On the district median of RM 260,000, with a 10% deposit over 30 years at 4.2%.
| Monthly instalment | RM 1,144 |
|---|---|
| Cash needed before keys | RM 35,100 |

The instalment and the cash are arithmetic. The income figure assumes a 60% debt-service ratio and no other commitments — a car loan or a card balance raises it, often sharply. Years of local income makes no assumption about lending at all, which is why both are shown. Run your own numbers.
Reported crime
In 2023, 0.78 reported crimes per 1,000 residents in Pekan — below the national 1.57. Break-ins ran at 0.18 per 1,000, against 0.35 nationally.
Reported crime is what reached the police, not all crime, and it is per resident, so busy centres read high. It describes the whole district, not any one street. Every district compared.
Flood damage to homes
DOSM recorded RM33.75M of flood damage to homes in Pekan over 2021–2025 — about RM 1,050 for every home, against RM 306 nationally. 11 of 125 areas recorded more per home. Homes here were damaged in 5 of the 5 years; the worst was 2021, at RM32.50M.
These are losses assessed after floods that happened, not a forecast. A district is a large area and flooding is local — most homes in even the worst-hit districts were never touched — so this cannot say whether a particular street floods. Every district compared.
What it rents for
Across Pahang, landlords advertise a whole home at a median of RM 1,300/month, which is a gross yield of 5.4% against the state's registered median price — from 464 advertised homes.
This is Pahang, not Pekan. Rental listings are filed under suburb names that do not map onto the register's districts, so a district-level rent would have to be guessed. The rent is what landlords ask; the price is what buyers paid and lodged — so the yield is half advertised and half registered, and it is a gross figure before maintenance, assessment, vacancy and agent fees.
