Henry Butcher Malaysia expects the residential property market in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor to be stable in 2025.
The firm said the market will continue to record positive increases in the volume and value of transactions, although it believes that due to the still cautious consumer sentiments, the increases will just be in the single digits.
“As the country’s leading residential markets, we believe the continued stability and growth in these regions will contribute to a further reduction in the residential overhang. House prices may rise as well, though at a more moderate pace,” the firm said in its latest property market 2025 report.

Property sector to gain from rising demand for data centres, industrial assets
March 12, 2025 @ 12:16pm
The property sector is anticipated to gain from the increasing demand for data centres and industrial properties in Malaysia, which will enhance the value of property developers’ landbanks.
MIDF Research stated that the 3 per cent overnight policy rate (OPR) is likely to continue supporting buying interest in the sector.
The firm added that despite the rise in residential overhang in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2024 (4QCY24), it believes property overhang in Malaysia remains stable, with residential overhang staying below the 3-year average of 27,000 units.
“Property overhang in Johor continues to improve with lower residential overhang, which fell from 3,030 units in the third quarter of the calendar year 2024 (3QCY24) to 2,964 units in 4QCY24.
