How these figures are worked out
Source: NAPIC Open Sales Data, sales recorded from February 2021 to June 2026. "Typical" is the median: half of the sales were higher, half lower. "Half of sales between" is the 25th to 75th percentile. We leave out sales under RM 50 or over RM 5,000 per sq ft, and landed sales whose recorded floor space is under a fifth of the land (usually the office floor only). Strata units use their unit area. A place needs 30 sales for a page, a type 10 sales for a row and a year 20 sales for a bar. NAPIC adds late sales for months, so the latest year is incomplete. Last updated 10 October 2026.
