Housing is essential for human development and productivity. The price and suitability of houses depend on factors like location and amenities. Economic factors impact housing prices, and good housing improves health and reduces medical needs. Affordability and market sentiment are crucial for a balanced housing sector. The average housing price in Malaysia has seen a significant increase over the past decade, making it challenging for people to afford homes, especially considering stagnant salary growth. The ratio of house prices to average income is a crucial indicator of affordability. This disparity has implications for economic growth, as oversupply can occur due to the inability to afford housing. Therefore, it is crucial to study the factors contributing to house prices in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and Johor. The objective of the paper is to determine factors that affect the house prices in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and Johor.
