Penang Price Index. Unit-level pricing varies with floor, view and renovation; ask Zac for the actual transacted comparables in this building.

The Novus pre-purchase checklist

  1. 1.Remaining lease (if leasehold) β€” Ask for the exact expiry year. Banks tighten lending as the remaining term shortens, which affects both your loan and your future buyer's.
  2. 2.Outstanding charges and caveats β€” Your lawyer should run a full land search for caveats, charges or restrictions in interest before you release any deposit.
  3. 3.Genuine transacted comparables β€” Ask for recent transacted prices in the same block, not asking prices. Asking prices tell you what sellers hope for, not what the market pays.
  4. 4.Exit tax position β€” Model your RPGT before you buy, not when you sell. Holding period changes the maths substantially, especially for foreign owners.
  5. 5.Vacant possession terms β€” Agree in writing what stays β€” air-conditioners, built-ins, curtains, lights. Fixture disputes at handover are entirely avoidable.

Developer launch price. This is what the developer charged at launch, not what the building trades at today. Treat it as a floor for negotiation, not a guide to current value.

The building is 6 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.

Every unit here sits below the RM1M foreign-buyer minimum, so this building is open to Malaysian and PR buyers only.

Selling rather than buying? The RPGT rates and the 21B retention decide what you keep β€” and if you are near the five-to-six-year line, the date matters more than the price.

Novus for sale & for rent

Looking to buy or rent a unit in Novus? Asking prices and rents move with the market and with the specific unit β€” floor, facing, condition β€” so rather than quote a stale number, message Zac for the current listings and a straight read on what is realistic today.

Novus subsale β€” common questions

What is the price of Novus?

Novus runs RM530,000 and up. That is the developer launch price, not what the building trades at today. Treat it as a floor for negotiation. That works out to about RM616–753 per square foot. Checked 2026-07-20.

Is Novus freehold or leasehold?

Novus is freehold. We do not hold the land title class on record β€” confirm it with the developer, because a commercial title changes your utility tariffs and loan margin.

Can a foreigner buy at Novus?

Not at current prices. Penang Island sets a RM1,000,000 minimum for foreign buyers and no unit here clears it, so Novus is open to Malaysian and PR buyers only.

When was Novus completed?

Novus completed in 2020, developed by Prisma Bumiraya Sdn. Bhd. (Pearl Ocean). Units here trade sub-sale.

How big are the units at Novus?

Built-ups run 860 to 1,155 sq ft. There are 273 units in total.

Who developed Novus?

Prisma Bumiraya Sdn. Bhd. (Pearl Ocean).
