What the median here asks of a buyer

On the district median of RM 265,000, with a 10% deposit over 30 years at 4.2%.

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, 0.72 reported crimes per 1,000 residents across Pitas and Kota Marudu — below the national 1.57. Break-ins ran at 0.19 per 1,000, against 0.35 nationally.

Shown together with Kota Marudu 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 RM10.15M of flood damage to homes in Pitas over 2021–2025 — about RM 1,164 for every home, against RM 306 nationally. 10 of 125 areas recorded more per home. Homes here were damaged in 4 of the 5 years; the worst was 2023, at RM4.81M.

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 Pitas. 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.
