PropGPT financial score

52out of 100

Fair case on the numbers

Confidence: high, most figures known (100% of the weight known)

Adds up the measurable lines below: price against comparable homes, rental yield, the lease, how nearby prices moved, MRT distance and competing supply. 65 or more is a strong case on the numbers, 45 to 64 fair, under 45 weak. It leaves out what only you can judge (layout, school, the view) and is not a valuation or advice.

How the score is worked out

What a property agent would weigh up, from public data. Each line gives a plain answer and what it means for you. Open “Show the calculation” on any line for the exact figures.

PropGPT compares private condos and apartments only (ECs with ECs). HDB flats and landed homes are never in these comparisons, and every price is a real sale recorded by URA, not an asking price.

Price vs similar resale homes nearby · Neutral
Costs about 1% less than similar homes nearby
Condos usually sell for about 3% less than similar homes nearby (the middle figure of 1,298 existing condos PropGPT checked). This one is close to usual.

Based on 52 resales, Nov 2025 to Nov 2026 · a rough guide only
Show the calculationHide the calculation
What it compares
Each of this condo's own resales (its own 12 resales in the last 12 months) against resale condos and apartments within 1.5 km of a similar size (within 20%), sold Nov 2025 to Nov 2026. Each resale price is scaled to this condo's lease, and to its building age (completed 1977) where the resale's completion year is known. Not included: HDB flats, landed homes, homes resold before completion (sub-sales), and this condo itself.
The figures
This condo: S$1,049 psf, the median of its own 12 resales in the last 12 months.
Nearby resale: 12 of its 12 own sales are each compared with the median of nearby sales within 20% of its size, after the lease adjustment (52 nearby sales in all). The gap is the median of these per-sale gaps; S$1,062 psf is the nearby price that gap implies.
Lease adjustment, for example: a freehold resale at S$2,000 psf counts as about S$1,920 against a new 99-year lease (96% of freehold); a 99-year resale with 70 years left at S$1,500 psf counts as about S$1,646.
Age adjustment: 52 of 52 nearby sales are also scaled to this condo's age (completed 1977), about 0.9% per year of difference. For example, a resale in a building 10 years older at S$1,500 psf counts as about S$1,648.
Gap: S$1,049 psf ÷ S$1,062 psf − 1 = −1%. Usual gap (the middle of 1,298 existing condos): −3%. In your favour when this gap is 5 percentage points or more below the usual gap; watch out when 5 or more above.
How fair is this comparison?
A rough guide only. Existing homes against existing homes, lease and building age adjusted, each sale against homes of its own size; but neighbours differ in condition, size of development and facilities.
What this check cannot see
Building age is adjusted at one average rate, about 0.9% a year (measured from 10,793 private resales in 1,531 condos, Oct 2025 to Oct 2026). Real prices fall faster in a building's first 15 years and slower after, faster for 99-year leases than freehold, and upkeep differs between buildings.
The lease adjustment uses the SLA leasehold table (Bala's Table), which values land, not the building; on very old leases it may over-adjust.
Floor level, view and facing are not adjusted. A condo whose recent sales were mostly high floors looks dearer.
1.5 km in a straight line can reach across an expressway, river or park into a different market.
URA gives one map point per project, so large projects are measured from a single spot.

Each of this condo's own resales (its own 12 resales in the last 12 months) against resales in other existing condos in the same town (URA planning area) of a similar size (within 20%), sold in the same period, each scaled to this condo's lease, and to its building age (completed 1977) where the other condo's completion year is known.
The figures
This condo: S$1,049 psf
12 of its 12 own sales are each compared with the median of sales of a similar size in 15 other existing condos in Bishan. The gap is the median of these per-sale gaps; S$1,169 psf is the town price that gap implies.

Can it earn or hold its value?

Rental yield · In your favour

More than the typical 3.2% for existing condos, so rent would cover more of your costs if you let it out.

The figures
Nearby rent: S$3.12 per sq ft a month, median of 223 contracts (URA, Q1 2026 to Q3 2026)
Yield = S$3.12 × 12 ÷ S$1,049 psf = 3.6%. In your favour when 0.3 percentage points or more above the typical yield; watch out when 0.3 or more below.
How fair is this comparison?
Fair. Rents of similar homes nearby, not of this condo.
What this check cannot see
Gross yield: property tax, maintenance fees, agent fees and empty months usually take 1 to 2 percentage points off.
URA records rented sizes as ranges (for example 900–1,000 sq ft); PropGPT uses the middle.
Building age is not adjusted: a 25-year-old condo and a 3-year-old one count the same, so part of any gap is simply new against old.

Lease · Watch out
99-year leasehold, about 50 years left
Under 60 years left: CPF use and bank loans are limited when the lease does not cover the youngest buyer to age 95, so fewer buyers can buy it from you.

THOMSON 800 (1,036 m): +24% from 2022-Q1 to 2026-Q2; market +25%
In your favour when 60% or more of nearby projects beat the market; watch out at 40% or fewer.
How fair is this comparison?
A rough guide only. Each project against itself over time, so like for like within a project; but the projects are not this one.
What this check cannot see
PropGPT's sales data starts in October 2021, so an older project's 'first year' is a resale year, not its launch.
A project's early sales may be small units and later ones large, or the other way round.
Past price moves do not predict future ones.

The figures

In your favour when 5 percentage points or more ahead of the market; watch out when 5 or more behind.
How fair is this comparison?
Fair. The same condo at two times, but not the same units: the mix of sizes and floors sold differs.
What this check cannot see
A short period: from late 2021 at the earliest.
As the lease runs down, a leasehold condo is expected to lag freehold homes in the index.
Past price moves do not predict future ones.
