On the district median of RM 395,000, with a 10% deposit over 30 years at 4.2%.
| Monthly instalment | RM 1,738 |

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.

Flood damage to homes
DOSM recorded RM52k of flood damage to homes in Timur Laut over 2021–2025 — about RM 0 for every home, against RM 306 nationally. 118 of 125 areas recorded more per home. Homes here were damaged in 1 of the 5 years; the worst was 2022, at RM52k.
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 Penang, landlords advertise a whole home at a median of RM 1,750/month, which is a gross yield of 5.1% against the state's registered median price — from 17,082 advertised homes.
This is Penang, not Timur Laut. 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.
