Inside the Sabah property market

Sabah spans 24 districts with 9,473 recorded subsale transactions. The median transaction price across the state is RM400,000, or roughly RM284 per square foot — a useful benchmark when weighing value between districts.

The most active districts here are Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan and Penampang, where transaction volume and pricing data are deepest. Each district below carries its own median price and 12-month PSF movement, so you can spot where momentum is building before it shows up in the headline numbers.

Use the transaction history from 2021 to 2026 to ground your own valuation, compare like-for-like within Sabah, and decide which district best fits how you intend to buy, sell, or invest.
