What the median here asks of a buyer
On the district median of RM 312,000, with a 10% deposit over 30 years at 4.2%.
| Monthly instalment | RM 1,373 |
|---|---|
| Cash needed before keys | RM 42,120 |
| Gross income needed | RM 2,791/mo |
| Years of local income | 6.4× — severely unaffordable against RM 4,070/mo median household income here, DOSM 2024 |
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.

Shown together with Kuala Penyu because police report them as one area. 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 RM7.59M of flood damage to homes in Beaufort over 2021–2025 — about RM 460 for every home, against RM 306 nationally. 27 of 125 areas recorded more per home. Homes here were damaged in 4 of the 5 years; the worst was 2025, at RM7.41M.
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 Sabah, landlords advertise a whole home at a median of RM 2,000/month, which is a gross yield of 6% against the state's registered median price — from 3,604 advertised homes.
This is Sabah, not Beaufort. 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.
