PropGPT financial score
Not enough data to score: fewer than 4 in 10 of the figures are known.
Confidence: low, many figures missing (39% 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.

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.Lease · In your favour
Freehold
No lease runs down, so the home does not lose value as the years pass. Buyers usually pay more for this.

Very fair. A fact about this home.What this check cannot see
- Freehold land does not protect the building: it still ages, and an en bloc sale needs most owners to agree.

For each project within 1.5 km with enough sales: the median price of its first 12 months of sales in PropGPT's data against its resales in the last 12 months, at least 2 years apart, compared with URA's private non-landed price index over the same quarters.The figures
- THE MEZZO (86 m): +7% from 2022-Q1 to 2026-Q1; market +26%
- OKIO (121 m): +5% from 2022-Q3 to 2026-Q2; market +16%

- THE INTERWEAVE (459 m): +2% 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.
