PropGPT financial score

89out of 100

Strong 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 · In your favour

    Costs about 20% less than similar homes nearby

    Condos usually sell for about 3% less than similar homes nearby (the middle figure of 1,294 existing condos PropGPT checked). This one is cheaper than usual for the area.

    Based on 125 resales, Nov 2025 to Nov 2026 · a rough guide only

    Show the calculation

    What it compares

    Each of this condo's own resales (its own 18 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 2002) 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$1,053 psf, the median of its own 18 resales in the last 12 months.
    • Nearby resale: 18 of its 18 own sales are each compared with the median of nearby sales within 20% of its size, after the lease adjustment (125 nearby sales in all). The gap is the median of these per-sale gaps; S$1,314 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: 125 of 125 nearby sales are also scaled to this condo's age (completed 2002), 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$1,053 psf ÷ S$1,314 psf − 1 = −20%. Usual gap (the middle of 1,294 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 18 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 2002) where the other condo's completion year is known.

    The figures

    • This condo: S$1,053 psf
    • 18 of its 18 own sales are each compared with the median of sales of a similar size in 12 other existing condos in Sengkang. The gap is the median of these per-sale gaps; S$1,326 psf is the town price that gap implies.
    • Age adjustment: 12 of the 12 other condos are also scaled to this condo's age (completed 2002), about 0.9% per year of difference.
    • In your favour when 10% or more below the typical price; watch out when 10% or more above.

    How fair is this comparison?

    A rough guide only. Same town, lease and building age adjusted, each sale against homes of its own size; but condition and distances to the MRT differ within a town.

    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.

Can it earn or hold its value?

  • Rental yield · In your favour

    About 4.8% of the price a year in rent, before costs

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

    Based on 496 rental contracts, Q1 2026 to Q3 2026

    Show the calculation

    What it compares

    Rents of condos and apartments of similar size within 1.5 km (URA rental contracts, last 4 quarters), per sq ft, × 12, against this condo's price per sq ft.

    The figures

    • Nearby rent: S$4.22 per sq ft a month, median of 496 contracts (URA, Q1 2026 to Q3 2026)
    • Yield = S$4.22 × 12 ÷ S$1,053 psf = 4.8%. 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 · Neutral

    Years left on the lease, from URA's lease start year.

    The figures

    • Lease value now: 86% of freehold; in 10 years: 80%.
    • SLA leasehold table (Bala's Table).

    How fair is this comparison?

    Very fair. A fact about this home.

    What this check cannot see

    • Bala's Table describes land value; what buyers pay for old leases does not follow it exactly.

    7 of 7 nearby projects rose faster than the whole market

    • RIVER ISLES (1,205 m): +37% from 2022-Q2 to 2026-Q2; market +21%
    • 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.

    • +28% against the market's +21%.
    • 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.

    Fair. Counts homes, not who will sell or rent them.

    What this check cannot see

    • Completion years in URA's pipeline often shift by a year or more.
    • Land sold but not yet in URA's pipeline is not counted.

    • Selling within 4 years of buying costs seller's stamp duty of 16% falling to 4%; buying now, that ends around Nov 2030.
    • A completed home: the full loan starts at once, and a buyer's agent fee (often 1%) is usual if you use one.
